Um …

November 7th, 2008

Part of what we do when we produce a podcast is to go through the audio and remove the “um”s, “ah”, and so on. What you didn’t know is that I save these up. It’s a hobby of mine. (Just kidding.)

Anyways, the following is my lightning talk from ApacheCon US 2008, posted by the request of the audience. So, at the risk of nobody ever agreeing to do a FeatherCast ever again, here it is.

November 6th, 2008

Yes, we’ve been silent a long time, but ApacheCon has motivated me to do some more Feathercasts. I’ve got 8 of them lined up, and the first one of these is a conversation with Paul Querna about what’s coming for the Apache Web Server project.

Episode 45: The Lost Lightning Talks

March 17th, 2008

There are hours and hours of feathercasts that have been recorded, and then never edited, and even a few which have been edited and never posted. This is an episode that I did in Dublin, at ApacheCon 2005, and it features a number of lightning talks. So, listen, enjoy, and come to Amsterdam to see the lightning talks in person, so that you don’t have to wait 3 years for me to post them.

9 minutes, 4MB

Episode 43: Lucene

February 22nd, 2008

In Episode 43, I speak with Grant Ingersoll, on Skype, about Lucene. There’s a lot of talks at the upcoming ApacheCon, in Amsterdam, about Lucene and related technologies. One might even say there’s a bit of a search emphasis. So we thought that getting an overview of these important technologies would be a good way to lead into the conference.
