FileBack PC discussed on a podcast

The backup software I have written and been selling for more than a decade came up in a discussion on a very well known podcast today.

The podcast is called Security Now, and it is hosted by Leo Laporte and Steve Gibson.  Leo is a huge name in the podcast world (there might not be anybody more well known in the technology podcast world), and Steve is extremely well known for his security expertise.

Steve has recommended FileBack PC previously, but it came up again in today’s podcast.  Beginning at 01:43:06 through 01:48:05, Steve and Leo discuss how Steve uses FileBack PC to backup and synchronize his data.

I love when Steve does this; I always see a spike in downloads and sales of my software.  I’m also really glad he loves it, because he is VERY picky about his software, and his recommendations carry a lot of weight.

Thanks, Steve and Leo!

Buzzing Out Loud

After a couple attempts, one of my voice messages was played in the Buzz Out Loud CNET podcast this morning. At 27:43 into the broadcast available here:

Although after listening to what I had to say, I think it didn't come across the way I intended. I really meant to say that I doubt that what I was told by the T-Mobile rep was correct. Guess I should clarify my thoughts a little more before opening my mouth. Oh well.

Starting a Technology Podcast

My friend Brian Westfall and I have technology discussions pretty regularly. We talk about computers, game console games, home theater, among other things. And we talk a lot. Sometimes the discussions actually get pretty deep too.

So recently we decided that we were going to turn some of our conversations into podcasts that others can download and listen to. The result is called "Tech Squawk."

We hurried to record the first episode before Christmas, hoping that some of the stuff we recorded might be of value to someone. It's just a few days before Christmas now, but maybe somebody will find out podcast interesting.

The official web site for the podcast is http://techsquawkpodcast.podshow.com/. For anyone using an RSS aggregator, the feed address is http://www.podshow.com/feeds/techsquawkpodcast.xml.

Like I mentioned, the first episode was rushed, just to get something out there in time for the holidays. Which also means it wasn't edited down to a more concise size. So plan on taking up about 90 minutes if you want to listen to the whole thing.

We'll get to our normal weekly schedule after the first of the year. And future episodes will be much shorter. Hopefully less than 30 minutes, because longer podcasts just get a little dull.

Enjoy! And thanks in advance for any feedback!
