this dude is a serious motherfucking tough guy. a pen knife? shit – maybe with a machete…
last night, after hours, i got pulled into a meeting with our programming division. Live from Lincoln Center is going to be half web cast this year. last month’s barn on fire was setting up a streaming server so we could serve flash video for our podcasts. now, i need to figure out live media stream from satellite/fiber feed, potentially how to get a feed back from captioning (if that is happening) and do a scalar load test of our deployment page (which isn’t written yet).
best info suggests 4-5 million watch this over a week. operating on a 2-3% conversion ratio, we should only be about 300% over potential capacity when this thing launches.
i spent all morning in contract negs with PBS. the funny thing is, i’ve got to get this thing off the ground, and it wouldn’t surprise me at all if i get 0 cred on the front end. it is a huge project visibility wise though, one which could definitely catapult me in the direction(s) i want, if i can make it happen.
in preparation for what will likely be another hellish month, i’m going to have a liquid lunch.
