I just posted a new entry to the FriendsInTech website about optimizing the speed of Firefox using SpeedyFox. This program worked really well for me – highly recommended.
Our FriendsInTech production of A Geek Christmas Story is now available for listening – enjoy and let us know what you think of it. Previous productions are also available to listen to.
As a member of Friends in Tech I”m pleased to announce that we’re doing another Christmas special – this time A Geek Christmas Story- the trailer can be heard here and will be available in the next week or so at Friends in Tech
Just uploaded a new post to the Friends In Tech blog on how to quickly create JPEG files from Raw files – the free utility allows you to save space on your camera card and reduces the time taken to write the files too or just register to download IJFR
Coming out of the Shadows this October 24th (tomorrow)…Fiends in Tech present our 3rd Annual Halloween Special:
“It’s the Great Server Chuck and Kreg”
Convinced that the Great Server will be making its yearly appearance, Kreg refuses to go Trick-or-Treating with the rest of the FiT gang and instead pulls an all-nighter in the server room.
Don’t Miss it!
…and while you are waiting, be sure to revisit our earlier Specials
– The Server Room of Horrors
– The Server Room of Horrors 2006
This is the second year that I’ve played a part in these specials – they’ve been really fun to do. I’ve not actually listened to the whole thing yet either as I’m waiting for the official release to come out tomorrow although I know it will be a good show. Don’t forget to keep an eye out on the main Friends in Tech blog for the release.
I did a short (2 min) audio clip for In The Trenches on keeping up to date with Microsoft downloads. It was fun to do – took me a couple of times to get right and I actually wrote most of the script out first to make it easier. A couple of edits to remove some annoying deep breaths and I sent it to George and Kevin to post. Let me know what you think – podcasting is harder than it sounds.
I’ve posed a puzzler at Friends In Tech about an issue I had when upgrading a NT4 domain to Small Business Server 2003. It will be interesting to see if anyone comes up with the correct answer but also to get some responses from other techs and hopefully it will encourage conversations on the website and forums.
The 2006 FiT Christmas Special, “Lucky the Reindeer and the Island of Misfit Geeks,” will be released on December 18th. I’m playing a small part again, so make sure you check out Friends In Tech on (or before) that date or subscribe to the feed from any of the buttons on the main page.
The Friends In Tech Halloween special is now online. I had the script for a while but I didn’t want to read any of it apart from my section so when I recorded my lines I used the search function to find my name and just read those bits. This way it was funnier to listen to and hear the jokes live. Hope you all enjoy it – you should be able to easily spot my section…..
