The Murphy Builders Site

Bobp,

A couple of years ago the question of taking notes during your meetings was
brought up, but you had found this difficult to accomplish and end up with
anything useful. You mentioned at the time that you had made audio recordings
of at least a couple of meetings. I bring this up now because with the new
server I've built I now have the ability to offer streaming multimedia. This
means that multimedia files like audio and video can be sent in a stream
allowing large files to be listened to/viewed with relatively low bandwidth...
just like listening to the radio over the internet. If you were to start
recording your meetings again, you could send me a tape and I could then play
the tape into the computer and allow other builders to listen to the meetings.

If you'd like to try it out, use Windoze Media Player to go to:

Just a thought.

Mike

Hey Mike,

Checked out your link. Wasn't a very exciting demo. At least you could
have told us a joke :-( ! Works great over here though :-)
Could also add presentations by DM, maybe someone could do a video
walk-around of their project, etc.
Pilots can communicate better if their hands are moving, ;-)

Cheers,

Thanks Mike !

This certainly sounds intriguing !
It might just put a
lot of folks to sleep, though ... ;-)

I recall we tried to audio tape one
meeting, but there
were so many people talking, and so much
noise, that the one mike
couldn't pick up all of the comments - just
too fuzzy to catch
everything, so we scrapped the idea as not
too useful. Had thought
we might transcribe notes from the tapes ...

A LOT of the learning takes place at
break time, when
we go out to view visiting Rebels, in
one-on-one discussions -
again, hard to capture. We do say "You just
have to BE there !" ;-)
I know that's pretty hard - it's a long
commute from Alaska
every couple of months !

Technology marches on, though -
maybe we can try again in
a year or so, with a digital camcorder and a
couple of better mikes.
Now that I have "high-speed" (hah! ....
well, 'better') access, it
won't take quite so long to send. (Maybe we
could even try a
web-cam ! :-) )

-------------

I think what I'd like to see - and
I'm willing to help
get it going - is for others to start Rebel
Builders Meetings in
different areas. I know many of you already
get together occasionally
to exchange ideas - this would just
formalize it into a regular
meeting, say every 2 months, wherever there
are 5 or 6 builders
within driving distance. We try to do
Builder Visits in the months
between meetings - again, seeing the other
guy's workshop & tools
can really be helpful. All it would take
is one person to be
group leader, and organize the meetings.
Ideally, they would be in
the same place every 2 months, so folks
would get to know when
they could learn about building - so we
could attract RAA & EAA
people as well.

The organization would be called
Rebel Owners International -
because the Rebel family gives excellent
'Return On Investment' !! ;-) :-)
I think we could get some assistance from
the factory to help make
this fly - it can certainly help with
marketing, as well as
building !! Maybe even crests for jackets
and hats ...

Video is a great suggestion, and we
REALLY appreciate all
the work you put in to provide this list -
it's really been a lifesaver
for SO many builders. This is the ONLY way
we have to spread the
experience around, and it is just invaluable !!

Thanks again !

PS
Will try to 'borrow' a WinDoze
machine to try the ASF ... ;-)
