Despite the horrible audio clipping at the start and occasional clipping throughout (it decided to not see my USB mic for some reason today and nothing i did could convince it otherwise), the "hey, it's my living room!" recording lair and it being the first hour long show I've done ("Dammit, look into the camera!!!") ... show one is in the can. We peaked at 225 viewers during the live recording, and we'll see how many people watch it over the coming week.
You can watch it (and future episodes) here on my "Seigo on KDE" channel; you need to scroll down to the Video Clips section to watch the recorded show. The show notes that accompany the show are here and include links to the screenshots and other files referenced.
Apologies in advance for all the non-free software .. If there was a good, live-streaming site with a decent interface I'd hop to it in a heartbeat. Maximizing impact while minimizing the impact on my time is critical.
Where are all the FOSS web dev projects? identi.ca is a nice start and Slashdot is the long time standard bearer, but we just don't see many online services that use FOSS frameworks ...
Update: There is now a torrent of the show available, thanks to Serenity on irc.

I had no clipping, quality was very good for me (France).
Thanks, and drink hot tea ;)
Very nice especially for a premier
I saw the program after but couldn't find all the links to the screenshots so I couldn't understand much of the part where you talked about them :-(
I know you mentioned that next time you want it to be displayed on the video itself.
Have to find out what's the time of your next one converted to my local time so I can watch life.
Thanks a lot for all the effort

Excellent show, I must say :). Very well done!
Of course, it could've been more professional (for example: start the show immediately), but all-in-all, it was a blast!
Thanks, and it was cool to see P-Man.
I'm really excited about what the show can do. I just home you manage to get the best tools together, Its not an issue for me that they maybe proprietary in nature, i think we can use them up until we come up with a good FOSS alternative. Imagine this could spinoff to be something cool where we can do video tutorials much like the www.learnvisualstudio.net or asp.net their great resources and we need somthing similar on techbase urgently, there so much good stuff in KDE Libs we need to expose it to the rest of the world!
Great work aseigo
>It stops in totem after a few >seconds
There is your problem.
Use VLC.
It never failed me under three OS.
We bought a Dell Mini this week with Ubuntu. It was a great experience except for audio and video. After a frustrating 20mins, I dumped Totem and the default audio player and installed VLC, Amarok and Kopete (because the sucky Pidgin doesnt do video yet).
Dont blame the file, blame the player
Oh yeah... loved the show.
Lots of little things you can do (links, sound, etc) over time to improve but the medium is not the message.
Im happy youre back to blogging and think this is the next logical step.
Love the QA component.
Maybe have a wiki that would keep track of questions/answers that were already asked.
The flash player on that site seems to use some weird port that is not accessible to me. At home, I am behind a heavily firewalled connection that only let's me use the ports for mail and http surfing (no ssh). And at my schoool, it also seems to not work. And if I should as much as click on a torrent file here, the whole network will automatically be blocked until they find out who did it.
So it would be very nice if someone could provide a link to the file, non-torrent... Or maybe put it on youtube or similar.
Nice show!
is it true that the shows are weekly ?

as you can see, its a flash video file .. how well you can play it on your system will depend on how updated your player of choice is ..
@mhogomchungu
That weird port in your link is exactly the reason I cannot view the file. 18881 is not accessible through my school or home's restrictive firewalls
@metelliuscode
its a strange online world you are living in :-)
..you can try downloading on computers that can download it(at a local public library? friends house?) and then watch it later on a computer of your choice ..or usb devices arent allowed to be connected to the computers you have access too? ..ha ha ha ..
@mhogomchungu
Laugh all you want, while I cry myself to sleep :(
Thanks to your first link, I was actually able to download the show through an ssh tunnel to my home university (I'm abroad right now). Obviously, there will always be ways around stupid firewalls and restrictions, but that's not an excuse for not making a little effort for letting more people easily view your content (ie, use a port that's usually allowed through firewalls)
Either way, in my case I will just continue download it through the ssh tunnel if nothing else can be done. I really want to see the videocast :)
I liked the show so much I pimped it on the Linuxoutlaws.com forums.
I only found out about it the day after so i watched the taped version. Definitely will be there next time for the live version with questions in hand.
You should put at the top of your blog when the next live show will be.
And I like the idea of a wikia/shownotes thing, especially if it pertains to questions. The last thing you/we want is the same questions every week.
You also need an intro. Maybe a canuck band? Maybe some ska horns... Let us know if you need suggestions.
