This episode was nearly called "Two Sweaty Men II" as it was a very hot Sunday for a change. Pete and Matt seemed to struggle on this one a bit although as per usual with tdtrs the end result is far better than the team realised while recording it. Pete starts out by bitching about his stupid idea to upgrade to Ubuntu 12.04 even though he swore blind in episode 28 he never would and the unusable pile of lard he ended up with!
Matt is totally mystified as to why Pete has put a story about Kodak's reactor into the warming up slot and then sucker punches him when he gets all excited about O.A.D with an amazing display of disinterest. Good friend of the show x1101 helps us bring back "I hate your blog" and "Room x1101" gets an outing too with Matt wanting to do away with Kickstarter with things getting slightly heated.
The team are dumfounded at the lack of feedback, but quality over quantity prevails as this episodes postbag produces probably the most interesting part of the show. Matt and Pete discuss the deletion of the tdtrs wikipedia page and Pete flies off into a rage and a readers email gives us this shows title.

Remote Notifier
http://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=org.damazio.notifier&fdpage=6
This app allows you to send notifications over local wireless, the Internet
(via UPnP) and bluetooth. It even allows you to encrypt the information so
some other bastard can't read it! There's also a ton of options to customise
the notifications....basically just install it already and try it yourself!
WiFiKeyboard
http://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=com.volosyukivan&fdpage=8
This app lets you control your phone via your computer keyboard. It works
pretty well, but someone needs to send the developer a patch because some of
the keyboard controls are shit!
Also if you want a good music player check out Vanilla Music, it's a no
bullshit music player which looks pretty nice (It follows the ICS design
guide) http://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=org.kreed.vanilla&fdpage=8
