Just downloaded this edition using Bashpodder and got the mp3 come down the wire 14 times! Second time this has happened – did it last week as well.
This is something that WordPress is doing to “help.” I have looked for a way to fix it, but because they automatically generate the RSS feed from the posting I can’t change ow it’s done. One of the down sides of not running our own site.
Welcome to Raleigh, Scott!
Congrats Scott on the new job.
Hi Guys, thanks for a great show.
Good to hear you’re fixed up with the new job, Scott.
I was very interested in the comments on the LMDE update. So it looks like I won’t be updating my wife’s LMDE laptop.
I much enjoyed NoMasterYoda’s input on the RPI. I know they’re used in amateur radio applications so it’s on my shopping list.
PS
I hear Tuxradar has ceased to be. Sad.
