Robert, could you please explain the hard- and software-setup using for the live-stream?
- HansVanRock
Hans: We haven't announced the hardware and software we are using to stream the Gang yet, but for starters it's powered by NewTek Tricaster.
- Steve Gillmor
Looking forward to this, and would like to hear about the tech too

I'll be asleep on the other side of the world. Let us know when you get the RSS feed up, Steve :)
- Edward Coffey
Plans on a downloadable file? I don't think the boss would appreciate me walking around the store with headphones on. :-)
- Larry Walker
Clicking the embedded viewer works at any hour in any part of the planet.
- Steve Gillmor
Cool, so I just need to write a script to click that link and record the stream so the file is waiting for me when I sync my MP3 player. Modern technology makes it so much easier than when we had to use clunky old VCRs to record things!
- Edward Coffey
you'll be able to download the MP4 as soon as Google fixes a bug they're working on.
- Steve Gillmor
Excellent, thanks Steve. (which bug?)
- Edward Coffey
. @edwardc I am sure the mp3 will be available on the gilmor gang bootleg feed
- Christian Burns

if everyone insists on bootlegging, then won't worry about Google fixing the bug
- Steve Gillmor
no bootlegger me....just need something that will play on my iphone after the fact. :)
- Karoli
No bootlegging here either, just need something to show up in iTunes (automatically) with the rest of the podcasts.
- PXLated
sounds like you will have at least a few options. I'm not planning to release audio only, so you'll need to either get a blindfold or go bottleg
- Steve Gillmor
well, we'll give it a try, see how it rolls.
- Karoli
Will there be official 'Gillmor Gang' blindfolds available in the Building 43 gift shop?
- Cliff Gerrish
Can I get a pair of "driver"-style GG blindfolds, please?
- Robert J Taylor

Attention wise, video is much more expensive than audio. I don't have the money to devote an hour of my eyes and ears to the gill or gang at this time.
- Christian Burns
from iPhone
Christian, I think what they're saying is that you can put the MP4 on your playback device and listen to it and ignore the video component. I know that works on iPods and iPhones.
- Dave Winer
Dave, you are as unproductive as you've ever been. What I've said is that RSS is in the process of being disrupted by micromessaging, and no amount of name calling is going to change that. Your attempts to reinvent RSS will not get traction if you continue to slime the messenger. And having this discussion here underlines how partisan your attacks are.
- Steve Gillmor
The message above is out of context because Dave Winer deleted the message to which I am responding. I thought about saving his message and reprinting it below where only the owner of this thread could remove it, but figured it wasn't worth it. This is also why I never respond to anything in a thread Dave owns unless I don't care if it gets erased or the context removed.
- Steve Gillmor
Where's the Winer Watcher when you need it?
- Matthew Gifford
The iPhone has a bug that will not allow you to download over the air for consuming later mp3s or mp4s unless they are an enclosure to an RSS feed.
- Christian Burns
from iPhone
once Google fixes their bug (Wednesday) you should be able to download via RSS.
- Steve Gillmor
Steve, the msg you're referring to was here just a few seconds, I realized it'd provoke the kind of response it has, and decided I didn't want to go there. Re being unproductive, I've had a cold this week and have been unable to do dev work, but I'm feeling better and expect to releas some new software this week. Don't expect TC to cover it, as usual. Finally Steve as you know the <cloud> element has been in RSS for eight years, hardly a retrofit.
