The unplugged Mawson Lakes scare episode!
From Adelaide: Finally some beautiful weather in Adelaide, river walking paths late at night, the Mawson Lakes suburb, Rubenerd Unplugged inspired by The Overnightscape Rampler, a new use for my Ourmedia account, advice from Jerry Novak and a scary almost lethal close encounter!
Music for this episode performed by Chris Juergensen from Magnatune.com.
The barely listenable web development episode!
Hashing out and talking through some ideas about the future of Rubenerd.com and how I want to move my five seperate sites over to it. Might be listenable for a pleasant background distraction if you mess around with weblog engines, databases and whatnot, otherwise don’t feel bad giving this one a miss. Looking at Dave Wares’ Photo Gallery as an example of where I want to be.
To make it somewhat more interesting, I’ve included some retro audio easter eggs :-).
The "Fairness Engine" rant episode!
A rant episode in response to a new technology reported by Webware and an article calling the exposing of P2P as a red herring; talking about net neutrality, attacking symptoms not causes, RIAA/MPAA inspired bullying tactics. Not the same calibre as a Jimbob Kloss rant but I try my best!
Also briefly talk about a fascinating interview article from Slashdot from the inventor of C++, and the internets are working again at home!
The double net whammy and computer speed episode!
Locations in web form thingys, a huge power outage in Singapore, nostalgia comparing how we thought of computer speeds in the 80s, 90s and noughties, my vintage 200MHz Pentium MMX machine still running, the megahertz myth, building computers from Sim Lim Square, the Commodore VIC-20, Commodore 64 and Commodore 1541 disk drive, 6502 chips in everything, TMnet "high speed" monopoly in Malaysia, getting paid to podcast, stalling internet connections driving me crazy!
The somewhat psychedelic after dealing with difficult people episode!
Spending more time dealing with people not problems, university folks moving from Windows to Linux and Mac, university assignments, compulsive famboyism, SQlite, Microsoft C#.NET, squeaky clean OpenBSD, actually finding someone who likes Windows Vista, skies getting dark really fast, comments from Rubenerd Show 241, too many interesting people on Twitter, Twitter traditional news sources (Aussie ABC, BBC News, BBC SciTech, Reuters, Channel News Asia) and personal nuclear missile silos.
The FreeBSD Debian drivers rant episode!
