Scott’s back with the podcast novel Infected

martin — Wed, 22 Mar 2006 22:35:59 +0000

My favourite podcast author, Scott Sigler, just released his third podcast novel called ~~Infection~~ Infected. His previous novels, Earthcore and Ancestor, had me on the edge of my (car) seat so I have high hopes for this story too. I am now on a mission to get as many people as possible to experience Scott’s work as possible – so if you are reading my blog, I insist you go to http://www.scottsigler.com/ now and start listening!

—update—
Scott’s novel “Infection” was renamed “Infected” shortly after it was first podcast.

Hot on the heals on Earthcore, Scott Sigler is Podcasting his next book, Ancestor. I’ve been batching up a few episodes at a time and listening to them in the car on the way to work. Earthcore was really good, but this story is even more exciting. Great job Scott, can’t wait to see the movie

Asterisk – Open-Source VoIP PBX

from IT Conversations:

Asterisk is the open source Voice-over-IP solution that everyone’s talking about. At OSCON 2005 Scott Mace talked to Brian Capouch, the author of the forthcoming Addison-Wesley book about Asterisk. Capouch discusses why Asterisk is spreading like wildfire, has hooks for video and presence extensions and why Skype is “evil incarnate.” VoIP is a disruptive technology and can be integrated with other systems such a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) to make them more efficient.

More essential podcast listening. Is it just me, or is Marc Benioff the only CEO in IT that seems to be talking a lot of sense?

EarthCore Rocks!

Site Administrator — Wed, 08 Jun 2005 17:04:15 +0000

I’ve discovered a new Podcast called EarthCore. It’s not like all the amateur radio shows, it’s a talking book distributed a chapter or two at a time as a Podcast. The story is a kind of sci-fi horror with plenty of people comming to not so pleasent ends. It is read by the author Scott Sigler and he makes a great job of bringing the characters to life. Check it out, I can’t wait until the next episode.

GAS LAMP

martin — Fri, 13 May 2005 21:38:14 +0000

This is an interesting Podcast on IT Conversations about how the combination of Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP/Perl/Python (a.k.a. “LAMP”) has become the mostly used web application platform. Despite being one of the biggest supporters of Java and J2EE from the start, I have long been pointing out that most of the web seems to be still running on CGI. Actually come to think of it, this blog is powered by LAMP. Peter Yared interviewed here is from a company that has put together an “Enterprise Grid” enable LAMP product. He reveals a few interesting facts about web application servers – I especially liked the bit about heterogeneous two phased commit.
