Well, I guess it is time to wipe off the dust around here.

As for uploading new stuff, I’m trying to go through Rant Media videos, but most of them seem to be hated by blip.tv. The transcodes seem to always timeout, so I have to convert to flash on my end, upload the flv, cross my fingers, and hope everything works before I can go on to the next video. There are roughly 60 videos from Rant that I am trying to upload, so this is a long tedious process that I hope to get a new start on soon.

The secret project I discussed last blog post has hit a snag as well. That project is ThinstackTV. ThinstackTV is a combination of ideas. The first being something akin to a production house. So ThinstackTV will hopefully one day play host to a bunch of daughter shows that are produced by members of the Thinstack community. So all of these shows are under the ThinstackTV network. Also what comes into play is a 24/7 video stream. This stream will feature these shows, older shows from this archive, open source movies, podcasts, etc. This is still in the development stages, and has an active IRC channel.

I am also starting work on my own IPTV show called Obsoleet that is currently in production. This site uses a domain Noobelodeon.org which I purchased and am using as a point for a few video projects. From the main page, you can see links to Obsoleet, Techtonic Shift (A show by Patt), and an IPTV Documentary. I like to think of the domain as a loose way to tie these projects together.
