On Daniel Fry’s Wikipedia entry, a link was added to a longer version of the 1970 interview Fry did in Finland. I updated the clip on the Multimedia page.
Yahh! Maybe linking through to the Finland broadcasting company helped! They updated their Daniel Fry page and even added a link back to here! I snarfed the new, longer video they posted and put it on the media page. If I don’t get a take-down notice, it will still be there when you read this!
Man, it took about four hours to get the video because they have some great kungfu on their server obscuring the original file name. I ended up going through about five different screen capture programs to capture the video properly. The first few attempts ended up with a moving audio sync gap, which meant by the end, it was close to a second out between the video and audio. Then, I wanted to get the entire video without the flash player controls obscuring the bottom, which took lots more fiddling. I finally got it with the “Debut Screen Capture”, which uses a lot of open source technology at it’s heart.
The rip isn’t perfect, as the VMware guest I was doing it in was stuttering a bit because I had a backup going in the background.
On an related note, <sigh> I regularly check Daniel Fry’s Wikipedia entry and most changes are benign. However, suddenly after a few years of relative quiet, there seems to be a push by various random editors to rewrite the criticism part in favour of Fry. It wouldn’t be so bad, but their grammar is horrid and they use nebulous words like “conjecture”, meh. It’s more like “evidence”. I try to have a soft hand in reverting the edits.
