Hey there. I’m Johnny Ming. Welcome to TGR - your weekly second glance at Second Life.
It's finally happened folks, Microsoft has dumped Vista, it’s new version of Windows into the marketplace. Purchasing a new machine with Vista preloaded is tantamount to Second Life suicide.
Not only does it not support Second Life - but reports indicate that graphically intensive applications like hearts, notepad and solitaire tend to crash regularly under Vista. This has forced jonesing Windows office-slackers to the degrading act of using actual playing cards.
We'll continue following the issues surrounding vista in the coming days...weeks, perhaps months, or years, possibly decades, or eons...
To help explain why the stock market will finally open after a grueling ten day freeze I’d like to introduce our Second Life choir singing THE BATTLE HYMN OF LUKECONNELL VENDERVERRE.
He was a high school drop-out and his name was Vanderverre.
He started the world stock exchange but it was a nightmare.
Cause the WSE account couldn’t cover the cost of shares.
Virtual finance is a bear!
But soon he ran out of money and had to get down on his knees.
Offering stock tickers and bank machines to try and appease.
Then he joined with the first exchange but everyone still agrees.
Virtual finance is a bear!
We’re here at the Anna Nicole Smith Memorial Garden in Dotoorak where we’d like to take a moment of silence to honor Anna Nicole’s memory.
Come on guys, I’m being serious. No, really, this isn’t funny. You guys are jerks. Anyway, that’s our show - we’ll see you next week on The Grid Review.
Goodbye Anna Nicole - though I never knew you at all...

Hi there Johnny. Hope the Sheep are threating you well and the shearing doesn't chafe too much ;)
Your main RSS feed link only shows embedded FLV files. Could you please add a link to a feed which contains podcast enclosures to to QuickTime version? (blip.tv should have one)
I added you to the video folder on secondlife.podcast.com , but no dice until I get the right feed.
Not everyone uses iTunes. ;p
This will also make it easier for people to play it in-world. There are quite a few RSS reading video screens out there.
Cheers!

Fantastic intro... Johnny, you're moving up my list of my favs, but Cory is still my favorite Sheep.

Hi again.
I notice your feed has the FLV in the enclosure and the QuickTime in the media:content extension. It would be better to have these the other way around imho.
Or provide two feed links - one with FLV and one with QuickTime
;)
Cheers!

Great podcast!
Don't know if anyone else had this issue or not, played fine in iTunes for me. But would not download to my video iPod, siad it was not a supported format.

Nice! You guys have a good show. I dig the pace and the floom zoom. Faces are looking good with the lip-synch. Nice work!
