Welcome to the HPR family

Hey Peter,

So good to hear you on Hacker Public Radio, I hope this is the start of many shows from you, given how close you are to other podcasting communities.

I've heard bits of this story in various forms over the years, but it was incredibly interesting to hear the whole story from the start. Thanks for sharing!

I wonder if you'll stay true to form and go back to episode one of HPR (or even Today With A Techie - 300 episodes that immediately preceded HPR?) and work your way forward? 😀

Looking forward to the next one!

Welcome to HPR

Hi Peter,

This was a great first show, done with just a mobile recording and upload, and the sound quality is very good. Nothing done in Post, so Thaj would be proud. :)

I look forward to hearing about God's Pantry Food Bank and how it all was started.

Welcome as HPR host!

Peter,

Welcome as host on Hacker Public Radio!

You mentioned ICQ in this episode. I also used ICQ back in the days. I think they can be seen as one important forerunner to where we are today with chat softwares.

Linux Mint

Thanks Peter for sharing, and also for letting me join the Linux Mint Facebook group you founded. I've learned many things from the community ☺️

Hey Peter! Great to hear you on your first episode of HPR and putting a voice to the name! Enjoyed hearing your personal computer and Linux journey history. Hope to hear more episode from you in the future!
