A Brit Abroad

Good Lord, it s been way too long! Five months since my last podcast. Well, this afternoon I decided enough is enough and I locked myself away in the office to put this together. Of course, I was a little bit rusty and forgot to check all the myriad of settings, so the latency of the audio hardware had somehow bumped itself up to around sixty milliseconds instead of the usual four, combined with the fact that I left the processing effects running whilst recording, resulted in some weird stuttering in the audio recording. Sorry about that. Also, the PC wasn t as isolated as usual, so there s a bunch of hum. Anyhow, you can still hear me, and I m back! So welcome to another edition of A Brit Abroad! In this solo edition I chat mainly about the setting up of the new company - SwitchGear Software. Today s music is by My Morning Jacket , One Big Holiday , taken from the Wired Rip. Sample. Mash. Share. CD. At just over 22 minutes and weighing in at 15.3MB, It s A Brit Abroad!

Yesterday evening I had the distinct pleasure of being the guest host on The Podcast Network s G Day World with Cameron Reilly. It was a blast. We chatted about a bunch of stuff including the new venture, Flight Simulator, movies, tech news and interesting aussie phrases G Day World is probably the longest running subscription I have in my podcatcher, and it was very cool to finally be a part of it - I d love to do it again if Cam will have me :-) Check it out and download it over on TPN

The latest edition of the BritPack is now live! I'm number two in this line up - the theme of which is "10 years ago and 10 years ahead". In my segment I wax a bit philosophical due to the recent birth of my daughter - my appologies... Direct link. Britcaster entry.
