The uber geeks http://theubergeeks.net Three geeks talking about what they love. Mon, 01 Sep 2008 09:16:22 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.1.2 en TUG Radio Episode MacBook love/Gay geek? http://theubergeeks.net/2006/06/01/tug-radio-episode-macbook-lovegay-geek/ http://theubergeeks.net/2006/06/01/tug-radio-episode-macbook-lovegay-geek/#comments Thu, 01 Jun 2006 23:16:15 +0000 Josue Salazar http://theubergeeks.net/2006/06/01/tug-radio-episode-macbook-lovegay-geek/ Colin Devroe, Mike Stickel and Chris Fehnel join Josue Salazar with special guest Erin R. on an all new TUG Radio episode.

In this show we cover some interesting topics, from Colin’s new MacBook, and the 9rules 4th submission round to my possible gay inner self.

This episode is brought to you by the 9rules Network, ChanceCube and ScreenFlicker

As mentioned above, Erin R. guest stars as the feedback girl, she blogs on gringuitica.com and is planning on moving to Costa Rica in a few months. She has a very sexy voice and we don’t care if you get this episode just to listen to her.

Chris Fehnel came on almost at the end to say hi and plug the Songs of the Week. He had been absent in the latest episodes for some reason. Overall it was a funny episode and I was the host this time so you will definitely laugh your ass off listening to this. Somehow my sexual preferences became a topic, probably started by this controversial screenshot on my Flickr. Also of mention, is that Colin gave us some inside scoop on the 9rules 4th submission round, so if that’s your thing, make sure you tune in.

As always, we love feedback, so if you have anything to say, email us, or leave us audio feedback on Odeo.

Devroe with special guest Mike Rundle on an all new TUG Radio tonight on FOX!.

In this show, we cover some exciting topics starting with some inside scoop about the upcoming 9rules submission round, a different look at the May 1st CSS Reboot, a call to help a friend who got robbed, new awesome music, and we cover our new audio setup, which inspired the name of this episode.

This episode is brought to you by the 9rules Network Submission Round 4.

As mentioned above, Mike Rundle guest stars and drops a few bombshells, from what we should expect on 9rules design wise in the next few weeks, to the gay porn site he designed. Or not, you’ll have to listen in to find out.

This episode is a bit different, we used Skype and Audio Hijack Pro so the audio quality is higher (or should be at least), but we also had some issues, the biggest of them being that after 18 minutes only Colin’s voice was recorded. But you won’t notice, because after some sweet love making in GarageBand, I managed to add my voice. There are also a few easter eggs in there, to make up for our non existent Easter Egg Episode.

As always, we love feedback, so if you have anything to say, email us, or leave us audio feedback on Odeo.

Anyway, this time I join Colin D. Devroe to obviously apologize for my screw up, but more importantly to sing together a James Blunt song.

I should mention, this episode is hilarious. Seriously.

Devroe to discuss the software that will change Apple forever.

We tried not to repeat what everyone already knows and in the end we touched some very good points. There aren’t show notes this time since this episode is just about Boot Camp, but below are links that will come in handy while listening.

Well, we had done a few internal testing podcasts and so our internal number does not match our external number. So, in order to confuse you, and stop confusing us - we are now caught up to where both internal and public episode numbers match up.

In Episode Four we talk to Chris Coleman of CrapFilter.net. We talk about what CrapFilter is and also go over a few of the stories that were on the frontpage of CrapFilter.net when we were recording the episode.

We’d like to thank Chris Coleman, and all of the staff at CrapFilter for all the hard working they put into filtering all that crap.

Not sure why it doesn’t work - but we’ll get it straightened out asap. If anyone has any experience why this wouldn’t work automatically, contact us in the top right hand corner of our site.

Still working on it. Sorry - I am really not sure why WordPress doesn’t pick it up, even when I’m forcing it via a plugin that seems to work for other people.

Got an email that said “use MP3″, and I might go that route. But it would double the size of our files by using MP3 even when I crunch it way down. Ugh, now I know why podcasting is difficult.

All good now, you can now subscribe and it will all work. Even in iTunes, enjoy.

TheUberGeeks, Mike, Chris, and myself would like to announce TUG Radio. TUG Radio will generally cover the topics that we write about on TUG on a weekly basis, so if you don’t have the time or ability to read all of our articles, here is a way that you can catch yourself up.

The first episode is a little over an hour, where future episodes should average about 40 minutes. If you’d like to subscribe to our podcast, you can do so by searching for TUG in iTunes, or by manually putting this feed in.

We recommend using iTunes, or your video iPod to listen to TUG Radio, as you’ll be able to take advantage of chapters, and the changing artwork as the topic of the discussion changes.
