Our fellow geeks may be curious about some of the technical details. The show is recorded via Skype. Wesley’s PC runs Windows 7 while Dustin’s run’s Sabayon Linux. Both use the Blue Yeti microphone. Face to face interviews are recorded using a Tascam DR-07MKII. Dustin edits the show using Audacity and it is available encoded through both the proprietary MP3 (Lame) and open source Ogg Vorbis codecs.
The site is powered by WordPress with the Graphene Theme and podPress plugin hosted by DreamHost on a Linux powered virtual private server (VPS).
The banner and “CD Cover” are using a picture Dustin took from the edge of a cliff near “The Monastery” above Petra in Jordan looking off to the west in the late afternoon of 23 June 2007. The text is using the TTF-Ubuntu Medium font and the image was edited using GIMP 2.8.
The tagline, “Not all those who wander are lost”, is borrowed from J.R.R. Tolken.
The theme music used in the podcast is courtesy of Sturdy Fred.
