The Adult Space Child Free Podcast

Gah. It’s been a bad stretch, and I don’t like to record when I’m this tired and grumpy. It’s very plain in my voice, and I wouldn’t want to listen to it, so I don’t post it.

I have 2 theories on why my neighbors-beneath have resumed their thumpy bass every night at 11:30 and a brief period on weekends before 10 am: 1. Summer is party time. 2. a college kid has returned to their household for the summer that I did not miss since Xmastime. College “kid”… see, it’s on topic! Ok, no. Now I just feel old. Anyway, this has done not-good things for the Chris and her needed weekend sleep binging and early bedtimes.

So I just need to record earlier in the week and earlier in the day. Maybe at lunch. How would you guys feel about some car-casting of intros and outros? Possibly some parking-lot casting? Is that better than long delays? Pretty soon, I expect some finalized good news that should alleviate that problem for awhile, but that doesn’t help the NOW. Details when they’re final.

Post a comment, let me know if a decrease in background noise quality would be ok in the short term or if you’d rather wait a bit longer. I’m hoping to post this week, maybe this weekend, but the partying downstairs might be extra-craptastically vibratory this weekend (US Independence day). So I hope to be talking to you soon. And be a less snarly fixed kitty for everyone’s good. CF out.

First, thanks to all for info and offers of support. I’m driving down to LA to a specialty clinic next month. (the local place was a forwarded phone number… coming to my area this fall)

Second, the next interview is edited. It will air in 2 halves, the first next week, then (gasp!) the second the following week.

Third, um… no third. Ok, now to divvy the interview up….

Laters!

 

 TASCF Ep057: Childfree Step-parents [39:33m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Thanks, Happy Things, a Brave Men Run promo, and an interview with Kim, a childfree woman dating a divorced dad. Warning: we swear.

On the mega-plus side, thanks to Nobilis for the lead on a local doc who deals with CFS. Next week, I have an appointment. Now let’s hope he can treat it, too, or find out that whatever else is wrong with me is readily treatable!
CF, back soon.

My voice is back (again) and I’m recording the intro/outro. I expect the file to be up and posted tonight or later during the week if I have the near-constant posting problems. *sigh* I haven’t podfaded so much as kept hitting the pod snooze button. But really, it’s coming!

OK, I give. I need help from you guys trying to get treatment. Here’s the file that I would greatly appreciate you hearing and passing along through the podosphere: http://www.gettingby.net/index_files/CFShelprequest.mp3

I will put it into the other feed this week. Please pass it along and help if you can. Thanks.

The feed subscription buttons may not be working, or at least the images are gone. Back soon, once this is fixed.
Swearing under breath,
CF

I’m nicknaming this one “Frogthroat Fever.” Costume Con was awesome. See May 1st at my Live Journal. Yes, I’ve been sucked into that web community thingy, but it’s not as bad as the Twitter crack.

Back soon, I hope. I need to do an upgrade on WordPress, so if this breaks, please pardon the absence and check the LJ for news of me until I get it fixed.

CF

See the comments on the previous post. I’m working on it, but it may take a few days. I will also put up another file in ~ the next week, depending on the amount of time the fix takes.

She of a thousand naps, signing out.

An interview with JohnCmarMD, brought to you by fomites
(note: file location fixed on April 10)

First, administrivia: new forums! http://www.farpointforums.com/ we’re toward the bottom of the show list. Please sign up and join the discussion.
Special message for CRN (childfree resource network) and Hudson: my attempts to reply to your email fail. Please provide me a working email address.
And the interview with John Cmar, an Infectious Diseases doc. We talk about geekiness, med, the podosphere, and lab geekiness. And the usual CF questions tossed in there periodically. I had loads of fun talking with John, and all glitch bits are due to my editing it down to under an hour.

Happy Things- season 4 of Mur Lafftery’s podiobook Heaven is out and Podcast du Fromage on Free Planet X. And 365 tomorrows.
OK, I’m recovering from being sick last week, so another episode in about 2-3 weeks.

I’m caught up (mostly) from being out of town, etc. I have recorded the next episode, and just in time! My voice is going. It should be up within the next week.

Talk soon, CF

Family funeral took DH and I back to Toledo for a week on short notice, and we just got back. Next podcast should go up in a week or so. I have a lot of life-catching-up to do first. My luggage should arrive tomorrow, then work, laundry, cooking, rescheduling the stuff that got skipped…

Back soon, folks. FYI, CF

Hey folks! After 2 rounds of voice loss and fever, here’s Episode 55 with loads of Contraceptive News and some Happy Things.

Erngh. Some problems with uploading the file. Up soon, after some tech support.
Chris the Fixed Kitty, signing out for now.

(Podcast fans, fear not, I expect the next episode will be out this week. My voice is back, now I can record again, edit, etc.)

Please join me and other Bay area steamheads for a costumes-encouraged-but-not-required lunch on Sunday, February 24, 2008 at 12:30. Show off your latest project, find ideas for accomplishing the thing you have sortof sketched out, or trade resources and discuss steam-powered literature, music, or movies!

My attempts to find a place with adequate parking, etc. in Union City and Hayward did not meet with success, so we’ll be at 39200 Fremont Blvd, Fremont, CA, between Mowry Ave. and Beacon Ave. The Fremont Bank is best seen from the street, and in an inner lot there is plenty of parking, my favorite local Mediterranean place (Falafel, etc. , $5-$10 a plate, 510-795-7170) with indoor and outdoor seating, a Chinese restaurant, and Nation’s Giant Hamburger. We can vote on a restaurant once we’re at the parking lot, although I highly recommend Falafel, etc.

IMPORTANT: I have invited the steam-interested members of the local costume guild as well as 2 LJ communities, so commenting HERE is the only way to coordinate all of you. Please use the comments here to find/share rides, etc. Email me at chris @ gettingby.net if you have problems commenting in the website (not pocast@ like usual here).

RSVPs- A “Maybe” comment/email is ok if you really don’t know, but notice of roughly how many AND HOW MANY IN COSTUME is requested. I intend to wear my Agatha costume and steamed-up denim coat, PROVIDED at least 1 other person/group comments here that they are definitely showing up in noticeable costume. If you are suddenly unable to come or wear a costume as you had previously indicated, PLEASE email me, even if it’s only an hour beforehand and other people said they were also dressing up.
Yours in Science, Chris Fisher, CSO HMA Ingenuity

I recorded the Contraceptive News Chunk on Friday, but couldn’t finish the whole episode before losing my voice entirely. Hopefully next week I’ll have the next podcast up.

I’m home sick today, after the fever came back briefly at work yesterday. I’m still voiceless but less out-of-it. Henry and I have had tickets to see the Cirque show Kooza tonight in San Jose for 3 months now, and I’m hoping to be well enough by then. Not dizzy or nauseous, that’s all I need.

OK, back to naptime,
CF
