Great video... little wordy but good show.    

Thanks, Michael. I'm a historian and a writer along with my interest in technology -- Linux especially. After four years of college, I'm so good at (and used to) 'BS'ing essays and papers that I do it all the time! Seriously, though, historians make money by making people listen to them, and one thing I've learned in my few short trips around the block, both in history, writing, and as a sys admin and technician: people often don't get it the first time you tell it, the way you tell it, so you tell it several times, different ways, and hope it clicks!

I know the IT world is a little more 'straight-and-to-the-point' than that, and I apologize for forcing you to endure all of that rambling!  I'm glad you were able to look past that and appreciate the 'spirit' of the video all the same.

He's mine, you guys back off.. I'm stealing him!

You interested in doing content for our youtube GNOME channel?   You sound a perfect fit for doing that kind of thing.. maybe sort of video reviews of applications and what not?  Please join us in the gnome journal mailing list (and maybe marketing too!)

 

I was just wondering, anyone seen any videos of how "BAD" gnome 3 is?   With all the talk about how the lack of a menu makes gnome 3 broken... I'd love to see that video showing how inefficient it is to just type your selection -- which in my opinion was a great feature of Window 7 and KDE, glad to see it in gnome 3 --   Or anything for that matter.

I'm just curious to see the flip side.

Probably the most critical screencast about Gnome 3 that I've seen so far is this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zx1K7rxbZZ0  It's not excessively critical, but it certainly comes from a user who's a bit disappointed with change.  Other than that, I haven't seen anything extraordinarily negative to this point.

Thanks for the pointer, maybe I'll check it out..
