Re: Download of Damian Perl 6 talk audio

This Q5 and Q8 thing, is this the answers to questions numbered five and eight as posed by some audience members? The rest of the talk was not recorded? Is "Q5" some sort of Speex codec version?

Random guess; based on file size I think Q stands for Quality. Q5 would be a lower quality of the same talk compared to Q8.	[reply]

It's `s/Q(\d)/quality setting $1/;` — the content of both files is identical, they just differ in quality and therefore size. $ curl -sLI \ http://freecache.org/http://www.finux.org/audio/talk195-q5.spx \ http://freecache.org/http://www.finux.org/audio/talk195-q8.spx \ \| grep -i ^Content-Length Content-Length: 13036242 Content-Length: 20641946 Makeshifts last the longest.
