Hi Liz,
Thank you for posting this. It came to my attention directly from Brad himself. I think possibly he was looking for validation that he was in the right. I promptly assured him, it was not acceptable to me either.I did try to help, however, and realise that the immature mentality will not respond to outrage or upset. I rationally explained the realities of business and how you present yourself online, the difference between being the lowest common denominator and the lack of quality respect you will earn, and I believe he understands the point that it is not right to be sharing this type of content on the Tech podcast page. I hope this doesn't happen again, but as I am not Brad, I cannot assure it. Thanks for your post, by the way and also for taking screenshots before things were deleted.:)

Fairly sure he didn't. However he has posted my blog post now, and the comments look like this

Fulvio Gerardi - She's got you dead to rights on this.
Brad Chasenore - Like i give a fuck hahaha

However, he has deleted that post now also, as well as a lot of others.

He probably didn't mean to offend anyone with his original post, seems like a case of him not knowing his audience or distinguishing himself from his brand, if he's going to post that kind of thing then he probably should market his channel add a tech/swim suit webcast instead of simply a tech webcast

Heya, yeah i already uncircled him before Randi made her post :)

This guy is clearly an idiot. I mean, you can tell by the fact that he can't write a single grammatically acceptable sentence. Why not just uncircle him and let him destroy himself slowly by posting shitty content? I see why you would get offended and start a dialogue, but honestly, you won't change dumb asses like this, so let them be.

Thanks for posting though. Now I know who NOT to circle! haha

Furthermore, for someone that supposedly runs a tech podcast (which I've never heard of), he clearly has absolutely no grasp of current issues in tech, be they political or simply typical tech company gossip.

I just kind of want to point him at a "learn english now" tutorial. He seems to have both reading comprehension issues as well as problems expressing himself in straightforward manners. Don't even get me started on his grasp of marketing...

We stopped using VB6 at work but I couldn't get the hang of .Net. I also gave up on Linux at home so I thought my geek days were over. But reading this, I think i'm closer to "geek" than "not geek"....

If you can, but choose not to, are you still a geek?

Approx 70% geek here ... trying furiously to lop off the other 30% (just too lazy to get coding!)

That is some serious contrast! I think I lie somewhere in the middle. I've been using Linux for 10 years but I have no need for programming and I will only compile code it there is not a package for it available already.

I key Dvorak on principal and I read fantasy novels.I can debate the validity of the Sega Saturn and talk up the superiority of quadralaterals on low-end hardware... I can also rattle off the engine codes of my favorite cars. Does this not make me a geek too?I feel hurt and alone. :) Just kiddingMaybe I am a nerd...

No matter how small or insignificant you think a donation might be, you can never quantify the joy and happiness it may bring to another's life, specially this time of year.

Oh yeah absolutely :D

Then I would deserve even more points for being able to compile it on more OS'es then first listed ;-)

Re: Are you a Geek?

Liz Q — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 13:11:55 -0000

Not all OS, but any - and remember that there are other OS out there, android, Basic, etc :D

Re: Are you a Geek?

Ronny — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 07:07:13 -0000

"Can compile code on any OS"?
Why in the name of all things sacred would I want to compile something on Windows or a Mac? I don't want to. Compiling on Linux or an Apache Server is all that's needed!
Heck. Using Windows or MacOS (unless you've built a hackintosh all by yourself) for your main OS will subtract substantial Geek points of your credibility list in my book!

This suspend problem has been plaguing me for months. You fix works perfectly and I now have an Inspiron Studio that suspends and resumes :)

Thanks!

I think there is a wordpress plugin that does it. Alternatively the API is available now which should be easy make one

What is Google thinking? No RSS feed, despicable.

Hmm could be a different bug. Mine never rebooted, mine just hung with a blank/black screen when coming back up. I moved to Linux Mint in anycase because i could not stand Unity and was having random crashes for some reason on Ubuntu (unsure why, but frustrating!)
