Announcing 5 Minute Interviews

Step up to the mic!

If you’re a Christian podcaster and you’d like to get a little exposure for your podcast then you’ve come to the right place.

I’m beginning a new segment in my podcast called “5 Minute Interviews” where I play your responses to these 3 questions:

• What’s the name of your podcast and when did you start podcasting?
• Briefly, what’s the main focus of your podcast?
• Where can we learn more about you and your podcast?

So here’s how it works: you email an mp3 file (256 kbps/32-bit sample rate/44100Hz) answering these 3 questions. You get 5 minutes to answer these questions and say anything else you like. Your response to these questions should be conversational and not just straight-up answers. I will not be editing in myself asking you the questions. In the email include your name, a brief bio and description of your podcast and any links you mentioned in the audio. I’ll place your “interview” in my weekly podcast. It’s first come, first served so get your files to me soon.

Thanks for listening and thanks for sticking me in your ears!

Send your files to geek -at- jesusgeek -dot- info right now!

How To Survive IT Lockdown

As a systems administrator IT lockdown is very important to me. Why? Providing a stable, reliable platform for people to perform their job makes everyone’s life easier. Technology should be transparent, an enabler, not something that a user dreads. IT lockdown helps with that goal. It’s understandable that users want more freedom with their computers. They want to be able to install “fun stuff” on their computers.

Let’s face it: you’re at work to do work not chat with your buddies, get a higher score in Bejeweled or maintain your blog. Instant messengers, browser tool bars and games make for an unstable system and when a technician needs to fix a problem it can add a level of frustration that would make a nun cuss.

So it’s with great trepidation and a word of caution that I recommend the following:

What is a podcast?

This is an excellent video produced by Common Craft that explains a podcast in plain English. A nod to Michael Geoghegan for finding this gem.
