Monday, March 12, 2007 at 10:35AM Cool! Another six new Apple "I'm a Mac" ads have just been published to the Apple web site: Link Some more extremely UK based references in this set and some remakes of the US based ads. "Naughty Step" is a bit obscure! Still, great to see they are still producing UK based stuff.
Monday, March 5, 2007 at 8:12AM Yup, On checking my Libsyn stats this morning, we've clicked over the 2 million downloads. This figure is based on the LES - "The LibSyn Estimated Subscribers is an algorithmically derived number that for most users will represent the actual number of unique downloads." The total number of requests is actually 3,666,039 but I'm happy to go with the more accurate 2,000,133. For information, between 21,000 and 25,000 ScreenCastsOnline tutorials are downloaded every week of which a significant part are the back episodes, not just this weeks show. An in case you're wondering why ScreenCastsOnline doesn't often appear in the Libsyn top 20, I figure it's due to the fact that each weekly show is in five (yes five!) different versions and the Libsyn top 20 isn't able to agregate multiple versions of the same show. Thanks to all the Extra! members and the subscribers to the free shows who keep ScreenCastsOnline going by downloading the shows.

Me thinks cause for some celebration in the next 24 hours - less than 3,000 downloads away from my 2,000,000th download! Now if only they were the Extra! membership figures ;-)
Sunday, March 4, 2007 at 1:59PM Thanks to Rich and Bob over at Maclectic BBS for publishing an interview I did with them via email. Email interviews are much harder work than spoken ones!
