Didn't someone set up a recurring event awhile ago?

Michael Mrozek

I've been doing them manually since they're not always at the same time

Are they going to stay at 4pm for a while?

Rebecca Chernoff

4pm is the standard time.

Is the sound quality going to be any better this week?

Kyle Cronin

the hold music seems pretty good

Rebecca Chernoff

joel isn't doing the podcast at a conference, so let's go with yes. (:

Kyle Cronin

in terms of audio quality, so it looks like live stream is behaving itself

ChrisF

It wasn't so much that Joel was at a conference but the constant drop outs from livestream

Rebecca Chernoff

Oh. I watched the recording later and didn't notice that.

Grace Note

19:50

Hrm. I'm going to have to miss the podcast due to lunch. That's 3 weeks in a row I'll be missing.

Aarthi Devanathan Ψ

@GraceNote eat lunch earlier?

DMA57361

evenin' all

Grace Note

@AarthiDevanathanΨ I usually do

Like, 4 hours earlier, in fact

Aarthi Devanathan Ψ

@GraceNote just not on tuesdays 'cause of CommCall?

Grace Note

Call is on Mondays normally

Alex Miller

19:51

So i'm on the border of swtiching to ustream

because of all the livestream issues we've had

Aarthi Devanathan Ψ

but ustream sucks, too. =/

Alex Miller

however, livestream lets you stream multiple bitrates and ustream doesn't

and thats a pretty big deal

Grace Note

For that matter, no one seems to call during lunch.

Kyle Cronin

@AlexMiller I just saw today that Google+ is going to add a 'broadcast' feature to hangouts

don't know if that would work for your purposes

Shog9

Flash crashed twice after opening that page. Finally switched to a different computer, and Firefox w/ FlashBlock installed, and it's working.

Aarthi Devanathan Ψ

19:54

@GraceNote so....food at Real Lunch time?

is it Snacktimes?

Grace Note

I'm eating a late lunch because I missed normal lunch today.

Shog9

I'm eating apple pie instead of lunch. Because I'm surrounded by apple pie.,

Rebecca Chernoff

@KyleCronin iirc not everyone can be a broadcaster at first though?

Aarthi Devanathan Ψ

@Shog9 i want to go to there

@GraceNote pats

John Sheehan

yo!

Alex Miller

19:56

@KyleCronin hmmm, ill have to play with that

I'm just glad I didn't have any meetings today. well, roundup doesn't really count.

Jon Galloway

A podcast about board meetings? Almost as exciting as BEING at the board meeting!

What about a podcast about board meetings to discuss podcasts?

@AlexMiller like what happened in Indiana a month ago.

Another good argument for the fake backline

@AarthiDevanathanΨ eh, that was just a freak occurence

Kyle Cronin

20:09

maybe we need an AVP podcast

Aarthi Devanathan Ψ

@AlexMiller true, the windstorm was kind of epically unexpected. still, there were also structural problems with that stage, iirc

GnomeSlice

L...Live podcast chat? :O

Twello

Twello is a village in the Dutch province of Gelderland. It is located in the municipality of Voorst, about southwest of Deventer. Twello is a village between the cities Deventer and Apeldoorn. It has several primary schools, among them: De Hietweide, a public school, which means it has no religion tied to it and Sint Martinus, a catholic primary school, located in front of the Sint Martinuskerk (see picture). The village also has two high schools for vmbo and the first 3 grades of havo. Twello was a separate municipality until 1818, when it was merged with Voorst. Image:Twello, Have...

"imessage"

Aarthi Devanathan Ψ

Kyle Cronin

20:15

Kyle Cronin

20:16

BUT IF SMS GOES AWAY, HOW WILL I GET FREE RING TONES AND PIRATE NAMES FOR ONLY $9.99/mo???

Q: Explain this pickup line: "If Bangkok invaded Djibouti, would Greece help?"

I was at an Model UN conference and often notes like the following get passed. As I'm not a native speaker, I assume that this has to do with some pronunciational issue. Can you please explain what's so funny about this sentence? (Djibouti seemed to be often used in such context.) If Bangkok ...

pronunciation pun offensive-language jokes

Aarthi Devanathan Ψ

@GraceNote om nom nom. was lunch delish?

