  1. definitely interested in those two floors. let me know if they're still available! mike.knoll at sunmedia.ca
  2. MK

    MK?

    this thread sucks.
  3. 3 of us put in for all three nights of Atlantic City. All 3 were shut out. 1 did get two for Utica as a consolation though.
  4. Esteemed London Free Press colleague Randy Richmond is looking to write an article on grow-ops and is quite interested in looking at it from the side of the proprietor...a note from Randy: if anyone wants their voice heard or their story told, email randy.richmond@sunmedia.ca
  5. Looking forward to Friday night's show in London. I talked to Bryan Webb on the phone yesterday for a bit. The conversation didn't get very far before his cell died...turned what I got into a podcast: check it out here not much of interest unless you're from London.

  7. maybe someone will find it interesting that we had 2694 unique views of that stream. take from that what you will as newspapers transition to modernity. imagine if tv stations could actually count their viewers.
  8. some of you may remember lfpress.com's rooftop Beatles show tribute and the disaster of a live stream we tried to pull off...we've had a few chances to redeem our streaming ability and right now we are trying it again...this one is much less technically demanding. Beatles-mad London is marking the 40th anniversary of John and Yoko's bed-in...a couple folks are currently bedding-in and we dropped a Mac Book at the end of their bed. fun fun fun. check it out: bed-in live stream
  9. perhaps this was mentioned on here already...I listened to it last night and think it's pretty boring. download the Victor Disc
  10. I don't think you need to open quicktime on your computer to watch the file...just trust that it's the same as the original file and send it on to your doctor if its small enough to email. or burn it onto a disc and mail it to him.
  11. try using mpeg streamclip and converting whatever file type you're trying to send to a quicktime .mov file. how big is the file? do you have ftp access?

    Grammys

    I thought Kid Rock was great! he's become quite the american entertainer...about halfway through his medley I said that I would love to see him live. Radiohead thumped some serious ass too.
  13. actually, after the ibook succumbed to suckness, I rushed down to the coffee shop below and grabbed a PC from someone there. the cable from the camera had a firewire output and the newish PC didn't have an input for it. my boss from work had to rush down the Mac Book Pro from his office - with minutes to spare...quite a rush as we were on schedule for the figurative minute.
  14. thanks AlphaNerd...I just threw together a video for our website with good audio...I'm mixing up aspect ratios but I think it came out real good:
  15. ugh - what a logistical nightmare. I got down there at 10:30 and my ibook crapped out...I had a MBP brought down and got the stream working about one minute before they started. I missed the soundcheck and totally fucked up the sound on the feed. sorry to those who had to listen to that shit feed. I had a good mix out of the soundboard and tried to balance it with the camera mic...turns out my issues were with ustream and the volume output there...the VU meters in the software were barely blipping so I maxed it...all the feedback I was getting to my bberry through the show was massively negative on the sound. the soundman and I were working our asses of to redeem it but I didn't think of the volume output on ustream until the last song. if the ibook didn't suck shit, I would have had it tweaked perfectly for the show...I recorded it and it sounds awesome. that stream was a disaster in my books. however, on a positive note, we conceived and pulled off a massive idea and about two thousand people showed up on a Friday afternoon. thanks for the feedback all...we'll get 'em next time.
  16. yeah schwa I'm on camera...it's pretty sloppy in that one...Reaney refuses to do more than one take so it's all improv - the lighting sucks ass too, but hey, we're building a TV station from scratch here...you gotta start somewhere. I don't think letting the cat out of the bag on the rooftop thing taints the authenticity too much...there were insiders that knew it was going to happen, no?
  17. yup London Ontario...interestingly the original concert was in London England...so the concert is figuratively "to the minute." Bouche, as far as a link goes, it will be all over our home page on Friday...www.lfpress.com. Yuri Pool is the "McCartney" and he has lived all over the world paying tribute to the fab four...lucky for us he is in London now. If this embed works, here he is joining James Reaney and I in this wasteland of a newsroom previous to his Harrison tribute:
  18. this might be of interest to a few folks on here... On Friday at noon, London's top Beatles cover band will be recreating the rooftop concert that was to be the Beatles final live performance - 40 years to the minute from the original. I work at the London Free Press and we plan on streaming the whole thing live online. Check out www.lfpress.com on Friday at noon - these guys are good! Not to mention the fact that I've been busting my ass on the logistics of the whole thing...including a conference call that just ended with sunmedia copyright lawyers finally giving me the green light (they decided that it does in fact qualify as a news event.) I will gratuitously bump this on Friday.
  19. I use this: mpeg streamclip
  20. There were some exciting moments where a charity show almost happened - but now, according to Live Nation, both acts will be playing at the JLC December 15.
  21. Hi...I work at the London Free Press and since the Oasis show tonight was cancelled, we are looking to get in touch with a few people who had tickets for the show to get reaction and whatnot. If you want to be quoted in the newspaper...you can call entertainment editor Howard Burns at (519)667-4562.
