The half-arsed half episode!

Clock and calendar silliness; the Queen’s Birthday isn’t the Queen’s Birthday; Queen Elizabeth’s mugshot on Australian coins; blogging about FreeBSD desktop background managers; the de facto one episode a month show; people whinging about too many blog posts; Zombie Plan on useless tweets; MannyTheMailman’s brand new air conditioner; Asia Pacific being ahead of Hawaii; iPhone Apple WWDC speculation; Neal O’Carroll and I suing for the iTelephone name; Elke’s lack of tweets; the world is flat; illegal Dutch pot scenarios and zombies eating skittles.

The pointless OS rambling episode!

Recording shows at 03:45am; bizarre South Australian and Indian timezones off by half an hour; installing operating systems in virtual machines, VMware Fusion, VMware Workstation, Parallels Desktop, VirtualBox; getting your hands dirty with real partitioning; choosing from FreeBSD, Draco GNU/Linux, OS/2 Warp 4.x, BeOS, DR-DOS, FreeDOS, NetBSD; why it’s a great time for OS enthusiasts to be alive; and why this should really have been filed under Rubenerd Unplugged and not made into a proper show!

The useless Rubenerd 22nd birthday episode!

A full show will be done by the end of the week, but I wanted to do a show on my birthday. Cool timezone checking site, blog post about the big two two, camera phones, purchasing music from Whole Wheat Radio, birthday lunch at Brotzeit, UPS shipping, FreeBSD and a convenient apple juice handle.

Featuring Elke Schade as a Kmart announcer.

AFTERWARD: I noticed after uploading that the music is a bit too loud compared to my voice for the first 10 minutes or so. I will remember to check my levels more carefully next time!

Recorded by a very tired Ruben at 5:55am! Talking about time travel, timezones, Whole Wheat Radio morning rants, life advice from Jim Kloss, flawed star ratings and what time of day my brain switches on… hint: it’s not on yet!
