Well, MTC wrote this:

 but he isn't around on IRC at the moment for me to ask.

Looks like they are reworking the site, but the old site sends you
here http://linuxcom.blip.tv/rss when you click on video.

Blip.tv isn't a great hosting site for unencumbered formats, but at
least if you upload in Ogg/Theora they'll continue to make it
available.

I think its important that we try to maintain a "How can we help?"
outlook even when "Look— you screwed up" appears justified, if nothing
else it spares us egg-face when we're in error as it appears we may be
here.
