News and updates- Food Geeking is not forgotten

Greetings All,

Food Geeking is not going to go away, but it is due for some upgrades and and retooling. There are a number of changes that will occur- the show however, will go on.

Before diving into any of that, I would first like to thank everyone who has donated or made offers of content and assistance. If you have submitted anything to me it will not go to waste and will appear in upcoming shows. Carrie P., C.A. Sizemore, Justa J0e and others have made contributions or offers and this material will be used. If you are interested in contributing please send materials to myself at my Food Geeking email address, consider leaving it as a voicemail or send it to me as a file.

The first and most substantive change will, unfortunately, be less involvement from Tim. He will continue to contribute, but his other commitments have prevented him from being as involved as we had originally planned and hoped. This means that I will be taking on the majority of the tasks related to the show.

The second situation currently affecting the show is my search for a new job and with it plans of relocating. Ninety percent of my books, cookbooks included are packed. I'm now split between working on shows and putting my life in order for the inevitable move. I am trying to manage a bit of both, which means neither activity is actually getting proper attention.

Therefore, I would be more than interested and willing to accept assistance from those interested in helping, in a number of areas.

1) I'd love to find a couple additional additional voices, either as co-hosts or principal contributors.

2) Assistance with recipe wrangling and data entry. One of the largest time sinks that I've run up against is the amount of time it takes to type up all the recipes from scratch and the instructions which accompany them.

3) Technical knowledge- particularly when it come to keeping the site updated and learning the nuts and bolts of Drupal and the over arching process of running a podcast. I've had some time to play with editing and posting the show, but much of my time has been absorbed by recipe creation. I want to fully learn the editing and feed process but would be more than willing to share this work while I learn.

I've got a number of shows mapped out, and with the recent acquisition of proper headphones (thank you Santa!) my recording efforts should become much easier.

If you'd like to offer your time, efforts, expertise or voice to Food Geeking, please contact me directly. Otherwise, please have a bit more patience and stand by, as more Food Geeking episodes will be forthcoming. Until then, eat well.
