Things can go wrong. All in all, I don't think too bad.
]]>Hey there, I knew you would ask. I had fun last time so here we go again. This time I am more prepared. I have, hopefully correctly, tagged up and readied over 30 songs to stream with tonight. Click on over to the live page and my chat to learn more.
The show notes and, after I mix it, an audio only version will be available here.
]]>Regrettably, it seems likely we will have a few glitches to overcome. I have no clue why but my XP machine has been acting weird ever since I went to SP3. I can find nothing wrong with it but I do see it acting wrong. The first bump was that my Microsoft live camera freezes in ustream. Despite frozen video the audio would still stream. Since my live show is mostly music, that is not too bad.
Then, just as inexplicably, the video stopped freezing and all I can get for ustream audio is a steady hiss. I don't care what audio source I use, all I get is hiss. I can, however, still do the show. I just have to fall back to an archaic Winblows ME box. Anyhow, all I hope to see you all at 8 PM EST tomorrow. Just be forewarned that there may be a few glitches with the podcast when I take calls and such.
]]>I am also flattered by the positive feedback on the project. I promise you I will pursue it more. Right now here is what I plan to do:
Thanks for listening and reading all. Comments are welcome.
]]>I I think I have finally managed to dial everything in so that I can actually do a live stream and record it at the same time. The audio may still be a bit rough but I think that can be tweaked for the next one. I am also able to take on air calls which is kewl.
I don't think my mic is very good and I need to rework how my voice gets into the recorded end of it. Justplaindave on the other end seemed to have no issues understanding me nor I him. The recorded end of it is not so pretty though. There pops and hisses that I did not notice during the live portion of it. If you continue reading you will be taken to the show notes and video of the attempt.

Welcome to my latest resurrection of an old endeavor. I have shaken off the moth balls and decided to try it again. About three years ago, I did my first audioblog. I ended up abandoning to do radiostatic. Regrettably, it seems that trying to co-ordinate two busy schedules has made it impossible for exios and I to actually make it work. It is nobody's fault or blame but the reality is that we spend more time attempting to schedule it and talking about doing it than actually doing it. The obstacles of distance, health issues and technological problems have resulted in two critical problems. The first is but a semantic excuse for the second. We failed miserably at consistently posting shows. Every time we would gain an audience, we would have and issue and not do the show consistently, which is a key factor for a sucessful podcast.
If you gain listeners, they expect you to fulfill their desires for being there the next time. That is the worse thing we did. We let our listeners down. I am very sorry for that. It will not happen again. If it does, it is totally and entirely my fault.
]]>I have finally done it. I have made the leap to audio blogging. There is not much to write about here so tune in. One should also not that the notes below will make little sense unless you listen in.
It is far from perfect and far from what I wish to get to but it is a start.
