Recently, with the guiding hands of Steven Troughton-Smith and James Padolsey, I’ve been dipping my toe into the ocean known as Mac OS X app development.

This is a post of two halves. I originally started to write this post back in September, a month later and I am finishing it. A lot can change in a month, as one shall find out.

GoDaddy.com is the world’s largest reseller of .com domain names; they’re one of the most trusted companies on the internet and they’ve just started a UK branch.

People have often asked me “what makes a successful podcast?”. Why they’re asking me I have no idea. It could be to do with the little success that I’ve had with The Podzone, or even the soon-to-be hit The Glitch; either way it feels my ego and I’m often happy to answer the question.
