And it's, I think it's going to cause quite a stir. 41 00:02:48,500 --> 00:02:54,500 I also think it's pretty unbelievable that even though the press got a hold of 42 00:02:54,500 --> 00:02:57,500 it and they really didn't even discuss much in the in the documents on the 43 00:02:57,500 --> 00:03:01,500 RTL News, they said, hey, here it is, they did, they made it available via 44 00:03:01,500 --> 00:03:04,500 download on their website which almost impossible to get because it would just 45 00:03:04,500 --> 00:03:08,500 got totally swamped and 46 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:13,000 They didn't really discuss much of the content. It seemed like the scoop of them having it. 47 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:18,000 The fact that someone had leaked that to them was the story all by itself and what almost went 48 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:28,000 unnoticed is what's in the budget. By the way, not really good. Let me see. Oh, yes. Slash. 49 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:37,000 Pointed to ipodder.org yesterday. Now the correct verbiage I believe is that I was slash. 50 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:45,000 Or we were slash dotted ipodder.org. This happened to me I think once, maybe twice before. 51 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,000 And it's really fun because you notice it. Your email starts pinging with all kinds of people 52 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:55,000 responding to whatever the site that's linked to. Sometimes you get all kinds of messages that 53 00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:03,000 your servers are burning out and running down. Now in this case, I have to say the load was not 54 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:10,000 on me because ipodder.org is actually hosted by Radio Userland when you buy Radio Userland. 55 00:04:10,500 --> 00:04:13,500 You get, I think it was $35 a year. 56 00:04:13,500 --> 00:04:15,500 You get an annual license for radio user land 57 00:04:15,500 --> 00:04:17,500 and all their updates. 58 00:04:17,500 --> 00:04:19,500 And you get storage. 59 00:04:19,500 --> 00:04:22,500 And I think I've purchased additional storage, 60 00:04:22,500 --> 00:04:27,500 but you get a certain number of MEGs that you can use. 61 00:04:27,500 --> 00:04:30,500 And since iPod.org, I just kind of routed that as a category 62 00:04:30,500 --> 00:04:31,500 for my web blog. 63 00:04:31,500 --> 00:04:34,500 By default, it goes to the user land server 64 00:04:34,500 --> 00:04:35,500 and it held up beautifully. 65 00:04:35,500 --> 00:04:37,500 So thank you very much user land. 66 00:04:37,500 --> 00:04:43,500 May I say, well worth the price of admission for that service. 67 00:04:43,500 --> 00:04:45,500 I didn't go unnoticed by some of the other folks 68 00:04:45,500 --> 00:04:49,500 who were working on iPod.org and on programs 69 00:04:49,500 --> 00:04:51,500 and shows of their own. 70 00:04:51,500 --> 00:04:56,500 Dave Slusher, who brings you the evil genius Chronicles, 71 00:04:56,500 --> 00:04:58,500 noticed that iPod.org got slash dotted. 72 00:04:58,500 --> 00:04:59,500 And he had some remarks about it, 73 00:04:59,500 --> 00:05:02,500 which I thought were pretty funny and some things 74 00:05:02,500 --> 00:05:03,500 that I also noticed as well. 75 00:05:03,500 --> 00:05:06,500 I'm going to play a bit of Dave's audio blog, 76 00:05:06,500 --> 00:05:08,500 or actually his show from yesterday, 77 00:05:08,500 --> 00:05:10,500 which was titled Mr. Microphone. 78 00:05:10,500 --> 00:05:12,500 We're going to skip the Mr. Microphone. 79 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,000 and listen to him about slash dot what he feels about it. 80 00:05:16,500 --> 00:05:23,500 slash dot is what it is in general. It's interesting. So here's Dave Slasher from evilgeniuschronicles.org. 81 00:05:23,500 --> 00:05:32,500 Today, the iPodder link was slash dotted. And you know, I used to read slash dot a lot, 82 00:05:32,500 --> 00:05:38,500 and I just kind of stopped. And for a similar reason that I've actually considered stopping 83 00:05:38,500 --> 00:05:43,500 reading boing boing, which is that all the really good stuff that I care about comes 84 00:05:43,500 --> 00:05:48,500 in from either was from other sources that I already read before it was there, 85 00:05:48,500 --> 00:05:55,500 or somebody's going to post a pointer to it. And both of them have a lot of crap that I just could not give a shit about if I tried. 86 00:05:55,500 --> 00:06:00,500 You know, on boing boing, it's, you know, Cory Doctro, God love him, great guy, great writer. 87 00:06:00,500 --> 00:06:06,500 Man, if I see another post about Disney, I am just going to vomit Mickey Mouse ears. 88 00:06:06,500 --> 00:06:10,500 You know, I don't give a shit about Disney. And I especially don't care, you know, 89 00:06:10,500 --> 00:06:15,500 I post seven posts every day about Disney and Disney World and Roy Disney and Michael Eisner. 90 00:06:15,500 --> 00:06:17,500 Who gives a fuck? Fuck this. 91 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:25,000 Disney. So, you know, and so, you know, if I were in like, Jenny Jordan or however you 92 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:30,000 pronounce her name, you know, robots and objects shaped like Hello Kitty, you know, after a 93 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:35,000 while, Jesus Christ, how many things can be, you would assume that eventually Sanrio will 94 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:40,000 shape everything, including, you know, enema balls, be like the, you know, the Choco 95 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:46,000 Cat enema ball. So, after a while, the novelty is not there anymore. Now, were 96 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:51,000 I a boing-boing contributor, everyone would get sick of seeing more like 97 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:56,000 Mexican wrestling stuff, you know. No one else cares as much about your fetishes. 