Update #17: Yikes, technical difficulties.

Posted on February 8

Anybody hoping for the Livestream of Downcast editing tonight, my apologies. Due to technical difficulties arising from the recent Livestream updates (they've gotten downtime and have pissed off quite a quotient of their users), we are unable to get that rolling tonight.

Looked into an alternative with Ustream but due to difficult access to a chat room (and the whole point is communication between editor and audience) and the heavier resources required, thus slowing down my editing, it wouldn't work either.

We'll try to get this worked out for another time in the future!

~Chris.
