Three Great Segments – Tech Roundtable April 29th
–by Andrew McCaskey
I’m recording this podcast about two hours later than normal – but I wanted to share the reason why: I’ve just finished the online rehersal for the Tech Roundtable that will be live at 1:30PM Pacific tomorrow, and I really believe this is going to be the best roundtable yet.
I fired up a GoToMeeting session Scott Corley from Red Mercury this afternoon just to get him comfortable with the application, and got a glimpse of the presentation that he’s planning for the Roundtable to show how a developer can port an application to the U3 environment – just like the current TPN/U3 Developer’s conference. It’s g oing to be a combination of a deep dive into the details and lots of references and resources, plus some real insight from a developer who has made of success of the game business.
The evening rehersal session included our other two presenters: Allison Sheriden of Nosillacast and Mark Bradley, a TPN member from Sydney Australia who just flew to the state. You may hear rumors concerning my short term memory for Skype passwords.
Lies, all Lies.
Mark Bradley of the Antipodean Podcast - which I continually mispronounce as Anti-Pode-Ian . We previewed his slides on Portable Podcasting .You’ve heard of custom made pool cues – well one of Mark’s secret podcast weapons is a custom made microphone- that you can afford. Hardware, processes and techniques for maximizing the quality and effectiveness of your mobile podcast, and getting through airport security with a minimum of hassle.
Nosilla is Allison spelled backwards – and Allison Sheridan of the Nosillacast podcast has a real treat. You’ve heard of Apple’s BootCamp – allowing dual boot of OSX or WinXP on Intel based Mac hardware. Allison will be showing us Parallels, an application that runs on the Mac and permits you to have simultaneous OSX, Linux, Windows XP , Windows98, or whatever running at the same time. Allison’s machine – with the Duo and two GB of RAM was running OSX, a Skype conference call, uploading a 40MB Quicktime Animation, while running WindowsXP and presenting on GoToMeeting in a separate window. Not even breaking a sweat, she could have had a Linux window running on the same machine at the same time. When the XP machine crashed, she reloaded two files from a Mac folder, rebooted the logical machine and was back online. It looks like Boot camp has been left in the dust.
