Summary: Allegations of “Negativism” in Techrights and in “Boycott Novell” are put in perspective.

THIS is not a proper episode of TechBytes Video. I have been testing a few things in order to improve future delivery (when Tim and I both find time) and in the mean time I do try to convey some messages in means that are not text-only. In this video I speak about my experiences facing the allegation that this site is too abrasive.

Summary: Delays and procrastinations as the cause for TechBytes Video not being released more often

TechBytes Video has not produced anything due to difficulties associated with setting everything up. In this video, an explanation is informally given (no preparations made, so pardon the quality) as well as a teaser about another new show.

Summary: An audio-only version of yesterday’s episode, hopefully with future recurrence of such a version for video shows

Yesterday’s [cref 48069 video episode] suffered some audio encoding issues, which led to loss of some information. It seemed reasonable to reach out for the audio dump and then put together the 3 parts with songs in between. The songs chosen for this episode are, in order of appearance, “Edge of My Seat” by Amber Rubarth, “Have This Drink” by Black Mike and Kemistry, and “Joyful Noise” by Breakestra (all from SXSW 2010).

“Thanks to the listeners/readers/viewers who provided advice and invited people to be guests.”The plan is, in general, to invite more guests to the show (like we originally did) and make that the key series of audio shows. Combinations/hybrids of audio and video can be put together separately and more quickly (less scheduling with guests along with other preparation are required), although we are still trying to resolve some technical difficulties with these. Thanks to the listeners/readers/viewers who provided advice and invited people to be guests. We have many in line now. One is scheduled for recording tonight.

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: Pilot for a new show that will come in the form of video

THIS episode is a test which we hope will help us get sufficient feedback before the first episode of the video series/show. Please put comments at the bottom to help us improve delivery. We are already aware that audio and video are a tad out of sync (video lag) and will attempt to address that.
