Well, Revver is still unavailable. I’ve changed over the low resolution feed so that it no longer points to Revver.  This means regardless of which feed you are subscribed to in iTunes, you will now get the new high resolution version. 

This also means that only the 3 most recent episodes are available in the feed. If/When Revver comes back up, I’ll download all the old videos and make them available on this site. If not, then I’ll put them up when I have access to them, in about two weeks (I’m 5,000 miles away from them right now). 

Also, Revver, you still owe me $6 in advertising revenue. Thanks. 

I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. I hope you all enjoy the new high resolution videos.

If you subscribe to the low resolution feed, I’d like to aplogoize because you haven’t recieved the most recent (soon the 2 most recent) episode. Revver is the hosting provider I use for this feed and they went down for maintinence over 24 hours ago. I had submitted the video the day before that, but it failed transcoding.

There is some speculation (as it seems there always is when revver goes down) as to wether they’ve completley gone under. Assuming the web site does come back up, it takes at least 1 full day for me to submit a video and have it live, this means in a best case scenario you will see episode 14 on Monday (i’ve been trying to release new episodes on Wednesday).

If Revver doesn’t come back I’ll switch the feed over to the high resolution feed. It only starts at episode 12 so you won’t be able to go back and get older episodes, but over the next few weeks I should be able to get them uploaded to my current provider (libsyn).

Of course this problem can easily be avoided. Just subscribe to the HD version of the show which is now in 1024×178 and looks great. You can either go to itunes and search for teachmewp or just click here. And please, don’t forget to leave a review in the itunes store for the new HD feed.

Thanks as always, faithful viewer.

I’ve been doing some upgrading. The video is now in 1024×768 resolution, with no ad banners along the bottom. Quicktime is required to play this video, and it opens in a popup window so you’ll need to enable popups for this site to watch it. As soon as it’s available, I will post the link to the video in Revver, so if you really want to watch it the old, low resolution way you can.

Also, there is a new feed URL, feed://dholowiski.libsyn.com/rss to the high resolution videos. This feed will be in iTunes shortly. Enjoy!

I promised I would never apologize for putting out episodes late but here it is. In case you haven’t noticed there hasn’t been any episodes recently. I’ve been travelling the US for the last 4 months and it’s been tough to produce a video podcast, although I’ve come up with many new ideas, and recieved many great ideas from you the audience.
I really hope to release a new episode soon, but the reality is I probably won’t for the next two months. I have to be back in Canada by the beginning of march, so I do promise you a new episode early march. Until then, um, have fun?
