Is there really meant to be a thirty second advertisement at the start of the video?

  No, there isn't :(. I was trying to make a splash screen, and it ended up too long. Fair point.
  
  I'll shorten it considerably for the next screencast. Still learning the ways of screencasting...
  
  Thanks for the feedback.

  Oh...crap...there is an actual advertisement. I had no idea....I thought you meant the splash screen.
  
  That ad is (I think) inadvertant....fixing....(I hope)

    Nice :) In my case, it's an ad for a bank.. doesn't scream relevance ;)

      Nope....:)
      
      Ads were on by default on our blip.tv account. Have to re-up the bloody video to have it encoded without them.
      
      There it's up ad-free. Thanks for pointing that out.
      
      (My ad was for a cruise....btw)

Hi there, do you know if this works with Ruby 1.9.3?
Reply
- Glenn Goodrich 25 Nov 11 | 7:05 am
  1.9.3 is listed if I do a `pik list -r`, so it will install 1.9.3.
  
  Is that what you mean?
