Coming soon - Episode 45, and your invited to come in!

Hey guys, a bit of a change for this upcoming episode.

Shaun is likely to not make it for the episode, so I am calling out for anyone with a interest in tech and would like a bit of a laugh to come on and either be a guest on the show, or sit (err, chat/listen) in on a episode with me!

I plan to skypecast the actual episode while I record it live, although the edited version will still be a few days after the event.

All you need is skype, a microphone, and the ability for us to be on at the same time - fairly easy!

I look to be online on Skype after 7pm, Melbourne time (+10 GMT), so if you are interested then send an email to us at austechnews@gmail.com !

Anyone is welcome, so don't be shy and it'll be a great time.

*edit*
Test to pre skypecast chat:
Is right here

This weeks tip:

Freeware download meter:
For the people fed up with having to do things like buy DU Meter, this is a freeware way of seeing how much bandwith and speed you are really using up with your internet. The good parts of this one include a estimate of what you will use that month, good for staying under your cap or download limit!
DailyDIY to the rescue again!
