Um, you know

Filed under 2webcrew, Norg Media on 10th Jan -08

Finally, Cameron Reilly invited me on to G’Day World to talk about Norg. I even think I got in more talking than him :)

Anyway, it was great to chat to him and I really enjoyed it. You can listen to the show here.

It’s been pointed out in the comments that I say “you know” a fair bit. Apparently I did it on an earlier podcast with Duncan as well.

According to Myles, who has to listen to me most days, it’s my “brain pause”.

I hope there’s more to the show than just … you know. I plan on expanding a few of the things we chatted about on the show here on this blog and at Norgdom (the Norg’s blog).

Thanks Cam, does this mean I’ve hiked up my skirt?

  1. I picked up a habit from a teacher I really admired at school of filling brain pauses with a pensive look. It makes you look really wise. It wouldn’t really work on a podcast however.

  3. Welcome to the “y’know” club. Alli rags on me constantly about it being my version of “um”. I tend to use it when I’m talking off the cuff rather than doing prepared speaking. Maybe I need to listen to Barack Obama more - he never falters and is compelling!

  4. Bron, you were talking with Cam about a mobile version of Norg, as you use WordPress (fix Norg’s about page, please) this ought to be a doddle - try one of the links on here for starters - http://feetup.org/blog/blogging/Norg-goes-mobile.html

  5. Hello Bronwen, as JimH mentioned above we have a service that makes it really easy to publish a mobile version (http://www.mowser.com). Not sure what kind of hackery you’ve done on your Wordpress install, but we even have a Wordpress Mowser Mobile plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mowser-wordpress-mobile/

    Generally it plays pretty well with other changes, but I would be happy to help out if you have some issues.
