I have begun a new pretty ambitious project. I am retrofitting an old wooden granary into my working studio. I am not entirely sure, but I believe it was built in the 1970s, but possibly earlier.

I am always looking to improve the quality and experience of the vidcasts I produce. I am happy to make a quick announcement that I have made the fast start ability function work. This means that you don’t have to download the entire video file before playing. This is pretty crucial with files that are in the 40+Mb and 8-10min range. Even I am not patient to wait for that load!
So on that note, happy viewing!
