For those of you who pay attention to where the MacStansbury Podcast originates, you'll see that it's served from the .Mac server that I'm paying for. It helps alleviate what could be a rather large bill every month for all the people that download my podcast.

Why are you laughing? People listen to it. Really. Stop snickering.

The worst part is that to get it up there, I have to use something called iDisk, the worst piece of crap that Apple's ever shoved down the innocent throats of its users. I swear, it's buggy, slow, unresponsive, and an embarrassment to all internet service providers. Didn't expect that from me, did ya?

Look, I love Apple as much as the next guy, but their use of WebDAV is just horrible. I just spent 2 hours trying to upload a 7 Megabyte file. This wouldn't be surprising if I was on dial-up, but I've got a cable modem, and I wasn't doing anything but uploading.

You would think that after 6 years, they would have the iDisk problems worked out. But....no. If it wasn't for the fact that I've already paid for the privilege of using their bandwidth, I would never use it. I hate iDisk.
