CaffiNation 460: Spooky Fun

So we have a very dense show tonight, a little on the heavy side with privacy concerns and why a program allowing amateur hacking is a good thing in the long run, as well as some utterly and completely silly nonsense. It all depends on what part of geek culture you hail from but i seriously think we have all of our bases covered on today's show. So sit back and enjoy the ride.

Its probably going to run short because i can't talk too long, but i did this to myself, well Bud Selig, and My internal body clock conspired against me. Beyond the lingering affects, or foreshadow, I can't decide which. We culled the topics down to a more manageable level. I'll try to talk a bit more on some of the fun that comes across the desk but the next show is going to be chock full of rapid fired content. Sponsor: Try GotoMeeting free for 30 days!

In work I need to test the software students might come in with, and our design application had a notoriously bad time prepping versions for Vista. So this time around i wanted to do a blanket test to see what might happen to the different high end applications we run. At home the machine was in dire need of a refresh. And this staved off the inevitable for now. I'm working on a post to cover what happened but overall I'm impressed in a way I was nto expecting to be. All of that being said This episode has some scary fun stuff in preparation for Halloween. The usual assortment of costume and pumpkin articles are coupled with some awesome DIY Ideas.
