Aussie Geek Podcast #49 :: Going Retro | Welcome to this 49th edition of the AGP. The content for this episode worked out in an interesting way. First up we found that there was a great mix of news this fortnight with b****r all from the big players, that felt like the good old days. We were also practically devoid of any mobile and tablet news and apps, for any platform. To top it off we had a glut of cool web sites and services. So we here at the geek went with the flow and decided it would be a retro edition of the show format with a concentration on great news and sites and services. We also had time to visit the Aussie iTunes reviews as promised. Welcome aboard, have fun this is the AGP going retro!

I should also apologize for not getting the show out a tad sooner as this show is obviously older than the post. Truth is that Dave has had the week from hell. The fridge broke down, the washing machine gave up for good and we dealt with a very sick dog. Unfortunately for our family we lost our dear pet Tess during emergency surgery. That just topped off a s**t week. The family are all OK, even the kids but a pretty tough ride for everyone. That said, no more excuses, here is the show...

Aussie Geek Podcast #041 :: Post Christmas Review | First up I need to make an apology. This episode sound quality is less than optimal, I was having a lot of trouble with bandwidth and the show suffered because of it. Basically I have been having issues for quite some time, the issue has been reviewed by the Telecommunications Ombudsman without any change. Although I can now say that my server has been allocated the title of "congested". Quite frankly "no s**t". This issue is beyond my control and I am sorry we can't deliver the optimal sound quality that your are used to. I have done the best I can, all I ask is that you suffer graciously with the rest of us until the issue is resolved, which could take some time. But what I can say is welcome to 2011! In this episode we review some of the geeky goodness that we acquired over the Christmas break. Thanks for joining us in 2011, we are looking forward to a great year.

Aussie Geek Podcast #27 :: SAS Because A*S Was Not Cool | Yes this is a Sites Applications and Services episode. And in that order because we got in trouble off Cait for calling it an A*S episode... Personally I think she was the only one with her head in the gutter, KD and I were not thinking such impure thoughts :) That said here are the show notes! This episode took longer than expected to get out because my neck and upper back went west and I had a lot of trouble sitting and editing. Getting back on track now but not 100% yet - lets hope that's not far away! Also enjoy the video that we replaced Keith with, decided to embed it below.

Customer Reviews
The Hypatia,Plato and Socrates of geeks,review by Hugh
In the words of the immortal Plato “And what, Socrates, is the food of the soul? Surely, I said, knowledge is the food of the soul.” Knowledge pours from the mouths of Cait, Keith and Dave though the either and into your Ipod, on all sorts of things to do with geeky tech stuff that frankly is way over my head most of the time. That is not a bad thing, as well as being good looking I’ve been gifted with an inquiring mind and so following up on the various information imparted from this wonderful podcast leaves one feeling sated and enlightened. This is the foremost geek podcast about, it is a must listen. Did I mention I was good looking?
