Production Notes, Easter Egg Hunt and More

December 29, 2005

Production Notes:
Episode 6 is on a roll. We took some time off to attend the TechTV Holiday Meetup, do the festive holiday stuff, and give the set and graphics a face lift, but with these last few days we’re cranking out segments left and right. I’m sure the image below will leave you wondering for a few days.


Try saying Cadmium Sulfide five times fast

We’re really excited about this next release; we’ve put a lot of work into each segment as well as the set and graphics.

Easter Egg Hunt Update:
As promised I’m giving everyone who is playing the Easter egg hunt from episode 5 a heads up on the next round. The final round of the hunt will be at 5:00 AM GMT on January 1st, 2006. Yes that’s just as the ball finishes its descent at time square in NYC. Don’t worry, there is only one final question to the hunt and I doubt the extra special holiday eggnog will affect your chances of winning. Incase you have no idea what I’m talking about head over to the episode 5 Easter egg hunt page and watch the video. Winner will be announced on episode 6.

Server Update:
As you are probably all aware for the last few months we have been using our account with filefarmer as our primary direct download spot. While we’ve been happy with filefarmer’s service nothing can make ten thousand downloads fit through a ten megabit pipe in one day. Thankfully we’ve just purchased a dedicated server on a 100mbit connection which should handle the heavy load we receive for the first week and a half of the month. This also means that shortly we will be up on iTunes with a brand new RSS feed. Thank you to everyone who has generously donated and helped us make this important next step.

I wish everyone a safe and happy new year and we’ll see you, hopefully with much faster downloads, on the 5th of January in 2006.

–Darren

    So, I finished the hunt (a bit late, however), though how will we know who wins? Is it first to win, or a random selection of those who completed it?
