Mad rush...

Less than 24 hours before I leave for LA (a 5am start!) and I'm frantically trying to get this weeks show finished and uploaded to Libsyn.

The RSS feeds and website updates I can do from the road as I've transferred both Feeder and Rapidweaver to my MacBook Pro, but the encoding really needs to be down from home via the Mac Pros. One encoded, there's usually 800MB or so of video files that need uploading for each weekly episode, so I really need my broadband connection here, to ensure the files get uploaded.

This weeks show has been interesting in that I've decided to do an updated "Behind the Scenes" show for next week, to celebrate the 200th episode. I had a few requests for something different for the 200th show, so as I've been creating the show this week, I've been recording small snippets describing the process as I go along. I may end up finishing the recording in LA at this rate. Should make for an interesting show next week.

Anyway, must press on and start work on creating the free version of the show!

PS Not sure how the blogging is going to go over the next week. You should be able to catch me on twitter though.

Just remember.....it's to go boldly, not to boldly go!

Have fun, take care, and look forward to hearing all about it on your return.

Much of the LA area is served by Verizon FIOS at 15 or 30 MBs .. Ahh, fiber optic!

Safe flight & bring shorts to CA

Allison carries the internet in her purse, so you're good wherever you decide to upload. :)
