Ben and I have been doing live video podcasts on uStream of a rather ‘extended’ version of our Tech Wired Australia show.
Thursday night, we were joined live by Jason Cartwright of TechAU.tv fame, and discussed a lot of the technical aspects of podcasting. I highly recommend checking his High-Definition podcast out, if you haven’t already – his production quality rivals some of the studio created shows out there. We also had around 50 viewers watching us at one point!
Last night (Saturday) was the longest, at around 8 hours with a 45 minute break in the middle. We managed to cover a huge number of topics in great depth which is a slight departure from the normal 30 minute show on Wednesday and Saturday nights.
Also last night, we had some great viewers in the chat room, asking us some tech-related questions. We were helping a guy in Yorkshire, England to install FreeNAS on an old PC he had, and connect to it with his Mac.
Unfortunately, it got to around 3:00am, I was getting very sleepy and in turn started to get snappy (telling Ben to shut up several times – I must apologise for that!). I think we managed to get the caller ALMOST sorted, but had given him a lot to go on to get himself to the point where he could start playing around with the FreeNAS system to get it to work just the way he wanted.
We’ve certainly had a lot of fun doing the extended broadcasts, and Im sure we will be doing a lot more of them. However I fear it will be an early night for me tonight as I have anotehr busy week ahead of me – but we shall see what happens
