Wow, the talkshoe website was CRAWLING this afternoon ... took me a good 15-20mins just to log in ... and others expressed the same lengthy delays :-( None-the-less, we had a good turnout with about 13 people online.
I just listened to the podcast and must apologize BIG TIME for my use of the word "uhhh" ... crud, I know it drives me nuts when others do that ... so again I'm very sorry. I will do MUCH better next time :-)
I was impressed with the audio quality compared to our last attempt using SkypeCast ... it's still a beta product, but I'm liking TalkShoe.
I also said the wrong URL for OpManager ... it's manageengine.adventnet.com
So if you want to listen to the recorded content just click this icon

We'll be doing the next one in 2 weeks on Dec 15th at 2pm ... hope to see ya there.
UPDATE: I just got the stats report from the Talkcast today. According to Talkshoe we had 19 streaming listeners, 10 live participants, and as of 10pm tonight the podcast has been downloaded 16 times. The 10 "live participants" seems to match up with the number of us that were voice chatting. So I assume the other 19 listeners includes the 3 or so people that were in the text chat area and the 16 were just listening to the stream. So I'll call that 29 "live" listeners today. Thanks to all who tuned in.
UPDATE #2: Here's some rough notes from the show ... I'll try to add all the URL links at some point
PageDefrag - free single .exe file that will defragment your windows paging file and registry ... can make significant improvements on PC's that have not had their page files defragged. No, most defrag tools do NOT defrag the paging file as it must happen before windows loads. We're planning to put this into the next ghost image for all our PC's at GCC.
