A lot of our listeners recognize the Deep Fried Bytes theme song.  We thought we’d allow you to carry it with you wherever you go.  Thus, we made DFB Ringtones!  Not only will this impress your friends but it could also score you a free t-shirt, sticker, mug or other prizes if we hear it at a community event.  Here’s how to get it onto your phone.

Download the ringtones for your specific device:

DFB Ringtone for the iPhone
DFB Ringtone for Android and Windows Mobile

Windows Mobile Setup

Download the file to your computer and then plug in your phone.  Then copy the file to your phone and change the device in settings to use the new ringtone.

Android Setup

Download the file to your computer and then follow the steps in this article to get the ringtone on your phone.

iPhone Setup

Download the iPhone version of the ringtone (ends in .m4r).  Save it to a permanent location on your computer.  Then plug your iPhone into your computer and let iTunes launch.

In iTunes go to the File->Add File to Library…

Once added the ringtone will show up in iTunes under “Ringtones”.

Select your iPhone in iTunes and click on the Ringtones tab.

Make sure the ringtone is going to sync with your iPhone and press the “Sync” button at the bottom.

After the sync, go to Settings->Sounds->Ringtone on the iPhone and select the Deep Fried Bytes ringtone.

“Hey Deep Fried Fans!”

Elly Mae, our mysterious announcer for http://deepfriedbytes.com, is having a birthday today.

Both Woody and I are deeply saddened by the fact that we aren’t able to be with Elly Mae today on this special occasion because we are currently at the MVP Summit in Seattle, WA. 

To make Elly Mae feel special, we’d like to ask a favor.  Take a few moments and email Elly Mae telling her Happy Birthday and how much you enjoy her participation in the show. 

We meet people all over that tell us how much they love Elly Mae and we pass it onto her.  But, what better way than to tell her yourself! 

Send your greetings to:

Co-Host Deep Fried Bytes

We had a blast recording live from PDC 2008!  We managed to get about nine podcasts recorded during PDC.  Now the hard part begins, the post production work!

On the last day of PDC 2008 we rounded up all the podcasters we could find to do a round table discussion and recap PDC.  We recorded a show with Jeff Atwood of Stack Overflow and Jon Galloway, Scott Koon and Kevin Dente of Herding Code.

Our good friend Laurel Ruma from O’Reilly took this picture of us recording a show with Oliver Sturm of Devexpress.  As you can see, we were right in the middle of expo recording.  We’ll be doing a lot of post production work on the audio to make sure we remove as much background noise as possible but WOW did we record some great shows (and we aren’t just saying that either).

A big thanks to all of our guests and friends that stopped by to say hi.

To see the line up of shows we’ve got coming out head over to our Up and Coming shows page here http://deepfriedbytes.com/up-and-coming/.

UPDATE: Found a photo Scott Koon took while we were recording the podcaster round table.

Deep Fried Bytes will be at PDC 2008 in Los Angeles, CA in a few days.  There are lots of announcements coming out and we’ll be there to hopefully give you a unique perspective on things. 

If you bump into us, stop and say hi.  We’ll have some stickers to give out but supplies are limited (first come first serve). 

The best way to keep in touch with our whereabouts is via Twitter since we are keeping a loose schedule for recording purposes.
