The Microsoft Developer Show #3
The MS Dev Show #003- 8th May2005 (01hr 27min 43sec)
MP3 - 30.2MB
Howdy Guys,
I’ve been working around 16-18 hours for the last few weeks so getting the show out has proven to be a little trickier that usual. If anyone has a spare time machine to slow life down and let me sleep a few more winks every night please send me one to Beta Test.
Well Show #3 is now available and finally downloadable as of right now!
So download the show and hear Bill McCarthy and Dr. Pete play verbal ping-pong from Skype to a regular phone line.
Click the link and have a listen to Bill McCarthy, the Visual Basic MVP share his thoughts on VB Past, Present and Future. Bill is one of the longest serving VB MVPs, a seasoned developer and a Fireman all rolled into one.
Well I am off to Seattle in the next 6 hrs; its 3.40am and I need to be up in 2.30hrs. I guess this flight will a one long snooze.
Until the next show guys, happy coding!
Adios Amigos
Dr.Pete

Cool show Dr.Pete!
Will you be making any podcasts while you are in Seattle?
If you are, hope you get some Microsoft people on the show - it would be very cool.

Hi Dr Pete,
I enjoy your shows… but, a big but about the sound…
With todays techon you would think the line reception quality would be a lot more stable with less noise than the sig S/N. I know your guest are EXPERTS, but are they up to date with all the great “free” line com devices and mics… it don’t sound like it to me - I wonder why?
The last one was like a 1950/60/70 outback short wave radio show - after 1:26:00 of this it is just torture.
We are on BB/cable, lets all use it… Please!
However, keep up the good work…

Hi JA,
Yeah its a bit tricky to get the audio at the other to be ok.
It’s taken me a while to find a good mic just for my end. Even now there is still a bit of line noise on my local mic however -which disappears in the final MP3 format. But yeah, not everyone is up with the free comms tools that are out there.
You’ll be please to hear that the shows that I am currently recording (in person) with the MS guys here in Seattle are sounding a lot better. And they are being done on my Tablet PC’s built in mic. 8-)
There’s one more local show left before I start releasing the US ones. So watch this space.
Thanks for the feedback *grin*
Cheers
Dr.Pete
