It seems that right after things appear to be going smoothly, there is at least a speed bump. May be it is because the ride is so smooth that you just notice the minor glitches more. Nonetheless, Lumpster is rather miffed at his technology. I am really looking forward to doing things more consistently. I still plan to Podcast live tomorrow night at 8PM EST. That is Wednesday, June 25th at 8 PM EST.

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.

Wow! has it really been since Christmas? Been too long! Sorry about that but remember "The Lumpcast is a podcast of undetermined length, publishing frequency or topic". Since I am receiving almost all positive feedback, I guess I should make an effort to be more consistent.

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.
