The Global Geek Podcast #012
The Global Geek Podcast #012 (MP3 - 34.4MB - 50.06min)
Another show and another headache. If anyone can tell me why Audacity insists on changing the sample rate to 24khz when the project is at 44khz; then I would love to know. In my effort to get the podcast file size down I decided to encode it at 64kbps, it sounded great but the sample rate was 24khz… So after 2 hours of beating my head against the wall I have it for you at 96kbps, it seems to like that and it retains the 44khz sample rate.
But that said it was a great show, we had a great time recording it and we have some great content. Thanks for listening or returning to check us out again.

Guys, a few clarifications for ya.
1. Eric Schmidt is the Chairman and CEO of Google. He was previously the CEO of Novell.
2. The borg picture of Gates on /. is way old. They’ve been using that icon for M$FT news items since forever.
Good show!

You’ve never heard of an email interview?? LOL.

Hey Cam, Great to see that you are listening to the show! Thanks for the support.
As far as the borg thing goes, I don’t look at web pages mate, I subscribe to the RSS feed and that means no pretty pictures, just text.
The other thing is no, never heard of and email interview. Think it is a good idea though. Glad you think that’s funny.
Finally, it is great to see that we have had our first complaint, that’s a real achievment.
