The West Wing 8th December, 2009 No Comments

I’ve been watching a lot of The West Wing lately – a truly great TV show. I’m only on season 4 so far, but the quality of the acting and sophistication of the writing is truly amazing.
Sometimes nicknamed “The Left Wing” for its political leanings, the show portrays what goes on behind the scenes at [...]

Announcing Podcast Tool 10th May, 2009 No Comments

I download a lot of podcasts. I use iTunes to manage them on my “junk PC” (the one I install the rubbish, but necessary software like Real Player and iTunes, for syncing iPods etc).
However on my laptop I don’t want to be installing iTunes, and a quick search on Google left me thinking there weren’t [...]
