Uncontrolled Vocabulary #12 - Oops
By Greg | September 14, 2007
Uncontrolled Vocabulary #12 is now available for download. Here’s a direct link to the mp3.
Many of us had audio problems on this call. My apologies in advance for both the spotty sound quality and the repeated digressions toward discussing sound problems. I’ll provide Talkshoe some feedback and see what we can do to improve that situation.

Hi Greg, I was touched by you mentioning my name on episode 12. I wanted to let you know that I was as mystified by the Wired Free Speech/Copyright story as you. You gave as good a comment on that story as I did. Hate to defer to authority, but if EFF says it’s a good thing, that’s good enough for me.
You and the others did a great job of soldiering through really bad audio problems. problems. problems.

Dood, I was there for #12 even though I was not VOIPed. (Maybe it was just as well, considering our technical problems.) Why’dja leave me off the list? Greg, I appreciate your keeping the group on track as much as you do. I can tell you from experience that listening to the podcast episode isn’t much fun when there’s minutes and minutes of personal banter going on. Unless you want to spend time editing before putting up your ‘cast, then the best thing is to keep the conversation topic-focused and rolling right along. Best,
Mickey
