KAZ: Episode 67

Posted on November 26, 2013

Just a little life update. We’re in Chapel Hill for the weekend, and going to spend some time in Durham tomorrow. Also I update everyone on how the Zoom H1 is doing, and on our massive boardgame haul from the MACE game convention auction last weekend. Peace!

My first Zoom H1-enabled episode! I talk about getting the Zoom, about our fun at the Carolina RenFest, and about my forgetfulness in cancelling recurring payments.

Talked about the great time we had at the Mountain Oasis Electronic Music Summit, and at Dylan Moran’s comedy show! I *do* love a story!

I discuss my impressions of SQL PASS Summit 2013, wax rhapsodic about databases and my chosen profession of database administration, and then talk a bit about fun and hijinks at the Carolina Renaissance Festival. At the last minute, I also mention the upcoming Mountain Oasis Electronic Music Summit (where we’re heading this afternoon!), and Dylan Moran’s comedy show in Raleigh next Monday night. It’s a busy weekend!

Note: I recorded and produced this last week (thanks Auphonic!), but with the conference and RenFest weekend (more on that tomorrow), I never managed to *post* it. That Auphonic WP plugin is looking better and better…

Also, sorry for the noises at the beginning; my notes were too close to the microphone. Will try not to do that again!

I go meta for a bit, update folks on the guest room, and then I talk about a couple of RPGs I’ve been reading recently: Unknown Armies and Eclipse Phase. (This leads into a bit of a ramblefest about post-scarcity and such).

Today, I grumble about the government shutdown, and consider starting a clip show to point out inaccuracies and distortions by the politicians playing chicken with the government. Then I turn to Flattr, and talk about my decision to put buttons up on the site for it (and to use it in general to Flattr others). I mention that I will be at the SQL Pass Summit next week in downtow…er, uptown Charlotte…if you’re going to be there, make sure to try and find me! Finally, I talk about the League of Legends championship played last week, and how my own games have gone lately.

I mumble a bit about show meta, talk about the very fun Charlotte Oktoberfest, and then rant about politics…the looming shutdown and the ACA (Obamacare), no less. Fun times. Oh, and I wish my wife a happy birthday!

Feed URL is reset! I redirected everything to the new one, so things *should* be working properly. If anyone is having issues, please let me know.

I discuss the BeyondPod / Feedly integration, and how I need to test some things there. I talk a bit about a crafting technique (pepakura; I couldn’t remember it off the top of my head during the ‘cast) and how I’m planning on using it for Dragon Con costumes next year, I mention Google Coder as a nifty new Raspberry Pi firmware, and I ramble for a bit about the Roku LOL Esports channel! Plus…our games are getting a new spot in the house!
