Scene 1:

Poor Dave trips up in a USB cable, and knocks a glass of water over his
wife's Notebook computer.

08:10 he is back into it now.

Nope, gone down about 08:15 Aust EST
I guess he was using the same notebook for the video blog.

What are the odds of that, frigg'n hilarious!
Yes, spilled water over the eeePC doing the live feed!
EPIC FAIL!
It ran for about 5 minutes with the water and then just died completely.
Tried to dry it out and get back on air, but it just wouldn't even turn on.
Remembered I still had my old crusty webcam so dug it out and got on with
the show on the desktop in the study.

Hard drive data is ok.

Great fun!

Dave.

Cubeee the eeePC has risen from the ashes. I'm out of the dog house.

OK Great Dave,

I felt it was the one I talked you into from "catch of the day".

And I knew where to get cheap keyboards, as I got one posted at about
$18.55AUD from honkers, so I was waiting to see how you got on. But when
you said there was water on top of the drive, I thought the motherboard
etc., would be fried.

It made for an interesting live video blog.

Cheers Don...

OK Great Dave,

Yep, that's the one.

It made for an interesting live video blog.

It did indeed.
After downloading the recorded footage from Ustream it's pretty obvious the
eeePC and/or the wireless connection was simply not up to the task. It was
almost unwatchable, the video would drop out for 10's of seconds at a time.
The second part which used my desktop directly connected to the net didn't
drop any visible frames that I could see in 51 minutes of recording, and
that was using my ancient webcam.

So it was an interesting trial. More experiments and different hardware
required before trying again.

Dave.
