Hump day! Yuck, I think I officially hate every day of the week except days I get money on which is always the fifteen and the last day of the month, fortunately – Friday is the fifteenth so it is a double whammy for goodness. So I’ve been talking about doing an IP TV project for quite some time, and now I’ve finally decided I am going to take the plunge and do it. First thing’s first though, I need to figure out a way to host it – so, if anyone reads this (well, lots of anyones are here but none of you talk) – I implore you, if you know of any reasonably priced dedicated server providers please comment with a URL so I can get that set up. The first flagship that I want to try to get going is a reincarnation of the TechTV shows The Screen Savers/Call For Help. Basically I want the entire venture to be community fueled, so what this will entail will be collecting users who have tech questions, comments, problems and opinions in to one place and then have a forum for discussion. From that we will derive a vidcast which will likely be a weekly thing which will hit on some of the best questions asked during the week, user suggestions for coverage, reviews on new software and product… it should be a Petri dish of tech. It sounds nerdy, but in reality it would appeal to a big group of people just like the old TechTV shows did. The spin is that this will have a lot more interaction and be a lot more of giving the people what they want. Also if you are techy and in the Western New York area, or anywhere really and I do not know you introduce yourself. People who know about tech gadgets like digital cameras, mp3 players and so on; software; programming; Linux; Mac; windows; in depth internet knowledge; security – there are tons of things that can be listed. Anyway, well see what happens. Freely comment on anything you wish though even if it is completely not related to this post at all.