Jeffrey Blake

Did Joel already talk about Trello?

Grace Note

Aye

Marco Ceppi

@random <3

John Sheehan

@AarthiDevanathanΨ it's ok :)

Aarthi Devanathan Ψ

20:24

@jeff is right; it's really crazy from the outside. things like, my wife is totally submissive to me. that's a special kind of from-the-outside crazy.

Jin

hmm Judaism.se design..

Kyle Cronin

it's contradiction in terms to describe Christianity as "fact based"

Aarthi Devanathan Ψ

@JohnSheehan i mean, as long as you don't mind. jeff and joel will blather on if left unchecked ;)

Marco Ceppi

@Jin Payot?

Rebecca Chernoff

@random yeah, gee...this is exactly the type of question we strive for.

Grace Note

20:25

Huh, I never knew that payos (why do you have an apostrophe there?!) were a Jewish thing

Abby Ψ

PUNYON

Marco Ceppi

@GraceNote Because I don't really hang out on EUL and judaism.se as much as I need to

Joel Spolsky

either payot or payos, never payots

Grace Note

Ah, payos. Got it

Dyargh, my connection isn't really good enough to watch this.

Jon Galloway

What is the stackoverflow rep to bitcoin conversion today?

Grace Note

@MarcoCeppi Where did you pick up using apostrophes to indicate plural in the first place?

Jon Galloway

Ask John about his thoughts about BUILD / the tablets he's giving away / etc.?

John Sheehan

ummm....

Marco Ceppi

@GraceNote ;__; I always skipped English class to write code in the library. Apostrophes are for single character and pure string encapsulation.

Grace Note

@MarcoCeppi Which has nothing to do with plurality wargh

John Sheehan

20:29

i want to talk about API 2.0 too

Can't wait for Freelancers to come out of private beta

Kyle Cronin

what are the criteria for coming out of private beta?

Aarthi Devanathan Ψ

@KyleCronin one week and enough questions.

Kyle Cronin

@AarthiDevanathanΨ what is "enough"?

Aarthi Devanathan Ψ

@KyleCronin idk, ask @GraceNote

Jimmy Sawczuk

@OffBySome have you tried turning it off and on again?

GnomeSlice

I don't actually recognize who is who in this Podcast.

Grace Note

@KyleCronin To put it in perspective, "25" is too little.

Kyle Cronin

@GraceNote so more than 25 questions and a site goes into public beta?

Marco Ceppi

20:32

Mental note: The financial records are under Joel's (LOOK I DID IT RIGHT! :D) desk in his office.

Grace Note

@KyleCronin No

BrMcMullin

One should not get cookies for correct grammar

Aarthi Devanathan Ψ

@MarcoCeppi now to determine which office is his.

Grace Note

Hard number limits are a bad idea. We aren't just going "Oh, you have X questions, you're good to go!"

BrMcMullin

Well it IS a developer preview...

if you don't like something or it isn't clear, you should submit that as feedback so they can improve it

pc1oad1etter

20:33

Which is why you're giving it away...

John Sheehan

yep

Jon Galloway

Hmm - I've gotten used to it really quickly, but maybe because I'm not expecting it to be like an iPad?

Aarthi Devanathan Ψ

it was shiny, which i like. #Easy

Rebecca Chernoff

@GraceNote yeah, rock-paper-scissors like we really do is so much better! (:

Marco Ceppi

GnomeSlice

Which one is talking right now?

pc1oad1etter

Hot corners?

Kyle Cronin

@JoelSpolsky the gestures can be done with keyboard shortcuts

Brant

I got a new Magic Trackpad yesterday and I loved it... There are all kinds of neat gestures to do system stuff. Then I tried to drag a folder across the screen into another Finder window, ran out of space on the trackpad, and had to drop the folder on a Chrome window.

Abby Ψ

@JoelSpolsky look to your left - we all use mice with scroll wheels.

