Did you know G’Day World was the very first Australian podcast?
Cool! Thanks guys! My hands stop shaking from GW withdrawls!

Seeing my “chmod 777 web” thing pop back up has been quite amusing. Personally I don’t much care what the heck people call it so long as the code works and what they write is actually useful.
I agree with you James and congrats on coining a term. Make sure you “service mark” it before Tim O’Reilly turns it into a conference! A shame it wasn’t chmod 666 – I think that is much more marketable!
Rich is the perfect straight man. You can always tell if Cam is trying to decide if Rich is trying to take the piss out of him or being serious by the little pauses. It’s comedy gold.
Who needs LOL when we have G’Day World?
so if he’s the straight man, am I the funny one? I’ve always wanted to be funny.
I dunno if your funny. Maybe straight man was the wrong word. Maybe Rich is your Tonto and you are The Lone Ranger.
Ah shit. Great. Thanks Tony. You’ve just given Cam license to call me fucking Tonto.
Well, I guess it’s a step up from a sock puppet.
Richard I think of you more like Brains and Cam is Inspector Gadget. You know, he has all the tools and thinks he does all the work but in reality, he stumbles on to things and you do all the hard work!
Molly
so I always wondered… was Gadget banging Penny? And if so… who is our Penny? Funnily enough, the first woman I lived with was a Penny. She dumped me for a guy we both met in AA. I remember she had her suitcase packed for a “weekend with the girls” and I rummaged through it (as you do) and found lingerie and vibrators. And as much as I liked the image of her and her girlfriends playing with such things….
Yay Molly. Yes your are totally correct. Rich is Spot the ever wise cat and Cam is Henry the bubbing janitor/crimefighter better known as Hong Kong Phooey. Gets all the credit but dosen’t really do any of the work 😛
Ahhhh…now I’m feeling a lot less like an idiot :). Keep those analogies going, I gotta find something other than Cam opening his door to let the wifi in to amuse myself 🙂
I kept thinking my old buddy Fred Nietzsche as you went on about Zarathustra. My favorite philospher in college, love good ol Fred!
Cam, that is sick dude. I thought Penny was his Niece!
Molly
Hey Cam & Rich, I don’t know if you are aware that Freddie Mercury, the lead singer of Queen, is actually a Zoroastrian. Just thought I’d let you know. Great show again guys, pity it was cut short though. Can’t wait for the next show. Cheers, Nathan.
Thanks Nathan, yeah I read that on wikipedia.
