New Podcast: Short Order Code

kdmurray — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 16:43:24 +0000

Over the past several months I’ve mentioned occasionally that I’m working on a new software development focused podcast. The time has finally come for me to make a more official announcement about this new endeavour.

The new show called Short Order Code. The show will be a
series of audio podcasts and video screencasts focusing on a number of
areas of practical software development.

The first episode is out now, and the next few are in various stages of being produced while I put together the final bits and pieces and trying to sort out my process. Once that’s done and the first few episodes have been put together
I’ll try to provide more information around long-term plans for the
show.

For those who may be wondering, this is not going to affect my
affiliation with the Aussie Geek Podcast (despite our . I love doing the show, and plan to continue in my co-hosting role for the foreseeable future as long as the AGP community is willing to have me. Time zone considerations will probably continue to make a mess of our schedule, but we’ll do our best to produce a great show for the community as often as we possibly can.

So keep your eyes peeled for more information, and head on over to the website at shortordercode.com and subscribe to the feed!

The One Week PageRank Experiment

kdmurray — Sat, 25 Oct 2008 06:41:31 +0000

I’ve decided to start a little experiment. Over the next 7 days, I’m going to try to get a new wordpress blog on a new domain from a PageRank of 0, to at least a PageRank of 1. If I can get this done, I’ll renew the domain. If not, I’ll probably let it lapse.

It’s a pretty simple proposition really, I’ll put together what I know about SEO with regular posts to the site. Hopefully between now and next Friday night I’ll be able to get the site on Google‘s radar.

What are my chances? No idea, but you can check out the post explaining the Google – WordPress experiment on the new site at kickjoey.com.
