Qik on the (jailbroken) iPhone

Friday, August 15th, 2008

So they seem to have worked out the kinks with the beta Qik client for the iPhone. Actually, the kinks were in their website’s handling of iPhone-originated video.

In any case, you can go to qik.com/rae and see my short masterpieces. Plus, if I happen to be recording at that moment, you can watch it live! Ooooh, ahhh.

I will embed the video I just took at work for your edification and amusement. :-)

TechTok 03: open source iTheatre, OpenStep

Sunday, August 13th, 2006

This week Iain and I are attending Apple’s World-Wide Developer Conference (a.k.a. WWDC) for 2006. We chatted on the airplane. Despite the babies crying in front of us and behind us, and the loud ambience, you can understand almost all of what we’re saying.

One day we’ll actually post edit our recordings. (4.9MB, 10:35)

Yes, I am on a roll posting these. The enclosure tags in the posts should make them work as a podcast. Just add http://tech.tnir.org/feed to your lists of podcasts.

TechTok 02: Mac Mini

Thursday, March 2nd, 2006

Last night, Iain and I spent an hour recording a podcast using the new versions of GarageBand and iChat that work together.

I am somehwat underwhelmed by the quality, but it’s intelligible at least. We mostly talk about the new Mac Mini (with Intel CPU) and how its graphics are sub-par. Obviously some people are quite happy with the on-board Intel GPU because its 2D performance is very good.

Not me though.

You can listen as Iain makes the case that there are no 3D games on the Mac that need good 3D graphics, so it’s no big deal.
