Another good episode.
As a side note – you’re now showing up in WordPress Dashboard RSS entries, along with photomatt, et all (congrats!).
.. so you might want to shorten those post titles a bit. :)
We use Fuzzy Hosting. Been with them for over 2 months and we never had an issue.

Another fantastic podcast! Awesome collaboration Charles with Sara and Mark! Both Sara and Mark do an amazing job. (There may be a little volume issue with Mark’s section, it seems a bit quieter than the beginning)

I almost laugh every time you say Fuzzy Hosting. It is quite the name. I have no idea what “A Fuzzy Approach to Hosting” means.
No, I have never been pleasantly surprised by a thumbnail images of sites on hover over. The thumbnails are just to small to give any useful information.
Great show once again Charles. I must agree with Lloyd you saying Fuzzy Hosting make me chuckle. Although I like their site and might give them a try.
Can’t wait for EP 10 :)
Mark Jaquith reviews were very helpful, thank you!
Well done Mark!

I found Marks reviews helpful.
I think the licensing of Spam Karma (it is free to use) is actually much clearer than that of Akismet, especially if you host multiple commercial blogs.
Mark was fighting a cold when he recorded, and he has a normally light voice.

I was attacked by a dog during your ad for fuzzy hosting – true story, I was walking and listening to the podcast.
Could you possibly take down the length of the ad for them next episode? Might save me from being bitten…
Xitanto,
I am so sorry about your being bitten while listening to episode 9. Could it possibly be that it was so interesting and engaging that you failed to notice the dog running up towards you, and not some causal relationship between advertisement length and canine attacks? :)
Seriously, even Fuzzy Hosting agreed it was too long. Heck, I thought it was too long!
Don’t worry, they’ll be shorter in the future.
cool
