Matt is is left ‘holding the baby’ this episode as Pete decides there’s something far better on the TV than entertaining the great unwashed masses of the FOSS community. Given Matt’s chronic monophobia as reported in the Lower Piddle Gazette last Tuesday, Les Pounder (AKA lesp) and Jon Spriggs (AKA jontheniceguy) step in for a threesome with Matt.
We hear how Pete was let down by Jon’s personal URL shortening service disapearing up its own jaxy which in turn broke just about every link on the shows website. As you would expect from a typical FOSS member it’s all someone else’s fault and anyway “I didn’t think he would use it here there and everywhere.“
Room x1101 makes a comeback with Flash being the target of Matt’s venom but flash finds an unlikely ally in jontheniceguy! Les finally reveals the only reason he came on the show was to pimp Ucubed and bleats on and on about it.

So here is the second show of 2012 and it’s a fun packed load of old twaddle as usual. Pete shows that he is clearly a professional podcaster now by completing three, yes three segways during the random chat section.
Matt tells us all about his new found love for NginX and how it thumbs it’s nose at Apache. The team also discuss Ubuntu TV which Canonical deliberately delayed till after EP18 so that TDTRS didn’t get a scoop on other podcasts.
The main topic this episode is “The Blackout Effect” discussing what, if any, effect people and wikipedia’s blacking out of their websites had on the SOPA protests.
Finally Matt and Pete in an effort to push glue up hill wade their way through the fifty two paragraph feedback emails that was sent in. And in the closing minutes Matt tells us some worrying news about EP20! What can it be? Oh god I have to listen now!

♫ ♪ “The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town.” ♬ ♩
Yes, Matt and Pete return from their Crimble break stuffed full of chocolates and tangerines. The team tell us about the gifts Santa delivered and how one of them does like a nice pair of comfy slippers. Pete tells us about his dog Archie and his visit to the vets (Not for the faint hearted) while Matt is totally confused as to why it’s in the show. We hear how one of the co-hosts will be signing autographs at FOSDEM while the other will be sat eating cold bake beans in front of a candle.
Matt makes a slight mistake and links to the wrong G+ post (This is not facebook.) where Pete gets all passionate about ‘Contributing’ (Pete’s rant) The subject on everyone’s lips at the moment is SOPA and the guy’s offer this up for discussion in Room x1101.
The main topic this episode is “Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Arch, Debian, Fedora - How much does it all matter?” the guys come up with a brilliant idea for a definitive Linux distribution and Pete actually teaches Matt something for a change!
Matt gets to uphold his firm belief in openness and lays the TDTRS accounts open to scrutiny by the community revealing the amount of dosh that’s been donated to date. During the feedback details Pete completely loses it about a hand bag incident over Identi.ca.

Tis the season to be jolly and the team are full of it! This episode we are joined by NYbill moderator for the Linux Outlaws forum, American (it’s not his fault) and all round good guy plus as a bonus his lovely wife wishes The Dick Turpin Road Show a Merry Christmas at the start.
We hear what the guys have done to give their hiding places that Christmas spirit, Matt and Bill talk about their new laptops and Pete is still going on about his parking fine.
Given it’s Christmas there’s a brass band interlude and the main discussion is about shops. For some strange reason the feed back section still has it’s music even though there is no feedback? But the boys finish up in classic festive style.
To one and all we wish you and your loved ones a very Merry Xmas
Pete & Matt
