Olsen! Olsen! Actually you can call me any name you like as long as you keep saying nice things about my book.

Thanks for the kind words – I enjoyed the podcast.

Comment on Season 2 Episode 2: IronRuby at FOSDEM – Ivan Porto Carrero Interview by Billy Stack

Excellent podcast. Very excited about this whole IronRuby thing. Especially interested in the way Ivan explains that “mocking” is much easier than e.g. Rhino Mocks. Currently in the .NET space, introducing any mocking code into a test substantially clutters the readibility. Ruby/IronRuby based tests will hopefully solve this.

Hi Conor,
Apologies for the delayed reply! There won’t be any more episodes between now and then – otherwise, I’d have certainly given we a mention!

All the best with the DrupalCamp,
Dec

Great work!

Illuminating and insightful:

RTE need to step up to the plate when it comes to releasing Free software before they become the laughing stock of the international broadcasting community – along with: CNN and ABC and NewsCorp and MSNBC.

Cheers for the feedback folks! Mucho apreció.

I was wondering how to pace the speech. I did a few trials speaking slowly but it came across a little flat and deflated. Kind of like a cricket commentator on a rainy Sunday!

I’ll slow it down for the next episode and if it starts to sound like the boring monotonous priest in Father Ted we can get a couple of Cork people on to liven things up

Short-cast is a good idea, but can you slow down your rate of speech? Even though I’m from Cork I still found it hard to keep up

Alright Declan? David Wilson pimped your show to the BLUG-chat list. As he said, good to have “open source news with a local accent”

Some suggestions / requests for you, if you’re taking:

- Please choose a sane filename format, for those times when we can’t sort by ID3 info. Something like CM001_ would be better before the short descriptive title than just 1_.

- Well formed ID3v1/2 tags would be lovely

- Fair enough if you only mean to aim at locals, but having been over in England studying of late I reckon you could stand to slow your pace of speech just a little sometimes, for the benefit of everyone who’s not from here!

Lookin’ forward to hearing more. I agree with Jaime above the bulletin format is nice. Discussions with guests are good too, maybe you’ll mix it up a bit as time goes on. Well done for starting, all the best!
