Your 'rap' was surprisingly good!  I was certainly not expecting it.

In my opinion, the Humble Bundle is a great idea - I have been supporting it for a while now, it has amazed me how open the system is for abuse - you could easily pay $0.01 yet still people manage to pay what they genuinely think the games are worth.

I really like the new version of GIMP, especially  the single window mode- I have been using it for a long time, due to not being able to afford Photoshop, and also not having a very powerful computer.  I tend to use it for laying out designs for websites,  If you can't find someone to write a guide, I will gladly write it although I am probably not your best candidate, due to using GIMP only for quite specific tasks.

Thanks for answering my question - it was very interesting to hear.  The reason I asked was because, although  I predominantly do freelance programming / web development, for a while I found myself blogging, until the site closed down.  So I was curious as to whether you had always wanted to become tech bloggers or had 'stumbled' across it, like I had done.

Thank you for your superb episode as usual, and it certainly seemed much calmer without Dave!

Hey,

Thanks for the Movies.io coverage. Glad you like it.Frederic,

Humble Indy Bundle has 8 games in the current package - three got added after the bundle launched and anyone who already bought it get them added to their downloads.

I used to use meebo. It was really good while I needed it, but that was when I was at uni and I didn't want to have my chats logged on their computers.

Stuxnet is surprising. Up until now, no western government has shown being that technically ept, as shown by almost every technology and IP related law or bill they try to pass.

School of Rock was a FANTASTIC film. Consistently funny all the way through.

The little I've used of GIMP 2.8 I've liked it, it's fixed a lot of things that annoyed me about it. I haven't tried single window mode yet though. If find myself moving the viewport and docks fairly regularly, so I'm sure having them static would annoy me quickly.

I do find gimp is pretty complicated to use, but I've used Photoshop trials and they've been more complicated. Learning to use Google is much more important to use a particular program.

Hearing you guys talk about how you got into tech reminded me that I always feel like I was born at the wrong time. If I was born 10 or 15 years earlier, I would have been a teenager when there was this huge rush of technology, innovation, hacker ethic, and great music.

Great podcast guys! However, I have to say...I think I miss Dave's silly responses too. I appreciated James' attempt at "die in a fire" but it's just not the same, haha.
