Hi Adrian,
 
On Saturday I completed the Chaitin lecture and set the computer to rendering the 
RealMedia version after I left. However, when I came in today, I found there was an 
error during the rendering process, which makes it necessary to render the video 
again tonight. I'll let you know when it is ready to pick up.
 
I started working on the Fredkin lecture on Saturday, and am continuing work on it 
tonight. Unfortunately, both cameras were dropping frames, not just one, so the editing 
process remains tedious despite the simple format of the lecture.
 
Best regards,
Victor
