Interested in Technology, Development, and all the random stuff around it? So are we! This podcast is the sidebar discussions that you'd normally hear at a tech event but broadcast over the internet for all to enjoy. I'm Mike Elsmore and I'll regularly be hosting guests talking about the culture and community in technology circles, the tech itself, and have a giggle along the way. To see it live head to https://twitch.tv/ukmadlz at 3 pm UK time every other Friday.

    DevRel, DevEx and Video All The Things with Jake Ward

    A first for Tech: Off-topic, our resident internet denizen Mike Elsmore gets to interview Jake Ward (https://x.com/Jacobmward), the CEO of Data Protocol (https://dataprotocol.com/). Mike learned how Jake came up with the idea for Data Protocol, how he started it, and what it does. They also chatted about Developer Experience and learning and Developer Relations in general.

    Multitenancy, nerdom, and down with capitalism (even though it's how we earn money) with Ollie Read (@ollieread)

    Hello 2024, it's Tech: Off-topic here! Mike (⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/ukmadlz⁠⁠⁠ ⁠https://mastodon.social/@ukmadlz⁠) has brought in Ollie Read (⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/ollieread https://phpc.social/@ollieread) to talk tech and what's happened recently. However, that barely happens and the tangents are strong. We end up talking about: Multitenancy in software (you can ask Ollie about that all you want) RGB & Camera stuff (thanks to tech difficulties) Gundam, Warhammer, and hobbyist "plastic crack" Corporations and patent fights https://news.sky.com/story/apple-watch-to-lose-feature-after-us-court-reinstates-sales-ban-over-patent-dispute-13050692 Super rich (plenty of tech money) spending lots of money to build a city... https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/jan/17/tech-billionaire-new-city-plan-california-forever-san-francisco Pothole robots https://news.sky.com/story/hertfordshire-worlds-first-pothole-preventing-robot-to-hit-roads-in-test-rollout-13045036 This episode has plenty of side quest adventures so enjoy the chaos

    Stuart Langridge (@sil) is a true wonder of the world, off-topic is default setting!

    Mike (⁠⁠https://twitter.com/ukmadlz⁠⁠ https://mastodon.social/@ukmadlz) and co-host Jim (https://twitter.com/secondej https://phpc.social/@SecondeJ) gather for the first time in a while and are joined by Stuart Langridge (https://twitter.com/sil https://mastodon.social/@sil https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuart_Langridge). The usual variety of social tech chat goes truly off the rails to the point where it's more teachable moments than tech discussion. But some of what we cover is: Elon is against Chat GPT 4+ https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/pause-ai-development-open-letter-warning/ Don't deploy on Friday horseshit is BACK https://twitter.com/allenholub/status/1637111242610610182?t=EBkSZzQ6-zVpZ0I5lC4s4g&s=19 Dilbert Twitter outage two weeks ago was because they fired everyone with access to mint certs https://izzodlaw.com/@IzzoD/110001516908481048 You can't avoid politics in tech sometimes https://twitter.com/AlyssaM_InfoSec/status/1637383087020548096 The topics list was a lot longer, and this is all we got to. I think we hit a new level of off-topic with this episode, so enjoy.

    The one where Jim got replaced with Diana

    Mike (https://twitter.com/ukmadlz) couldn't bring Jim with him to Japan so we replaced him with Diana (https://twitter.com/dianasoyster) and she was the best co-host/guest you could ask for! The one is a truly off-topic session, so much so that we didn't actually follow many of our starter points. But we did cover: Bidets Vending machines VR influence to save the virtual world https://www.bbc.com/news/newsbeat-64862006 Mushroom clothes! https://www.bbc.com/news/business-64810935 Robot restaurant servers Square watermelons Parking garage elevators Driving system Enjoy the truly random conversation we had, we enjoyed having it

    What the heck does international tomato trolling have to do with time shares?

    Mike (https://twitter.com/ukmadlz) and Jim (https://twitter.com/secondej) are at it again, did you miss the tangential chat? The odd directions the conversation goes in this episode are truly off-topic, but our starter topics are: Trongate, the legendary new PHP Framework New Relic is hiring! That was an expensive mistake ChatGPT Articles and Avatar 2 gaslighting - https://twitter.com/MovingToTheSun/status/1625156575202537474 Google wants people to share a desk -  https://fortune.com/2023/02/23/google-returning-staff-share-desks-partner-maximize-office-space-tidiness-expectations-rotational-model/ The tomato thing is real - https://www.itv.com/news/2023-02-24/europeans-mock-uk-shoppers-over-tomato-shortage-but-is-brexit-to-blame What on EARTH did Purple Bricks DO https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-64678984 15-minute cities are a MARXIST CONSPIRACY And the usual off-topic tangents.

    New year, same noise, but it is shenanigans

    Mike (https://twitter.com/ukmadlz) and Jim (https://twitter.com/secondej) start the year with shenanigans, and the usual madness covering: Mastodon rejecting funding https://technology.inquirer.net/120533/mastodon-rejects-funding Tech salaries https://mastodon.online/@chaosmonster/109545607020550255 CES provides https://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/loreal-brow-magic-eyebrow-printer-ces-2023-news/ Salesforce ELT wouldn't understand Slack https://fortune.com/2023/01/05/leaked-slack-all-hands-meeting-reveals-a-strong-culture-clash-and-growing-rift-with-parent-company-salesforce/ AWS nuclear layoffs https://www.theregister.com/2023/01/05/tech_workers_in_the_firing/ And the usual off-topic tangents.

    TikToks, Tantrums, Leaks, and some Christmas Cheer with Steve Goode & Christopher Miller

    Mike (https://twitter.com/ukmadlz) couldn't get Jim to come to play, so instead dragged along Chris Miller (https://twitter.com/ccmiller2018) and Steve Goode (https://twitter.com/sociablesteve1) to keep me company during this holiday episode: Myspace Tom to replace Elon Musk https://comicbook.com/gaming/news/myspace-tom-twitter-elon-musk-ceo-position/ SBF got out of jail for $250m https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-64068810 LastPass leak https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2022/12/lastpass-says-hackers-have-obtained-vault-data-and-a-wealth-of-customer-info/ TikTok reading data from Journalists https://www.theverge.com/2022/12/22/23522808/tiktok-journalists-data-accessed-bytedance-internal-audit Twitter to have public view counts https://www.searchenginejournal.com/twitter-adds-public-view-counts-to-tweets/475185/ Pokemon Samsung Accessories https://www.androidpolice.com/pokemon-samsung-accessories/ And the usual off-topic tangents.
