Sandals In The Masturbatorium

MP3

This week we’re joined by Paul’s wife Tina (Twitter, Website) & we talk body functions, children and Weight Watchers.

  • While Tina & Chris discuss medication side effects, Chris admits his sugar substitutes don’t rise to the occasion of baking.

  • Paul asks Chris about his new avatar which was created by Len Peralta. You can get your own from FlipFace.me and check out Len’s podcast, Geek a Week.

  • Oops, the conversation boiled down to arkOS, Raspberry Pi and SeaFile yet again.

  • Troubles with installing beta software leads to lots of learning. Chris has learned much about Linux and sampled a few distros. Yet, he still has much more to learn.

  • OpenBox is the amazing desktop environment/windows management for linux that has won Chris’ heart.

  • Macbook battery cycling is supposedly serious business if you want your battery to last. A lesson learned the hard way.

  • Weight Watchers points will not allow you to purchase a Behringer Ultragain Pro Mic2200. Fortunately, Paul was able to get one as a birthday gift.

  • Chris has found a way for a diabetic, and most likely a healthy mammal to commit suicide. Simply eat this pie from Red Robin.


I Divulged

Resuming our half-and-half episode format, it’s Season 2, Episode 6.

  • Chris talks about a previous show with Jonah, where he learned about Tom Cruise’s middle tooth!

  • Paul thinks Tom Cruise’s middle tooth could be the Silence.

  • Chris is using Privacy Badger, a plugin for browsers from the EFF that blocks ad trackers.

  • Want to chat without cell service? Check out FireChat.

  • ProtonMail boasts security and encryption for the average user. It’s an email service started by some CERN scientists.

  • We talk iMessage difficulties.

  • Chris uses FolderSync to sync his photos with OwnCloud. While Paul used ScannerPro to copy receipts to OwnCloud.

  • Is NFC coming to Apple? Rumor!

  • Chris admits he’s a closet reality show fan because he watches MasterChef.

  • Paul’s watching The Wil Wheaton Project.

  • Montreal Sauce has no sponsors, but they talk about all the commercials on television, OnDemand and product placement.

  • From the chat room to Paul & Chris, the world thinks Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. went from bad to decent.

  • Meanwhile, Paul is concerned with Samuel L. Jackson’s health.

  • Paul & Chris explore the Montreal Sauce history of foley sounds made with the mouth. Paul talks an awesome Star Wars parody he did & Chris talks about a parody he made of a Maya Deren film.


I Need More Cake Baking Appliances

It’s time to get back on the Sauce. This week, we’re back to Paul and Chris, Canadiéno-e-Americáno.

  • Chris vents about using PixPlant, an app to make seamless textures and maps.

  • These Futurama references to the reptilian space Pope & zombie Jesus are so quick it will take the links longer to load than to play. play.

  • SeaFile is a self-hosted drobox-like service that Paul is trying out because OwnCloud is a bit slow on the Raspberry Pi.

  • Turn your Raspberry Pi into a router? Why not, Chris is already pushing his routers with the open source dd-wrt installed on them.

  • Paul tells Chris not to worry about his routers because Samba sharing isn’t the greatest anyway.

  • As night falls in the Midwest, Paul’s picture fades to black in Skype which brings back memories of bad school portraits to Chris. Remember those reflection style portraits?

  • Chris wonders why anyone would buy a Macbook Air, but Paul thinks mobility is the reason. Who wants to lug around a 17 inch laptop these days? Here’s a Macworld article featuring one idea.

  • Chris and Paul talk screen size for working and mobile.

  • Kingdom of Loathing, a hilarious parody of RPG games that is multiplayer fun.

  • Constantine is coming to NBC in the Fall.
