8 days to go ?

Gosh I hope so,as ,presumably, the Enterprise dp-5 contained
something on top of dp-4; as a Studio chap that passed me by.

Ubuntu always have a jazzy countdown 'thingy' on their website;
but, Hey, they don't have elastic-sided GANTT charts.

I am positively slobbering (what a horrible image) with (as, per,
the Rocky Horror Picture Show) "anti . . .ci . . . pation";

although, sorry to disappoint you folks who depend on this, I will
not be donning my fishnets and doing "the Tim Curry" to
celebrate. [although, totally OT, Tim Curry did go to my school,
as well as many other people with creepy tendencies.]

I am, also, looking forward to my box of conference DVDs -
I wonder when they will materialise? Some of the lectures
(especially Ben Beaumont's ones) would be lovely to show
to some of the kids who are fiddling around with RevMedia
at hoe trying to make games.

Asked support some days ago, when the DVD set is shipped to the customers.

The answer:

"Thank you for your request.

I'm sorry, I don't have any firm information yet."

16 hours of video is a PIA to edit render, duplicate and ship, if you've
never done that before.

It's a lot of work. Last year the DVDs were delayed for a long time, many
times I assume due to presenters re-doing their live presentations for
whatever reasons. Those re-recreations were pretty bad; stiff, and boring. A
major attractor  for me is the 'live' presentation, with the personality of
the presenter coming through.

Really, I didn't know Pakistani Airways were involved in the DVD
production  . . .  :)

Yes, I have done "that sort of thing"; at one rather 'tight' period in
my life
I was converting Scottish wedding VHS tapes into DVDs; and dealing with
daft requests from wedding guests who didn't want too much of their
wedding breakfast drunken antics preserved for posterity. Once you have
seen 5 drunken yobboes in kilts you have seen them all . . .  :)

Frankly, if I never recieve the DVDs it is not the end of the world; I
am much more
keen on getting my sweaty paws on the final build of RunRev 4.

Not true. Definitely not true. I saw more than that in the Halfway
House a couple of months ago...

It wasn't an issue at RevLive. There was only one guy in a kilt there. ;)

I recreated some sessions for last year DVDs... mostly because the recording
software broke on my laptop during the presentation so I lost all my screens
which were valuable.

I rerecorded it a lot, I tried four or five times till I could get the
timing right but again, it was stiff and boring, it passed the message but
it was not entertaining as I wish it could be. I went to the film school and
those recreations would not pass by my own judgement. I plan to shoot some
tutorials though...

:D

The Rev folks lost all audio in one of my presentations and asked me to
recreate it.  This was not something I wanted to do, but I spent 3 days,
trying to figure out something close to what I said and trying to get the
timing to match the recorded video.  Quite an unpleasant and frustrating
task when you know it was already done before.  The result may have been
stiff and boring, but given that the presentation was supposed to be
somewhat informative, stiff and boring seems better than the alternative of
silence.

It wasn't the yobbo in the kilt that made the loudest noise, was it madam?

I must be crazy; in my upcoming revlet release of my Sanskrit typewriter
Muzz Landman Gay is only one of 3 RunRev developers mentioned in my
acknowledgements . . . mind you, in mildly abusive terms . . .  :)

Hope to have the RC1 'UP' by Friday night, at which point I will post
the URL
here.

I'm not sure, but I did enjoy looking at your knees. And meeting you was
a pleasure. I admit to being angry with you at first, but you've
redeemed yourself over the years and I now think of you affectionately
as "our" yobbo. I'm glad you stuck with us.

That made me go to the site and look. :) You've done a nice job. The
keyboard works well, though I can't understand a thing I typed. I had no
problem with the font (was using the newer update with the embedded
font.) The only thing I noticed was that the characters which required 2
clicks always seemed to output the same boxed glyph. The ones that only
required a single click did output different characters. I liked the
large text review. Editing there tranferred successfully to the keyboard
layout when I switched back. All the buttons I tried worked.

Good for you. Congrats.
