File is 1.8 MB, h.264 encode in an mp4 wrapper. Posting at<br>
additional host sites welcome - just let the list know where<br>
you make it available and I'll also add the URL to the<br>
ALE web page notice. Don't know if I'll get around to<br>
posting this to a torrent, but if someone wants to explore<br>
that adventure I can recommend LinuxTracker.org<br>
<br>
Thanks again for the patience of everyone who attended<br>
the meeting and sat through my 30 minute demonstration<br>
of setting up all the A/V connections and components<br>
needed for a small TV studio.<br>
<br>
There was a little 60 cycle hum in the video, but outside<br>
of that it's pretty clean and readable. A caution that the<br>
audio came through very loud. I'll make an effort to<br>
squash those bugs for next time.<br>
<br>
Sorry about the occasional buzzy digital noise in the<br>
sound track, but someone nearby in the building was<br>
apparently using a CrackBerry, and these are notorious<br>
for ignoring the valuable FCC regs so that they spew<br>
out-of-band digital RF puke that bleeds into all other<br>
electronic devices in the immediate area (like AV gear).<br>
<br>
Last note is that for anyone interested in the history<br>
and mathematics of gpg / pgp / public key encryption,<br>
our most senior ALE member, Zeb Morgan, is a fan<br>
of such things and forwarded this link:<br>
<<a href="http://www.livinginternet.com/i/is_crypt_pkc_inv.htm" target="_blank">http://www.livinginternet.com/i/is_crypt_pkc_inv.htm</a>><br>
The page mentions the 1977 Scientific American / Martin<br>
Gardner "Mathematical Games" column that Zeb and<br>
I recalled as the flint that first sparked our interest in<br>
the public key enigma. Though Zeb was unable to<br>
locate the hard copy he thought he had on file and<br>
web searches didn't turn up an archived copy, I did<br>
find some interesting branches on Wikipedia:<br>
