Emacs Chat: Oh no, my chat with Bodil Stokke didn't get recorded!

| emacs

Camtasia said it was recording the whole thing, and then when I went to edit it, I found that I only had the first 9 minutes. Extracting the .camrec didn't get me any additional data. Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo! That's what I get for doing an interview without two recording systems. Normally I use Google Hangout On Air's built-in recording and Camtasia Studio as a backup, but since I was using appear.in, I only had Camtasia Studio running.

And it was a cool demo/discussion of Flycheck with Haskell (including better ways to do things), Tern, js2-mode, smartparens, tagedit, the XWidgets branch and running Reveal.js presentations inside Emacs, styling tips (Powerline, Nyancat, font-locking), the Emacs Lisp Reference…

We might be able to reschedule after I crawl out from under a rock and also hammer a solid backup screen recording strategy in place, although Bodil mentioned she's open to using Google Hangout on Air even though it uses some proprietary plugins.

Argh. Bodil, I'm so sorry!

Oh noes! I was really looking forward to this chat. I think Bodil is a very interesting person and was looking forward to seeing your chat with her. I hope you can reschedule.

In the meantime, don't worry about the snafus. As you know, stuff happens with tech and always in the most inconvenient way.

Hi Sacha - I'm so sorry Camtasia let you down. Can I connect you with our support staff so they can take a look at what's going on with your machine and see if there's a fix? https://support.techsmith.c... We want Camtasia to be 100% reliable!
