      • Illegal Argument 58 - Seeking Fame and Fortune

        An extreemly short, heavily edited show with minimal podcast content after Antony drops a bombshell announcement on us.

        After editing a discussion that went in complete different direction than we planed, we spoke briefly about the continued hudson fallout and writing Scala applications in GWT.

        Look for a more organised podcast sometime in the near future.

          • Illegal Argument Episode 56

            Illegal Argument 56 with Julian Harris, of Google UK.

            Due to both the overly relaxed nature of the conversation following the Christmas break, and the sounds of a school being burnt down a few blocks away, this show has been rather heavily edited, and suffers from some sub-par noise.

                    Recorded a few weeks ago, we have a short episode to wrap up the end of the year (ok, it's short cause I edited out a large portion of waffle, which was an interesting discussion, wasn't really focused enough to be coherant for listening).

                      From the archives of "you thought you'd never hear it" comes Episode 52 of Illegal Argument.  We originally recorded this almost a month ago and for one reason or another we found ourselves snowed under and unable to release it.

                      Unfortunately due to various reasons I don't have show notes available, so this post will get updated with notes soon.
