Great show as ever guys. I will be following up some of the suggestions. I tried Chatroulette a couple of weeks back when it was covered in one of the english newspapers. I was transfixed and engrossed for about 2 hours. Afterward I just felt dirty and weak. I didn’t think I would ever want to go back. But your coverage prompted me to give it a second try, and I lasted less than a minute. I think it is one of those experiences that you don’t regret having, but wouldn’t ever want to repeat.
12GB of ram and no hardware mirror?
LOL@windows_people!
Good quality show again - well done Dave and Cait.
You always manage to come up with some interesting stuff in the sites and services. That Flame art creator was a great.
The stuff to do with PDFs was interesting and I will file away links for possible future use.
The audio from skype wasn’t too bad - not as bad as the knightwise dunny call from a couple of episodes back
Just checked out chatroulette - very disturbing. The first video I saw was a man bouncing up and down on his partner’s foot - the foot was firmly planted where the sun don’t shine.
Oh and EasyPrompter is pretty neat. I have just used it.
btw - wank-o-chat is all over American news.
awesome!
Hi there,
Just found your podcast today and I have to say I’m really enjoyed it. Big fan so far.
Regarding advertt.com site, when I’m looking for a word i simply type in “define:(word)” in google and it runs a massive scan across all the dictionaries. Try it
