My Foolish Adventure...

Wow!

Yet another interview ;-)

This one perhaps isn't for everyone, as it's an interview about the business side of ScreenCastsOnline and my journey from Corporate IT to running an online business.

I was contacted by Izzy Hyman who runs the great Izzy Zideo podcast (along with some other brilliant podcasts) to take part in a new series with Tim Conley called Foolish Adventure.

 To quote the website:

Foolish Adventure is an affectionate, tongue-in-cheek name to describe bucking the norm.  The Internet has been commercially viable for 15 years, but still many millions of people haven’t taken the leap for any number of reasons.  Izzy and Tim hope to show everyone with an interest — how to actually make that jump.

The content is free and some of the previous episodes have been pretty inspirational, so I was flattered to be asked on to tell my story.

Thanks for the opportunity, Izzy & Tim!

Some other MacBook Air Videos

Whoops!

Just realised I didn't create a blog post for some of the other YouTube videos I did on the MacBook Air! These are a week or so old, but I'm including them here for completeness!

Nosillacast #285 - MacBook Air Old & New

My good buddy Allison Sheridan invited me onto this week's "chit chat across the pond" segment on her weekly tech podcast - the one with an ever so slight Macintosh bias!

I had the pleasure to chat to Al and her her husband Steve about the old and current MacBook Airs, and why the new machine was so well received. Both Steve and I were early adopters of the old MacBook Air, so as well as discussing all the features of the new machine, we delve into why we originally bought (and in my case sold) the original machine and do a comparison with the new.

Thanks for inviting me on Al and Steve, but I guess I should listen in for those outakes you we're threatening to include first!

TechFan #8 - Mac App Store

Thanks to Tim Robertson and David Cohen for inviting me onto their TechFan podcast yesterday.

It made a nice change to do a podcast at a civilised hour rather than the wee, small hours of the morning.

Show SCO0275 - Scrivener - Update for 1st Gen Apple TV

This only impacts anyone wanting to watch this episode on an 1st Gen Apple TV.

It looks like there was an issue with the HD and HD-OS version of show SCO0275 - Scrivener that I published earlier today.

Luckily, the issue only affects people wanting to view the show in the 1st Gen Apple TV. Unfortunately, the HD and HD-OS versions would not play on the Apple TV and in some cases, needed a reset!

Ouch!

Apologies!

I've got to the bottom of the problem and uploaded new versions of the files.

So download the new versions....

Firstly delete the current version of episode SCO0275 in iTunes (again, only if you're using an AppleTV)

Once deleted, right or ctrl click on the podcast title in iTunes and select "Show all available episodes" from the popup menu.

This should refresh the podcast feed and you'll see the new version of episode SCO0275.

Just click the "Get" button next to it to download the new version.

That should sync or stream to your 1st Gen Apple TV and play just fine.

As luck would happen, I tested the new versions of the shows on every device I had last night, including the new Apple TV and all worked fine. Forgot to test it on the 1st Gen Apple TV!

Apologies for any inconvenience.
