CaffiNation 419: Cavern News

We are still stuck between a dank spot and dry rot here in the cavern. Once more I had to delay actually fixing it back into a lair for another week. I'm really going to try and work out the bugs and get a new floor down. Living in disarray is bothering me something fierce. Entropy is real and its taking my house with it!

By listening you get a more in depth look at some of the cool articles and concepts we find, and you also get a ton more bad jokes, which as anyone knows is practically the currency that RUNS the internet. So its like getting twice the internet from one site! We are still stuck between a dank spot and dry rot here in the cavern. Once more I had to delay actually fixing it back into a lair for another week. I'm really going to try and work out the bugs and get a new floor down.

For this special offer visit www.gotomeeting.com/techpodcasts (http://www.gotomeeting.com/techpodcasts) --- Today was supposed to be a live show with some new concepts being put forth. I'm still toying with the idea of doing video, I'm just not sure how to incorporate it into the stream around here. Its never good when the IT Guy, the Computer Guru has to spend hours trying to fix his own machines. So this podcast was the fallback position after the live show didn't pan out. There are a ton of great stories and blurbs that made it into tonight's show, and I'm thinking that we are going to reschedule the other special events after I have had some dry runs with the technology involved. That being said the Adopt a NewB day still needs some tweaking. I have Ideas and it might extend beyond a holiday, but I'm asking all of you. What do you think of the concept?
