    Nice podcast. I'm wondering, have you been using Blueprint lately? I've been looking at another grid system called 960 Grid System ( http://960.gs ). I think it's nice, but I haven't spent any time with Blueprint to compare. What is your take on grid frameworks in general? Reasons for and against them?

    Haven't used them directly myself yet. I did some tests with the YUI grid system, but nothing concrete. In general, I *like* the idea though, and am still planning to try to use one in a production system over the next few months.

    I am a new listener. In your podcast (I think it was this episode), you mentioned you are working on some flash code to allow a user to record their voice upload it to the server, and have it almost immediately available to playback.

    I want to find a way to allow users to test their microphone functionality prior to entering a flash based web-conference application. I thought your application might help.

    You had mentioned you would be willing to share this with people. If you still are willing to share this, could you contact me? I would appreciate it.

    Thanks.

    @Ryan:

    My raw flex files are here: http://audiblab.com/flex/mgk/audiblab_flex_files.tgz

    However, more recently I used http://sourceforge.net/projects/intelligerevrs/ and it's a more feature complete codebase (focuses on video as well as audio, but it's not hard to make it audio only) and it has a 'preview' concept as well.

    Good luck!

    Small bugreport :) Tried to use links on the page and discovered that you exchange HREF and ALT anchors.
