Questions About Using The Forum

This old crone, too, Dilli! Never underestimate the crones.

LOLOL this particular crone is working a veritably ancient HP box on a dial up. I tend to "go by" the video and the "you-tube" and even the audio/interviews because I don't have the d/l capacity to view or listen on the fly. On a GOOD day it could take me 20 minutes or more to d/l 3-5 minutes of streaming content.

dilli, I know, you know, the frustrations. Can't let it get in the way of what enjoyment is there, just makes it a little more precious for the work.

For what it is worth to the BSSD and the SBT, there ARE those of us in the lower 48 who are constrained by equipment and access issues, and are unable to enjoy the exceptional coverage provided. When and if you find yourselves unable to meet broadcast goals, LOL, remember that the written word can be worth a lot !

Thanks for the reminder....and yes, I agree. That is what we hope to accomplish with the forums here.

This morning was just a cascading series of multiple technical issues that needed solved so we can smooth things out. And, it's kind of "bleeding edge" stuff the SBT was setting up. Occupied most of their attention.

During the race we will focus on multimedia AND print....text.....live updates and so on. We appreciate the reminders, though.

I watched all the videos in the BSSD gallery with the quicktime player ( checked out all the photos too) over the summer when there was no traffic .. the BSSD SBT did a fabulous job .. I still crack up laughing about the "Tundra Daisy" moniker for the portable Iditasled Satellite Dish

I certainly didn't want to be a 'downer', your team is capable and gifted and doing an amazing job !!!

I love every minute of being here, giving huge thanks to you and the SBT.

You all are envisioning and modeling the best of first person reporting/ on the spot/ from ground zero. It is a new model, your SBT kids will be well prepared for the future, as they are creating their entry into the broadcasting world.

There is going to be a huge Come -to-God between Marketing and IT. Marketing is going to use all available immediate streaming video to catch interest. IT is going to be tasked to the max to capture and convert to data base.

Hey,

I was serious...we NEED the reminders, and it the kids need to know that we have a diverse audience in terms of both geography AND connection type.

Adrianna's students are going to try some more live streams and uploaded text and still reports in the morning Alaska time.
