Hey there Dear Listener - how you been?
I'm having 'Broken Pipe' server problems unfortunately and can't upload anything onto my virtual Podbus Servers at the moment, not 'Letter to America - Chapter 23' which is ready to go, nor a whole new bunch of photos. Gosh darn it - it makes me feel cut off from the world!
Anyhew - just to let you know, my server guys hope to get everything up and running as soon as possible. If you want to look at some pretty pictures why not visit this old favourite:
And if you want to listen to a podcast why not this one?
And how 'bout a movie?
Thank god it's only a 'broken pipe'. I thought the Sheen/Estevez clan had maybe kidnapped you from the wrap party.

Joe Estevez was super cool - let's talk about it on Chapter 24.

When it comes to fixing brokenm pipes, are IT guys as hard to find, and as unreliable, as plumbers?
So how about a second episode of Future Fear on Google Video to tide us over. Maybe Orac will make an appearance in episode two?

Reclaiming a lost son, perhaps? I could see that happening, Wayne.

Fast work - you must have called the 24hr IT plumbers. Chapter 23 just downloaded to iTunes.

On the other hand, given the particular type of content, there might not have been a lot of 1s and 0s to upload this week!
It'll win the 2006 Turner Art Prize, even if it doesn't help your chances in the Irish Blog Awards. (Congratulations on shortlisting by the way.)
First time I've got through a 56 minute podcast while brushing my teeth.

then you didn't listen to the whole thing - or you're EXTREMELY SCRUPULOUS about your dental hygine... ;-)

But LTA encourages time travel ... even if it's only with the aid of a click wheel. Your coffee must have been cold by the end.

Hey Alan - I appreciate what you're saying, but you're not getting the full experience if you speed through it...
p.s. the coffee had gone cold by the time I started recording - wanted to heat it up but thought that would have violated the whole 'ramadan/sabbath' vibe...

OK ... I'll promise to set some time aside (next time I'm on the red eye flight to Heathrow would be perfect) to engage in the full-on LTA#23 experience.
Who'd have thought - Jett Loe the fervent Sabbatarian!
