Bad Voltage Season 1 Episode 10: Midnight Throne Travels

Good Listening, Bad voltage

Myself, Stuart Langridge, Bryan Lunduke, and Jono Bacon present a new Bad Voltage, in which we discuss:

• Tech conferences — which ones are good, which ones are not, and why?
• Desktop machines versus laptops, and a review of Stuart’s new gorgeous desktop computer from PC Specialist
• Whistleblowing. In the light of the Snowden and Manning revelations, is whistleblowing a good idea, what’s available to protect whistleblowers from problems, and do we need to protect against those motivated by malice?
• Miguel de Icaza, head of Xamarin and past founder of the Gnome and Mono projects, talks about why he was singled out as a “traitor”, what he’s doing now, and how to best work in the open source world
• The winners in the Bad Voltage Selfie Competition! See the forum for more details and all the entrants

Listen to: 1×10: Midnight Throne Travels

As mentioned here, Bad Voltage is a new project I’m proud to be a part of. From the Bad Voltage site: Every two weeks Bad Voltage delivers an amusing take on technology, Open Source, politics, music, and anything else we think is interesting, as well as interviews and reviews. Do note that Bad Voltage is in no way related to LinuxQuestions.org, and unlike LQ it will be decidedly NSFW. That said, head over to the Bad Voltage website, take a listen and let us know what you think.
