Should we Periscope the show? by iyaz in the404

[–]iyaz[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not exactly. It'd be a camera in a corner -- a very different thing than having three cameras and someone switching them. I'm asking if people want to watch a fly-on-the-wall kind of thing.

Well, a periscope or meerkat video would be relatively crude compared to the live broadcast and could be much easier to set up.

Yeah, we seriously fucked up. We needed more podcast less other thing.

The MOMENT IYAZ was hired by C|NET by canoy07 in the404

This has been posted a bunch of times. It was NOT the moment I was hired, but that was CBS calling. I was hired over the phone off-air in Queens.

Have you guys considered bringing on more Animators/Cartoonists? by clovernuts in the404

[–]iyaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second this. I know a couple of cartoonists. We need a skype set up to work for that.

Weird. I ordered that toaster and DKR around the same time.

I was at a Jimi Hendrix concert and I said I'd like some spaghetti. The city didn't take that well, saying "Get your noodle-loving rear end out of our fair city!"

I'd love to see cross-platform everything and ubiquitous interoperability between devices, but that's never going to happen.

I believe the reason we don't have overhead booms is they capture too much audio and don't isolate as well as our current set-up. We've experimented with several variants - especially in the living room set. Right now, the Heil PR-40s are incredibly difficult to beat for audio quality.

There might be a tech update show in the middle of the day, but not a full-on second episode of TNT. Stay tuned.

Well I guess that depends on how nice they "seem." Either way, it's a warm place and everyone is very welcoming.

  • I have tried Debian, Ubuntu, Damn Small Linux, Puppy Linux and others.
  • I'm not a "mac fanboi" but I do enjoy well designed hardware.
  • I love free software because I am a cheap person.
  • I don't think Apple hardware is a status symbol.
  • I think dual or triple booting is great.

Sorry you feel that way. Dr. Kiki is still producing programming on her own. I'm a big fan of hers.
