What are the odds of that, frigg'n hilarious! Yes, spilled water over the eeePC doing the live feed! EPIC FAIL! It ran for about 5 minutes with the water and then just died completely. Tried to dry it out and get back on air, but it just wouldn't even turn on. Remembered I still had my old crusty webcam so dug it out and got on with the show on the desktop in the study.
Hard drive data is ok.
Great fun!

Sounds a lot more fun than "reality TV" and more true to how things go in real life too ;)
Cubeee the eeePC has risen from the ashes. I'm out of the dog house.

OK Great Dave,
I felt it was the one I talked you into from "catch of the day".
And I knew where to get cheap keyboards, as I got one posted at about $18.55AUD from honkers, so I was waiting to see how you got on. But when you said there was water on top of the drive, I thought the motherboard etc., would be fried.
It made for an interesting live video blog. :-)
Cheers Don...

Yep, that's the one.
It did indeed. After downloading the recorded footage from Ustream it's pretty obvious the eeePC and/or the wireless connection was simply not up to the task. It was almost unwatchable, the video would drop out for 10's of seconds at a time. The second part which used my desktop directly connected to the net didn't drop any visible frames that I could see in 51 minutes of recording, and that was using my ancient webcam.
So it was an interesting trial. More experiments and different hardware required before trying again.
Dave.
