Every other post.
The show was rejected from Slashdot. This is good news actually, as it means I dont have to worry about bandwidth constraints and the bittorrent idea is no longer a necessity. I want to thank everyone who seeded 🙂
I’m still working on a DVD ISO. Just need to sync the audio right to the video; create more imagery; and I’ll be done.
Other good news: got a B in Math. Considering I had %40 throughout the year, this is most excellent news (I nailed the exam).
I’ve had 10GB in bandwidth used up for the EYNTO Show in its first day! That’s very good: Its equivalent to 45 people downloading the Show! However; I have a limit of 100GB, and GoDaddy will literally bankrupt me if I go over by even a small amount.
So I’ve implemented a PHP script that tracks the downloads and makes sure I don’t exceed my allocated traffic. Meanwhile, thanks to the help of an individual from another forum, I was able to get a 2nd mirror up. I’m now FXPing the files to Archive.org.
I’m also hosting a bittorrent tracker. I see three seeders on it right now. Whoever you are: thank you. I know there’s little traffic now, but if ever this gets slashdotted or the like, it’ll really pay off. Thanks.

I have many reasons to be happy. The EYNTO Show is complete in one form or another. I’m going to a conference tomorrow and Saturday [BSDCan2k5]. I’m appearing on Underfire Radio Saturday. I found out that I got an A- for my GIS class (Geography Information Systems).
Annnd I got a job! Not only that, but a frickin’ dream job! I’ll be a tour guide for a local tour boat company. I learned that today. This day could not be better.
Update: Weeell maybe not so nice: I have a bandwidth cap of 100GB. It sounds like alot, but keep in mind that the show is 220MB. I’ve just contacted GoDaddy: if that cap is exceeded, I will have to pay a hefty amount. $6 per additional Gig. So if I go over by 100GB, I’ll have to pay $600. Despite the fact that they charge $10 for 100GB of bandwidth.
I’m thinking of using a PHP script to maintain the control of where the show is spread in my hands.
I noticed while I was watching the finished and rendered stuff that some chapters were clipped by 3 seconds at the end. Enough to cut off the ends of the last sentences.
Therefore I’m uploading the show now, but will rerender a new one today without this glitch.
Update: The glitch is inherent to Premiere: It simply cuts out the last 2 seconds of audio from every clip. Therefore I re-recorded myself saying those last few words in each chapter. Also made a little change to the credits.
The EYNTO Show is DONE! Rendering now!
Its been 15 straight hours of work today. But worth it.
