<p>This is HPR episode <span class="math">${1889r) entitled &quot;$</span>{experiencing the meegopad T-02 part one}&quot;. It is hosted by ${A Shadowy Figure} and is <span class="math">${13} minutes long. The Summary: &quot;$</span>{And now for something completely different}&quot;</p>
<p>Apologies to speed listeners. I just couldn't make this episode speed-listener-friendly.</p>
<p>This episode was made out of respect and admiration for the HPR contributers mentioned throughout the show.</p>
<h3 id="disclaimer">Disclaimer:</h3>
<p>I barely have a clue of what I am doing. And there are mistakes all over the place in this episode. It's just something I wanted to through out there to change things up a little, and pay homage to those I admire, and with a little luck, inspire others to use their creativity to record an episode of their own.</p>
<p>You can do better. And I want to hear what you have to offer.</p>
<p>The meegopad T-02 turned out to be something I wouldn't recommend to others, and the follow-up episode to this one will be a walk through of what it takes to &quot;hack&quot; the T-02 into being something that is usable.</p>
<p>Depending on the feedback to this episode, I can either follow the theme I started with this show, or do a more traditional HPR episode with a no frills walk through of the process of hacking the T-02 to work as advertised. So let me know what you prefer.</p>
<p>Apologies to listeners from outside North America. The many slang terms used throughout the episode are representative of the hard boiled genre of noir to give this episode a certain &quot;feel&quot;.</p>
