For those of you waiting for regular releases of the show or at least a new show, you wont have to wait much longer. I have been working in the background practicing my content collection skills. I even had a few weeks were I had a weeks worth of information for a show I just didn’t have time to produce the show. Not only have I improved my collection skills but I have improved the show creation process. Once some things quite down for me you can expect a new show. Who knows I might be able to pull off a series of shows.
The Forums have been updated and they are now open for business. All users will need to reregister again.
I know there hasn’t been a new show for a while but they will be returning very soon. I have been updating the website on the back end. The other thing I have been spending a decent amount of time on is stream lining the show creations process as much as possible.
