Thursday, July 30, 2009

on For Mac Eyes Only @GazMaz is talking potatoes for Apples
I was looking at other sound recording software called Boom Recorder. Not sure I have the right hardware interface to connect with it
Garageband still has uses though if I wanted to make an enhanced podcast. Lately though I have been posting as mp3 files. better on Blog
btw I was using AmadeusPro to make the podcast for Mac20Questions. It is multitrack & works good for me amazing it is so cheap to buy.
I wish I could afford the FinalCutPro suite. Although iMovie isn't so bad now though in iLife 09. Getting to quite like it.
listening to For Mac Eyes Only Podcast. Easy listening version of Apple News. Talking about - Why switch to a Mac?? Makes sense for sure
The interview of @Britmic will also be featured on Video 20 Questions http://video20q.com. Ready for listeners tomorrow perhaps
Got the latest Mac20Questions podcast interview of @BritMic finished editing. Started to make into Podcast for http://mac20q.com. yippeeee!!

What does an Evertonian do with his Mac? James Topping tells all http://ping.fm/94LvP I am a Mac in Liverpool

What does an Evertonian do with his Mac? James Topping

I am loving doing this podcasting because I get to talk to a whole pile of excellent people. In this podcast I was talking with James Topping who lives in Liverpool but has the sense to be an Everton fan. I like blue what can I say??

He tells me what he does with his Macs and about how they get commandeered by his children. Not sure I believe that though, the evidence on his Mac Book Pros suggests he is a TellyTubbies fan.

GotoMeeting sponsors Mac 20 Questions

James is keen to upgrade his computers one by one and has a notion that upgrading in time for Snow Leopard will be a good idea seeing as Snowy will be leaving behind the Power PC users. It had to happen at some point in time. Apple is a forward looking company and will not let itself be hampered by the legacy stuff, in the same way as Microsoft is held back by that sort of backwards compatibility issues.

In my ramble I talk about why I am pleased to have Godaddy onboard as a sponsor. I use the service and have done for a long time so it is the first name on my lips when I am asked about web hosting and domain names. With the installation service of applications like WordPress, Joomla, Wikis, Forums, and things like photo sites it makes it very easy.

The only thing I don’t like is the way they like to up sell you on all of the steps you go through to get to paying for your purchases. Not a problem if you know what you want, although the default option is always no to the upgrades, so you can’t get tricked into buying more. if you want to get hosting and you want my help then let me know and I can guide you through it step by step on Skype or IM.

@JustingByrne I don't agree with you about the GreenPeace. It is because of these pressure groups that things get done that need doing.
