Well maybe you can tell, Misty and I recorded the podcast late Saturday night after we both had a long day so we're a tad bit grumpy with each other. Oh well, that's life. So no guessing about where the title came from. :) A late arrival was the ne...
Wow it's been a week of change on the farm this week. Almost everyone speaks up on the podcast this week, including Cleo who bellows through the entire episode. =) Topics we cover: Feedback and Caroline's new goats Book: Goats Produce Too! PHP pr...
This weeks episode is a little different. Instead of going through the entire episode taking out 20 minutes worth of audio out I didn't do any real editing at all. I just mixed in the audio clips and everything else is raw from the barn. In realit...
The rooster is awake! You can't miss him, we recorded the podcast Sunday morning so he's up and about showing us his stuff. The week we cover: Comments and feedback Our new domain, www.geekfarmlife.com, thanks Scott! Our new fence! Seeds Make sur...
Number 11 is up! Run time is closer to our goal of 30 mins. I was down to 32 minutes, but then I mixed in a 10 minute sound seeing tour while we mucked out a pen. Oh well, I hope everyone enjoys it. This weeks show: Misty complains about Firefox...

Yay! We made it to the double digits. This weeks show is way way too long. We're just trying to cram too much stuff in. Not only were we tired recording it, but it was much too long to edit. Even if there wasn't much editing. =) Expect next week...
Hey everyone, Ok this isn't a podcast, but we have two promos up. One is really short, around 15 seconds, the second one is 35 seconds. If you know anyone who might want to play it in their podcast, or if you have your own podcast and play it let m...
Barncast number 9 is up! "Podcasting from the barn at three-elms farm, with two tons of hay strapped to our asses..." Heh, nah. This week is a fun show, it's done in daylight! We talk about daylight savings time even more, man when are we going ...
Another podcast from the barn! We have a few unstable hay bales, but we managed to make our sound, umm, studio in the barn work again. The animals are pretty well manered except for the ducks who try and steal the show a few times. This weeks show...
Even though we're fiddling around in the barn at night, we managed to make a podcast. This week we look at the big change about to hit Indiana! We're not sure even we can survive it, but we'll try. We then talk about the new lambs, and then tal...
Babs the sheep had her lambs late last night or early this morning! One ewe, 9 lbs. One ram, 13 lbs!? Both are doing well. We're going to bottle-feed the ewe and use her as a replacement for Ewenice (the sheep with an attitude).? The ram will stay ...
A true barncast this week. Andrew speaks really fast, must be the extra caffeine in American softdrinks? Misty tries to talk over the animals. This weeks topics: Car trip back home Cream's milk production Wool is back! Indiana Sushi New Cat name!...

Cream went into labor today while I was at the grocery store, somewhere between 11 and noon. I got back around a quarter after noon, and 3 kids had been born! While I dried them, sexed them, weighed them, and swabbed their belly buttons with iodine...
This hasn't been a bad week. No goat kids or lambs yet, so it hasn't been a ton of work. The weather was mild at the beginning of the week, but it's gotten colder. A few 'newsworthy' things happened. One of them was that I broke the well in the b...
I think Cream is in the very early stages of labor. I finally got the baby monitor out in the barn working this past evening. I woke up at about 3:30AM to a lot of goat noises. I think it's mostly Cleo making noise, but I went out to check things ...
