March 25, 2007 Audiobook
RSS Feed has moved See http://www.alexwilson.com/telltale/index.xml (going along with the site rebooting and all; there have also been a few new releases since the last one showed up on this feed).... 
January 28, 2007 Audiobook Site Rebooting Good news. I'm setting up a PayPal payment process that behaves more like Bitpass. The download page will appear immediately after payment (an email will also be provided), and there will be no extra logins/passwords required: only a PayPal account will be required. This will replace the current, more complicated PayPal system. I hope to have the site rebooted and "changed over" within the week. Thanks for your patience.
January 20, 2007 Audiobook Bitpass is Closing Bitpass, one of the two payment methods at Telltale, is closing. Please bear with me while I figure something out. PayPal purchases are not affected. So the funding of Bitpass accounts has been disabled, but customers have through next week to clean out their accounts, so I'll be leaving the Bitpass links up temporarily. Bitpass, one of the two payment methods at Telltale. I've also received word from customers that Bitpass has instituted "maintenance fees" on the remaining balances of customer accounts. If this has happened to you, contact me. I'm sorry to put customers through this. I've had few complaints with the Bitpass service until now.
