Thanks for the coverage of my default_scope article.

As a heads up, the 7 minute abs link has the text of the “new relic notify” link.


Gregg Pollack – March 25, 2009 @ 06:09 PM

Thanks for the heads up Jeffrey, all fixed, and keep up the great work!

You guys are too much. How can anyone understand what you are talking about when we can’t stop laughing!

Thanks for the info and please keep your pants up, OK? ;-)

The podcast has great editing, but you should really roll off the low frequencies on your mics. Try to do a rolloff starting at 70hz and move up to a cut at 120hz.

You need to start using the mac voice synthesizer to say the names again like in the old days. I find it a sorely missed feature of the podcast.

Excellent content this week guys! I think about 4 of the items you covered I’ve been looking for. Keep up the good work!


Jason Seifer – March 26, 2009 @ 03:42 PM

@rob Thanks for the heads-up, I’ll throw a high pass filter on there from now on.

@David We can go back to it, but I’ve been thinking the butchering names and playing our mess-ups was kind of funny.

@Eric @Bille Thanks!

Watir—> water, like “I’m gonna throw my watir bottle at you if you don’t pull up your pants, sicko.”


Jesse – March 26, 2009 @ 07:03 PM

Btw, the link for Hancock-Client page points to Dr. Nic’s RoR textmate bundle.


Gregg Pollack – March 26, 2009 @ 11:55 PM

@Jesse: Thanks for the qualification, and I’ve fixed the link, thanks for the heads up.

regarding Watir - it works great on Ubuntu and FF, not just Win and Mac.
