Carl Franklin

How can I contact you? Can you give us your skype username?

Carl,

Couple of suggestions:
Perhaps you can put a link to your show schedule in the main Show page. I say this becuase I missed calling in for the Chris Sells show. Darn it! And I think many listerners are unaware of the schedule and the phone number to call. Eventually I found the http://www.franklins.net/dnrsched/ page.
Also, have you thought of allowing user to rate the shows, similar to how people rate articles. That way you could get feedback, dont get me I love all of them. Some are however better than other.
Just some thoughts :)

As I said in my first post, We'll publish a page with instructions on how to call in once we get closer to Friday.

As for calling in, we have not done the show live yet, so we have not had an opportunity to have callers. In the past we have called people back who told us they wanted to be callers, but we couldn't get enough callers to do it on a regular basis.

Dear Carl,

Things have changed a lot in Brazil recently. Information was scarce and now, through internet, I am very glad I can get reach free and valuable resources like msdn.microsoft.com , www.msdnbrasil.com.br , weblogs.asp.net , etc. By the way, I new of .Net Rocks! just recent, only after MSDN started hosting it and it have proved to be a valuable source of information/trends for me.

I am also new to blogging and it seems to me it is an amazing way of communicating. I started reading some blogs through internet and just recentely got acquainted of RSS aggregators. I am using RSS Bandit. I do not now whether there is better free RSS aggregators than it, so if you now of free RSS aggregators share your thougts on it.

I also got interested in your post about Skype. Actually I had already heard of it, but did not give it much attention because I already use MSN Messenger, ICQ and Yahoo Messenger and thought it was just another akin in the arena. Anytime you start calling or letting people call during .Net Rocks! recordings, let me know about, so I might manage timezone and agenda to get connected to .Net Rocks!

Hey Carl,
I can't wait to hear the show on Friday. The Skype software looks cool. I did a quick google group search to see what people say about it. I came across some posts referencing a part of the license agreement that I found a little scary:

Paragraph 9:
(c) THE SKYPE SOFTWARE IS UTILIZED AND DISTRIBUTED BY THIRD PARTIES
WHICH ARE UNRELATED TO SKYPER. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT INSTALLATION OF
THE SKYPE SOFTWARE WILL ALLOW THIRD PARTIES WHO ARE NOT AFFILIATED
WITH SKYPER THE ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR COMPUTER ("OUTSIDE

CLAIM OR LOSS OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES AS STATED IN

OUTSIDE PARTIES.

third parties access to my computer? are all eula(s) like this? if so i have to start reading them.

>> third parties access to my computer?

That's what happens when you talk to people with Skype.

You're going to put Rory on the air LIVE! Can't wait to hear this!!!

Just don't let him sing...:-)
