Anyone listen to MacBreak Weekly? Or any of the TWiT podcasts in general?

FunkPnut · 03-16-2008, 06:22 PM

I listen to these podcasts:

TWiT
Net @ Nite
The Tech Guy
Cranky Geeks
Security Now!
Diggnation
Buzz Out Loud
Macbreak Weekly

I don't listen to Macbreak Weekly very much anymore because I can't stand Merlin Mann.

Ahhh a fellow Leo lover lol Have you been a fan since TechTV/TSS or you just started with the podcasts?

I think Merlin's great. I love when Calacanis is on TWiT..and apparently he's the most hated regular guest. Different strokes though I guess.

I've been a fan of Leo since the TechTV days. He's the one that really got me interested in technology.

He's been putting together a studio to do his own shows, so hopefully we'll see a little bit of the Screen Savers in there.

I'm still mad about TechTV's demise, but I'm really impressed how well podcasting has taken off.

The problem is, I'm like 30 episodes behind...

Yeah I'm really excited for him can't wait to see the end product.

What do you mean by 30 episodes behind?

FunkPnut · 03-17-2008, 06:52 PM

I usually listen to podcasts at work all day. A great to stay up to date and get some work done.

But as of late, I haven't been working at my desk very much, so I have about 30 episodes of podcasts that I haven't listened to yet.

Any suggestions on other entertaining podcasts?

just my $.02... VLCplayer and DivX player are way better than Quicktime. You can get em at Versiontracker. VLCplayer is all you really need, IMO, plus you get a cool orange cone icon in yer dock.

***damien6669*** · 03-27-2008, 10:42 AM

and if you want to use Front Row (if you have a media centre Mini like I do) Get an app called Perian. It's like VLC for quicktime - gives you all the codecs that mplayer and VLC do, but allows you to use any media type in front row (and quicktime / iTunes)

JeShUa · 03-31-2008, 08:22 PM

I need to just view excel files.. is there a way to convert them to PDF or just view them without having excel?

FunkPnut · 04-01-2008, 12:01 AM

Have you tried NeoOffice (the mac port of OpenOffice)?

NeoOffice
