Correction for the show: Hollye humbly admits that she mistakenly corrected Ray during the show, advising him that he should use the term “unsecure” and not “insecure” when referring to network security. However, “unsecure” is not a word. She offers her sincere apologies. Grammar is one of Hollye’s strengths, and one of Ray’s weaknesses. Thus, Ray quickly accepted Hollye’s grammar corrections.

Video for your iPod

Here it is - Video for your iPod!
The video formatted for your ipod has been done for days, but I finally got around to uploading it to the server.

Let me know what you think! This version has better audio and effects but the overall quality of the video is worse (IMO).

A new show will hopefully be recorded tomorrow, not sure when it will make it up, there may be back to back releases of shows this weekend.

Thanks,
Ray

VidCast

We will have a slight delay on the next show.

However, here is the first video of the show(in wmv)! A video ipod version will be available some time tomorrow evening, along with some additional content recorded at the end of the show, that is only available via video.

I edited the video using windows movie maker for the .wmv file and iMovie for the .mp4 file. I will discuss the various experiences of these two methods on the next show.

T-Shirts etc.

We want to make Tech Teacher t-shirts (mouse pads, coffee cups, etc.) through cafepress.com . Due to both of our lack of artistic talent we would greatly appreciate any listener submitted designs. If we use your design we will come up with some sort of prize and give you a free shirt with your design on it. Email ideas/designs to rayandhollye@gmail.com.

Thanks,
Ray

Video

I cleaned up the comments and turned on the word filter, so there should be less 'spam' on here from now on - sorry for the inconvenience.

I am going to work on the video tonight. Depending on how well it goes, it might be ready as early as tomorrow, or as late as next weekend. We have already had several requests for exactly when the video will be out, so there is some demand.


Thanks,

Ray

Show 18

(Run Time: about 32 minutes)

The audio for this show is completely unedited because we are working on doing a video version of our podcast. However, the video will not be edited for at least another week.

One more thing—many of the comments on this blog are spam, so don’t click on the links in those. We will try to clean those up soon, time permitting.
