FreshUbuntu

Alright, the second Fresh ubuntu Podcast is out and this time we had a friend of the podcast that dropped by to give his two cents on a few of the topics. Thanks kyle for dropping by and giving us a hand on some of the news items and I thought you did a great job rounding out some of the issues. We certainly had a lot of topics to cover and a couple of segments that were added to make this an especially long podcast. WE touched on many things during the podcast and among them were items of interest to both Peter and myself. Some Google news, Dell coming out with a ne Ubuntu computer (not available in the USA) and Wubi installer again. Heck, we even talked about Microsoft on a couple of issues, one about MS relenting of the virtualization within Vista, and the other about an upgrade path from Vista to possibly another brand new or should I say re-branded OS. I think Jason Watkins might want to get on the next podcast to add his thoughts on the whole issue. All in all, the links are at the bottom, and I hope that you get a chance to click on a few of them to find out some background on what we were talking about. Since this is the second podcast without editting, Kyle brought up the point that if we had never mentioned the fact that I quit editting in post he never would have given it another thought. I guess I made mistake number one, which is, don't mention any flaws as it may not be an issue anyways! Live and learn. Yet, on that note, the New Years resolution is holding up and I think I am getting a better handle on how the podcast will segment. It should get better as time proceeds, I hope. One issue that I have been trying to get around is this electric interference "hum" that tends to show up on the recording that I end up remooving via Audacity Noise Removal effect. It is a lifesave for sure, but, me being the semi perfectioinist that I am, I prefer not having that hum altogether. It seems to be an issue with the new laptop that I am using to record that podcast on but I am not able to pinpoint the problem. It could be the wires that I am using to connect to the laptop or it could be the laptop itself. I may end up having to by new wires which isn't too bad but then again it just may be an inevitable consequence of the electronics in the laptop. Further research in this area should be undertaken to resolve this problem, where is Scotty from Star Trek when you need him? I guess if you want somthing done you gotta do it yourself. Enough of my rant, hope you enjoy the podcast.
