Geek News Central Podcast #25 2004-12-31

The 25th edition of the Geek News Central Podcast with current downloads averaging nearly 11,000 per show. We are beyond pleased and want to say thanks for listening. I continue to battle background noise and my audio quality is not where I want it yet, without breaking the bank I got to get my hands around this. Have asked for some advice and if any of you are hardcore audio buffs I need some schooling.

Winner of the $20.00 Voice mail contest goes to Chris @ thehumanexperience.typep ad.com

Obviously the events in Asia over the past several of days have been tragic. We are on edge here as we have a close relative that was on vacation in Thailand that has yet to check in. Added to that we have a new family member tonight plus some other significant events it has been a roller coaster day.

Check out the Podcast on the Christmas Money winner? Due to all of the events that have taken place today the Podcast is not as well put together as we would have wanted.

Geek News Central Is running our own
BitTorrent Tracker / Seeder

We are happy to announce the realization of a goal of mine to run our own server side seeder for our Podcast feeds. This puts us in control of the feed and we no longer have to utilize third party services.

This is being accomplished with the pre-release of the newest BlogTorrent application. With the seeding portion being in beta I am sure it isn't a 100% but in the first 12 hours of running it we have been pretty happy.

Those of you getting podcast from us that have subscribed to the .torrent feed need to update your podcatcher clients to pull from this URL http://www.geekn ewscentral.com/torrent/rss.php
