This week’s podcast will be slightly delayed by a few days. A family emergency (all is well now), a new computer (yeeha!) and too much business travel (blech!) have finally caught up with me. Expect your regular FredCast in just a few days. Thanks for your patience and understanding!!
I temporarily pulled Episode 18 off-line due to a few audio glitches. It is now back and ready for your download. If you previously downloaded it, go back to your podcatcher and download the new, improved Episode 18.1. Thanks for your understanding and patience.
Sorry about that!

I’m on yet another business trip (blech!) and of course my portable microphone decides not to work. Argh!
Take heart, fellow Freds. While I’ve been wrestling with the audio I’ve also been playing with the web site. The re-design is now (mostly) complete including the new FredCast Forums! So while I sort out the electronic situation (and go to a few business meetings), have fun on the site and start communicating with your fellow Freds!
