Because its mercifully short… 😉 Try it you might like it. As [Cote](http://www.redmonk.com/cote/archives/2006/03/redmonk_radio_0.html)says: > [James](http://www.monkchips.com) and I talk about a grab-bag of exciting topics, from [open source systems management](http://del.icio.us/bushwald/opensource+sysmgmt), to Microsoft’s [People Ready campaign](http://del.icio.us/bushwald/people-ready), to comments about [episode one](http://www.redmonk.com/cote/archives/2006/03/redmonk_radio_e.html). > > I broke this recording into two parts, so the second part should be available later this week. > > You can download the episode directly by [clicking here](http://media.libsyn.com/media/redmonk/episode02-redmonk.mp3). > > Or you can subscribe to the podcast feed: [http://feeds.feedburner.com/RedmonkRadio](http://feeds.feedburner.com/RedmonkRadio). > > Also, you can send comments to : MP3’s or text would be great.

A little [Tivoli](http://www.ibm.com/tivoli) and Austin software – hello Mr Wilby. I admit my most embarrassing moment in a meeting. ever. by some margin, which concerns Tivoli founder Steve Marcie, a great guy, but not hard-charging red meat CEO material. Microsoft People Ready? I hope so – software doesn’t install itself. And some other stuff too.
