A podcast of the orginal post What do all the sites without a CMDB do?

I don't get paid to say nice things and I don't get paid to review anything. You may have noticed Google and Amazon ads on the site, as well as ads for my books and merchandise. I make money off them, but sod all. At least it covers the hosting with a bit left over.
