[Nugog]

Cannot install any programmes onto work PC - which uses all Microsoft software.

Don't want to wait for the transcript.

How does one call into the show? Is it really done live? No that's not possible. How do you call into a show with viable content when you haven't a clue what's being discussed? Is this the universe that's being pulled over our eyes and is there a candy store on the other side in which some kid just ate the last orange one?

As Murg notes, the telephone numbers (and Skype handles) are provided during each episode and is listed on the show's website. You can leave a voicemail which may or may not be used in a future episode, responded to during a Mailbag segment.

Idea and post-production at work on my part (with Maki doing the recording of Wouter's words as was originally said). Glad you enjoyed it!

[I]s there anyway to download the Polycast file?

Due to some technical difficulties I currently only have internet access at work.

Before you say it - I have got permission to use works bandwidth to post here.

But my work PC has no sound/speakers - so I want to be able to download the file - onto my laptop - then take it home to listen to.

And the system administrator will not let me instal i-Tunes on the work PC either.....

Does your laptop have an Ethernet card that you can use to connect to your work's network (as wired or wireless)? If not on one or both counts or you'd rather not, you could download an episode's MP3 from the show's website from your work PC onto a e.g. USB key/memory stick or USB external hard drive. You could then use that device to place it (or play off of even) on your laptop.

DQ, don't get a big head, it wasn't perfect.

For one thing the volume was set too high.

-- I never said or thought it was.

That should be easily addressed I hope: try reducing the volume of your headphones/speakers.

Ok - I must be being particularly stupid today - how do I do this?

I can stream it - but I do not see where to download the entire show and save it.

If left-clicking on an episode title doesn't prompt you for a download location (or automatically start downloading it to a save location), then your browser is likely configured to handle the file itself (which means a cache download where it will then start playing in a media player its been pointed to).

Try right-clicking on the episode title and choosing "Save Target As".

Did you just wake up? My post was totally a joke.

[Nugog]

As was the response.

That'd work.

But not for episode 35 it seems.

Michael called into the show three times during its first season, discussing primarily CivIV on the Mac. His calls and the co-host responses were then featured in three separate Mailbag segments and episodes.

That wouldn't be the Michael who's name you got wrong the first time he called in, is it?
