Links: Notes: Wow, did you guys hear my voice turn into a monster? That's awesome! There are points when I sound like an alien! We installed the new Ustream encoder plugin this week to try to bump up the video stream quality, and there are a few weird audio anomalies. Steph: before you go to the Apple store, check out this link. I would particularly try the section "iPod is locked up" and go through the reset procedure. If that doesn't do it, try a different cable. Please post in the forum if this fixes it for you. I said you can watch all the past episodes of Category5 by pressing "Watch Live". I should have said by pressing "Watch the Show". No one has commented on this article. |
