Just a quickie, folks.

We're still alive and have arrived in our new province of Nova Scotia. We're still waiting for some things to settle, not the least of which is high speed Internet. We're on dial-up (BLEAH!) which totally precludes uploading anything as big as a podcast.

Our high speed is being installed soon and then we'll fire a show up.

Hang tight!

We're Moving!

As most of you know by now, KPG and I are moving across Canada. We're leaving Calgary on the 17th to go to Costa Rica for a few weeks and then we're driving across Canada to Nova Scotia for the next couple of weeks after that.

We're going to be recording ad-hoc on the road, but Internet connectivity is going to be so poor that it's unlikely we're going to be able to upload anything.

So, this may be the last post until sometime in September when we can set up shop again in Nova Scotia.

Please don't forget us and keep an eye on your podcatcher in September!

No show notes. Just a big ol surprise!

This is the OGG for show #57.

Apologies for taking so long to get this show up. Between selling our house and recently formatting our recording computer, it was quite a challenge.

Enjoy!

Back next week - promise!

There's a possibility that there will be no show next week either as we have houseguests over the weekend and locking yourself in a room to record a show is just too geeky even for us.

First up, there will be no show this week. I finally received my new(ish) server and I need the afternoon to build the thing. Apologies, but think of all the fodder that will give us for next week's show.

Feeds:

It has become obvious to me that I really should have posted the location of the feeds when we moved over to Libsyn. Apologies on my part for that.

I didn't make a note of it because the "outward" face of the feeds are Feedburner addresses and haven't changed. I just repointed where the originating feeds came from. Therefore, there is NO action required on your part to stay subscribed to either feed. To be safe, though, here are the feed addresses just in case:

OGG Feed:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/TheJakAttackOGG

MP3 Feed:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/TheJakAttack

Forums:

They still exist over under the Purple Podcaster site, but they're dead as far as I'm concerned. They were WAY too much work to manage as our show is apparently popular enough to attract 20-30 new spam accounts per day. It became to hard to manage the user accounts. To that end, we've moved back to plain old comments here on Libsyn. They're captcha protected which should alleviate our spam problem

Archives:

Yet another area I am sucking wind at. Once this server is built I will move the archives over to it. For the moment anyone looking for older shows can grab 'em from the old site.

Thanks! See ya next week :)
