Yes, it has been a while, but I am finally getting some breathing room, and taking it easy this summer. I will be doing one show shortly, and then hopefully one every two to three weeks.

It is sometimes hard being a one man show. My main fileserver at home, has a bad disk drive, and it is on the /home partition, which is where the majority of my data is stored. I have tried things like SpinWrite, but the disk has too many errors on it, that are not repairable. I have to move data to another server, since this is my main consulting data system, which runs many web applications that I use for my consulting business.

I hope to have that project done in a few weeks, so I can get back on track with the podcasts.

Sorry - I have been busy with other projects, and have not had time to work on this Podcast. I hope that I will be able to do a little bit this weekend. I also have to post the test podcast, which will simply be myself and my daughter messing around with the microphone. This podcast will be used for testing purposes, and should not be taken seriously

Well, I still need to create a logo! I have "Logo Design Studio" for the Mac, so hopefully I will get it done soon.

I am also going to be posting a test podcast to make sure everything is working correctly. I need to make sure RSS is working, and the links to libsyn work as well. I still do not see how http://libsyn.com can make money by offering unlimited bandwidth. What if someone decided to post some 1080p videocasts? That would surely put a strain on libsyn.

So, hold on tight. I really hope to get the first podcast out this weekend sometime.

Well, I am still working out the last of the audio issues. I have found some good recording levels, that sound clean, and now I have to do some more testing. I will finally be posting the first test - hopefully tonight or Monday. I then have to document everything, so I do not have to go through all the trial and error again

Sorry - things are kind of hectic. I did find a place to host the media files, which will be able to handle any bandwidth that is requested! It should be able to get hammered, and I will not incur any costs. All pricing is done on the total size of the media. You can sign up at libsyn.com

I will be posting a test podcast to get the RSS working properly, and get it submitted to iTunes, so I can test things out.

I am still working on some technical sound issues, and I still need to do some artwork. I am hoping to have the first show out in two weeks.

This is just a test. The Podcast show notes will be posted here, so you can reference links, or any updates or any answers to questions that come up on the show.
