My TechTV appearance

This is the clip of my netcam call into The Screen Savers, back before it died. You can also watch this in higher quality Quicktime here. Epilogue: Kevin Rose recommended Debian because it has a utility named apt-get that makes installing apps much easier. I ended up using Ubuntu, a distro that is based on Debian, and apt-get turned out to be one of my favorite things about Ubuntu. I haven't even bothered trying to compile a program since I switched to Ubuntu.

Gringo, The Screen Savers took live calls during the show. You didn't have to have the netcam. If you did call in with a netcam you used Microsoft Meeting.The voice quality wouldn't be very good with that, so they had you use a phone.

Hey Dude,

The last day or so I've been putting in some hours trying to figure out this viedo blogging thing. I just posted my first one to my site not too long ago. I was wondering if you could help me out. I don't know much about video conversion, because many of my files are way too big, what is an easy way to size them down and save quality?
