054 – Stephen Lamb on his new role in marketing / PR

Twelfth the in the Twelve Podcasts of Christmas 2008!


Badge facing inwards, clever security move, very clever. Oh, and that’s the huge Christmas tree in Building 2 at TVP as mentioned in the podcast!

“I wanted to scare the hell out of myself”

As many readers and listeners will know Stephen Lamb moved from his security role over to…well, a role in public relations. I for one wanted to know what Stephen does in his new role and I know a few other folks were keen to know too. Ten weeks into the new role, I happened to be in the same place as Steve…we grabbed a coffee, a comfortable sofa and recorded this: “30 minutes on the sofa with Steve”. I won’t spoil it for you, if you’re keen to understand Steve’s new role, this is well worth a listen!

051 – Viral Tarpara on Collaboration, SharePoint, Open Source (Port 25) and Community

Ninth the in the Twelve Podcasts of Christmas 2008!

Heroes Happen Here

In March 2008, Microsoft’s “2008” wave of product launches took place in Birmingham. It was a great opportunity to grab some podcasts with Microsoft Executives and many of their DPEs. In this podcast, co-hosted by Andy Westgarth, we’re chatting to Microsoft Collaboration Evangelist Viral Tarpara. Viral is open and honest, giving us an insight into what he does for Microsoft and the importance of Community within a large corporation. Watch out for Viral’s “good save” when making reference to major search engines near the end of this recording!

Photos of the event can be found here.

049 – David Yack and Jonathan Carter on ALT.NET, MVC and Community

Seventh the in the Twelve Podcasts of Christmas 2008!


David & Jonathan


Audio man Zi making sure it’s all good!

In this podcast you can listen to David Yack and Jonathan Carter very eloquently discussing ALT.NET and .NET 3.5 SP1 and beyond. You may hear me using to the word “opposite” somewhat out of context, apologies for that…I was within the “safe for podcasting alcohol limit”…it just goes to show that any alcohol and podcasting can be have consequences… Luckily David and Jonathan are more professional than me and carried on answering the question has if they had heard it correctly in the first place!

Recorded live inside Italian Graffiti (their web-site does need a face lift, yes?) near Soho, London, just after ALT.NET Beers 2, organised by Sebastien Lambla. There is some restaurant noise, please grin and bear it, one has to grab podcasts with superstars as and when they arise, rarely is there a quiet room to hide in!

Our Moth 2009 Community Calendar – the secret project

I am pleased to announce that my secret project is now complete!

2009 is just next month, so I thought I would create a special calendar! Here in the UK, probably over in Greece and now over in Seattle, The Moth delights audiences with his technical know-how and witty commentary.

In the UK we do miss Daniel. So, in order to keep Daniel in our thoughts for a bit longer, I give you Our Moth 2009, a Community Calendar!

If you’re a UK MVP you may recall that the lovely Vicki sent out an MVP calendar for 2008. You should find this calendar prints to the correct size to fit the MVP calendar holder. You’ll have to do a little printing and cutting yourself, sorry…I can’t do everything for you!!

Any mistakes are my own, but I can’t be held responsible for them! But do tell me if you discover a mistake: via comments here, e-mail or Twitter, so I can fix them!

If you download the calendar and like it, show your appreciation to Daniel by leaving a comment here!

Enjoy and please do share amongst your communities!
