Chocolate
Back in July I tweeted the following:
Best 6 chocolate bars:
1. Cadbury's Caramel
2. Boost
3. Lion
4. Toffee Crisp
5. Chocolate Orange bar
6. Mars— Joe Ressington (@JoeRessington) July 19, 2015
Isaac told me I was wrong so I decided to send him some chocolate to prove that ours is nicer than American “candy”.
Guns
Isaac owns guns and likes to murder animals with them. I ask him all about it.
Feedback
Thanks to Craig Squire for the offer of free toilet seat covers.

London UK Linux/podcaster meet up – Thursday Nov 12th at the Mulberry Bush pub near Waterloo station from 6pm
Scott is coming back to the UK so it’s time to have another meet up! It’s an excuse for some podcasters to get together but it’s also a good chance for anyone who is into Linux and Open Source to have a few drinks and a chat with some like-minded people in a nice informal atmosphere. Anyone and everyone is welcome, so spread the word and bring people along!
Confirmed attendees so far are Scott Newlon (mintCast), me (mintCast/Linux Luddites/The Pi Podcast), Jesse (Linux Luddites), Alan Pope and Martin Wimpress (Ubuntu Podcast/Linux Unplugged).
Directions to the Mulberry Bush
Leave Waterloo via the original main entrance in order to head towards the South Bank. The main entrance is found by turning left after coming through any of the ticket barriers, and is at the far end of the concourse beyond platform 18, on the right next to the lost luggage. Head through the glass doors and down the stone steps, if you find yourself on a bridge you’ve gone the wrong way, come back and look on your left for the glass doors.
Once down the steps head to your left, cross some zebra crossings and generally follow what is likely to be the main crowd towards the traffic lights to cross York Road. The aim is to stroll along Sutton Walk, the pedestrian walkway under the blue lattice bridge, towards the South Bank. Once under the bridge continue straight towards the Royal Festival Hall and you will shortly reach a T-junction with Belvedere road before you actually get to the hall.
Turn right and walk along that road – this is the home straight, except it’s the longest section of the trip! I’m afraid this part isn’t much to look at, you’ll pass the National Theatre, IBM and ITV and just when you think you’ve gone wrong, the Mulberry Bush will appear on your right hand side.
The route looks like this
The pub looks like this
To find the booth that we have reserved, walk to the end of the bar and look to your left.
Hopefully see you there!

We spoke about Donald Trump and the American electoral system.
We mentioned MicroSoft’s new AI and spoke about Windows 10.
Isaac mentioned an old story about the Chinese government banning Windows 8.
The Recall on cars getting hacked led on to discussion about the Internet of things.
