I’m exhausted. Damn it’s been busy. I’ll spare you the gory details, but I’m working on a bunch of projects at the moment, from capital raising for TPN, through to some podcast consulting projects, software consulting stuff, and other stuff I just can’t talk about. Fair to say I’ve got more plates spinning than I really should have – but at least life isn’t boring.
Here’s a link to the story on hosting providers in case you missed Tuesdays’ Age/SMH.
I know G’Day World’s been a bit quiet lately, but that’s because my days are so full. I’ve got a couple of shows scheduled over the next few days, a couple of interviews with authors that I hope you’ll enjoy.
Meanwhile, Ewan’s Edinburgh Fringe podcast is going insane. It’s on the front page of iTunes in the UK and is getting lots of promotion from The Stage (our sponsors) as well as the official Edinburgh Fringe website. If you haven’t checked out any of the shows yet, I highly recommend you head on over there.
If you’ve sent me email over the last couple of weeks and I haven’t answered it yet, please don’t be alarmed. I’ll get to ya. Just struggling to get to everything at the moment.

Tomorrow (Tuesday Aug 15) you should buy The Age or The Sydney Morning Herald and read the cover story in NEXT, their IT section, about the state of web hosting in Australia. I was interviewed by Nick Miller from Next recently about why TPN hosts our shows out of the Texas. And, no, it’s not because of my cozy relationship with the Bush cabal.
August 15 is also Napoleon Bonaparte’s 237th birthday. I’ll be singing La Marseillaise every hour on the hour and it’s as good an opportunity as any for you to check out my Napoleon podcast. You might learn something, bunch of savages that you are.

November 26th 2006 will be the 2nd anniversary of "G’Day World" and therefore it is also "The 2nd Anniversary of Australian Podcasting" and the anniversary of what-was-to-become-TPN. So I guess we should start planning the party. I’m thinking we should take over a bar or something in Melbourne, take some video cameras, and drink tequila all night. As the 26th of Nov is a Sunday, we should start it on the night of the 25th and see in the anniversary. The event will be limited to:
1. Current TPN hosts
2. TPN listeners
3. TPN sponsors
I’ll be looking for someone to sponsor the event. Preferably an tequila company. Anyone got Sammy Hagar’s number?
So… who’s coming?

Today on the show I’ve got two interviews.
The first is the John Karantzis, CEO of Reeltime, an Aussie start-up that’s just announced a JV with Yahoo7 to deliver movie and television downloads over the net.
Second I chat with Aaron Brazell, Chief Geek for b5Media, about the evolving needs of blog architectures. Aaron’s blog is at TechnoSailor.

Just some of the things you will be hearing on the Edinburgh Fringe Festival podcast in coming weeks…
… The cast of the theatrical version of TOP GUN (a story about a man’s struggle with his own homosexuality) perform a scene featuring Ewan Spence as "Maverick"
… challenged by the world’s 8-Ball trick shot pool champion to a game of pool for ten pounds on the podcast (see photo below)
… the guys who act out all six harry potter novels in 55 minutes
… Hamlet performed on a bouncy castle
Not to mention the coverage he’s getting from The Stage, the UK’s version of Variety mag, which is the official sponsor of the podcast this year and is partnering with us to bring the cast to a much wider audience.

Join Cameron Reilly, the John Romero of Australian podcasting, and his good buddy Richard Giles, while they get all “blokey” with JOHN THE FRAKKIN MAN ROMERO.
Now, if you’re one of those people who just said “who” then… you must vacate the premises within 7 seconds. Your lease has expired. You are an ex-parrot.
If, on the other hand, you said “holy BFG! John The Frakking Man Romero!!!! The guy who brought the world WOLFENSTEIN 3D, DOOM, QUAKE, DAIKETANA and about 96 other games in the last 30 years! The guy who put the id in ID Software! The first rockstar of gaming! The guy who gave us the BFG!”… then you may stay.
Listen in as we chat about
- what it’s like to be Romero
- what made Doom and Quake so frakkin huge
- what he’s working on now with Slipgate, his new gaming company
- the music of Ronnie James Dio
- how he met his wife online
And much much more!
Keep up to date with John’s activities on his blog. And here’s a link to the Half-Life “portal” video from Valve that John refers to. It is the coolest thing I have seen in ages.
PS I’d like to apologize to everyone (esp Garth Kidd who apparently has some deep-seated issues to deal with) for the slurping noises on the recording. But DAMN that was a good Chuppa-Chup. Yoghurt. Mmmmm.
