Was looking forward to this, but unfortunately, I can't make that time slot.

Any idea how soon after the session the screencast/video/audio will be available for viewing after-the-fact?

Would love to be able to watch it tomorrow evening :)

Thanks!


Will be ready right after the session

A great thing about Dimdim is that you just click record and the session is automagically captured. Will post it here and the other appropriate places after the session.

The session was captured, but due to some technical difficulties, Aaron had to redo the 2nd half (the man was on a roll!!). After trimming off the rough edges, I'll upload and provide links here.

Looks like we've already found a great candidate for the next session! - http://drupal.org/node/399984

FYI, the provider file we worked on was actually working; there was a bug in Embedded Media Thumbnail that was causing problems. I hadn't had that installed locally when I first developed the lesson plan, but it was installed at http://drupalmultimedia.org/, which threw me off.

In any case, I just opened a project page for Media: Hulu, for those of you who want to skip to the chase...

Here are the 2 parts to this session - technical difficulties made the 2nd half of part I unusable and Aaron picked things back up in part II - we'll edit these together when there's time (which would be much easier if Dimdim gave us something other than .flv).
