    Episode 25: The Return of Chris McDonough, bootstrapping pip, projects and playgrounds, and the death of Open Source consulting

    Watch us record the podcast, warts and all Episode 25: The Return of Chris McDonough, bootstrapping pip, projects and playgrounds, and the death of Open Source consulting The problem with having an awesome guest like Chris McDonough on the podcast is you have a really hard time topping that. So what better way to kick off the cobwebs of the podcast than to invite Chris back. Well, add to that three provocative topics (one of which was penned my Chris himself) and you have as good an excuse as any to bring back Lococast from the podcast brink.  We also took the opportunity to record it as a Google Hangout so if you want to see our unvarnished smiling faces you can. If you'd rather let your imagination run wild (and your psyche unharmed) you also have the option of listening to our regularly generated audio file.

    Lococast Ohio Linuxfest 2011 Interview: Michael Fischer

    New Computer Lab (photo credit: Terry McCombs http://www.flickr.com/photos/22809952@N03/6293508103/) Lococast Ohio Linuxfest 2011 Inteview: Michael Fischer We have one last interview in the can from Ohio Linuxfest, and it's appropriate that we release this canned interview, since it's with Michael "Call me Fish" Fischer (get it? Canned? Fish? OK, I'll stop now). Fish presented a talk at Ohio Linuxfest entitled: "Managing a Computer Lab in a High School Environment". After the talk, Rick and Fish sat down to talk a bit about computers and education, and why Fish brought some of his students to Ohio Linuxfest. Special thanks to Michael "Call me Fish" Fischer for taking the time to talk with us at Lococast.net.

    Lococast Ohio Linuxfest 2011 Interview: Aaron Toponce

    Password speaking server, guarded by lasers and spiders (photo credit: Nadya Peek) http://www.flickr.com/photos/nadya/30237988/ Lococast Ohio Linuxfest 2011 Inteview: Aaron Toponce "Sherman, set the way-back machine for two months ago, when the fall colors weren't sitting upon our lawn. September should be good, right around the time when Ohio Linuxfest was occurring. Yep, that should be good. Now, be a good boy and open the doors and watch the way-back machine while I listen to these interviews." So, insert the standard disclaimer about not getting these up in time because [life got busy | things came up | cat ate my hard drive] and accept our humble apologies for not getting these interviews up sooner. The next interview from our adventures at Ohio Linuxfest features Aaron Toponce. Aaron sat down to talk with Rick about Aaron's presentation at Ohio Linuxfest about Password Theory and Breaking Encrypted Filesystems. Suffice to say, you might not want to leave your machine unattended near any maids anytime soon. Special thanks to Aaron Toponce for sitting down and talking with us at Ohio Linuxfest.
