Markus on .NET Rocks!

On Friday, March 26th 2004, the Internet Radio Talk Show for .NET developers - ".NET Rocks!" - invited me on the air for an interview. This turned into the longest .NET Rocks! show ever recorded (at least up to that date). You can listen to the recorded MP3 file, either by downloading the show either from the .NET Rocks site (www.Franklins.net/dotnetrocks), or from Microsoft's MSDN site (msdn.microsoft.com/dotnetrocks). Also, just in case these sites ever disappear, I took the liberty to mirror this show on my own server (click here to download).
