In the intro, thanks to Paul, Steve and Ryan for their new monthly donations starting this week. Badges are on their way or should be soon.  I also remark on my upcoming 5th anniversary as a podcaster for those that don't read the blog.

Listener feedback this week is from Jed in response to the Inner Chapter on why programming is hard. I mention the news cast from the 13th, the piece Bruce Sterling mentions about smart-aleck programmers by Jonathan Edwards.

The hacker word of the week this week is fence.

The feature this week is a monologue discussing my decision to move back to an open stack here in the lab. I mention Dan Gillmor's Salon article discussing the very same thing and my Nowhere to Go rant.

<p>Slightly OT: I tried to use the Flattr for this episode but the link seemed broken. It might just be me though (I doubt it was a temporary network problem because I did it over a wired broadband connection). Clicking on a previous episode worked. </p>

<p>Sorry for that, seems to be working, now.  I suspect it is the Flash player that causes problems with the Flattr script, but not all the time.  I will eventually replace that particular player since the WordPress plugin that adds it hasn&#8217;t been updated in a very long time.</p>

<p>In answer to one of your questions in this episode &#8211; I would certainly miss the index marks that you code into tha AAC version of the podcast. While I enjoy the breadth of subject matter that you cover, not every news item resonates and if I find that you don&#8217;t have my attention on a given piece I just skip to the next.<br />
Of course, I appreciate that you&#8217;re puting the podcast together unpaid and in your own time and couldn&#8217;t sensibly accede to every listener request. You should concentrate your efforts on what benefits the production most. If the AAC version of the &#8216;cast goes by the wayside, it&#8217;s no big deal. I&#8217;ll still subscribe to the regular mp3.<br />
Thanks for your continued efforts on the show.</p>

<p>I suspect if push comes to shove, most won&#8217;t unsubscribe if the chapter marks go away.  My use of bumper music is intended to help those listening to the non-AAC feeds but with devices or tools that can scrub the audio skip segments as desired.  I&#8217;ve gotten a decent amount of feedback similar to yours, that while folks enjoy the show, they enjoy it more when they can skip a particular story that is maybe not of interest.  I&#8217;ll consider tweaking the format further if chapter marks go away to make the scrubbing option that much easier to use.</p>
