Another great show, guys! I loved it as always. A bit of (I hope) constructive criticism, though: I think you guys really need to be careful about talking over each other. When it's just Thom and Andrew there's rarely a problem, but when you put a third person in the mix you often start speaking at the same time, which is usually followed by an awkward silence and a mumbled "you go...no you..." =p

Perhaps if you had some kind of standing rule, like the guest always gets priority to speak and neither of the hosts can talk while the guest is saying something?

I hope you don't take this negatively, because I really do enjoy each and every show! =)


I was actually going to suggest this feature! I enjoy the idea in principle, but personally I'd prefer it if you read out the scramble on the show. I know it was posted on the website, but when I was listening to the podcast I had my cube on me but no computer. It was still quite fun listening to you guys struggle, but I think it would be really fun if I could solve along too! (Can you imagine the looks you'd get if you did this on a train or something?)

Great feature though, a nice cube related one!


I really enjoy the puzzlers, do you come up with them completely by yourself?


Yeah, they're still funny, it's getting hard to think of good ones though! =p I think I enjoy the fact that it's a recurring feature more than anything else. I think those are good for the show in general!


Great show as always, I'll submit QFQs, my attempt at the Puzzler and questions for Chris next episode. Should be a good one! (Except for those people who think Chris has an annoying voice, for whom it will be a tiny slice of hell! =p )

Oh yeah, Stefan, you were an excellent guest! I hope to see you on again in the future! =)

I believe the reason there was more talking over the top this episode was that Stefan's delay was a little bit more than the other guests. At least, it sounded like it.

What happened to the voicemails and the best moments of Cubecast and such?

This. I meant to ask it but failed to.

Not enough entries + not enough time for me to edit anyway.

A few comments/clarifications I'd like to make...

cage match with the leader of any country - I later realized this was was probably intended as "which one would you like to beat up", but I took it as "oh sh**, how do I avoid getting hurt", so that's why I picked a woman. They're usually weaker and less aggressive. Don't have anything against women or Mrs. Merkel in particular. Also dislike politician- or celebrity-bashing in general, especially by comedians too incompetent to come up with something actually witty (awesome Hitchens clip somewhat about that).

wasting time on the forum - Only wasteful in the obsessive way I'm using it, not in general. I love the forum, the people, the discussions, the fun. I'd just like to get to a point where I can get through the newest posts and then stay away for the rest of the day, instead of feeling and following the urge to return all the time.

try to only pick the fights that I can win - Nah, more like I stay out of those that I can't (because I don't know or care enough about the issue). Also, it's not "fights", and it's not about "winning". Pardon the language. Mainly I dislike misinformation, so if I see something I consider wrong and do care and know enough about it, I speak up, that's all.

Btw, here's that comic that Thom mentioned. And Thom, here's an excerpt from my show notes:
"someone-is-wrong-on-the-internet (was that you, Thom?)"
So had you not brought it up, I might have . Might've been MiloD first, though.

PTimer - Forgot to make the point I wanted to make: that that's a project I consider pretty much finished. The large display was almost the whole point, and that is done. I might add a little more to it and publish the code, but I never intended to make it anywhere as powerful as qqTimer or CCT (or now that Souza timer). Mostly a proof of concept and a suggestion for the serious timer developers. So, mission rather accomplished with this one, unlike with others so far

UWRs - Ok, enough. I'll stay away from forums/youtube/<r2,U>/etc until I have something UWR to show.

 

[krnballerzzz]

I hope to see UWR things soon Stefan .

It was very difficult to take 16 hours of awesomeness and reduce it to less than 15 mins, but I did my best.
