    Good show, like the geese and the even the nip was funny. Looked cold, though, it will make me stop whining about the SF bay area at 55F.

  6. ctrflowers says:

    That’s what Will gets for messing with the hinterland! :P

    BTW, another great episode guys…damn that twply! :)

    @Ryan
    All my Facebook Connect experiences were in Espanol! It was very multicultural.
    @ctrflowers
    That is a real Who’s Who Voice-over, the viz is all us obviously :)
    @Dan
    Very cold, we would love to be shooting in SF.

  12. Will Pate says:

    I was just trying to give the swan something to munch. I guess he was a food critic.

  13. Philip Roy says:

    Wow…what a nice surprise. Great new look…very clean! Amber, I misread the badge that you’re on for a moment…I thought it said “Date CommandN”…I thought “what the!?”

    The donate link is bringing up an error for me (”Sorry — your last action could not be completed
    “). BTW, my CommandN t-short arrived way sooner than I expected here in NZ.

    Cheers, Phil

  14. ambermac says:

    @Phillip - thanks for the heads up about the Donate link…will let the team know.

    @Will - that goose bite is funnier every time you watch it!

    -Amber

  15. Congratulations on your award success with Itunes and PCMag. No suprise to your regular listeners. Keep up the good work. Love the WP

  16. Philip Roy says:

    PayPal link all good now…and working so not sure what it was. Just tested it by donating….and would encourage others to test too ;-)

    Phil

  17. jeff says:

    Philip Roy: Donate link should be fixed now - thanks for pointing it out!

    Everyone feel free to let us know about this stuff - we want to get our new home nice and tidy :-) .

  19. Marcelo says:

    Great show! The background was nice too. Congratulations for the new website!

  20. ambermac says:

    @Marcelo - you can thank Chris for dragging us out in the freezing cold to a duck pond on outskirts of Toronto!

    -Amber

  21. Nick Young says:

    Happy New Year guys. Well done on another fantastic episode and an AWSOME website. Look forward to seeing more in 2009. How about more dangerous wildlife, possibly rabbits!!!

  22. Dale says:

    Hey Guys, website isn’t working properly in Chrome, any chance of a fix?

  23. jeff says:

    DALE: Actually, Aaron, our web guy, is working on that as we speak. Take a peak later this week and let us know if it’s working for all you Chrome users.

    PS: Amber also forgot to thank our wonderful MGImedia.ca designer, Shane Whitehouse, who did the design for the site - thanks so much for the new look Shane!

    Thanks!

    Jeff

  24. Mike Hurren says:

    Good show, guys. I loved Jeff’s decabling segment. I decabled myself in July when I moved to Canada, so I subscribed to the new blog and I’m looking forward to more there and here on the subject.
    Also, I just got my new website up and running, registered through GoDaddy. Thanks for the discount. It’s a site where you can donate to charity for free. It’s running on WordPress at ClickJar.com. Check it out.
    Thanks again.

  25. commandn says:

    Site has been adjusted for Chrome, iPhone & iPod Touch :) Reload and let us know of any other issues you see, please!

    Aaron

  26. Jesse Morgan says:

    Awesome looking site. I loved the hinterland moment at the end. Nice Chris!

  27. Awsome….! Great content. Very helpfull. “I’m hooked!”

  28. Dan Lueders says:

    Hey Jeff

    I’m using a MacMini as a media server on a 52″ screen and I it works great!

    Dan

  29. I like the new website. Keep up the good work.

    Great Site More Info Great Look……….Keep Up The Good Work…………..

  32. Thomas says:

    Just wanted to let you know that for people looking for a good media center on the Xbox, there’s http://xbmc.com It’s the system Boxee is based on.

  33. Martin B says:

    Not sure what Jeff was saying about Opera 9….. I am a dedicated Opera user (ver. 9.6) and I currently have Flash Version 10 installed. If it was stuck at version 7, I could not even view the show in my browser. Just a note.

  34. Leo Laporte says:

    Site is looking nice - and I love the Facebook connect!!

  35. Hi Amber! Watching and listening to you now. :) Have you tried Google Friend Connect as well?

  36. Jim Goss says:

    Hi Amber,
    Have followed you and Leo from the Call for Help days.

  37. Canadian geese live year round here in North Carolina . They have their pride however . I see ducks begging for food at drive throughs but the geese concentrate on child rearing!

  38. Sherwood says:

    LOL, luv’d the old CBC hinterland hehe

  39. I hadn’t watched CommandN in a while - I love the new (?) intro and transition graphics.

  40. jeff says:

    Martin B: I was specifically talking about Opera on the Wii, not the “desktop” Opera r.e. the Flash video problem. Definitely let me know if you’ve found this not to be true on the Wii (I checked mine and had read that it was the case).

    Leo: Nice to see you in the comments - Happy New Year!

