29:35 - All else fails. There's routers are in the way, and you can't get them configured. There's a web based tool called http://www.gotomypc.com. Essentially, you download and run the program on the PC you want to connect to. That PC then logs onto the Internet and connects to gotomypc. Then using the internet The client PC connects to gotomypc and logs in. Because both computers are initiating the communication on an out going basis, it allows routers to be circumvented. I have not used this process, but have read about it.

Episode 11 Coming Real soon!

Hi all. I recorded the podcast last night. I uploaded it to ourmedia.org, but as usual their upload tool crapped out on me several times. Instead I uploaded it via FTP to the Internet Archive, but it's been sitting there "Waiting for a curator" to verify. I hope it'll be available tonight, if not then tomorrow for sure.

Sorry for the delay.
