LiveCode.tv Event #44 Wrap-up

[Mark Schonewille]

Dear LiveCoders,

Before I wrap up the latest LiveCode.tv event, I have a sad announcement to make. Even though we optimistically checked out which system we might use for the next broadcasting, it looks like we've had our last event. As far as I know there is no one who wants to do another presentation.

If you don't want it to end, then contact us. Write to m.schonewille at economy-x-talk.com or bvg at mac.com or click here http://qery.us/du to send a message.

Last Saturday, 19 November, Björnke showed us how streaming with Justin.tv works, in comparison to Ustream.tv. Keep reading to find out what the conclusions are.

You can find Björnke's videos at http://qery.us/1cz and
