#37 The Home Tech Podcast: Rich’s Random Podcast Generator Beta
Jul 31st
Warning: Long Show Ahead!
One weekend, Rich O’Neil (and some of tech guys that hang around the Home Server Show Podcast) thought, “what would happen if we just recorded some of the conversations we have around our tech stuff?” The result was this podcast that we recorded on July 31st. Rich’s Random Podcast Generator was born! Interested in your feedback.
We used Google+ Hangout to record the conversation. If this project is successful, we will try it again on it’s very own RSS feed!
We chatted about SSD Drives, RAID, UNRAID, problems with Apple, Android and Windows Phone 7 and much, much more.
Here are some links for the show:
