The View From the Quad: Life of a teenage Sci-fi geek
The View from the Quad: A weekly(ish) podcast enjoyed by hundreds of listeners about technology and Science Fiction from the view of a teenager.
Every week(ish) I talk about the latest and greatest in the lands of technology, gadgets and podcasts. Sometimes I have a interview show, which replaces the usual one. On such shows, I interview such famous podcasters as Scott Sigler and JC Hutchins.
Join me as I discover the strangest corners of the internet.

Intro
Watch the lovely music I play in the intro at http://tinyurl.com/235ysk and download a lovely stereo copy
Topics Covered
NEW Section: "Top Ten Thoughts"
In this section I rant for about 3 minutes on 10 seemingly unrelated things. Covered in this edition, the Irish release of the iPhone, people who wear Fake Tan, Will Farral and Roast Chicken, and much more!
The Irish release of the iPhone will suck. Terribly. Believe me, and if you dont, check out http://tinyurl.com/2qq7aw, a Gizmodo UK artical about how us Irish are getting shafted.
Heroes: Volume 1 is a LOVELY hardback compliation of all the Heroes webcomics from Season 1. You can buy it at http://tinyurl.com/39bzwu through Amazon. It is WELL worth it for the Heroes fan.
My mixer board is still down and out for the count. This would be a GREAT time for you to donate your life savings to me through the donation button at http://www.viewfromthequad.com
I dont get many voicemail any more for some reason... And I like the voicemail music. So ring (001) 206 203 4610

Try GotoMeeting free for 30 days! For this special offer, visit www.gotomeeting.com/podcast
Today i talk about quite a lot, and seem to loose my vocabulary about 3/4 of the way through. Grunts ensue.
First on the list of things which MUST be talked about is the movie 1408. I give it a 8.5 out of ten, and think that you simply MUST go to it at some point. Bring something to hide behind!
Next, i bore you lot for about 4 minutes by talking about Formatting podcasts so as they make sense. Do you have a topic you want me to cover in the Tutorials section? Email me at cian@viewfromthequad.com and I will cover it if i know enough about said topic.
Next, i speak of the iPod Touch and how it is slowly being killed, before it is even released. DAMN YOU APPLE!
Next on the list are junior cert marks. The junior cert is the first proper public examination which ALL kids have to do. It tends to result in lots of boasting.
And lastly, Dumb girls. WHY do some boys seem to fancy only dumb girls? I do NOT get it. This actually annoys me.

Firstly, sorry about talking so damn fast. I had a lot to get through, and a limited amount of time to get through it.
I spoke about lots of things. Here is the order in which i talk about them
Phone calls. The number for that would be (+1) 206-338-2392 Call it now, and call it often.
Religion classes and Sex Ed. These two things dont go together. Listen to find out why, with a lovely reenactment.

Tutorial time!
If you are using a Mac and have been having problems with your USB audio interface since the update to OS 10.4.10 then you will like this tutorial. It is all about the problems which Apple have been having since they updated Core Audio. as of 10.4.10 Core Audio now is incompatible with USB audio interfaces/mixers/whathaveyou such as my Alesis io|2. Here is how to fix it until Apple fix it!
Here are the downloads mentioned:

32627 VFTQ 62 - Billibub Baddings Exit Interview
Episode 62 - Billibub Baddings call in show
Welcome all you people. This was my first Live podcast, and I would like to thank all you hardcore VFTQ fans who joined in the live feed to listen. I would like to thanks all the Tee Morris fans who took the time to pick up the phone and join in! It was amazing, and me, Tee Morris, Leann Mabry kept having these little Giggly moments. I for one could not believe that this was happening.
So, It happened, but it did not go entirely as to plan.
Due to this being my first live podcast, I fucked up the sound for the first 10 minutes or so when you might be able to hear a lot of typing noises. After that, there is the odd piece of static in the backround, but you can still hear the questions. There were bits where I had to edit out questions and rerecord them myself.
All audio problems were my fault, and I would like to say sorry about them. Tee will shoot me. :D Thanks to Big-O for helping me get this thing off the ground. Without him, the audio would have been a hell of a lot worse, and Talkshoe might not have known what hit it.
The T-shirt "Tee Morris: You are Muted" is available at http://www.spreadshirt.net/shop.php?op=article&article_id=5167557&p=1 . Buy it and wear it any place Tee Morris might show up.
Visit me at www.viewfromthequad.com and subscribe to my podcast, where the audio quality is ALWAYS better then this episode.
Email me at cian@viewfromthequad.com
Please fill in the listener survey and join the mailing list to get information on things which are coming up such as more VFTQ: LIVE shows and competitions.
Do not forget to nominate Tee Morris under the "Best Produced" AND "Arts" categories and me under the "Entertainment" OR "General" categories at
http://podcastawards.com/index.php?option=nominate .
Have a nice day now!