    And thanks everyone else for the great comments and tips!

    Jeff

  41. The new commandN looks great. Thanks for mentioning Blip.FM on net@nite. You should have plugged my page Blip.FM/PaulFrankRizzo. See my website for my Social Networking links. Hope Jeff is doing well.

  42. Gary Norton says:

    Interesting, the Facebook connect worked great I’ll pass this on.

  43. Nice website, and Amber, your shows are great. Keep up the good work!!

  44. Ed says:

    Nice show. Jeff, are you aware of Daisey Whittney’s ( of This Week in Media) decable blogging?

  45. Great new site! Very slick. Keep up the great work. I wear my commandN t-shirt with pride.

  46. ambermac says:

    @Darren - good for you. If you want, send us a pic of yourself in the shirt so we can use it in a promo!
    -Amber

  47. @Amber - here’s me in one sharp-looking shirt: http://unirunner.com/node/389 - BTW, I really like the Facebook Connect feature. If I could get it going on my old Drupal install I would be happy. Yea, right!

  48. Michael says:

    Great show and really great new site. Amber mentionned you’re using Wordpress now. Just wanted to know if you are using GoDaddy to host it? Thanks and keep up the good work!

  49. Another great show. Loved the Hinterland Whos Who shout out at the end. Keep the Canadian content coming! I’d love to see you guys add someone from out west with a weekly segment. With Jeff on the east coast, Amber in the middle you need to find someone from out west to represent Canada coast to coast.

  50. ambermac says:

    @Darren - thanks so much!

  51. Philip Roy says:

    Guys, a heads up….Now that Amber’s posted and it’s appeared on a new page, I’m finding I can’t go back and see the first 50 comments. “Next” and “Older” are doing nothing. Amber’s also listed as post 1 rather than 51. Looks like a bug.

  52. Philip Roy says:

    OK…and what gets weird, the “Next” and “Older” was at the bottom of the page. When I posted my comment, a new link appeared “Older comments” and that one works….so a bit odd. Maybe you’re working on it at the moment?

  53. ambermac says:

    Yup, we’re working on it - thanks!

  54. jeff says:

    OK - we’ve at least got the comments back on one page for now. Will get the link confusion sorted out. Thanks for letting us know!

    Jeff

  55. Love the new site. Excellent job. Great episode too.

  56. Sgt Ret says:

    Swans were used as watchdogs in ancient Rome.

    They are some of the nastiest animals on the planet. They have been known to break bones when snapping at people. I am glad you got away with a mere bite. Geese are nasty but nothing comes close to the swan. They are descendants from raptors!!

    It was a great episode. A comment needs to be made about the scarf and the microphone. It seems to damper down Amber’s voice. I noticed this in this and the last episode.

    Have a wonderful year all of you.
    Sgtret

  57. Mark Rakocy says:

    Love that post-credit segment. Always good to learn about non-tech too.

  58. ET says:

    Love the new site and the show was great as always. Sure looks cold up there!!

  59. Jimmy Pons says:

    Thanks for this new episode and for the facebook new way of keeping us together. Cool

  60. Neil Mundy says:

    Hey have been watching commandN for years but never got around to registering and after hearing net@night, I had to see how amazing (Amber) Facebook Connect is!

  61. Tim Leon says:

    Great episode and great new design. I heard about Facebook Connect on net@night and thought I would check it out.

  62. jeff says:

    Sgt Ret: Yeah, I’ve heard swans are nasty beasts but I like the idea of a swan “watchdog” a lot :-) .

    Thanks for the comments everyone,

    Jeff

  63. I love the idea of decabling and would love to try it, we already have an Apple TV hacked with Boxee and a Netflix account but unfortunately Comcast charges just about the same for cable + internet as they do for just internet…I think I heard this was because if you get internet they can’t turn off the tv signal. I really wish Verizon would bring some fiber down our street…

  64. Mike Kresic says:

    Great episode. Love the new website. Would like to find a template like this for my WP site. Also testing out FB Connect after your recommendation.

  65. Jerry says:

    Hi Amber,

    Love your site very informative. Here’s a goofy litttle site for you to check out. http://bomomo.com/

  66. Steve Rowles says:

    Hi Amber,
    Heard you and Leo this week talking about Facebook connect so visited you on commandN and have now bookmarked you. Nice video blog and like the facebook login.
    Steve

  67. Mark Kerzner says:

    Great episode even with the Swan abuse ;-) I’m also jumping on the facebook connect bandwagon…

  68. Adam Jordan says:

    Great Episode and I love the new site. keep up the good work guys!

  69. Great show guys. loved the location and Will’s little “interaction” with the wildlife. The site is also looking good.

  70. Steve Saylor says:

    Thank you all for the great comments! I’m glad that the facebook connect is working so well. Thanks to the team for making it happen. We are going to have so much fun with this! More community features to come!
