No Show Today
I just did a great interview with Ben Page from Pastos Verdes Farm on Finding Wellness in a Hectic World. It was a great interview.
Well my recording program, dumped the file right at the end of it. This has actually never happened before. The file is there but only 70kb in size with a few seconds of silence.
I checked the temp folder and there is nothing their either. The file simply rendered out as a tiny fraction of what should be there. I have been using Athtek Skype Recorder for several years and this has never occurred before.
I run a test recording before every call and that went fine. I made another test after the interview was lost and that also went fine. I am at a loss as to what happened. TSP will return tomorrow.
Perhaps choose one of Ben’s Podcasts to listen to today, you can find them at http://pastosverdesfarm.libsyn.com/
Well hell, I guess I will go have an aged sour mash corn tincture to help with the depression.
Hang in there kiddo! We don’t expect perfection, you are only human!!
The three word sentence: “No show today” is one of my least favorites, right after “I am pregnant.”
Ain’t modern technology just great. Well yes sometimes it is and sometimes it really stinks. Your shows do help educate us and keep us moving this freight down the highway and dreaming of our farm stead we are going to try and do when we quit driving over the road. In less than 3 years. Better luck next time.
Tech is great when it works. I know, old, crappy cliche but it’s true.
I hope you recover the file or get to do the interview again. Sounds like an excellent topic.
Guess that 10,000 hours thing may not be true after all. Just kidding, Sh*t happens.
What no back up? What happened to 2 is 1 and and 1 is none?
Just kidding. We’ll just have to deal with it. Maybe I’ll watch Fox news instead, agh!
Jack we understand. Thanks for all you do and no worries. It’s just a fact of life that some days the bear wins.
calling in on 4-20… CLASSIC.
Ha I didn’t even know that was a thing till it popped up on FB yesterday.
Maybe ask your video guy about a mixing board? It seems to me that it should be possible to run your speaker out and mic in for the PC running skype through a mixing board, and then have an combined out that could be plugged directly into another recording device, like your other computer or an MP3 player.
That’s a real donkey. I work in tech, and believe me, it happens, and has happened enough to leverage redundancy in every recording stage. Add a Zoom recorder, record at 96kHz, and you’ll have a week of recording time on an 8gb SD card. Clear it off when you know your HDD version is tight. One last thing Jack, a huge ongoing congratulations for the eternally amazing job you’re doing, and simply winning at life!!!
