Show Comment

I really like the show, I have only listened through ep8, but please please PLEASE curb the use of the word 'basically', it is really distracting!!!

I teach software classes regularly and have read that you should NEVER use that word when speaking to a group of people.

Keep up the good work.

Ray,
thanks for the comments.
i think as the shows go on, i use it less, and my speaking gets better.
problem is, i have never done any public speaking, teaching, nothing. in fact, im the tech geek they lock in the back closet to keep me from talking to people.. i just make things work...lol

i appreciate the advices and will try to keep that in mind. i cant make any promises though, a lot of this just "comes out" but i will do my best...lol

One of the developers I work with uses that word all the time when doing a demo, I always tell him about it but he can't seem to avoid it. I always keep count of how many times he uses it!!

lmao.. i can relate...
i think the problem is as a technician, we often have to explain things to people that barely know what a computer is..
an they always want it "basic"

so its been built into my vocab...lol

thanks for the tip though i will try and work on it..

Rob does excellent for being a computer geek- I can relate to that in a way. I hate meeting new people or doing sales, giving speeches- anything like that. I don't even like to go to lunch with people I don't know- I get so nervous.

So Rob- I love the words you say over and over- especially greaaaaaaaaaaat- don't make me have to listen to old shows to hear that!! And I commend you for being so brave and doing video casts!! That is awesome!!

To be honest, I have never even noticed it. IME, (I used IME Rob, are you proud???) the information in each podcast is so engaging that you could have a bus exploding in the background and none of us would hear it. Keep up the good work Rob and welcome to TR Ray.

I agree Eddy
I kinda like the words Rob uses all the time- they kinda grow on me. It wouldn't be the same show without his words

He he he... just at EP!? It gets better.. from there, you see us get into the "Great" and "Stuff like that" and then get into the "Absolutelies" by me, Chris, and others...

Thank Goodness Rob cut out all my "Ummms" from my podcasts, or your speakers would be vibrating "Ummmmmmmmmm"

Gotta love evolution...whether in a marine specimen...or in a podcast... no worries.....It's all good!

What? It's a scientific term.. used often in marine biology! My recent bout with Cyano began when a HUGE turbo decided to pass over the salty bridge, and left his shell, with ounces of white "icky stuff" behind in my tank!

Here's proof that "icky stuff" is a scientific term! :-)
