So on Friday, which was supposed to be the night we recorded with Dan and John from Fear the Boot, by internet service provider decided that would be the right time to have a major hardware issue. After 90 minutes of Dan and John (and about 20 people in the chat room) waiting for me to get G+ to make us understandable, we decided to reschedule the recording.
That night, I called Charter Cable and the CS rep said, "ooh. Yeah, there's already a bunch of trouble tickets about this. Looks like the problem's on the node-level, so it's affecting 2 or 3 neighborhoods."
Unfortunately Charter is the ONLY affordable internet company in my area that (usually) gives me enough up bandwidth to run G+ hangout on air. G+ HOA wants 1 mb/s up.
Speed tests on Saturday and Sunday confirmed that the issue is fixed. I'm just waiting to hear from Dan about rescheduling. If I hear from him in the next couple of days, the episode will still drop this week. Otherwise, 10-18 will be a normal episode, and I'll sneak the FtB episode between existing episodes.
My apologies for those waiting patiently for us to resolve the issue on Saturday.

Not to jinx it, but we're going to try to record the episode w/ FtB tomorrow at about 6pm Pacific.

There are somethings "humankind" (and by that I do fully intend to exclude Australians) was not meant to know.... so as an on air hangout Stu ? Not to jinx it. . Just google soggy sao Malifer...I dare you. And then be thankful that the place is surrounded on all sides by large amounts of shark infested water.

It has to be a hangout so we can hear them and they can hear us (that's why we didn't just record it without streaming).
I don't think HoA uses any more bandwidth, so as long as my ISP cooperates, yes, it will be streamed live.

This does me no good for my long drive tomorrow afternoon (Eastern). You have failed me for the last time!
And by "last," I mean "most recent." Dang.
