I’ve also tried listening to a number of QA podcasts recently and they are apparently universally boring. Could these people sound more uninterested in the subject they’re covering? I realize non-game QA might be less interesting. At least these people speak clearer than I do. However, they’re so incredibly dull. I’ll keep trying, maybe I’m just listening to off weeks for them. Not linking to any in particular since I don’t want to offend their creators who have obviously spent a significant amount of time creating their podcasts.

I’d do a Game QA podcast experiment if only I had some more people to do it with and a better idea of what to discuss.

It has at least been incredibly interesting doing the audio editing for this project, and it also got me to check out the latest state of phpwiki. Which I’d been meaning to do for some months now.

WIkipedia running Media Wiki is an unintentional problem, kind of like the slashdot effect, but for development. You see, since they use Media Wiki software, and they’re the most popular wiki, the most development gets spent on Media Wiki…

So today I go and set up a quick PHP Wiki, and it hasn’t changed in a year practically. This is the effect I’m talking about, no significant changes in a YEAR. This is ridiculous, I’m going to check out any other quick wikis that don’t require databases and see if they’re sufferring the Wikipedia effect too.

Oh and, for what it is worth, I don’t hate Wikipedia. I actually do some editing there.
