This topic serves as a hub for information on our Christmas schedule including our usual selection of two special episodes. This year we have:
The Clip Show (my favourite annual event)
RSBANDBUpdate! Uncorked

The Schedule:
RSBANDBUpdate! 130 : December 14th (standard show)
RSBANDBUpdate! 131 : December 21st (standard show)
RSBANDBUpdate! 132 : December 24th (Uncorked)
RSBANDBUpdate! 133 : December 31st (Clip show)

Now here is where you come in…

Uncorked

This is a special edition of RSBANDBUpdate! with the RSBANDB admins (Mike, Jeff, Brad, and Myself). This will be an all questions episode. The questions will have good discussional value. Some examples of possible topics could include thoughts on homosexual marriage, the war in Iraq, aid and assistance to developing nations. A question that would be a bad example is “What is your favourite colour?” I think you get the idea…

Please post your questions in this topic.

Clip Show

This is the smattering of fun moments and bloopers from the past 365 days. I have some idea of what will show up, however, we would like your input. If you have clips that you liked please post them using the following format:

Description of the Clip:

Please post your clip show ideas in this topic as well.

This topic will remain as a sticky and become globalized one week prior to the first recording.

XP Slowdown

July 28th, 2007

Today I wake up with the intention of listening to “The Tech Guy” radio show. However upon turning the screen on I notice that the hard drive activity light is on with a constant glow. I lock my computer down each night using Win + L. There was no response here, so as usual I decide to reboot. The thing takes 10 minutes to reboot! I’ve tried all the usual things (safe mode, last known good config, system restore) and nothing seems to be able to fix this.

Everything is slow. Opening applications, the start menu, system preferences etc… Any other day this might be interesting but today I have to edit up RSBANDBUpdate! 110. So lets just say this one might be delayed :( Sorry folks.

Edit: This is why I got a mac.

RSBANDBUpdate! Live Show

December 19th, 2006

This Saturday December 23, we are doing a live RSBANDBUpdate! This show goes hand in hand with the RSBANDB Christmas drop party. The show starts at 9PM GMT. With the help of Jeffy we produced a great guide on how you can get on this show. This will be a standard RSBANDBUpdate! show with the opportunity for call ins. We’ll also provide coverage of the drop party.

Should be a fun day :) Hope to see you there!
