I finally concluded my video course production this month, and a few days later it went live at TrainSignal’s site. They are marketing it along with an interview they did with me. I’ve enjoyed working with them.
It was hard work, but it felt good to create something like this. Much the same as writing a book, as far as the process went, although once you’ve finished a video, you can’t really add to it, only subtract, so in that sense it’s different than writing. To make up for that, each video went longer than I’d originally projected they’d be. A 35-minute topic turned into 60, a d 50-minute topic into 70. And that’s how it should be, as the goal was to give whatever I had: and this is not a magazine, encumbered by word-count.
When am I gonna write my sci-fi novel? At this point, when a publisher approaches me and offers to pay me to…

Congratulations David! I know it’s been a lot of work putting those videoes together. I’m glad you got the project all completed!

Whew! Yes, congratulations! Sounds like a long project with a satisfactory outcome! I hope they gave you a lot of money!

Hey, very nice! I found your video and sent it along to relevant parties in our cube farm, but without any indication that you are the artist behind the art.
I believe Exch2007 is something we are still headed for, but not sure of the exact time frame…

Congrats on finishing that huge project! I read the interview. Very interesting to hear more about what you do.

David, this was so interesting! After reading the interview I clicked to watch a preview of the video and it was pretty fun to watch what looks like your ghost of a hand pushing the courser around, clicking things, highlighting things, etc. I didn’t end up finishing the installation because I don’t think I’ll need it, but I enjoyed seeing your professional side. You love challenges and you love to help people, and these two things provide lots of energy for your work! Nice.

Nice interview, Shack. Really nice video.
I was the system administrator of my Apple IIGS but that was a lot easier than what you’re doing now since the Apple didn’t have a modem. Heck, it didn’t have a harddrive.

Conratulations, friend! Wow. I read the interview and enjoyed it very much, though it was a lot of Greek to me. You’ve always been a fascinating person, and it’s great to see you succeeding in your tech field.
