I just got back from meeting one of our listeners and was preparing for recording when I found this:

http://audacityteam.org/wiki/index.php?title=Managing_Computer_Resources_and_Drivers

We had some issues with skippage back in the last recording and I was trying to come up with ways to reduce the quantity of data being recorded without reducing the quality. If you ever come across this issue yourself, I recommend checking out their site. They have a lot of suggestions that make sense. You’ll see how it turns out with Episode 71 :).

Oh ya, any listeners in the Houston area that want to meet up, just drop a comment or email me at dave@imbleedingprofusely.com.

Well, of course, the now obligatory logo update for Season 8 (click to enlarge to 600×600px):

I liked the colors of the image, didn’t really like the now aging PCP logo so I decided to use the Jokerman font we used for our website in the logo. One of these days, someone with actual creativity and art talent will make the PCP logo :D. Besides, the beach kinda goes with the whole ongoing Plover discussion.

Season 7 seemed to gravitate towards addressing major issues in the Pagan community. I think it’s kinda cool that the season actually had an overall theme to it. Moving on to Season 8, I believe we may gravitate towards discussions of metaphysical practices. This was always a taboo back in old Pagan study but I think it’s time we start discussing actual metaphysics beyond Paganism 101. Okay, we’re not that bad… we’re on Paganism 151. Maybe in Season 8 we can finally discuss Paganism 201.

Oh ya, I still want to do my damn Pagan Fundamentalism Episode! I’ve been planning that since fricken January at least. I was supposed to do that with Serenity at Witch in the City however she has since focused her efforts towards the Path of the Wise Ones. I have a good friend on the forums (a former Houstonian IIRC), I’ll see if I can talk her into being on the episode as she’s absolutely awesome with curbing fluffdom in a non-aggressive way so she may be able to share her interesting insights with the rest of ya’ll.

After a hiatus while Dave was moving to Houston, we’re back on the air. This week we have Lupa and her husband Taylor Ellwood on the show to discuss the current situation with publishers of Pagan and Occult books as part of the ongoing controversy surrounding Amazon.com. Oh ya, and there’s more fun within, enjoy!

Editor’s Commentary:

Must find new method of recording… preferably a cheap hardware-based method that actually will work. This recording was plagued by very numerable failures of recording: Skype Recorder just randomly bombing out at times, GCast randomly disconnecting etc. *sigh* It’s frustrating.

On the bright side, we only lost 5 minutes of audio throughout the entire 2 and a half hours of conversation; the first 30 minutes and last 50 minutes were not part of the recording. That was far better than expected. I guess I’m thankful for software that doesn’t clean up after itself during a graceful exit for once and keeping the pipes open to let audio flow into wav files.

The audio quality would have been better if Amber wasn’t washing her dishes for the first 20 minutes. Other than that, no major complaints.

Overall I think the episode went very well despite us keeping Lupa and Taylor far longer than we expected. Yay intriguing conversation despite technical difficulties! We already are planning on doing another show with them in a few months. As always, if you have anything you wish to have discussed on that episode, just drop a comment or edit the wiki entry yourself at: http://imbleedingprofusely.com/docuwiki/doku.php/second_episode_with_lupa_and_taylor.

Hopefully we’ll be back to our weekly schedule now that I’m settling into Houston.

And now an episode recorded without any catastrophic failures: Episode 66 of PCP is now available, with more geekiness as requested. Check it out at ImBleedingProfusely.com/shows/pcp/66.

As mentioned on the show, we are scheduled to have Lupa and her husband Taylor on the show for our May 17 recording. For information on what we plan on discussing or to add anything of your own, check out the wiki entry for that episode.

As I am in the process of moving to Houston, this will be our last episode for a couple of weeks.

The static… ya, that’s totally Amber’s phone. Listen past the end of the show for bloopers and funny things said before the beginning of the show.

Episode 65 is now available. You can download show notes, listen to or whatever at ImBleedingProfusely.com/shows/pcp/65.

Now for the commentary….

We lost my audio for the first 20 minutes of the program, so that’s all reconstructed based off memory since GCast lost that as well. As for the rest with the crappy audio quality, I blame microphone enhancement by Microsoft Windows Vista (fucking Vista). I disabled that to get the clear audio you hear in the first 20 minutes. Sorry about that. It’s all good now :).

I’ll be out and aboot today, but I think it’s safe to say that today we will pass 51,000 downloads (50,996 as of writing)! We just past 50,000 downloads not to long ago :).

Thanks all for listening!

I promise, I wont make another one of these posts until we reach 60,000 downloads.

I just had to do system restore to get my lappy up and running. Turns out it wasn’t the hotel’s network that sucked, just my laptop got infested with spyware. You know how geeks are “Me, spyware - NEVER! How dare you suggest such a n00bish mistake!”… from the folks that bought you “Ooh… so if you turn it on, it works?!” as Ashlee can attest to - ROFL.

I’ll keep posting updates regarding if we will be able to record this weekend or not.
