Is the next episode coming Soon(TM)?

If it is uploaded today that means a SpaceX launch, Devnotes, AND Alexandria all within 24 hours of each other

Splashdown. All video now captured.

@Felbourn, you really need to get yourself some sleeps. Stop recording at 2AM! We like Alexandria, but you shouldn't wear yourself out.

[Brainpop14]

Nice work Bob! But you really should take it easy. You gotta pace yourself too. Still, I can hardly wait for the Apollo 11 video. I hope the rest of 1969 will be just as awesome.

[Felbourn]

Dman must be east coast?   I'm west coast. It was 11 pm not 2 am.  That is not to say I have never been up at 2 am playing Kerbal though. And 3 am. And 4 am. And...

[Torgo]

Don't forget to mention the most important thing that happened on July 16, 1969.

I was born, about 15 minutes prior to liftoff.

@Torgo

That's actually pretty sweet. But you've also told me your birthday and birth-year. Care to go for the trifecta and give me your SSN?

CXLVII

[Felbourn]

That's just 3 digits. A SSN has 9. I think you're trying to trick us.

Nah, I'm just old. My social security card is a clay tablet.

Not if you were born in 1969!

I was born in 1969 as well (a few months before launch) so I know what you mean. My SSN was written in Cuneiform.

Oh come on...

It's 10:30 PM where I live. Universe hates me confirmed.

But then again, an hour of Alexandria? Sign me up!

[Felbourn]

3 edits to make and then I'll re-bake it

Release will definitely be Monday, though, on schedule

[Brainpop14]

Nice! I'm so excited! I bet you showed the entire RSS launch for it to be that long. Anyway, nice work! You have great dedication Bob. I hope the rest of 1969 will be just as good.

[Felbourn]

After re-baking two release candidates, I think I have the gold master.

Yay!  I'm excited!

Here's a thought I had... MAYBE I could post a copy here, letting forum fans see it now, and you could look for fixable errors, before the public gets it and throws any errors in my face. This is a special case after all... I normally would not do this but Apollo 11... you know!? Then before Monday I would upload a second and final copy that gets released publicly... ??

I'd say do that, but it's your decision.

I'll start drafting the Non-Disclosure Agreements and other relevant legal documentation...  shouldn't take more than a day or two.

[Felbourn]

nevermind... THREE copyright claims by YouTube, and none of them are what they think it is, but now I need to file three separate disputes before I could get it published anyway

Yikes.  Sorry, I thought I was being funny with the legal quip.

I see now that I was not.  Good luck with the runaround...

[Felbourn]

F___ YouTube's stupid copyright automation and policies.

/sigh

I hope I can release it Monday, but I would not hold my breath. At this point, if I show the pre-release and then submit it a second time, I'll need to do the three copyright disputes a second time too. I don't think I want to do that.
