SkinCast - Episode 4

This week's guest: Jafo

from WinCustomize Forums

We've made it a full month now with the SkinCast!  For Episode 4, WinCustomize Administrator Jafo joins the fun to talk to us a bit about the history of skinning and WinCustomize.  Unfortunately, mymicrophone blew up about 2min before we started to record so this week is just Island Dog and Jafo.

Next week, we're hoping to pull in RomanDA to talk about DesktopX and all various things gadget related.

For me this so far has been the most interesting episode. Why, the history lesson that was provided and hearing/listening to Jafo.  :CONGRAT: 

I think we fail to realize how world wide customizing has become. :HOT: 

I can't wait for some of the other members of the community to agree to be on SkinCast. Hmmm, that would be very interesting, get as many members from different parts of the world that you can to agree to be on SkinCast. :SURPRISED: 

I've been lucky to be able to travel to different places around the world and always found myself wanting to listen to conversations by folks either in English or their native language.  ;) 

Love the music.

There was a mention of GUI Championship this year. I know we already had one in the beginning of the year but is this going to be a Wincustomize sponsored one?

There was no GUI Champs at the start of the year, there was just the community contest BX ran.

There will be a 2008 GUI Champs later this year  :)

This is definitely my favorite episode! I could've listened to Jafo talk for a whole hour.
It was a very interesting history lesson on skinning, and from a non-skinner standpoint it gave me better insight and that much more respect for the art.

Great work guys, and thanks to Jafo for doing this. :CONGRAT: Looking forward to hearing from more regulars on the site.

By the time Zoomba had returned with a new mike the three of us rabbited on for about 3 hours.....

It was fun to do...and I'm happy to do another, but there are squillions of others I'd rather hear from first...;)
