Am I counted in the 7 listeners? I don’t remember hearing my name in the last podcast.
Plus do I get t-shirt number 1?

MS won’t drop IE because it might screw over developers? Are you serious? Man, get off the Kool-aide. They would do it in a second if they thought it was good for them. They have a track record of doing it. Its their MO!
Want an example? What about VB6 -> VB.net upgrade?

Am I included in your listeners? Or to qualify as a listener do you have to send a voice message?
May 3rd, 2006 at 2:53 pm
And how do you “install bloglines on a computer”? Are they distrubing the source now?

I haven’t listened to 116 yet, but when I saw the shownotes I had to come visit the site to drop you a line. Sorry I can’t do audio, don’t think my employer would appreciate it. (Prob wouldn’t appreciate the downloading either but hey…)
Can I second Tony? Please count me in.

While you’re at it add me
My excuse for not leaving an odeo comment is that I dont actually own a mic.

hmmm ok. TEN listeners. That’s it. I think that’s enough power for anyone, don’t you think?
May 4th, 2006 at 1:23 am
10?
That makes me nervous. I’ve never spoken to that many people!
May 4th, 2006 at 1:51 am
You guys should shooot for the stars…20 listeners!!!!!!
Oh, and Richard, the U.S. sells many many drugs that could help you with your anxiety, appearently millions in the U.S. are anxious as well, don’t know why though, they don’t host podcasts, huh.

Don’t forget me I am lurking round here as well.
I believe that Cam calls me Ugly Dave? Well Cam with that fucked up eye mate you ain’t no pretty boy yourself! (just jokes mate ;))
Anyway Cam I keep listening and can’t seem to stop, don’t know why - I’ve nearly pranged the ute about three times listening to the show. Cheers Mate top job!
PS - I keep wearing the T-Shirt and I forget to take the photo but eh I will… I have a real job I think thats the problem… I loose my brain when I get home, would’nt you after looking at guts all day?

I would like to comment that I would be listener 11 it looks like from above.
As for IE7, it is my understanding that it is not directly in the Kernel for Vista. So they can take it out. Also I can’t ever see them getting rid of it. As much as we tech savvy people love to make fun of it, you can’t make fun of numbers and they still have the huge majority of people browsing the internet. And before you completely tear it apart take a look at IE7, the security is better, the interface is better, and it they are starting to put in features needed.

I guess I mght have to unsubscribe as my name was not mentioned either, and it would help Rich with his anxiety ;-). If I stay will I be #12 or can I fight Molly for #1?
May 4th, 2006 at 2:37 pm
ok, so lets round it up, and say we now have 20 listeners. So you don’t all feel slighted. Now… if you each tell 6 friends… and they tell 6 friends… and they tell 6 friends… I can retire.
May 4th, 2006 at 6:12 pm
What happens if I don’t have 6 friends?
May 4th, 2006 at 7:57 pm
Michael - start a podcast.
May 4th, 2006 at 8:03 pm
Miriam - well you can ignore the comment I just left on your blog then about coming on the show!
May 4th, 2006 at 8:29 pm
Yea I could do that… Or confess to the fact that not having a mic is just an excuse because I dont count headsets under the category of mics.
May 5th, 2006 at 12:58 am
I’d like to be more than just a number. I’d leave a voice comment, but I had to listen to my voicemail message today and have to get over how bleh my voice sounds…. Give me time, I’ll get over it.
Checked out zoomin and it’s very, very close to what I’ve been craving. Actually it probably is what I’ve been craving and in a while I’m sure I’ll love it. Cheers to Angus for putting it together and to Cam for getting Angus on the show
May 5th, 2006 at 2:07 am
Am I included in that count Cam? Don’t forget the only AZ listener.

Thomas, I’ve been to Arizona! About a year ago. Surreal place. Was like driving through a John Huston film set.
May 5th, 2006 at 2:55 pm

I live up North though in the cool pines, far more agreeable climate than the heat of the rest. I do know what you mean about a John Houston film though I lived in Sedona for a year.
May 6th, 2006 at 5:54 am
What’s this? Your giving out free shirts?!?!?!?
What’s a bloke gotta due to get on that list, or is an auto accident not enough?
