Rory cracks me up. I must be sleep deprived since I can only understand maybe 1/15th of what he just said. Plus how many people can say they met him? OH, I can! And I got interviewed by him too on Channel 9 and he hugged me! Look at how nervous I was, its so cute!
Here is the email thread I had with him regarding video editing software. I've already expressed my hatred for all things video editing. However helping do the first version of the refract project, I've gotten a better grasp at Movie Maker, too bad it crashes every 5 minutes. Then again, I don't think it was designed to deal with multiple 1 gig files....
Hey Rory, I’m going to start to do more and more webcasts and I was wondering what video editing software do you use? I’m about ready to hurt Windows Movie maker.
What does Channel 9 use?

Oopsies. Your email was filtered out by one of my many middleman servers that holds back anything suspicious, and there was a word in the subject line - one I'm afraid to even mention here lest *this* email gets pulled along the way (the first letter is 's' and it refers to a processed pork food - also to a certain kind of message that nobody wants).
What I said was something like this:
I'm totally hardcore gon' do something or other with this all post-like 'stead of the emails.
It'll go up on Wednesday.
Rock your face, motha[edit]'.
Good to hear from you.
And, yeah, Windows Movie Maker is like a burning digital poker right in the eyeball.
There are some good solutions - I'll right 'splain 'em.
In the meantime, we ask that you be patient and continue to be frustrated with WMM until such time as we can provide the information you'll need to dig yourself out of this inferior-video-editing-product shaped hole.
By then, you might even have an answer. However, I'll post anyway for the benefit of everybody who's looking for a cheap alternative to free crap.
Toodles,

So if I deciphered his email properly So looks like Rory is going to rock the house with free / cheap video editing alternatives. hell yeah. better yet, I don't have to track down and test out 8 bagillion programs to find a decent one.
