you should take the embedded player off posts like these after you’re done, when the page loads a split second of what ever’s live plays, enough for a jarring suprise

This was just a mess. Was really looking forward to it. Maybe next time it will work out better.

For me (Firefox on Mac OS X) the audio starts automatically, and I can’t even work out how to stop it, except by turning the volume of my computer to zero. Oh, and I’m hearing some completely different program… oh yes, and the audio is so choppy, it’s incomprehensible anyway. Sorry Phil, technology Fail!

I’m seeing it. Audio is a bit rough but working.

Except I’m seeing “This week in computer hardware” not you interviewing Zach tho’.

They are talking about Hydra though!
But not the “proper” Hydra(s) – the constellation or Plutonian moon – unfortunately. ;-(

Guess I’ve missed it. Is this blog working on Pacific* time after all then?
(Midday in Oz now.)

* “Pacific time” – that ocean covers half the world pretty much and includes Japan, New Zealand and Australia as well. Hmmm …

Yep, audio really choppy, so much so that I can’t stand to watch it sadly. I’ll wait for the recording for better playback.

here a better way Phil to universaly watch twit on osx/windows/Linux/bsd

install mplayer from here for all major OS http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html

then use this command argument to watch back TWIT (in the command prompt (windows) and terminal (osx/bsd/linux)

mplayer -aspect 16:9 http://bglive-a.bitgravity.com/twit/live/high

you can also have a lowfi stream by replace high with low

kewls enjoy

goodluck Phil

Universal out
