Probably loads. Mike works in London for a rather large international bank, hosts a blog (Grumpy Old Programmer), gets up to all kinds of cool stuff with Ruby, What can you say about Mike Woodhouse that has not already been written? Probably loads. Mike works in London for a rather large international bank, hosts a blog (Grumpy Old Programmer), gets up to all kinds of cool stuff with Ruby, bosses stack overflow (10k rep!), and likes cricket. Oh and he’s not the least bit grumpy. In this podcast I chatted to Mike about Test Driven Development, and it place in the Excel/VBA landscape, we also discussed his add in XLUnit, design to help developers test VBA classes using the TDD approach. Warning, unfortunately the MIE server was a bit rubbish when we did this podcast, so the recording is a poor.  I’ve spent an absolute age editing, but it’s still poor, but stick with it, its worth it.

Anyway this completely unnecessary detail is provided to basically flesh out what is in fact a very boring story. Bob pointed out that the last podcast was not showing up in iTunes. In fact what has happened is that the wordpress plug in I used for podcasting has become compatible with the current version of wordpress. The result was the RSS feed did not get updated, hopefully this will now be fixed, as I have installed another plug in, so this is a repost to try and get the RSS feed sorted out, sorry...

It’s getting off to a great start here on MIE, with a podcast from Rob Collie of Microsoft. Rob, for those of you who don’t know, is a leading light in the world of powerpivot, and run  powerpivotpro.com, a blog devoted to powerpivot and BI. If you haven’t head about powerpivot yet, have a listen and find out more, if you’ve been playing with it, I think you’ll find this quite interesting. Feel free to leave some comments with any feedback about this podcast, and also any ideas for future podcasts, thanks. Side Note: I believe that we will need to find a suitable acronym for poweropivot, suggestions? pvp, pp, pptv, pvt??? Important stuff!
