The Global Geek Podcast #028
Welcome to the show for this week. This week we had a few false starts, some audio issues, some gate issues, some English issues and some coke issues. To top it all off Knightwise had too much coffee. So it was a great show and should be very entertaining. For us it was like extracting teeth. No, not really; we had a ball and we hope you do too. Bunker down here are the show notes.

The Von – what a fantastic idea to really peeve off the telcos…but we will never see it in Australia I suspect. I hope we will though; it would be a great boon.
Another idea that takes the net to a new level.

The cool thing is , you can use it anywhere, all you need is a broadband connection. Just hook up that VON router (see if you can order it on http://www.skype.com) and hook it up to your wifi network

Hey Guys good Show. Its been a bit of a while since I’ve been able to listen in but good stuff all around. Figured i’d drop a comment to tell you so. anywhoo good stuff.

Hey Knightwise, apologies for not digging a bit deeper and realising you’re not American – not that there’s anything wrong with that. If it makes you feel any better my favourite beer is Hoegaarden (had to check spelling) and my wife loves Belgian chocolates!

Dan, don’t sweat it. He just had too much coffee.
The description has been changed – anyone notice that?

Indeed ! Too much coffee. And being mistaking for an American as a Belgian is actually a compliment for my English. I did use to babysit with a Texan family for three years straight , so that explains the southern brawl.
And as they say : Tea = Goooood .. Three cups of coffee
… Baaad !

[...] Go and check out the full story and the original article. Given the news at the time it was fairly amusing. We are still laughing about it. While you are there check out the latest show for The Global Geek Podcast, it was a blast. Knightwise had way too much coffee, he is still making apologies. [...]
