DNR: Amanda Silver, Paul Vick, and Erik Meijer
Carl and Richard interview three members of the Visual Basic team at PDC 2005. The conversation turns from favorite features of VB 2005 to LINQ to XML in VB.2005 to Orcas, best and worst moments on the VB team. We are also treated to a short after-dinner converation with Ted Pattison, George Bullock, Joe Hummel, and David Chappell, formerly with Band on the Runtime.

Carl finds some unsually related headlines on the web, Stephen Hawking gets pissed at Mark, No shortage of dumb people in the news, Karen takes a swipe at Dove, and Geoff is comatose.

OK, folks, we're going to try this again. Here's the state of the feeds for DNR and Mondays:
- I've added three new feeds for downloading via HTTP: mp3, wma, and lo-fi wma.
- The AAC feed is now a HTTP feed as well. Perfect for iTunes users.
- Existing .torrent feeds are still there
- All feeds now only publish the latest show. One item only.
Having only one item should help with bandwidth surges. We're going to see how it goes. Meantime, please update your podcatcher software!
In addition to all of this stuff, three lucky contestants will also win an i-Mate Jam and a year's subscription to CoDe magainze!
With the interest we're already seeing, this may turn out to be a regular show!

Sorry for the late announcement, folks. I've been up to my ass in alligators this week. Perhaps this is a sign that I should delegate the announcements. :-)
Anyway, this week (if you haven't already listened) Joel Semeniuk lays out the definitive in-depth overview of Team System. He walks you through a typical VSTS process from start to finish, and we couldn't be more pleased.
