A Face Made For Email, Part Two

One year ago this week I was the Channel Nine guinea pig -- I'm still not sure why, but for some reason The Scobelizer and his cohort chose me to be the first guy interviewed for their project. (Probably because I'm mostly harmless.)

Channel Nine has succeeded tremendously, and I'm very pleased to have been a part of it at its birth. Recently Charles and Robert tracked me down and cornered me in a room with a really big XBOX screen to talk about Visual Studio Tools For Office and how we use .NET code access security.

If you've got 53 minutes to kill and you want to hear me ramble on about what I love to talk about most, check it out.

I had a chance to watch the video this afternoon. The beginning was a little awkward but you were really rolling once you got up to the whiteboard. It looked like you got a lot more comfortable once the topic shifted from customers using the product to code security. There really wasn't that much material about VSTO though which was disappointing.

I also wish they had better camera work for these movies. Most of the time it was focused up your nose or on your shirt. I ended up just listening to the audio for the most part.

You are not the only person who has given me that feedback. I'll pass it on to the Scobelizer. Thanks!

I just now -- like 30 seconds ago -- ran into the Scobelizer on his way between video shoots. I mentioned the idea of audio-only feeds to him and he said that many people had suggested that to him, that he thought it was a good idea, and that he simply has no time to add more features. They are looking at hiring more staff, and if they do, they'll consider this one.

Neat, thanks. I went through a big chunk of the Channel 9 archives last weekend and probably half I would have taken an audio only option.
