Stack Underflow

19 07 06 - 19:06 Filmed the first bit of Stack Underflow yesterday. - Brett came round for the day. Filmed an entire hour of footage, cut it down to 5 minutes.

Got angry again at camera. After having many parts replaced, the tape noise in the recordings is slightly better. The camera's autofocus still seems to be worked by a person with some kind of mental disorder - it randomly loses focus, and keeps refocusing for no reason.

What have I learnt?

• Having more of an idea about what we're going to say (maybe not a complete word-for-word script, but just more planning) would be good.
• Use vnc2swf or similar, and record the screen image.
• Use manual focus while filming nearby objects, because the camera's autofocus is complete garbage.
• I think we need to invest in an external microphone. Haven't got money to spend on that yet unfortunately. Sound is passable now, but could be better.
• A nmap scan of microsoft.com takes too long. Stupid slow windows servers :). I'll save you the trouble: there are two open ports - 80 and 443.