Aarthi Devanathan Ψ

@AbbyΨ except me, who uses her trackpad religiously

pc1oad1etter

oh my, 4 mac minis stacked up just for skype.

zomp626

would love to hear more from sheehan

Jon Galloway

Win8 on laptop w/ touch screen is working really well for me - nice to have a full keyboard for desktop apps, then flip to tablet for casual games while installing or downloading something time consuming

Stack Overflow Blog: The SE Podcast Setup

Posted by Alex Miller on August 17th, 2011

We’ve gotten quite a few questions from people about how we go about recording and producing the Stack Exchange podcast from people interested in everything from the hardware to the software and even the process. Given the recent revamp of the entire setup (which has been happening during our recent break from live shows), I figured this was the perfect time to do it.

Our setup is massively more complex than what is normally needed for a podcast (since its normally 2 people sitting in a room talking into mics). We generally have 2-3 people live in studio (Joel, Alex and maybe 1 guest), …

Michael Mrozek

@pc1oad1etter The amount of hardware that goes into the podcast is downright alarming

Kyle Cronin

@AlexMiller you're wrong, if you go into "Mouse" there is an option "Move content in the direction of finger movement when scrolling or navigating"

GnomeSlice

20:37

...Can someone tell me who is who? :P

user30

@Brant Can't you hold down with one finger and drag with the other?

Grace Note

@GnomeSlice Jeff has a lighter voice than Joel

Abby Ψ

plaid shirt on the right is @JoelSpolsky

Grace Note

Jeff is talking right now

pc1oad1etter

thanks

Abby Ψ

20:37

Dark sweater on the left is @AlexMiller

Brant

@ThomasMcDonald Can you? I didn't try that.

Abby Ψ

Not pictured, but talking now is @JeffAtwood

Shog9

In ascending order of pitch: Joel, Jeff, John.

Aarthi Devanathan Ψ

and then the last voice is @JohnSheehan, speaking RIGHT NOW

GnomeSlice

Heh.

Alex Miller

20:38

@KyleCronin that is the most obtuse option name ever

pc1oad1etter

You have to write code Joel, methinks

Marco Ceppi

Ugh, I have to build something

user30

@Brant You can with laptop trackpads. If you keep it 'held down' with one finger you can move your other back across the trackpad to give you some more space to drag with

Brant

@KyleCronin So you can use different scroll directions if you had a touchpad and a mouse connected at the same time?

Kyle Cronin

@Brant unfortunately it controls the same setting, so no

Brant

20:39

@KyleCronin Boo, hate that.

Kyle Cronin

but the setting is available in both the Mouse and Trackpad preferences

BrMcMullin

Wait I thought the Metro App interface was going to be Javascript and HTML5

Shog9

Because by the time .NET launched, they finally got COM working reliably

ChrisF

@BrMcMullin Nope. XAML, C# and all sorts of other stuff

BrMcMullin

Ok cool, thanks!

Aarthi Devanathan Ψ

20:40

false, I love drama. nobody rubbernecks the drama more than me. laughs

Brant

DevDiv puts out some awesome stuff.

digitalsanctum

i was under the impression this was suppose to be about Twilio, not Apple, Windows, etc.?

There are some good tablets out there.

the Touchpad from HP was good hardware

Jake McGraw

Kyle Cronin

but they're getting out of all that stuff

Hey, Apple products come with stickers!

Aarthi Devanathan Ψ

what? all our SO ~~minions~~ users love stickers.

@TimStone Yeah, but @Jeff doesn't like anyone from Gaming. :P

@Brant They also have that icon burned into the back of everything

Marco Ceppi

Nope.

I have been thinking about putting my Marshall sticker over the annoying HP light on the back of my Pavilion

Rebecca Chernoff

Wait, did we just manage to change the topic away from stickers for like an entire 60 seconds?

Joel Martinez

@JohnSheehan one Q ... what do your client's technology distribution look like? do you have a way of knowing what most of your users are using?

Katey Ψ

Sorry Lenovo but I've used two different versions of your laptops this year and iI have hated them both .

BrMcMullin

I'd love to support Trello, but my company just acquired a competing product :/

Tim Stone

@RebeccaChernoff I've given up trying to understand the flow of this conversation

Marco Ceppi

@BrMcMullin trello is free....

@TimStone What flow?

GnomeSlice

@MarcoCeppi Ew, coffee.

Aarthi Devanathan Ψ

@BrMcMullin nothing is worse than Sony suckitude.
