The Dick Turpin Road Show

So it feels like there has not been a show for ages? Rumblings and threats of bacon based torture have been made "You stopped doing the show then?" Things have been a little bit out of sync due to Christmas and Matt not having any broadband and then we had FOSDEM 2013 but we're starting to get back to normal.

We should point out that the team was just about to start recording when Matt spotted Shane Marks was on-line (It pays to log into your Skype account if we have you in our list.) So Shane was hijacked from his peace and quiet and forced to come on the show. Shane's sound quality is not the best, he was basically just using his laptops internal microphone but we think it's not that bad actually. As you'd expect it's a bit of a longer show but then the team did have three days of alcohol sodden events to get through.

Once again we would like to thank Shane and apologise for dragging him away from the toe jam picking session he had planned for the evening "Did you ever pick your feet in Poughkeepsie?" (Look it up if you don't know)

And the gruesome twosome are back for another year of fun, sarcasm and downright lies. After spending Christmas on a tropical tax-haven holiday resort Matt collected Pete from the old peoples home to bring you yet more disrespectful opinions and more mind bleach situations.

Matt tells us all about his shiny new broadband and the fact he is living it large with bottles of Asti which Pete rightly deduces was once called Asti Spumante. Seeing as the show has been off the Internet for a while the lads cant resist covering the now ancient story about the Ubuntu phone as it's a good chance to take the pee out of Ubudubu.

Pete and Matt also discuss the sad story of Aaron Swartz's suicide and Pete makes some controversial statements that some people might not like.

It's Chriiiiiiiiiiistmas! And here we are with our last show for 2012 and because we're lazy scrotes we asked some well known community people to send you Christmas messages. It's a bit of a free-fall show this episode as we don't really cover much FOSS as such, we thought we'd break with tradition and just have a good old chinwag.

The answer is 42 isn't it? And Pete plans to ship Matt off with the telephone sanitation workers but only after fixing the roof on his shed. Matt gets the ball rolling with a story about the German city of Freiburg considering ditching Open Office to go back to using MS Office 2007. Matt cant find it in himself to blame them and Pete moans that it will give Linux a bad name.

Linus is worried about udev and Pete totally gets hold of the wrong end of the stick about Gentoo forking it, Pete moans about Google Play Music and the time it took to upload his music folder over his low upload speed. And we hear how the FBI stitched up Mr Dotcom of megaupload fame.

Archie (Woof woof)
For Archie woof woof the guys talk about the different flavours based on Arch and Pete is chuffed that the Arch Linux wiki has a derivatives page.

Happy anniversary Pete, yes it's that time again when you'd best not forget a card, box of choccys and a slap up meal at Kentucky fried chicken as we hear how it's baldies wedding anniversary which leaves Matt thinking "What's this got to do with FOSS?

Given the team are always right these days we move swiftly into a story about a guy who wanted his old cardiology X-rays and instead of paying the £10 standard fee ended up paying £2000 or did he? The Apache Foundation announces the intention to run Cloud Open Office but the lads are not overly impressed with the idea. iMessage, do we care? not really but Matt loves IM so you're gonna hear about it anyway. And we round off this section with a nice family four door 1.8 in red call Martin Werge Nissan who moans about G+ not honoring cut-n-paste.

Archie (Woof woof)
While it's not Arch Linux Pete cant resist kicking some spuds with yet another FOSS statement that just "Says it all really"
You don't have to be a C++ guru (or even know what that means!) to get involved. Pete then reveals how the Arch install wiki tells you to use cfdisk but then tells you it's broken and will cause problems with Grub2, wtf?
