Hilarity from Ludwik
Another feed from Ludwik. Apart from the daily feed and the all-episodes download feed, the new "all week long" RSS feed gives you the Saturday and Sunday episodes feed - with the opening and closing themes, plus the Show-Free Saturday theme, and Sleeping-In Sunday theme respectively - that is, the best of DGW. Check out the feeds at gizwizsearch. Ludwik is waiting for a Ludwik theme, and Leo improvises on the lyrics:
He's Polish and he's crazy
He likes to write but he's lazy
He wants to download every daisy
Just Ludwik Trammer-ly ...
And Ludwik notes that Episode 634 on the Lexmark All-in-one is the longest episode so far, and the first one over 30 minutes. Meanwhile, you can follow Ludwik on Twitter, and he's just Ludwik on Leo's new TWiT Army Laconica service.
