As the web appears to have gone on holiday we present a mixed bag of goodness on Episode 010. We lament the loss of one of our zero’s, Kieran brings forth the news and the funny and we engage in a almost academic level of discourse on the issues associated with overfunding on crowdfunding platforms. Also included – a bit of Startup talk, a new Mac code editor, the new Royal baby and our first ever competition.

Lunchbox Competition

To enter the Back to Front Show lunchbox giveaway simply tweet the answer to the following question before Friday 2nd August 2013. All correct answers will be entered into the draw. If nobody guesses correctly the closest response will win.

Question: What is the height difference in inches between Kieran and Keir?

In the 11th instalment of our artisanal hand-crafted high-fidelity podcast we prove that despite being able to bring up a LAMP stack in under 12 minutes we are utterly incapable of running a competition. Listen in and find out who the two, yes two, winners of Keir’s lunchbox are! We also discuss Keir’s (and Elliot’s) latest publication called Digest, chat about a new design trend, shine a light on a new screencasting service and ask if online comments are dead.
