There's a problem with this week's show! I can't record it. The reason I can't record it, is I'm a bit poorly. Not dramatically poorly, just a bit. Poorly enough, that if I was in a proper job I'd probably throw a "sickie" or "duvet day" as I've heard it called, but I'll survive. The real problem is that I've a heavy head cold and cough which makes me sound awful. No issue with sitting in front of the Mac all day, but really, you wouldn't want to listen to me for 30 minutes and I really don't feel up to recording the necessary couple of hours of material needed to edit down to 30 minutes. This creates a major issue for me as there is no plan B. At least, not formally. Each weeks show is usually recorded a couple of days before the publication day. That way I can keep things fresh and responsive, able to jump on any new developments or new software that comes out. The downside is that there is no buffer. If there's a problem like this week, I have no fall back. Yes, I know I should probably have a couple of shows in the can for times just like this, but I haven't - something I should address perhaps, or at least have one show in the can at all times. I'll try and sort that out. So what to do for this week..... OK, so to completely contradict myself, I have a spare show... sort of! It's not a normal show, it's a short tutorial that was commissioned by a previous sponsor of the show to put on their website for a new release of some familiar software. I completed the recording earlier this week, before getting sick. My original intention was to record a normal, Mac related show this week (important point!), publish the normal show today as usual, and then next week, publish this short iPad episode as a bonus show. As there is no normal show today, I could either not post anything, or throw this short tutorial in the feed so you've got at least something to watch. But there's another issue (stick with me, nearly there). It's about some iPad software. Not just any old iPad software, but the ...
