Now that the weather is much nicer I've started working on some home improvement projects and listening to my huge backlog of Podcasts. I thought I would highlight a couple that I've found interesting.

FLOSS

FLOSS might be bane of my existence because every other podcast has some project I think I need or want to try but don't have time for...

#329: OWASP ZAP

I've heard of the Zed Attack Proxy before and it's always been one of those tools I've told myself I need to learn but I've never made time for it. I'm going to start trying to include it in my manual testing.

#330: Docker

I dismissed Docker early on but after this podcast I've read up on it some more. It's interesting and I'll try to include it in future applications I write but it seems like it would be hard to transition to it on an existing project. It also looks like it's a little difficult to use if you have more than one project on the same server because you need to setup a separate nginx for each project and one to act as a front end proxy on a single server. I've just started looking into it so that might not actually be the case.

#331: OAPI

This podcast covered something that I think is an irreprehensible part of my gender and that's men harassing people who are different than they are (actually I don't like when anyone does it but it seems like it's always white men in the news). Online Abuse Prevention Initiative is being setup to help reduce online harassment:

The Online Abuse Prevention Initiative (OAPI) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to reducing and mitigating online abuse through:
* the study and analysis of abuse patterns
* the creation of anti-harassment tools and resources
* collaboration with key tech companies seeking to better support their communities

I'm going to donate some money when they start taking donations.

Hanselminutes

Hanselminutes normally talks about programming related topics but the March's podcasts were about making and creating DIY stuff.

March Is For Makers: Electronics and Electricity 101 with Andrew J. Dupree

An excellent overview of electronics.

March Is For Makers: 3D Printing with Printrbot's Brook Drumm

I want a 3D printer after this. I still can't justify the price.

March Is For Makers: Enclosures for your DIY hardware projects with Bertrand Le Roy

Damn! Still want a 3D printer...

Three Devs and a Maybe

I'm still on the fence about this but it's a podcast by a bunch of guys that talk about the projects they're working on and technologies they're learning.
