Yeah, Gar, I use GoDaddy and they've been fine for me. And cheap.

Signed up with Godaddy. They surprised by calling at the next morning to try to sign me up for enhancements, and maybe sell me their web hosting.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Does anyone have any podcast service recs? I'm trying to help a friend get into the blog/podcast arena.

Hey, folks. Anyone have a recommended disk erasing utility?

Talking of Recs.

From what I can see Buffistas have made the following hosting recs (for simple web sites):

ehostpro [link]

Apollo Hosting [link]

Dream Host [link]

Any others?

I host thevelvetedge.com with JaguarPC. They're pretty decent.

I've had a great experience with Insider Hosting for the past three or four years.

I just Jumpline and they work pretty well especially with multiple domains on one account.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

FAQWife is looking for a portable voice recorder that she can use to record interviews. It's got to have a way to connect with a telephone for phone interviews as well. Anyone have any recommendations?

Our wings are not tired

How much is she looking to spend? The M-Audio Microtrack is quite good for this kind of work and gets used for portable news gathering. It records stardard media files to a compact flash card so it's quite easy to edit and to import into a computer. The Marantz PMD660 is a bit more expensive but is built much better and has much better mic inputs and things like that.

Both of these items can take standard mic interfaces so with the right telephone coupler they should work fine. I'll check really quick on telephone interfaces.
