Hi Joanna,
The server where the video sits right now is not the same as during the event, so its bandwidth is not as good. Many people are still watching the video at the same time, which is why it is not really smooth. We do not have the means to do better, unfortunately…

Hello everyone,
I’m so glad you’re keeping everyone updated on what’s happening with your colossal squid. I wish I could have watched te live-feed, but I’m in the northern hem. the re-transmission isn’t working. I’m sure you’ll get it though.

Yes, the talks will be available, probably next week (we have a few meetings to attend today… we can’t forget about the rest of the museum )

Hi Everyone,

Just to say I watched (nearly) all your webcast (stayed up till 6 a.m.) and taped a lot of it for my son & daughter-in-law, but the record quality is CR*P! Is there any chance of the talks being put up as downloadeable MP3s? That and some extra stills would be wonderful even if you can’t get the webcast repeat working.

Many thanks,
Mark T.

You guys are just the best! And thank you so very much for all of your efforts to get the recording up, for those of us who TRIED so hard not to miss a moment! But who, of course, so miserably failed, such as myself, who grew so rather fond of you and OUR giant, for indeed she is a gift to us all, is she not?

Surely we all know and understand how busy you are, so patience isn’t beyond us. But I would like to ask of the possibility of the entirety being offered on DVD, and for which the vast majority of us would gladly pay. What do you think? Is it at all possible, at some time in the future? And too, will you be posting the specifics of what research will be conducted on the Colossal? It would be interesting to know this.

Again, with utmost gratitude and many a blessing upon you,

Dakota
