  1. Well if it isn’t almost Christmas and a happy 200 - all at once. Congrats in advance on show #200 and may we all still be listening for the next 100 shows.

    You guys just keep getting better at this sh.. - (no no, it just says sh..). I like it, I like it, I like a lot. Although maybe there has been too big a focus on SL recently. But hey, I keep listening - because you’r worth it as the beautiful women say!

    -

    BTW he says (he being me), do you mind including links to the music? I reckon it would be kind of a nice gesture.

  2. Hi Shel and Neville,

    You haven’t seen me here for a while, but I am still listening, you can bet on that!

    I just wanted to point out that since a few months/weeks (?) I am often experiencing very slow downloads for the your podcast file (done manually). And I am not having broadband issues with other downloads. Could it be this “Ripple” thing?

    Thanks and best regards,
    Marcel de Ruiter

  3. Really glad to hear you’re going to keep producing the show twice a week. I have to warn you, though, that cutting it down if you run over might take you longer and be more work than just leaving it at 60+ minutes. It always works that way with writing.

    Of course, if you do keep shows under 60 minutes, it will be that much easier for listeners to burn audio CDs to give to their friends and colleagues who aren’t yet listeners.

    I was wondering whether either of you had an opinion about PRLeap, which I was thinking of using to help publicize a special event that a group I belong to is presenting in January.
