This is the first podcast recorded with my new Blue Snowflake microphone.  Let me know if you like the audio better.

The picture of Andreas is actually a few years old.  He didn’t have a current one.

Stay tuned to CodeRage 4 the rest of the week.  I have two more sessions coming, and there is a lot of other great sessions there too.

CodeRage is going on all week and I still have 2 more sessions to come.

You can watch the video online, or download it to watch later.  I included the MP3 as well, but this is much better as a video podcast.

Let me know if you like these portable formatted video podcasts.

You can follow the progress of Delphi Prism and the MonoDevelop rewrite in marc’s blog and join them in the remobjects.public.oxgene.md-project newsgroup.

I discovered that EKON 13 is also known as Delphi Live Germany.

Follow along with CodeRage IV.

Yeah, this one is a little long.  The last bit is marc and I shooting the breeze for a bit about whatever.

This was also recorded out of order.  It was recorded before episodes 28 and 29.  I lost my original recordings and had to recreate it from marc’s recordings.  We had some lost audio in the call too, but it ended up coming out pretty good.

BTW, CyberEars (the podcast host) upgraded their download servers so we should have faster download speeds.  Let me know if you can tell a difference.  Also I replaced episode 8 that I accidently deleted a while ago.  Sorry about that!
