Dear Diary,

It seems like a long time since I wrote anything of substance here. Well, that's because I've been busy. You know what it's like, Diary, work, family, football, they all eat time.

Of course I've been busy working on the Mellow Monday Show and the Old Firm Podcast. I've even made up a new picture for the Old Firm Podcast. What do you think?

I hope you can listen to it when you get the chance. I've been playing about with iWeb on my Mac computer, creating little websites. It's been fun.

The summer holidays are almost here, so I'll be off for a bit, but I promise to make sure there are enough Mellow Monday Shows to keep you going.

I've changed the feed for the tartanpodcast, so if you aren't subscribed to http://feeds.feedburner.com/tartanpodcast please change over to it now. If you've got iTunes just click here. If you don't want to use iTunes, just install Winpodder (if you're running Windows), I've put a link over on the right. The man who created it has included the tartanpodcast as one of the default subscriptions, which is very nice. It's weird though, I seem to have lost a lot of listeners this month. Maybe messing about with the feed has something to do with it. Oh well, hopefully you'll all come back.

A lot of people have completed the listener survey, which is very kind, thanks. I got an email with all of the information you've written in the survey. I got to find out the things you like most and least about the tartanpodcast. Very interesting! Some of you like it when I talk, some of you hate it. One of you really doesn't like my sense of humour. If you haven't filled out the survey, please take a few minutes to do so.

The Hollywood Podcast has be brilliant recently, with host Tim really letting the listeners into his life. Fascinating.

Podcast User Magazine is coming out in a week or so. I've finished my 'Mark: My Words' column. I've written about Podshow coming to the UK and podcasters back-pedaling as a result. I've also created the magazine cover again this coming month. The magazine is still free and even though the publishers didn't make big grand promises at the start, it's managed to reach 6 issues, being the world's first podcast related magazine.

Ok that's about it for now, Diary. Hope you're doing well.

Mark
