You might have noticed that DC was offline from last Friday until today. This was caused by the site exceeding its bandwidth limit. The primary cause was MP3 downloads, or in other words a lot more people downloading the podcast. I’m grateful that the podcast gets more listeners every day, and indeed that the site [...]

The winner (drum roll, [...]

Starting today and over the next four days, I’ll be at the 2010 Great British Nationals at the Royal National Hotel in London, England. I’ll be shooting video, recording audio, tweeting text and generally trying to bring you as much coverage from the event as is possible for one person to do! The format for [...]

Unfortunately, show 66 will be delayed for a while. This is because, in the early hours of Friday morning, the power supply unit in the PC that I record on blew up (literally, complete with loud bang and burning smell). I’m working on getting a new PSU, but I can’t say when it’ll arrive, especially [...]
