8 Hours W. O. B.

Oh what delights. Virgin Media passing over the delightful news of 8 hours without broadband. At least I can switch over to my T-Mobile data card (which is, I guess, good practice for Conference supplied broadband for the March trip), but it’s going to be a slow day. Upstream is almost non-existant.
But hey, I trickled […]

[March 07] BarCamp Scotland

This is the one that will kick everything off - a lot of work is going into this, and there’s a certain satisfaction that I’ll be returning to Appleton Tower on the Edinburgh University Campus (which is where the event is now being held). Many many years agao I can remmebr wiating patiently for ID […]

To Vidcast or Not To Vidcast

For a long time I’ve been able to look at myself and realise that, at heart, I’m an audio man. I’ve never really given video podcasting a serious thought, mainly because I’ve not been able to get a handle on something that would allow me to do a video podcast with at least some sort […]

[March 07] SXSW Music

Now this is the biggie. Last year, as I left Austin for San Francisco, Austin was gearing up for the annual music festival that is SXSW Music. The nearest comparision I can make is this is like the comedy section at the Edinbburgh Festival. Sure there are other worthy shows on, but if you want […]

[March 07] SXSW Interactive

Okay it’s a Tarantino strucutre, the end first, the second conference second. I think… Anyway, after the pre-credits sequenece that will be BarCamp Scotland, I’ll be landing in Austin, Texas to cover South by Southwest, starting with SXSW Interactive. I attended this for the first time last year after hearing mutterings of people “doing the […]

[March 07] O’Reilly’s Emerging Technology Conference 2007

So I’m going to spend this week talking about the plans for the March USA trip and the conferences I’m attending. And like a good story teller, I’ll start at the end. The last gig of the trip is in San Diego, and O’Reilly’s Emerging Technology Conference. This will be the fourth year I’ve attended, […]

Cameron Makes Me Paranoid over at TPN Rock

One of the great things about my work is there’s very little performance appraisal, which is something I hated when I was working in places like Standard Life (the whole idea that you were expected to do more than you are contracted to do just riles me when it is forced upon you). So it […]

Ewan’s March Dates For Your Diary

Too many people have asked me in the last few days about when I’ll be where in America in March. As you may recall I’m covering a number of conferences for The Tech Conference Show over at The Podcast Network. So here we go..
Thursday March 8th: Land in Austin, TX
March 9th-18th, South […]

Splogs - The Best Friend of a Podcaster

An interseting few trackbacks in the comments feed of the PSP Show have led me to crack down a number of splogs that seem to be using the content of The PSP Show. Now, unlike when Ewan’s Musing was sploggified (thansk to Kathy Sierra for the heads up on that one BTW), I;ve decided to […]
