- No more ITauthor for a while
Sun, 25 Nov 2007 13:40:09 +0000
Suddenly I’m no longer in the documentation business. My job changed from Documentation Manager to Bid Team Manager. I’m currently involved in preparing proposals for a couple of new business tenders, which is going to leave me no time for podcasting, or even blogging. So - at least for the time being - ITauthor.com is [...] - ITauthor podcast #11 - October 31st, 2007 - Flare: the good stuff

As an antidote to podcast #10, which dwelt a bit heavily on problems in Madcap Flare, this time round I talk about some of the things I really like about Flare. Get in touch! I’d love to know who’s listening, where you are and what you think of the podcast, so contact me at: comments==AT==itauthor==DOT==com Or [...] - ITauthor podcast #10 - October 24th, 2007 - Why do we use Flare?

So remind me: Why do we use Flare? In this podcast I talk to fellow technical writer Graham Campbell about Madcap Flare. Graham is relatively new to Flare but has been using Flare 3 in anger recently and went on a training course run by Mike Hamilton of Madcap in London a few weeks back. He [...] - ITauthor podcast #9 - May 27th, 2007 (16mb)

What does it take to be a technical writer? What should you be looking for if you’re recruiting a technical writer? In this podcast - recorded while driving home from work – I describe some of the skills and personality traits I expect in someone who wants to spend their working life documenting software products. Get [...] - ITauthor podcast #8 - May 19th, 2007 (31mb)

The dogcast (from an original idea by Tom Johnson). In this episode of the ITauthor podcast I puff and pant my way up the Pentland hills just outside Edinburgh, walking my dog, thinking back to my first impressions of computers and software, and talking about documentation. This stream-of-consciousness, 43-minute podcast rambles on a bit, but it [...] - ITauthor Podcast 07 - recorded 17 October 2006 (28mb)

Back after 6 months. I start off with a short recap of what?s been happening in tech authoring while I?ve been away. Most of this show is about DocBook and the DocBook XSL Stylesheets. More about DocBook at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Docbook There?s also a really nice tutorial at: http://www.codeproject.com/winhelp/docbook_howto.asp which includes some very handy tips about using sed and make to automate processes at [...] - Podcast 05 - recorded 28 March 2006 (66mb)

Warning This podcast weighs in at a whopping 1 hour 32 minutes! Next time round I?ll try to be more concise, and I?ll try to cut out some of the ums and ahs, which should slim things down considerably. Sound qualityI don?t know what happened with the sound quality, but it?s particularly [...]
