[3497.92 --> 3499.34] Jeez, I wear so many hats. |
[3499.74 --> 3500.62] What do you do? |
[3500.74 --> 3504.82] At any given moment, I could be on a podcast. |
[3505.04 --> 3508.16] Believe it or not, a large part of my job is sales. |
[3509.10 --> 3511.76] My lord, I do so much sales. |
[3512.10 --> 3512.80] It's crazy. |
[3514.70 --> 3515.96] Mostly relationships. |
[3515.96 --> 3519.92] It's really probably the easiest way to describe what I do is really about relationships. |
[3519.92 --> 3529.46] It's like everybody from the software development community to open source to people who are involved in open source to companies who want to sponsor our shows. |
[3529.82 --> 3532.06] And it's not just them giving us money. |
[3532.06 --> 3538.66] It's like we really like to work with companies that perfectly align with our podcast and things we do. |
[3539.40 --> 3544.54] And the relationships we form from that, like we have so many people we've worked with over the years that like they're good friends. |
[3544.66 --> 3549.46] I can call them and like just say hello and get birthday cards from there or whatever. |
[3549.54 --> 3550.04] Hang out. |
[3550.04 --> 3580.02] Hang out. |
[3580.04 --> 3585.44] And what we do here at the ChangeLog, it's our core motto is to enrich the lives of developers. |
[3585.74 --> 3598.00] Like our jobs to do what we do here is to hopefully bring you joy, make your jobs more fun, make life more fun, help you get to that next step, face your imposter syndrome or get over it. |
[3598.00 --> 3603.56] So that's the core thing we do is just make people's lives better, help people. |
[3603.90 --> 3604.36] That's what I do. |
[3604.54 --> 3605.20] Help people. |
[3605.20 --> 3607.54] So then I guess I'll finish this up. |
[3607.90 --> 3613.92] So my day job, I'm actually a systems architect at Comcast in the cable division. |
[3614.78 --> 3616.84] So for cable, there's really kind of two sides of it. |
[3617.00 --> 3623.56] There is the newer kind of IP based delivery similar to the way like Netflix or Hulu delivers. |
[3623.56 --> 3628.08] And then there's what we call QAM, which is Quadrature Amplitude Modulation. |
[3628.78 --> 3632.72] And that's how cable is delivered across the coax cable that comes in your house. |
[3633.42 --> 3635.96] So I work on with that group. |
[3636.58 --> 3649.96] And currently I work on a project for replacing kind of industry specific hardware that's used to multiplex multiple video streams together into a single stream that gets modulated out of that cable. |
[3649.96 --> 3652.86] So I'm replacing that with software. |
[3653.56 --> 3655.62] So the software itself is written in C++. |
[3655.90 --> 3657.60] There was a question about all Go. |
[3658.14 --> 3659.92] I primarily work in Go. |
[3660.12 --> 3662.32] Occasionally I have to patch that software. |
[3663.18 --> 3666.72] But mostly another team works on that that's written in C++. |
[3667.40 --> 3672.82] But a lot of what I do is design and build kind of the orchestration system surrounding that. |
[3673.16 --> 3677.88] How those video streams get deployed, how they fail over when a blade goes down, |
[3677.88 --> 3681.66] or when an entire head end goes down, and things like that. |
[3682.32 --> 3686.04] So anybody who's really interested in that, |
[3686.56 --> 3697.34] I actually did a talk back in November at KubeCon about this project as we're kind of rolling out IP and how to leverage the same networks. |
[3697.92 --> 3701.12] That's actually on YouTube if anybody's actually really interested in it. |
[3701.12 --> 3704.62] But yeah, mostly Go, mostly Kubernetes and containers. |
[3705.30 --> 3713.54] I'm fortunate enough that they let me work on patches to Kubernetes and Docker to help support some of the stuff we're wanting to do. |
[3714.28 --> 3715.70] And not just little patches either. |
[3716.00 --> 3716.86] Gigantic patches. |
[3717.06 --> 3717.74] Awesome patches. |
[3718.38 --> 3719.54] The biggest patches ever. |
[3720.48 --> 3720.84] They are. |
[3720.94 --> 3722.48] Some of your patches are crazy awesome. |
[3723.04 --> 3724.00] Especially to Docker. |
[3724.62 --> 3725.34] So don't be shy. |
