Wonderful show as usual guys: great combo of humor and analysis.

I have the added feature that Simon’s silent ring-tone needs, and he can email me to get it when he’s ready.

Are you guys going to make the move to irc for the chat? If you’re worried about local-ness, then you can use shadowfire (www.shadowfire.org) – it has 3 local servers and 4 international ones. It’s also registered with http://www.mibbit.com so you can have people join the channel from the web. Mibbit also has a widget you can embed inside your webpage.

If you guys want help setting up a channel, I’ll be happy to help, but I’m sure you’ve tinkered with IRC enough to do that.
