Knee-deep in Tech

The twentyninth (and first episode of 2018!) episode is up, a.k.a the "on the ball" episode!

This time we talk shenanigans with PowerBI and ODBC connections, WANem for WAN emulation, Meltdown and Spectre, yet another insider build and what's in store for 2018.

We are now on iTunes! Much easier to subscribe, and we've also switched over to Pippa.io for file hosting. Expect some small technical glitches while we get settled in :)

As always we gladly accept tips and criticism, as well as ideas for content for us to cover. Just tweet me (@arcticdba) or Simon (@bindertech)
