That difficult second episode…but it’s worked! :)

March25

That’s right! They’ve made it to the second episode of the Ubuntu UK podcast (a.k.a. UUPC).

I was privy to a pre-release airing last night and I was very impressed, having sat through hours of recording time on Saturday… ;)

The show now has its own Twitter ID (@uupc) so that you can follow its progress from recording, through editing, to release.

Enjoy!

And finally….(more pottery pics)

March20

I picked up my final piece of pottery course work tonight. Formally known as ‘Unit 03 final piece’, here are the best of my mugs:

Mugs

Unfortunately, I have ended up with fewer working mugs than people who have hinted they’d like one. And I definitely owe my parents some pottery to clutter up their house after I kept the sunflower planter (a.k.a. ‘Unit 02′).

So my apologies in public (that way you have to smile and say you don’t mind):

“Sorry to everyone who I’d like to have presented with a mug. If I do the course again next year, you will, of course, be foremost in my mind.”

And with that, my pottery course 2007-2008 is over. I’ve decided not to carry on next term because I’ve signed up to learn pole-dancing again. More on that later….

Ubuntu-UK podcast: Episode 1 now available!

March11

The title says it all really.

Some of the guys in the Ubuntu-UK community have released a podcast. And Episode 1 of, hopefully, many more is now available.

Okay, it’s not just ’some guys’. One of them is my other half, Tony (a.k.a. TonyTiger), I know the others, and I was actually present for  part of one of the interviews on there. So my pimping the podcast here is probably slightly predictable. On the other hand, it really is rather good! :-)

So give it a go.

You can download it from the podcast’s funky new site at podcast.ubuntu-uk.org.
