You most of recorded this before because...
Dennis Ritchie was found dead October 12, 2011

[TechGuy]

Sorry, hewee -- I don't understand. We must have recorded this before what?

The podcast was recorded on the 16th (it says so at the beginning) and we discussed the passing of Dennis Ritchie.

Either way, thanks for watching!

[hewee]

You list "Links in order of appearance:" and I see you have "Dennis Ritchie" listed so thought you had him on your show that I did not watch.

So that is why you did not understand because I would of known if I watched the show.

Hey Mike. Have already posted in YouTube but was wondering if you could add captions. You dont have to do it but you can find someone who will do captions for you so i can enjoy TechGuyTV

[TechGuy]

Thanks, CCM. I just replied back on YouTube as well. Do you mean closed captioning (for hearing impaired)?

If so, and if anyone is interested, please let me know!

[CrazyComputerMan]

You got it!

[TechGuy]

I spent several hours on this late last night (and am feeling the lack of sleep today!)... but I did get about half of this episode captioned. I know there are some typos, but I'll blame that on doing it at 3am. Let me know if you think it's something that would be useful!

[CrazyComputerMan]

Thanks! I will watch before going to work tomorrow

I forgot to mention.... "Nice Hat Dan!!!!"

Sorry Mike, I've missed the last few in person. But I've been catching up of these after the fact.

It might to an idea to run a banner or flashing something the week before (for the whole week) to catch the attention of everyone (me included).
It might also attract more for your audience.

Really, Keep up the Great work!!! I find the discussion informative as well a great chuckle with all the kibitzing.

Ha! I'll make sure to point out that comment to Dan, ucurl. I'm working on uploading the latest episode now, which is with Brian and I.
