    Well I’m excited. I think I’ll go over to the Smugmug gallery and see what is presently in stock so I can dream about having the winning entry. :)

      It’s a fantastic prize, undoubtedly – I can’t watch live, unfortunately, (it’ll be 1am in the uk!) but good luck everyone!

  • ArtJourney

    Just created a DQ account ready to play in chat later, does it work on the iPad?

      As far as I know, Disqus comments should work just as well on a mobile device as they do on the website, live updating and all.

    Watching live but can’t log in. Not sure why. I guess I’m socially challenged on the Internet as well as in real life. Argh!

    • ianmedium

      Still getting used to this format Melissa, i can see your message so I think your logged in! Thank goodness there is another out there that has a hard time with these things!

      • melissa59

        Thanks, Ian. I didn’t even realize that this was supposed to be the chat area. I totally ignored it and was paying attention to the other chat box on this page.

        • ianmedium

          I know Melissa. I was getting cross eyed at not only looking at this but at the old style chat and the show.. Will watch the show again today as i missed so much just trying to keep up with the comments!

        Hey Dan, what is the green MOD sign next to your name, i had it for a while

        • http://fpgeeks.com/ Dan Smith

          it meas I’m a moderator. There’s been some bugs with that that Disqus knows of.

      • ianmedium

        Oh, its come back, still have it!

      • ianmedium

        ??

  • http://theinkednib.com/ Lee Smallwood

    EDISON RULES! THANKS VERY MUCH TO BRIAN GRAY!!!!!!!

  • http://www.facebook.com/will.platt.39 Will Platt

    Congrats, Jotterius!!!!

  • melissa59

    I think I am confused. This posting system is where we were supposed to be logged in? Not the discussion box next to the video? Someone else said that was still the old UStream format. Are we not using that one anymore? Or are we going to use both? If both, then it’ll be scrolling down to see the messages instead of seeing the video. Hmmm…

  • http://monkeyphotomcr.blogspot.com/ John_the_Monkey

    Congrats Jotterius! Looking forward to watching this one!

    Edit: The Omas Roma, I’ve seen combined Flax/Resin composite in use on bikes – e.g. http://www.veloconsports.com/museeuw-bikes/ there it’s supposed to give the frame flexibility, along with the lightness from the carbon fibre. Maybe it’d be better in the nib…? ;)
