<p>Very cool. Ustream is a pretty awesome utility to promote and share.</p>

<p>was this whole beta tour on ustream archived..cant seem to find the whole tour, just the beginning where they are setting up</p>

<p>Unfortunately the recording function had to be turned off cause it was eating the computer <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

<p>Lets just say that it started off about as smooth as a really bumpy road that has been resurfaced in about 50 years <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>It got better as it went on though and the chat that went along side it made things bare-able. Not to mention naughty Kiara with her phone causing trouble all the time <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>Sort of thing that is worth tuning into if you can when it is being run, even if  it was 1 in the morning (GMT).</p>

[Savanja]

<p>Rough start yeah, but it was cool to see a public tour like that. I hope there are more in the future!</p>

<p>Theres a launch one two hours before servers up supposedly.</p>

[Kiara]

<p>Yes, there will be another Ustream even the morning of the 16th while the servers are down!</p><p>Some devs might even stop by to chat.  Fortunately, Brenlo won't be yelling at me to text him zone strings <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

Much easier to wake up to watch it than explain to your boss why you need to watch it instead of working <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>(Thus is the fate of those in Pacific time zone, we miss a lot of the Live stuff that's done during SOE's work hours, no matter if as close to the end of that business day..)</p>

I think he should find somebody who has a pet hamster, then bring it in, and pretend to be 'upgrading' the wheel - then show how well fed and how many treats the hamster gets for a good day's work.</p>
