This episode was nearly called "Two Sweaty Men II" as it was a very hot Sunday for a change. Pete and Matt seemed to struggle on this one a bit, although, as per usual with tdtrs, the end result is far better than the team realised while recording it. Pete starts out by bitching about his stupid idea to upgrade to Ubuntu 12.04; even though he swore blind in episode 28, he never would and the unusable pile of lard he ended up with!

​Matt is totally mystified as to why Pete has put a story about Kodak's reactor into the warming-up slot and then sucker punches him when he gets all excited about O.A.D. with an amazing display of disinterest. Good friend of the show, x1101, helps us bring back "I hate your blog", and "Room x1101" gets an outing, too, with Matt wanting to do away with Kickstarter with things getting slightly heated.

The team are dumbfounded at the lack of feedback, but quality over quantity prevails as this episode's postbag produces probably the most interesting part of the show. Matt and Pete discuss the deletion of the tdtrs Wikipedia page, and Pete flies off into a rage, and a reader's email gives us this show's title.

Kodak: Nuclear Reactor

O.A.D (Age of Empires type RTS game for Linux)

Remote Notifier

This app allows you to send notifications over local wireless, the Internet
(via UPnP) and Bluetooth. It even allows you to encrypt the information so
some other bastard can't read it! There are also a ton of options to customise
the notifications....basically just install it already and try it yourself!

WiFiKeyboard

This app lets you control your phone via your computer keyboard. It works
pretty well, but someone needs to send the developer a patch because some of
the keyboard controls are shit!

Also, if you want a good music player, check out Vanilla Music; it's a no-bullshit music player which looks pretty nice (It follows the ICS design
guide)
