Live podcast? + Time Warner problems

Jordan and I may be getting together to record a podcast in the same room! woot.
Normally we are talking over Skype, which can be annoying due to bandwidth issues and such.

Also apparently TWC had some trouble with their cable lines and because they don’t want you using their dial-in service as a “backup” if your home cable goes out, they were nice enough to disable dial-in logins today. I was unaware of these problems because my cable at both home and work was working fine, so when I went to my grandparents and tried to dial in… I was not happy. So I drove over to work and tried to talk to them over their Live Chat support… they were rude and basically told me that even though there was no real reason I should not be able to login to the dial-in access, I couldn’t because of the cable outage. Thanks Time Warner! Stand up service.

It’s a pain in the butt to get their dialup to work even when they don’t close it off due to unrelated problems. I made a post a while ago on how to work around RoadRunner’s horrible dialer and connect under OS X. You can probably do something similar under Windows and Linux but unfortunately I don’t have specific instructions. The key thing is to use aolnet/ent.youremail as the user name.

It sucks that there are no good ISPs.

Post Production + RatHoles :P

Minimal Perfection episode #7 is up.
Mac McMahill guest stared. It went pretty well if I do say so myself.
Lots of fun. Good times.
Probably more funny than one of our typical podcasts, depending on your sense of humor.
I had to edit it a LOT in order to get it to be “clean.”

We’re still looking for someone to do show notes… because we’re lazy.

More podcasts are on the way

Yes I realize it seems it’s been ages since we’ve released a podcast, but I promise we will do at least one this week.
We may even do up to 3.
Mac has agreed to to an episode on video production / post production with us, so at the least that one should be interesting.

Podcasting alone?

Jordan is going to Jersey, so I may be releasing a podcast solo on Monday. If I remember how to use the RSS manager. >_>
I always make him do that part.

Schedule for Minimal Perfection

Posted at December 1, 2006 4:05 pm | In Podcasting | By Ben Woodruff

I think we may have finally worked out a schedule for Minimal Perfection that will work for everyone.
We’re going to record between Thursday and Saturday, and post the episode on Monday. That leaves me with Sunday to do the editing and show notes.
Hopefully that will help our listeners out by giving them constant release dates, and help us out by giving us a little more time to work on things.
