Thanks to everyone that has sympathized with my move - it is yet to get exciting as we are up to our arses in legals and general crap. But that will improve and we are looking forward to that I can tell ya.

Looks like the Dr Evil and KW segment was a hit… KW feel free to send us more stuff to edit out of context…

@George the problem with 8 is that it is fast but there are bugger all sites that can push it that fast. Believe it or not but iTunes is the fastest at 6000 down - whole album in 8 seconds. Bigger sites like YouTube are pretty quick. It does make a difference though and I love it. Just hope I can get it where I am going!

@Jeff I would definitely avoid scribefire since it has become owned by an ad company. I would check out Post2Blog as it looks great - not used it. But I have used Qumana http://www.qumana.com and it is very good. Major benefit is that it backs up your blog as well as being blogging application as well. The drag and drop feature is awesome - makes for quick posts. Try it for free.

Oh and one last thing before I have to have tea is that I would like to thank the guys that have sent us a MyChingo - if you have not sent us one then give it a try! Also it has been unreal to hook up with you guys on Facebook - to actually “see” you is fantastic. We encourage everyone to hop along to Facebook and join us.

Hello guys. Just wanted to chime in on my thoughts for Episode 53. First of all, I loved the Knightwise, Dr Evil segment with the Leer Jet. I thought that was hilarious. Unfortunately I have been unable to really use Feed Demon as I am still spending quite a bit of time getting my WordPress blog looking just right and getting the plugins installed. But from the little time I have spent using Feed Demon, I must say that it is one heck of a reader and I just may purchase it for future use.

You guys talked about Post2Blog. How would you compare and rate Post2Blog against something like Scribefire (Formerly the Performancing Plugin For Firefox)

Illumino sounds like something I need to get involved with. Perhaps this will help me build a pretty decent feed list.

Awesome show and I look forward to 54!

P.S. Good luck on the move.

Another great podcast. Dave, good luck with the move, i moved twice in 18 months last year, cant say i liked it.

I recently churned from one ISP to another going from 512 to 1.5, gotta love my speed, but now I think I need 8.

Nice pick Dave BTW, I wonder by Knightwise went to the VIRGIN Island?

Dave, good luck on your move and new position. Everyone’s getting new jobs eh? Maybe I need to start looking. Anyone want a FreeBSD/Solaris geek in Singapore or Dubai?

I kid. The wife wants to live in the PRC. bleah!

btw - I get a windows mobile 6 HTC Herald/wing from T-Mobile this week. Only 99$ instead of 500$. How could I pass that up? You can expect more mobile BDs. oh, what the heck is a bluedot anyway?

oh, I really digg the KW/Dr Evol segment.

I’m thinking about putting XP on my 1.8Ghz macbook so I can play WBC2.

Is it weird being ginger? Just wondering. I’m Anglo/Japanese/Mexican. I figure that’s less weird that being ginger. I grew up in a little redneck down too. I feel for you Dave.

ok, I better stop before this turns in my LJ.

s - FreeNAS rocks. It’s still working fine at my wife’s office.

I think NetNewsWire 3 is offical now.

i could have gone back to Myer where I got it and asked them to fix it but that would involved somehow getting it back to the store and then waiting for them to send it back to Apple and maybe get it back in a month. applecare is an extended warranty kind of thing as well and with it i get onsite repairs which is a lot more oconvienient to me at this time. i got a custom built machine so not like I could go back to the store and get a new one off the shelf, if it was that easy I may have done that.

Yea I know putting Vista on it is bad, but Vista does have some very nice wallpapers, which I copied to my OSX partition, and it now also allows me to play games that i couldn’t play for ages. i even renewed my EQ2 account which I hadn’t played for over 2 years and am excited to go back to that..eventually.

a 24″ imac and the man puts vista on it ! Your glad the thing didn’t jump out the window after you installed the OS of hell. Tony .. (godfatherly voice) .. You Disappoint me … Tony .. how can somebody from the family do such a terrible act.

Putting vista on a 24 inch Imac is like having Lindsay Lohan NAKED in your bedroom (willing to do everything) and letting her organise your stamp-collection !

Glad you liked the music… Tim will be pleased to know that you thought it was tops. It will at least stir him from his drunken, drug induced sleep long enough to do another show.

As always dude great to have you drop a comment on the blog… even if you do abuse us it is better than nothing…

I never said I was trying to install Bootcamp inside Parallels, may have said I was installing Bootcamp AND Parallels though.

Anyways for Mac update news I got my new shiny 24 inch iMac on Thursday night, makes 17 inch look like a laptop in comparison. Installed Winblows Vista and instaled a ew games and had some fun. Leave for work on Mon morning and screen goes blank and fan starts blowing like a lear jet.

News is Apple repair will be visiting to try and fix it…4 days and it’s broken For those of you buying Macs try and get the Applecare.

I will have a further update when i know what’s happening.

Music wise last weeks punk song was pretty good compared to that crap at the end of this weeks show. What the hell was that supposed to be anyway?

Loved the review of Particls - we love hearing both good and constructive feedback it keeps us amped to do the next build.

Some inside info for you:

There was a request to get every item from the feed through the ticker irrespective of if it matches your attention profile or not. If you go into the advanced tab and rate the source as ‘Strongly Like’ all the posts should come through.

We agree about the ticker real-estate problem - stay tuned for a thin and auto-hide mode for it

The initial bandwidth issues will be worked on too- we have not spent any time optimizing that yet and it is well overdue.

And we are also working on a faster learning curve with some cleverer (yes that’s a word) algorithms on the way.

Thanks again gents!

The next comment is from Chris Saad, I think he had intended it to go here, so I’ve moved it!

Especially if you have a widescreen monitor, there’s lots and lots of room to the right of the menu items for the address bar, and you can reclaim that big strip of vertical space without having to give up your menus.

Havent had a chance to listen yet as I have to travel to Maryborough this week (some of you will know where this is). Can you find a spot for me on the Lear Jet, otherwise Ill go QANTAS.

Cheers
