Great show! I was really happy with it overall, the quality, etc.

By the way, the reason I got all strange when we were talking about Genuine Advantage was not what you think Someone walked in my room when we were recording, and I was quietly trying to shoo them away, meanwhile not listening to Jeff.

Also, the one Gmail spooler I was thinking of was long shut down, but I thought there were others...maybe if someone knows of one they could post it here?

perhaps it's just me, but was this episode's volume rather... quiet? I upped the volume through the 'volume adjustment' option in iTunes, but I still had to turn up my speakers a bit.

you mentioned the AIM API, and that you'd link it in the shownotes, but I don't see that link...?

otherwise sounded like a good show. i was surprised at how short it was, but it was a good amount of material and kept my interest throughout. most of it wasn't really relevant to me, but it was still done well enough to keep me listening regardless.

Yes, but when you did, was the sound quality better than past podcasts? We'll get this down to a science eventually.

Oh SNAP! I've added the link.

That's the secret -- make the time fly and leave'em wanting more.
