I guest on The Digital Lifestyle Show #389

Once again I was asked on to the fantastic TDL podcast by Ian Dixon to talk about this week’s technology news. We cover some MediaPortal news, talk about my XBMC home media network and social entertainment apps.

Since recording on Tuesday I discovered that support for TrakT.TV in XBMC had got a new lease of life in XBMC 12 (Frodo) and I have since installed the updated plugin. This means that both my XBMC TV and movie libraries can be synchronised as well as giving me the ability to auto post what I’m currently watching.

Enjoy the show! :-)

Just another technology podcast and blog…

Hello!

Yes this just just another technology podcast and blog you might say. Well that’s true and there is so much wonderful content in equality wonderful podcasts and blogs out there that cover just about anything so why another?

Well, I’m hoping to put something out that just might be a little different that’s why.

I am a fan of technology. I have been tinkering with computers and gadgets since forever. I love computer hardware, software, apps, you name it. Here you find more than just news, I’m planning on reviewing and commenting on things I actually use.

I hope it is of some interest.

Stay tuned! :)
