WWTBAM Bored

Well, I'll just have to wait and see if I get the email about my air date any time soon. I have no evidence other than my woman's intuition that it's going to air during the last 2 weeks of March when I'm waaaay out of the country. They were really accommodating when I was in Japan around the time I was supposed to tape, so I would hope they would try to help a sister out. At this rate of radio silence from the WWTBAM people, I'm beginning to doubt that I even was on the show and it was just an elaborate Ambien-fueled jet lag dream.

lol - I remember that feeling! Getting the check was a nice "pinch me" moment. I really hope you can get this worked out! Looking forward to seeing your show(s).

Glad to hear Millionaire is continuing new episodes in mid-to-late March. They used to air repeats during March Madness.

Henrix77 is correct. I got an email around 4:30EST Monday, and had to reply letting them know I received it. Recognized his name on there didn't want to break any news on his behalf!

I can do both easily. I checked and the shows are still unprotected.

I'll create them in MP4 format which should work on any platform.

Bob, if the offer still stands, I'd be deeply appreciative. The dates are tomorrow and Friday. Thanks again!

Yep, my TiVo is all warmed up. It's recording today's show right now.

I posted the transcripts for the first half of Friday's show. The end was preempted by a special news report.

I'll post a link to the whole show this weekend when I'm done editing it.

Thanks again for doing this Bob. As jarnon said, Trump interrupted the Philly market's broadcast. There's another slot at 1:07AM that I hope to catch, but knowing you have a video is a huge huge relief.

Andrew, my whole episode in 2013 was preempted by an Obama news conference. I called the nice folks at 6ABC and they broadcast it the following day. If you ask them, they may show today's episode again in the second time slot, instead of a rerun of Second Chance Week.

This week has been posted:



Now I can finish Andrew's transcript.

I struggled all afternoon to convert the last three day's shows from TiVo's format to MP4. My usual video converter blew up after doing 100% conversion and left the files unreadable. I tried three other free ones; none worked. I finally paid $100 for one that worked very well in converting but I then had to pass them through my usual converter to make MP4 format instead of MP2 with a codec that most computers wouldn't have.

So finally I'm able to upload them to my website but since they're around 2GB each it is taking a while.

I have a BBQ to go to but will create a page pointing to the videos tomorrow.

These are full HD format and look great on a TV. You'll be able to download them to keep.

Ugh! I'm so sorry you've had those issues, particularly when just trying to help!

Not a big deal. I need to have working tools for other projects.

GoDaddy's FTP crapped out while I left it running when I went out. I'm now using WS-TFTP.

Okay, I had more fun building a webpage pointing at the videos. Microsoft Expression Web has decided to crash when making a simple webpage.

So I used a tool to build a new website with just an ugly page that links to the videos:

Got the email last night and my episode will be airing May 30th!

Almost a full year after I had my audition... but better late than never!
