The audio quality leaves a lot to be desired, but good interview. I'm a little disappointed with my book's marketing (the writing process was fine), but I like that Apress "gets it" from top to bottom.

Was fun doing, thanks. By the way Jeff you should do your next book with us - it was perhaps unclear that we weren't the publisher in your post!

Hi Jeff,

Yeah...I wasn't too happy with the audio quality (or lack thereof), but the content was pretty solid and Gary was a cool interview. I was talking to him during peak time Internet usage, so there was a fair degree of echo, and there wasn't any filtering equipment on Gary's end so the "P"s and "G"s and "S"s really got accentuated.

The one thing I took out in editing was that when bandwidth really started getting constrained (assumedly both on Guam @ 8:30AM and in Northern California @ 3:30PM), Skype dropped on us twice, and the audio got REALLY bad.

But, all is not lost...the one thing I learned was that you really have to leverage Skype when you can ensure Internet access will be really fast. Check out an interview I did with Joel Ross from TourneyLogic last night @ 11: http://weblogs.asp.net/jasonsalas/archive/2005/07/15/419385.aspx - early in the AM for him, late @ night for me, so the bandwidth was great. No drop outs, and great sound quality.

Real interesting interview. I think it would be great if you can do some more of these developer centric type podcast interviews but as you mentioned your PodCast isn't just for the devs in the crowd.

Hey Jason,

Thanks for listening! Yeah...there are more tech interviews on the way....this is what I envisioned when I started thinking about putting together an ASP.NET podcast (http://weblogs.asp.net/jasonsalas/archive/2005/04/19/403222.aspx)

Have you checked out what Wally/Paul/Buddy are doing with their show? They use interviews with well-known personalities in the .NET community: ftp://216.187.235.114/ScalabilityWithDotNet.xml

Hi, Jason. FYI: I can't connect to the server to download the mp3 right now. Will try again later.

Hi Scott,

Probably just a temporary glitch...I worked for me just now.
