Introduction to OBS

I am critical enough of other people that it seems only fair that I should hold myself to account when I hand in a turkey. Well, I have two for you. A couple of weeks ago I did a video introducing viewers to Open Broadcasting Systems, and while it was a little rough around the edges, it went fairly well. The same cannot be said of the video I did last week, Introduction to Audacity, nor the one I did today, Introduction to Mailing Lists. In both cases, I had technical problems, commands I thought would work didn't work, I couldn't remember how to do things (like, say, create a new 'audience' in MailChimp (turns out you have to list 'all audiences', and only then do you see the button)). Now I like to have some realism in my presentations, so people can see how even experts sometimes struggle with the tech - that's why I created a 'Stephen Follows Instructions' video series. But this is failure beyond that. So anyhow, I'm feeling a bit chastened, and being called out for it in OLDaily serves me right.
