I already proposed to make multiple episodes. Even if they meet just once for a long session they could serve the different parts as different episodes - how cares that they are recorded at the same day. That way we could have a Java part, a Scala part and a other tech talk part. This would save even a lot of download bandwith because everybody can skip what he/she don't like. I don't think that it is that much work to split the recording.

Agree with you that common tech talk of the four is also interesting. And although I do not use an Apple nor do I know many people owning one I like to hear some Apple news - but just to some extent. I also do not want Joe to leave. A common problem in software design and development is that the user is often forgotten and a lot of software is lacking good UI. My common impression is, that Apple is in general attributed with good UI design and I imagine that was a reason for Joe to work there. I have not much experience with a Mac but with the iPhone (because my wife owns one) and I would never ever buy that for my own. For me Apple focuses too much on cool, stylish and simplicity than on productivity and efficiency which my focus is when thinking of computing and (tele)communication. But I know that I am "different" from the masses as many love their iPhone. When I am designing (G)UI, I am focusing accordingly and I had cases (occassionally) where end-users found a lack of simplicity in the GUI. Dear Joe, I really appreciate that you are advocating the user and take UI design into consideration - as well as monetary considerations (as somehow a company needs to make money also to continue their services and improve their software). It is also logical that you are identifying yourself with the company you decided to work for. I think, it would be a win-win-situation, if you would allow a more broaden (not Apple-focused) view. I think, listeners basically just don't want to hear Apple "advertisments". Your general viewpoints are a desired content. I myself for instance find it difficult sometimes to pair right technlogy choices with fitting and good UI design - this is a challenge sometimes. If you have good ideas for UI design the next step is the implementation and design ideas need to be reflected from technical point of view how they could be implemented - and here it comes to the technical Java stuff. -- Martin Wildam -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
