Ustream has been a real pain for us the last few weeks.  I was a Firefox user last weekend and had to use Safari for the stream and it worked fine.  This week, using Safari 4…it wouldn’t work at all.  So I used Firefox.  Worked fine until the end and then it constantly kept dropping.  I’m still not sure if it’s my connection or ustream but, regardless, I haven’t been completely happy with them.  We never showed up in their iPhone app - which, to be honest, pretty much sucks.

We’re looking into using a different service from now on.  I’m testing some right now as I write this - you know, instead of school work or editing the podcast - and seeing  how it goes.  We’ll decide on one soon and make this all work.

Again, we apologize for our issues.  Ustream just hates us, I guess.

I’ve allowed comments to be posted without moderation as an experiment - for now.

Comment away!

When a mission or nanomission goes on, every heister has an opinion about the puzzles and the loot. We want to know what they are! The quickest way to let us know is via twitter hash tags. We’ve come up with two hash tags #mhpuzzle and #mhloot.

Use #mhpuzzle to tell us when you’re stuck, when a puzzle is particularly cool, or when you’ve finally solved it.

Use #mhloot after the debriefing to tell us what you think of the freebies.

If your entry is particularly awesome, we may mention your Twittername live on the air. So tweet away Twitterverse, we’re listening!

In light of the removal of the Chat link on the MacHeist page, we enlisted the help of Timi to create a cocoa wrapper for Mibbit so people can still get to the channel.

Here’s the download link.  Go enjoy the awesome program that Timi made for us.  It’s got a link to this site and a link to the ustream page so you can enjoy everything that we’ve got for you.

*Edit: The app includes our stream, irc and twitter - and now has a link to the download in the sidebar. Thanks Timi!*
