Aussie Geek Podcast

Welcome listeners to the AGP #35! Bit of a lag on this one between recording and posting. Dave is having a few issues with Work/Life balance... But all that aside, here it is! We have some exciting news at the start of the show as well. Knightwise is off somewhere... doing unquestionable things to cows... well that's our line until we hear different. Keith is also AWOL this episode, but we figure he has a note and is excused. If you want to know why, take a listen to the AGP 35!

Yes this is a Sites Applications and Services episode. And in that order because we got in trouble off Cait for calling it an ASS episode... Personally I think she was the only one with her head in the gutter, KD and I were not thinking such impure thoughts :) That said here are the show notes! This episode took longer than expected to get out because my neck and upper back went west and I had a lot of trouble sitting and editing. Getting back on track now but not 100% yet - lets hope that's not far away! Also enjoy the video that we replaced Keith with, decided to embed it below.
