Chocolate

Back in July I tweeted the following:

Best 6 chocolate bars:

1. Cadbury's Caramel
2. Boost
3. Lion
4. Toffee Crisp
5. Chocolate Orange bar
6. Mars

— Joe Ressington (@JoeRessington) July 19, 2015

Isaac told me I was wrong so I decided to send him some chocolate to prove that ours is nicer than American “candy”.

Guns

Isaac owns guns and likes to murder animals with them. I ask him all about it.

Encryption, E-waste and a tin foil test

Snowden, NSA surveillance and privacy.

Subscribe to the podcast RSS feed

What I’ve been up to

I’ve done two episodes of Linux Luddites and two episodes of mintCast.

Chat with listener Isaac Carter

We spoke about the Edward Snowden documentary Citizenfour and its implications for government surveillance and privacy. We meandered all over the place and ultimately felt quite pessimistic by the end of the conversation. Interesting nonetheless I thought and I hope to chat to Isaac again soon.

It’s been 2 weeks but I’ve finally done other show.

What I’ve been up to
Recorded an episode of mintCast about running Android on a PC. Recorded a fairly varied episode of Linux Luddites. Finished the new Knievel Dead album.

The show should now hopefully be on iTunes.

I bought a Raspberry Pi 2.

I went to a GLLUG meeting where the topic of diversity came up. I spoke a bit about that on the show.

I also asked “am I too negative?”

A quick catch up and then a bit of a rant about current events.

What I’ve been up to:

I’ve been in a pretty crazy sleep pattern but I managed to record mintCast 216, Linux Luddites 33 and do quite a bit of work on The Knievel Dead’s new album.

Charlie

It was never my intention to turn this podcast into a political show but having argued about it on the Internet, I couldn’t resist talking about the Charlie Hebdo shooting.

Yet another podcast is born. On the first episode of the JoeRess Podcast I explain why I decided to do this, what it’s going to be about and what I hope will happen on future shows. I use the word “I” because for now at least, I’m on my own.

I recorded the podcast in my car on my new Zoom H4n hardware recorder so the quality isn’t quite the same as I get from my usual condenser microphone. I talk a bit about its pros and cons.

What I’ve been up to:

Linux Luddites 32

What I’ve got coming up:

mintCast 216, Linux Luddites 33 and mixing The Knievel Dead’s second album.

If you want to get in contact, you can email me at JoeRessPodcast at Gmail.

Hopefully be back soon then.
