Larking about on Mac 20 Questions

Click on the image to hear the podcast

In this one we had newcomers to the meeting in Matt Bleasby, Alice Saunders, Simon along with the stalwarts of MarkDalton, Pat Mahon, GazMaz, Legion11, Michael King, Robyn Saunders, Mark Sheppard, Jane73 and ElaineGiles. I should have kept a list of who was in there because I know I have forgotten someone at the moment.

The sponsor of the show is GoToMeeting



There were others who told me afterwards that they meant to be in there but missed it. Oh Well next time. The room was full this time anyway.

I mention the Out Of Office Web drama which is available for you to watch now. Please support @SplatEric in his writing endeavours by checking that out. I watched it and enjoyed the first episode.

I should say that this was a nightmare to edit with some extraneous noises in the background with some of the guests running what sounded like a washing machine and others tapping things while listening to the others. I will have to look at organising it better from the audio end of things. Still not so bad after the editing and worth listening to.

Mac 20 Questions Podcast Matt Bleasby

Click the Picture to Listen to the podcast

Matt Bleasby is a web site development and designer. He is starting to head in the direction of using php in his web development work. He will design a site in Photoshop and then chop it up to put in the web application.
and you can find him on Twitter too. As you can see from the picture he likes a half pint.

Matt is currently looking at creating a FindMattBleasby website that links to his company as well.

Sponsor for the Show is - GotoMeeting



He is a fairly recent switcher and has XP on the MacBook as an option but has not used it since putting it on. I think he will possibly be dumping that off when he wants to get the space back taken up by Boot Camp at the moment.

We talk about Apple TV because Matt told me he would like one. I personally think that the Apple TV should have a TV tuner included in it to properly have a right to be called Apple TV.

I talk a bit about my previous life as a designer and sign writer in Ireland, how I used to get annoyed by the comments of other designers taking the mickey because I used CorelDraw on a PC to do my desgn work.

Matt like the idea of having video recording with the iPhone camera. You can record video now but you have to jailbreak the iPhone. Don't fancy jail breaking mine. Talking about the iPhone I found out the other day that Movistar / telefonica are not the sole provider of the iPhone here in Spain now.

Podcasts

Matt doesn't listen to many but I mention Are we Alone by the SETI institute and The Maccast and I think Mac Break Weekly.

Amongst sites recommended Deviantart. You can buy art work from there. matt tells us how he avoids getting spam on his email address.
