  • TCS 004: A sugar addicts journey – one year with no sugar

    12/04/2018 Duration: 15min

    I have had a long terrible relationship with sugar. As a baby I was given a flavoured sugar syrup as a pacifier which was common in the late 60's in Australia. So from the beginning of my life my body has craved sugar. This is my story 1 year after actually giving it up for good. Below is the transcript from the podcast so you can easily go to a point of interest and for the hearing impaired to be able to read it. Tony: [00:00:29] Hi everyone today I want to talk about my journey giving up sugar a year ago. It's been just over a year now. So I want to share some of the things that I've experienced and how it went. Today I've got two co-hosts I'm very lucky I've got Sam and Fynn say hi Fynn, hi. Tony: [00:00:56] Yep two of the best co-hosts in the business. You know what I've been trying to give up sugar for years I've tried quitting and it'd last for about two weeks and then I'd start saying I can just have a little bit of something a little bit sugar and within an hour or two of having some sugar I was ba

  • TCS 003: Anyone yes anyone can roast their own coffee, no beard required

    29/03/2018 Duration: 15min

    Why do it Home roasting is very easy and about costs maybe $20 in simple equipment to get started. You can have your first batch of coffee roasted in about 5 mins once you get just 2 pieces of gear and some  green beans. Also you can roast in small batches so you have a continuous supply of freshly roasted coffee rather than getting to the bottom of stale bags. Negatives You can only small amounts at a time 100-150grams so don't expect to be supplying your extended family anytime soon. Also with this method the heat and fan speed are fixed so you get the same roast style each time and its a quick roast so you may want to play around with the roast details later mods or other equipment. Roasting equipment Popcorn Machine normally under $10 from op shops, ebay, gumtree or garage sales. I have found the Breville Crazy Popper to be one of the best as it has a strong motor and plenty of power. One that has the vents in the bottom section is what you need to force the beans to circulate with hot air and roast.

  • TCS 002: Hackers gonna hack

    12/03/2018 Duration: 13min

    Here is a story about dealing with a website that has been hacked. I got an email from a digital agency I work with who had one of their websites hacked. This podcast walks through the process I followed to find and remove the hacking in relatively simple terms. This is what the website looked like Cpanel access You will need your cpanel login details for the webhosting you have for you website to follow these steps. Usually you can access it via your website addresss/cpanel eg mywebsite.com/cpanel then use the username and password they sent you when you set up your webhosting account. Replace wp-admin and wp-includes (NOT wp-content) Got to wordpress.org and download the latest version of WordPress. Then replace the wp-admin and wp-includes folders on your website with the new ones you downloaded. This is done by unzipping the wordpress file you downloaded from wordpress.org and then zipping just the wp-admin folder and the wp-includes folder as a new zip file. The upload that via the cpanel file manager

  • TCS 001: Welcome to the Tony Cosentino Show

    11/03/2018 Duration: 17min

    Welcome to the first episode for the Tony Cosentino Show. Today my co-host Sam and I kick things off with firstly and overview of the things I will be talking about in the podcast in future episodes like film photography, fountain pens, coffee roasting, WordPress, giving up sugar, coloured hair. The main subject of this episode is analogue photography as I think it is worth considering due to many things like ability to archive better for the long term ie 20 years, slowing down and taking less photos with more care and attention. Sam also talks about fart guns and colour changing gum boots. Intro music by : www.bensound.com
