Online Collaboration

But for pesky technical gremlins, this would certainly be our best episode yet. Apologies in advance for the background noise. Pre-recording testing was good, however it appears that an intermittent issue with a USB connector has caused us a few problems that can’t be edited out. Now we know we’ll do better next time.

Moving on this week’s show focuses on online document collaboration, discusses GMail’s 9th birthday, a new JS gem from Dave Rupert and much more.

Celebrities on KickStarter

This weeks show is kindly supported by Insites: ConfShop — A unique one day event for web workers focused on openness, sharing and learning taking place in London on Friday July 5th. Tickets are limited to 100 and are available for £125.

In this episode we tell you about our new “studio”, discuss the route to inner nirvana (no really), the “problem” of celebrities on KickStarter and ask whether Ghost is the future of blogging as we know it.

Thanks again to Insites: ConfShop for supporting this weeks episode.

The Problem of Overfunding on KickStarter

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?

How Not to Run a Competition

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.

The One with Marc

In our first episode of 2014 I am joined by new guest co-host Marc Roberts of Neutron Creations. After a lengthy chat about his rather special coat we moved onto more web related links and finished up with a discussion on node.js. Big thanks for Marc for taking the time to come on the show.

Transitioning

Just when you thought you could delete us from your podcatcher we are back and with a distinct lack of excuses for our absence. This week we discuss our new weekly formats and chat extensively about “transitioning”.

Over the last few months both of us have found our main focuses shifting and as a result the way we present ourselves online has changed, or had to change, too. We revisit our discussion on “flowery Twitter bios” and look at ways in which our friends, colleagues and heroes represent themselves online – through the blog posts they write, links they curate and share and other output including podcasts and videos. We touch on expectations, schedules and much more in our first episode back behind the Yeti’s.

We’d love to hear about your experiences of transitioning. Get in touch on Twitter and Facebook.

Free Content Forever?

In this week’s episode, we turn our gaze to the topic of ad-blockers and paid content. We discuss Vitaly from Smashing Magazine’s recent post looking at how they are funding their content strategy and discuss our own views on paying for digital content.

As always we book end the show with some “bants” including heartfelt thanks to some of our favourite supporters and a nod to a Cornish brewing companies new site.

We Don&#8217;t Need no Education

I’ll say this — time off between episodes certainly gives us plenty to talk about. In our 45th, almost hour–long, outing behind the mics we welcome new members to “the club“, discuss Kieran’s move into the world of coffee capsule commerce, ponder on new forms of web education, and learn more what Kieran receives in the post!

Kieran&#8217;s Big Red Button

It’s hard to believe it’s only been one week, no really, since our last confession. Where does the time go?

In this episode we catch up on what’s happened in our lives in the last seven days, discuss the latest goings on at Medium, ponder why the Guardian doesn’t write listicles and end on probably the best API in the world!

At frontline, junior docs are soldiers, generals

In the ward of Covid-19 patients, one could expect the medicine, anaesthesia or pulmonology experts at work. But if one visits Civil Hospital, the treating doctor could well be on his/ her way to become ophthalmologist, gynaecologist or general surgeon! In SVP hospital, he or she may be specialising in psychiatry too!
