The Last ROTSS...

...And the first TWIT. This WEEK in TECH is up for May 1, 2005. This edition is an hour long, because we had so much good stuff. In this episode: We come up with a new name and new URL. Patrick reviews WinHEC. John C. Dvorak visits from beyond the grave. We answer listener questions about Tiger. And Kevin picks our site of the week: http://boxedthoughts.com. Join Leo Laporte, Patrick Norton, Kevin Rose, Robert Heron, and John C. Dvorak for a look at This WEEK in TECH. Thanks and a tip of the Red Hat to Mark Blasco for the very fun TSS clone theme we end the show with. Now that we have a name, please email me your logo ideas, theme music, too, to ThisWEEKinTECH@gmail.com. I've registered ThisWEEKinTECH.com and TWIT.tv and we'll be moving to that domain later in the week. Subscribe to the podcast at http://leoville.tv/podcasts/tlr. (In future the feed will be at http://twit.tv/hi - there will also be a twit.tv/lo, aac, and vorbis - these are Coralized feeds that should work with any RSS or podcast client.). Or download from the BitTorrent feeds: 64kbps MP3 | 32Kbps MP3 | Bookmarkable AAC | Ogg Vorbis If none of the above feeds work for you, you can also download the 29MB high-quality MP3 directly from http://leoville-downloads.com/tlr/TLR20050501.mp3 - but please use this link only if you have to.

this WEEK in TECH is up

The new site for our podcast is now up at thisWEEKinTECH.com or TWiT.tv. I'm using the very very nice Drupal content management system. I'm liking it even better than Expression Engine at this point. It's simple simple simple but extremely powerful. For example, subscribers to the podcast are automatically registered on the site and I am able to give them special privileges like enhanced bandwith, special sections, more control over the appearance of the site, and so on. Check it out. All that's lacking is a nice design - the generic design is just fine, but I'd like something more fitting. We'll work on it.

Ronn Owens Show

I'll be a guest on the Ronn Owens Show on KGO Radio today from 11a-Noon Pacific. Listen live at 810 AM in San Francisco or on the stream at kgoam810.com. UPDATE: I've posted audio for the show onLeoville.tv. You'll get it automatically if you subscribe to the TLR podcast.

Two New TLR postings

There are two new postings in The Laporte Report podcast:

• My regular Friday appearance with Bill Handel on KFI, Los Angeles - this week I talked about the new Palm LifeDrive.
• My regular Saturday appearance with John Donabie on CFRB, Toronto covering this week's big stories in tech.

Subscribe to The Laporte Report podcast at feeds.feedburner.com/tlr (paste that URL into your podcast software). Starting tomorrow this WEEK in TECH (the show formerly known as The Revenge of The Screen Savers or ROTSS) will no longer be on the TLR feed. It will have its own feed at feeds.feedburner.com/twit. Please add that URL to your podcast software, as well. For other formats and the BitTorrent feed URLs visit the new TWiT web site.