[3725.34 --> 3728.34] So another question from Joe Shaw. |
[3728.64 --> 3731.46] And this one especially is important because Adam is here. |
[3732.30 --> 3738.68] While I'm on the topic of behind the scenes stuff, I'm also interested in the production of the podcast itself. |
[3739.34 --> 3743.54] So you want to talk about how this show is done? |
[3744.72 --> 3745.82] Yeah, where to start? |
[3747.00 --> 3748.88] Well, we get some people together. |
[3749.36 --> 3749.86] I'm just kidding. |
[3749.86 --> 3756.14] I think this show is a little bit different than, say, other shows. |
[3756.36 --> 3758.50] Like, for example, I'll compare it against the changelog. |
[3759.18 --> 3766.32] That show is sort of like a two-on-one or a one-on-one kind of scenario where it's more conversational. |
[3766.66 --> 3769.44] Where this one is kind of like that, but it's more panelist conversational. |
[3770.00 --> 3771.52] We also don't do that show live. |
[3771.64 --> 3776.72] So I don't think we can get the same kind of conversation if the show was live. |
[3776.72 --> 3784.52] So when you do a show live like GoTime, you kind of have to inherit some things like, well, people are going to be hanging out in Slack. |
[3784.64 --> 3786.78] And that's part of the show. |
[3787.02 --> 3796.20] Like, it may not end up in the show, but it reflects and sort of, like, helps give the show some attributes and attitude, so to speak. |
[3796.32 --> 3799.10] You know, like, you can tell a live show versus a non-live show. |
[3799.56 --> 3803.82] And we just figure with GoTime, it would be best to start doing it live. |
[3803.94 --> 3805.26] And that's one big thing. |
[3805.26 --> 3810.56] So the way we make that do it, like, I guess the technical pieces of that, we have a web service called WaveStreamer. |
[3810.66 --> 3815.66] And we point NiceCast to it, and we just broadcast everybody here to that. |
[3815.76 --> 3818.98] That's the easiest way to describe that. |
[3819.36 --> 3820.04] It works. |
[3820.26 --> 3824.52] I wouldn't say it's my favorite way of doing it, but it does work, and it's been reliable. |
[3824.92 --> 3827.44] We only had one issue, and it was user error. |
[3827.56 --> 3828.20] It was my error. |
[3828.20 --> 3833.44] So the time we had those live issues, it was not tech fault. |
[3833.56 --> 3834.64] It was Adam's fault. |
[3834.76 --> 3835.64] So I was an idiot. |
[3836.28 --> 3838.72] We have a pretty interesting setup here, though. |
[3839.20 --> 3842.16] We have a tower that is about 21 news. |
[3842.36 --> 3844.34] I don't know why it's 21 and not 20, but whatever. |
[3844.34 --> 3851.88] 21 news, a multi-channel interface, four Mac minis, which act as individual Skype machines. |
[3853.06 --> 3859.82] And basically, Eric, Brian, Carlissia, and the guest tend to hang out on those four individual machines, |
[3859.88 --> 3861.64] like each one to its own machine. |
[3861.64 --> 3869.82] That gets plugged into the audio interface, which then goes into the Mac Pro, which then gets tracked to whatever DAW I'm using. |
[3869.96 --> 3875.64] And in this case, a DAW is a digital audio workstation is what that means. |
[3875.98 --> 3877.90] And I use Adobe Audition. |
[3878.06 --> 3880.90] It's my preferred one because I love JKL. |
[3881.26 --> 3882.02] Long story short. |
[3883.60 --> 3884.40] What else? |
[3884.66 --> 3885.64] Yeah, we track it into there. |
[3885.72 --> 3887.54] It's multi-channel, so I'm on my own channel. |
[3887.54 --> 3893.46] Eric, Brian, and Carlissia, they're in their own channel, so I can independently move around the timeline and make edits |
[3893.46 --> 3897.72] and independently EQ or level each individual guest. |
[3897.80 --> 3906.70] That's why it's a little easier having crappier mics so most of our guests don't have professional mics like we all do. |
[3907.52 --> 3910.52] They tend to be just like whatever headsets, you know? |
[3910.52 --> 3918.74] So you make that better by isolating it to its own channel, and you can then fine-tune it. |
[3918.82 --> 3927.08] Now, you can't correct it, make it a better mic, but it's one way we combat having bad-sounding shows is by this process. |
[3927.62 --> 3929.26] There's other ways to do podcasting. |
