So, what happened with the videos of the last conference? Last thing I heard was that they were going to be delivered on Friday (like two months ago).

Did I miss them?

Thanks

I think they have passed into the realm of myths and legends. Soon,
these fabled pieces of history will be remembered only by those who
were there, and then they will be lost forever.

We all miss them...


Speaking serously, these are the last news on topic (to my knowledge):

It's true.. I really do have them.  I've even watched a tiny portion of the two days.  It's no longer anyone's fault but mine that they're not posted.  I'd intended to watch to confirm the quality of the videos and post them this past holiday weekend, but then I went and got sick instead. I'd have much rather watched the videos, trust me.

I'll do my best to get at least walter and andrei's talks posted tonight with the rest to follow as I can.

Later,
Brad

Why make that a one man's job?  If you post them, I'm sure you'll have plenty of people watching them and pointing out problems.

I wonder where the best places to announce these videos publicly are?  I mean once you release them.  Perhaps digit?  A high volume of links to the videos will increase their google popularity rating right?

Did you had time to post them? I'm sorry to be bugging you, but I can't wait to see those videos :D

For the impatient like me, here's an oldie:

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7073020265668105471

That's Walter's NWCPP presentation.

Short form:
  Google now has both parts of 'the future of d', marked private until I
finish watching both parts (uploaded before I got a chance to watch it,
so doing so directly from google rather than the file I sent).

Long form:
  Google video is a pain in the ass.  It accepted the first upload (over
a gig), but wouldn't let me view it.  The second time (700 meg version
-- lower bitrate) I tried to upload it, it took all night.  I started it
when I got home last night and after 4 hours, it was still trickling
slow over (no where near my bandwidth caps).  It finished while I slept.
 I started the upload of the second half to occur while I was at work
today and it looks like it took 3ish hours (for another 700 megs).

I'm going to finish watching both halves tonight while more videos are uploading.  As I watch them, I'll mark them public and post the relevant info on .announce.

The primary reason I'm watching them is that at least one of them is _supposed_ to have a discussion at the end trimmed out.  I don't remember exactly when it occurred (other than that it was on the second day).  It diverged into the single issue that I was asked to stay away from when I got permission to host the conference... licenses.  That's the ONLY topic that won't be posted publicly and only constituted about 10-15 minutes.  Quality is the second, and won't stop me from uploading unless it's outright unwatchable.  Making sure they're _my_ videos is the third.  I won't want to be responsible for posting videos from other amazon presentations publicly by accident.  It'd take a lot of really stupid accidents to have that happen, but it only takes watching 'em once through to be certain, so it's a small price to pay.

The quality of the parts I've watched as been 'ok' but not 'great'.

More soon..

Later,
Brad

brad you are a great guy & all. but with all due respect. what in the fuck is going on with those amazmoron lawyers. what the fuck is their problem. not only they sit one fucking year. no sorry. i mean not only they sit ONE FUCKING YEAR (and i fucking swore i'll never use caps again) on the videos like they're getting off them. perverts. but at the end they can't fucking give you proper fucking files or at least some fucking timings on what to remove. shit. you now have to watch all over just in case walter took his shorts off. geez. been waiting for those vids like a baboon in heat. pun not intended. shit.
