Linux Reality Podcast Complete Archive DVD Available

Chad

Linux Reality, one of the first and best podcasts for Linux users has ceased production as of episode 100. Chess has decided to end the series for personal reasons and everyone of the shows fans supports his decision. Chess has very recently announced the release of the complete 100 shows along with show notes on a single DVD. All for only $30.

What a great way to say thanks to Chess for everything he has done. Chess and his podcasts are now part of the Linux revolution and every new user should make his episodes part if their learning just like they may buy a book or take a class.

I’ve sent my email to order one.

To order, just send him an email: linuxreality@gmail.com

A couple of Podcast domain names for sale

Chad

Back in 2004 when podcasting was starting I bought a couple domain names that I was hoping to build in to a community project. But it never really took off and plenty of others quickly filled the web. I since pretty much forgotten that I even had the domains until I was looking through my Dotster account recently. I have no need for the domains but believe they have some value, so I’m looking at selling them. I’m not setting a price, but would like to hear offers.

If you have any interest in the domain names, please contact me and let’s see if we can work out a fair price.

A podcast that reboots my iPod

Chad

Yesterday I subscribed to a new podcast in iTunes. I synced up overnight and allowed the iPod to fully charge. This morning I undocked and wanted to listen to the new podcast, but every time I try to play one the the podcasts, my iPod reboots. It happens on every one of the shows I downloaded all episodes from this podcast(about 9) that were available. If I choose a different podcast, everything works normally. Weird. The podcast in question is The Linux Action Show which I learned about through digg yesterday. The show does release in ogg and mp3 format and I verified that the files downloaded are the mp3 ones. Anyone experience this? Or better yet, know why it is happening?

Update 1: Found this. It might not be a problem with podcast, but it is the first podcast I subscribed to since I updated to iTunes 7.02

Update 2: Seems to have something to do with the EQ. Read the comments
