Just a quick view on GIMP 2.6 - and a new video format (16:9) for “Meet the GIMP!”. Do you like it? There is a poll on the sidebar….
If you have any problems viewing this on your device, please write a comment here. I would love to have more screen estate, but if this collides with your viewing I’ll stick to the old format.
You find the relese notes for GIMP 2.6 at http://gimp.org/release-notes/gimp-2.6.html.
I thought it would be to- morrow - but I checked and it’s exactly one year ago today that I published the first video.
And for cele- brations i have set up a forum for the dis- cussions that are now hidden in the comments. Let’s try out if this works - I can always close it. 
I think we should keep the discussion about specifics of an episode in the comments and do all the other stuff in the forum.
There is an additional board hidden from guests and normal users, where I’ll plan the episodes.
And of course, if you write something brilliant, I’ll steal it for the show or the blog.
Let’s try this - open for any comment, question and so on. Basic rules of human interaction apply.
Oh, an addition: I’ll steal the interesting parts….
This comment suggested a posting from time to time where you can post any comments, without being bound to the topic of the show or posting. I like the idea. But I can also set up a forum - not that much work and I would hope for some of the interested people to step in as a moderator.
What do you think?
(Comments are closed - this was too attractive for spammers!)
Here you see 50GB going through the pipes. That would be a line to have at home…..
The next show will be released from the new server and not from the reliable podzilla.de machine. Marcin has implemented some safeguards - but who knows.
For you it’s business as usual. If the load is to high for this server I’ll switch the load back to podzilla. Everything is prepared for the worst case this time…..
Just a number to get an impression of the load: on the two days following the show release about 160 Gigabytes are pumped into the net. Let’s see how well the new pump works.
EDIT: 1:15h and 240 downloads after publication: Made a test download and got 800kB/s! WHOW!
This is the new Meet the GIMP! Server. And your DNS has served the right address.
There is still some stuff to do and I have the grades and a one week class trip in front of me. So no new videos in the next two weeks - expect one at June 17, 1700 GMT.
No 47 is out there, but the posting with all the nice comments is lost. The server was shut down one day too early - 6 hours before I wanted to do my final backup. So I’ll try to recreate the posting with the right link for the feed.
The feed will stay static on Marcin’s server until I produce a new video and the last DNS in the world has noticed the change. 48 hours - pft!
This server will be cut off the grid on Saturday. Nothing I can do about it.
But I am working with Marcin at a really stable solution. It will take some time but I’ll be back with new videos in some weeks.

In the “About me and this site” page I wrote
There will be no commercials or other advertisements on the show or the blog. Unpaid exceptions only for humanitarian stuff or Open Source projects. People who are supporting the show (e.g. 23 with sponsoring the challenges or the people below) get mentioned and linked.
but now I am not sure if that has to be that way with the blog. The video will stay free of all ads.
