I won’t be doing an episode of Stilgherrian Live Alpha tonight, but within 48 hours I’ll let you know when episodes 6, 7 and 8 will be on.
Impromptu episode 5.2
I just did a quick Stilgherrian Live Alpha (episode 5.2) from my hotel room in Canberra. The recording stopped after about 10 minutes, so it’s in two parts called, oddly enough, part 1 and part 2. Topics covered include the Politics & Technology Forum, Internet and telephone coverage along the Hume Highway, and what happened to my beard.
Impromptu Stilgherrian Live Alpha
I did an impromptu Stilgherrian Live Alpha from Kelly’s On King, our local “Irish” theme pub, yesterday afternoon. There was a network drop-out, so after a few minutes of episode 5.1A you’ll need to grab the bulk of the program at episode 5.1B. The video starts late: there’s just a black screen at the beginning. But the quality improves noticeably as the program continues. Enjoy!
Clever forged videos, please ignore
The two videos on Qik, here and here, which purport to show me and others at the Ancient Briton Hotel in Glebe last night are clever forgeries. While rather convincing, and certainly a credit to the forger, they should be ignored.
[Update 22 March 2014: Technologies come, and technologies go. Qik is no more. Its video messaging functions have been absorbed into Skype, and Qik will cease to exist on 30 April 2014 — although videos embedded in websites are replaced with the message “video unavailable”.]
At PubCamp Sydney today
I will be at PubCamp Sydney this afternoon. Will I see you there?
Maybe episode 5 happens tonight?
Given the evidence on my Twitter stream today, I’d probably better do an episode of Stilgherrian Live Alpha tonight. Maybe 9.30pm Sydney time? Does that conflict with anyone’s TV viewing?
