vlog#1
I've finally managed to finish my first stab at a vlog, after getting bogged down in various technical mires over the weekend. It should work (I think) in Internet Explorer and Firefox - but i'll be interested to know whether it actually plays out there in the real world... let me know if you can.
Similarly, it's not properly streamed, but is coming direct from my site. Please do let me know if it doesn't work properly.
For those that know about such things its compressed into flv format using Riva Converted - I'd also be interested to know if there are better methods.
I did suggest in an earlier post that I'd be looking for some constructive criticism for these first stabs at video, but as Adrian Monck so rightly pointed out, that's consultancy. Which I probably can't afford.
So I'll settle for the unconstructive assassination. Go ahead, make my day.

Nice try! On my rural connection it was vlogus interruptus. Thoughts: You could try and shoot yourself from a more sympathetic angle...Art is old news, and a Channel 4 doco started with the same trick before he got there. But you're on the horse - so take a bow!

Congratulations Ian. Streamed and played just fine through both Safari and Firefox. Look forward to seeing some interesting graphics.

A great start. The Vlog worked well with no annoying pauses. I've never been a fan of standing-up news readers but it works well in this format.
I'm looking forward to the next one.

I think that's a pretty solid start, and there were no problems viewing the video in Firefox on a Mac.
You remind me a bit of the Tim Canterbury character in The Office...
