First Episode of TechBytes Video


Summary: TechBytes video debugging and special coverage about SeaMonkey, the extensive software suite; we also cover Minecraft and few other topics

THIS is still somewhat of a prototype, but it is also our first episode of TechBytes Video, which required us getting a lot of technical difficulties resolved. The content was not coordinated and we hope people enjoy it nonetheless. We ought to stress that the audio show will continue separately as usual (this weekend, however, is a special one because of the Royal Wedding and Bank Holiday). We will produce audio shows at least once a week as visual element is not needed for a lot of the issues we cover, such as copyrights, patents, and songs that are freely (and legally) shareable.

Bytenotes: unusually, since we were still working on technical matters rather than anything like content for the show (it is not scripted or prepared really), just before recording the first episode of their new show Roy and Tim were experimenting with video as they attempted to debug an audio-video synchronisation issue, as well as screen size issues. The tests involved us going through SeaMonkey as proof of concept.

Summary: Rockstar Jono Bacon joins Tim and Roy to speak about the new Ubuntu release, his awesome band, and some interesting life ambitions

Jono BaconThis is the first among many shows where we attempt to get back into having guests, preferably different ones at each show. We are very pleased to have Jono Bacon with us today. We added a section about news to start off this show, so the section where we speak with Jono starts after 31 minutes. We apologise for some recording issues (mostly volume-related imbalances, which we tried to mitigate manually with limited success).

“Color” by April Smith (SXSW 2010 Showcasing Artists) and “End of Days” by Jono Bacon’s band are the tracks which we put in today’s show. We hope you will join us for future shows and consider subscribing to the show via the RSS feed. You can also visit our archives for past shows.
