Podservations Delayed, And Other Thoughts

Podservations Delayed, And Other Thoughts

I've tried to keep a bi-weekly schedule with my Phil's Podservations podcasts, but the hardware is fighting me. I think that my trusty laptop here — the big-and-beefy kind marketed as a "desktop replacement" three years ago — is giving up the ghost. Bad fan, I think. Every time to try to get this thing to do anything computationally intensive (like a noise-reduction algorithm) the machine overheats and shuts down.

I did manage to GIMP a logo. That's kinda cool.

Fortunately, Tim is coming to my rescue. He's going to build me a smarter-than-God Shuttle PC with the latest Debian release and, in case I get scared, XP Pro as a boot option. Enough with the #$@%ing toys, already. I want a computer powerful enough to launch missle strikes with. The ThinkPad that Edelman outfitted me with will be fine for my portable computing needs.

I am mad with power. Mad, I tell you. And I don't even have the computer yet.

Wanted to put a shout out to the folks I met at the LA Podcaster's Meetup. Good times. The infamous LA traffic will probably conspire to keep me from the Orange County meetups you call home, but I'm looking forward to the next get-together.
