Nuke The Moon

We're back after the server move with a brand-new episode. This week we talk about the Cold War plot to nuke the moon, DVD recorders, the new Motif release and its license, as well as plenty of conspiracy theories.

Magic number 31

[King_of_Plow]

CT and Co, you're getting ever closer to the magic episode number 31!

What will you do when you get there?

"You take a distribution! Rename! Stamp CD's! IPO!"
- CmdrTaco, Geeks in Space, Episode 2 from 6:18 to 6:23.

Hey, I'm not the only one in on this then..

See, they called it episode 3-A, but then they went and named it episode 31........ The problem is that now GiS has almost exhausted the 2^5-2 namespace.

The solution? Mail "episode31.mp3" to kurt@thepope.org, and he will happily rename the file and return it to you.

With his help, as the unrecognised head of catholocism in Michigan, we might all be spared the problems of a small name space..

GiS - More, more more!

[xtal]

Heya! I'd do the longer episode and maybe one or two shorter ones.. I pop GIS onto the rio whenever I have to communte anywhere in the car, and it's cool to get slashdot to-go. It's strangely interesting. It's better than listening to Jerry, anyhow..

But, keep up the good work!

Dark Side of the Moon

[Adam Walker]

Think for a sec... what if they HAD nuked the dark side of the moon? What kind of album would Pink Floyd have come up with if it was nuked? "The Yellowish Radioactive Side of the Moon" Think about it.

Clue: GiS has an International audience...

[Kris_J]

...so it should make fewer references to obscure US "personalities" and less whinging about things taking too much time to arrive from Japan.

Also, it should just grow up - we're interested in discussions about /.-related stories and follow ups, we're not interested in 4 minutes of rambling before the actual discussions begin.

Otherwise a very enjoyable show...

Re:Clue: GiS has an International audience...

[Lev_Arris]

Another clue: Geeks in Space wouldn't be half as enjoyable if it was as bone dry as you seem to want it.

Honestly I listen to the show because it's fun. Take some interesting information, some people joking around, add some 'product placement' (conspiracy here ;) and you've got Geeks in Space.

I wouldn't want to listen to it if it weren't for the whining and 4 minutes of rambling because then it would be plain boring. As for the obscure US personalities, I have to agree. Being from Europe I don't know most of them either.

Shorter Episodes

[Coolhand-10]

I am sure evetyone who has been paying attention to GIS has noticed that the episodes are getting longer.

I would personally rather see two 15 minute episodes a week instead of one 30 minute episode.

Just my opinion, keep up the good work.

Re:Shorter Episodes

[coaxial]

NO! A whole hour! And I still want Kurt to show up.

Re:My rio was getting bored

[Kris_J]

I just did the Rio thing too - loaded the file onto my Rio and went out to lunch. Modern technology rocks. (This may seem trivial when compared to an FM radio, but I'm in Australia so obtaining an audio show from the other side of the world and listening to it, with the ability to stop, rewind and fast forward, while wandering around the city during lunchtime on the same day it's released is less trivial and more miracle.)

GiS on CD?

[Triv]

Hey, have you guys thought about burning perminant copies of Geeks in Space and selling 'em? Or hell, you're all for open-sourcing--give 'em away. I'd love a copy personally, and that desire started as soon as I realized all the episodes will no longer fit on a single Zip Disk. I'm going to end up spending way too much money on removable media if some other format isn't introduced. 25 episodes to a disk, that's worth a small hunk 'o change to me.

gundam wing

[coaxial]

What the hell? Gundam Wing doesn't suck! Sure it's giant robots fighting each other, but it's still cool.

Sure it's odd, to the point of stupidity, that every one is fighting to show how futile fighting is, but for some reason I liked it.

And you should too!

So sayeth me.

The 7 Deadly sins ?

[Bryan_Crowl]

Does anyone actually know what the 7 deadly sins are on thepope.org ?

So where are the parodys/ripoffs?

[handorf]

With only one GIS episode a week, I need more to help me get though the week. HELP ME!

Re:Gundam Wing == Transformers??

[Cacophanus]

You are not far off (I aint a trolling flamer as it is). Transformers was actually nicked from Shoji Kawamori's eponymous "Chojiku Yosai Macross" series (1982).

Gundam's main sponsor, Bandai, ironically made "Zeta Gundam" (1987) a vehicle for transforming Mobile Suits (MS). That being said the transforming sequences were rather weak compared to the deified Macross.

So it is hardly surprising that Wing tries to use the gimmick...

As far as the story goes, Transformers is rather cheesy compared to Wing. But in the grand-scheme-of-things (TM) Wing is even weaker.
