A Brit Abroad - April 16, 2006

| | Comments (3) | TrackBacks (0)

Good Lord, it’s been way too long! Five months since my last podcast.

Well, this afternoon I decided enough is enough and I locked myself away in the office to put this together. Of course, I was a little bit rusty and forgot to check all the myriad of settings, so the latency of the audio hardware had somehow bumped itself up to around sixty milliseconds instead of the usual four, combined with the fact that I left the processing effects running whilst recording, resulted in some weird stuttering in the audio recording.

Sorry about that.

Also, the PC wasn’t as isolated as usual, so there’s a bunch of hum.

Anyhow, you can still hear me, and I’m back! So welcome to another edition of A Brit Abroad! In this solo edition I chat mainly about the setting up of the new company - SwitchGear Software.

Today’s music is by “My Morning Jacket”, “One Big Holiday”, taken from the Wired “Rip. Sample. Mash. Share.” CD.

At just over 22 minutes and weighing in at 15.3MB, It’s A Brit Abroad!

Things talked about in the show:

Enjoy!

Hey Steve. Gave teh show a listen. Good one as usual.

Curious, how long have you had your green card, and are you looking into citizenship? I've had my GC for 3 years now and probably need to start thinking about it. Seems you've got extra motivation as it may affect your standing with the new company and such.

Kim - I got my green (or rather pink...) card in November '01. You have to be a permanent resident for five years before applying for citizenship, so theoretically I could apply in November of this year.

I probably will apply, but not because of the company (it only affects the S-Corp thing), but for the following reasons:

1) I love this country, and really do consider it home.

2) I want to vote in 2008 :-)

3) My kids are US citizens. Actually they're US and UK citizens!

Every time it stuttered I couldn't help but think of Max Headroom :-)
