We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.
Samizdata, derived from Samizdat /n. - a system of clandestine publication of banned literature in the USSR [Russ.,= self-publishing house]

Launch tonight is official Spacex will attempt the third launch of the Falcon 1 tonight at 1600 PDT / 1900 EDT / 2300 UTC. You can go here and test your video set up with the available webtest.php link.
Video will go live around 30 minutes before the scheduled launch time. I will attempt to add comments here as it happens if I have any thoughts that might be useful to our readers.

Who Are We? The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling.
We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

Error. You’ve got a quotation mark (“) in the link address.
That is all.
Link doesn’t seem to work. But then as we know, there’s no such thing as a free launch.
I’m having mixed results with the link. Whatever software they used last time I think worked better.
This software seems to clog my system so I started it on a dedicated computer (but the audio unfortunately doesn’t seem to be working) and have shut down all other bandwidth stuff and it still seems to run by fits and starts.
Earlier they had live video with leaves in the wind and clouds moving but it’s gone now. Right now I am getting a black screen that has countdown numbers up in the top right corner. If anybody starts getting audio, could you comment it here. That will LMK to start seeing if I can make mine work. Listening to the techs is almost the best part.
Oops, just got a picture. Is there any audio?
BTW, big thanks to Dale, for indulging us less astute space junkies.
Webcast now scheduled for 5:05 PDT.
Thank goodness for delays. I got my back up system giving a clean pic and audio with no problems.
Cool.
