    Default TBCS World Record Attempt! Friday, July 23rd



    I/we will be going mostly all day (or until we break the record at least!)

    Will probably start around 10AM PST. More details to follow.
    This will be live on ustream!

    EDIT (more details):
    Watch Here! http://www.ustream.tv/channel/the-be...record-attempt

    Start time will be 10:30AM PST (Sacramento, CA time)

    There will be some testing of the setup (cameras, etc) today if you wish to tune in.

    Summer wouldn't be the best time for an air-cooled record. Haha

    Specs of the test system?

    Why would it not be the best time for a record attempt? Some of us leave the AC on 24-7 and keep our homes 65 year round. It was 102 here yesterday and the inside of my home was about 67f.

    Imagine if it was already in the 60's though. I'd imagine it would help quite a bit if you could get the room in the low 50's.

    You gotta admit that doing it outside in the Alaskan winter WOULD bring the temps down a bit

    Good luck with the record breaking though, I'll be sure to tune in.

    That I do Kayin, and it will be put to use.

    I managed ~4.75 already on air in my first couple of attempts.
