Links: Notes: We forgot to return to Mousser's question -- sorry! We'll get back to you, we promise! I thought I'd try the wide camera angle tonight, which I like, but when switching between the two angles, it felt spastic; like the video had skipped. So I think we'll try something different next week. Haha--Did you catch it? I seriously said "nine point oh ten" once when explaining the Ubuntu release cycle.
