Didn't Raymond Chen say he *never* wants to be on video/TV; he ever had an entire blog post about why.... :O

Wheres my head at?

Well its hard for him to maintain an aire of Anonymity when hes doing a talk in front of hundreds of people, so I guess a few thousand more online won't make much difference.

"Don't worry about this guy, he's just here to annoy me!"

Not trying to sound like an (I need to watch my language) but has anyone got a good echo-remover for WinAMP / WMA? You can only trim off so much with the graphic equaliser and some of it is in the 600 ~ 2k range along with his voice. Also if you have the PDC slides that would be great too. Smiley

There's even a theory that he isn't real

...so he is actually young!!!... I'm sure hundreds of people (including me) wondered for a long time what he looked like... I thought we would be more the (oldie) big fat kind of guy...

Would you like fries with that?

Raymond's an amazingly cool guy. And I can confirm that he is in fact a person, not a posting bot. Wink

Am I crazy or did Microsoft have recordings of most of the sessions at PDC 03? How come they didnt do it this time?

This was really entertaining, considering it was about Win32 programming thats saying something.

Nice that this was made available, but next time try have a mic - it is easier to lipsync the audio from another source than to cancel those echos.

I'm the video guy

They recorded all the sessions. I'll try to find out if we can use any of those here. I used my camcorder so that I wouldn't have to ask and so that I could get you the recording faster.
