Last night's show - GeekNights 20101010 - Twitter and a Tangent - will be up this evening.

The details as to why it will be late involve the following factors:
1. Adobe software is (un)surprisingly non-robust.
2. Audio which has inexplicably been quantized to a total of four discrete amplitude levels is excruciatingly unlistenable.
3. Adobe's user "support," even for paying customers, is practically nonexistent.

    If you don't like it write your own software, put up or shut up. :P

    If you are going to make a funny comment, make sure you believe in the joke strongly enough so that a smiley face isn't needed to show you are joking. This is especially important when criticizing someone. Your comment, with corrected punctuation, could stand up on its own. If you are afraid Rym would take the comment personally, and not in the way you intended, maybe it isn't worth trying to joke with him.

    Must do better.

    Would you kindly explain why your proposed method is better than the one he is using?

    Fuck off, I just like using smileys. ^_^

    Rym stupid, should be 20100510

    A 5 month delay would definitely have been somewhat excessive.

    You never know with Adobe products though.
  • RymRym
    Oh shit, the show is uploaded!
  • AxelAxel
    You know, Scott is kinda right in the argument. I see Rym's point, but he's stretching. The fact is, great features mean nothing compared to user-base.

    Yes, but why can't you have both?
    Also, Scott dared us to call him.

    Eh...I've never been one to take dares.

    The problem with the eye test game is pixels - dynamic text scaling will suck.

    I'm curious about the phone calls. I seriously considered calling just to be like, "Hey Scott, this is cool!" But then again, I don't like bothering people. Is everybody's Firefox crashing when it gets to the end of a video, or just mine?
  • OmnutiaOmnutia
    The thing with it being Scott's phone, is that, not many people really want to talk to Scott.
    Though it would be an interesting idea, to give someone a phone which anyone can call them on any time of the day and see how long it is before they snap it in half.
  • WindUpBirdWindUpBird
    Scott, when's the best time for us to call you?
  • OmnutiaOmnutia
    Please remember that, by calling Scott, he will then have your phone number.

    On a side note: Phone numbers are such an insecure system.

    Maybe I'll make a rap song, call Scott, and spit it at him if he answers the phone.


    ...That would be too much work, actually. Maybe I'll freestyle at him.

    *67 -> Dial Scott.

    How I Met Your Mother already did it.

    It's interesting how that you can take something seemingly simple like Twitter and make a rather interesting discussion about it. I did love hearing you guys talking about "basic" and "advanced" versions of twitter.

    Also, I'm not going to bother calling Scott. Unless he'd like to talk to me about the particulars of the Doctor Who RPG.

    I'm not sure Scott Rubin has Ever called me (except at Conventions) so I don't think you have much to fear.

    I'm sure Scott would call me many things, but "On the phone" is most probably not among them.

    What, like "master"?

    That's why you call from Skype, and, it only costs 5 cents a minute even calling overseas.

    Possibly. I'm not a professional.

    Scott was right and Rym was wrong. That is all.