98 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,000 That's the nature of the fetish. But I get tired of it. And same thing with 99 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:05,000 Slash. After with Slash. It's mainly the commenters. And the only reason I ever 100 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,000 got a Slash. account in the first time, because I really don't care that much. 101 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:14,000 And I once cared and I just stopped. So that I can log in to my account and 102 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:20,000 then just put the comment threshold up to five. And often I don't, I just 103 00:07:19,500 --> 00:07:23,500 go out of my way to not even scroll down low enough to see the comments. 104 00:07:23,500 --> 00:07:28,500 And if you look at the comments that are kind of on that iPod or post, 105 00:07:28,500 --> 00:07:32,500 it is prototypical for the horseshit. 106 00:07:32,500 --> 00:07:36,500 It just makes me not care anything about slash dot comments 107 00:07:36,500 --> 00:07:42,500 because you could easily machine generate all the threads on there. 108 00:07:42,500 --> 00:07:47,500 You have like a probabilistic script that will say, 109 00:07:47,500 --> 00:07:51,500 okay, certain percent will say, that's already been done. 110 00:07:51,500 --> 00:07:53,500 Certain percent will say, is that all there is? 111 00:07:53,500 --> 00:07:56,500 And a certain percent will make stupid jokes about something 112 00:07:56,500 --> 00:07:59,500 and a few will be completely unrelated. 113 00:07:59,500 --> 00:08:03,500 And a few will tell other people what an asshole they are for thinking this. 114 00:08:03,500 --> 00:08:05,500 It's just nothing to it. 115 00:08:05,500 --> 00:08:09,500 If that was the only thing I knew about online communities 116 00:08:09,500 --> 00:08:11,500 was slash dot comment threads, 117 00:08:11,500 --> 00:08:14,500 I would think that was the worst shit in the world. 118 00:08:14,500 --> 00:08:17,500 Why does everybody talk about this?

It should be any outliner that supports it 212 00:13:30,500 --> 00:13:34,500 but you know there are a lot of good ones out there that already support OPML. 213 00:13:34,500 --> 00:13:37,500 You can easily manage your subscription. So I think that's something good that we 214 00:13:37,500 --> 00:13:38,500 should be looking at. 215 00:13:38,500 --> 00:13:42,500 And I got an email. Let's see. This is from Andrew Clark. 216 00:13:42,500 --> 00:13:47,500 See where's Andrew from? I don't remember. He's talking about 217 00:13:47,500 --> 00:13:51,500 the long-term of actually starts off by saying I think in the long-term 218 00:13:51,500 --> 00:13:55,500 storing MP3s in a web server won't really scale. He's done the math and he says my 219 00:13:55,500 --> 00:14:01,500 daily source code MP3 is already total 438 megabytes for just one month of shows. 220 00:14:01,500 --> 00:14:04,500 I don't know if I've been at it for a whole month, maybe half a month. 221 00:14:04,500 --> 00:14:08,500 And he says well sure that's not a problem for Adam but it may be for a lot of people. 222 00:14:08,500 --> 00:14:12,500 So what he eventually winds up saying is you know this is and by the way I 223 00:14:12,500 --> 00:14:16,500 don't think the storage is a problem because even if you're using BitTorrent 224 00:14:16,500 --> 00:14:17,500 which is what he leads up to. 225 00:14:19,500 --> 00:14:22,500 You're still going to need the storage, whether that's locally or on a server. 226 00:14:22,500 --> 00:14:27,500 Granted, most people don't have the luxury of a server sitting somewhere with just gobs 227 00:14:27,500 --> 00:14:31,500 of gigs laying around to be filled up. 228 00:14:31,500 --> 00:14:35,500 This is definitely a problem and I think BitTorrent is indeed the way to go. 229 00:14:35,500 --> 00:14:41,500 So the next step is how do we publish RSS files and their enclosures? 230 00:14:41,500 --> 00:14:42,500 What do we put in the BitTorrents? 231 00:14:42,500 --> 00:14:46,500 How do we get it from A to B? 232 00:14:46,500 --> 00:14:52,500 That's a really big step that we have to take because it's not the storage that necessarily 233 00:14:52,500 --> 00:14:53,500 is the problem. 234 00:14:53,500 --> 00:14:54,500 It's the bandwidth. 235 00:14:54,500 --> 00:14:56,500 You don't want to know what kind of bandwidth I'm pushing. 236 00:14:56,500 --> 00:15:00,500 It's unbelievable, especially after the iPod or slash dot. 237 00:15:00,500 --> 00:15:04,500 A lot of people start listening to the source code and every single time someone fires 238 00:15:04,500 --> 00:15:10,500 up a new install of iPod or boom, they're going to get 10 of my files. 239 00:15:10,500 --> 00:15:16,500 So that's roughly around 200 to 300 megs. 240 00:15:16,500 --> 00:15:18,500 So you can do the math on that. 241 00:15:18,500 --> 00:15:20,500 Obviously that's not going to scale. 242 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,000 I think BitTorrent is totally the way to go. 243 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,000 So I'm looking forward to anyone integrating 244 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:30,000 any type of BitTorrent functionality into an iPodder. 245 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:31,000 And I bet you there's someone out there 246 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,000 who knows just how to do it. 247 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,000 A little bit of politics on the source code for today 248 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,000 is we're 15 minutes into the show, 249 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,000 really based upon two pieces of audio 250 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,000 that I want you to hear. 251 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,000 It's about Bush. 252 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,000 And the first bit that I'm going to play for you, 253 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:48,000 about three minutes. 254 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,000 And the great thing about the show, of course, 255 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,000 or any show within the iPod platform 256 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,000 is if you don't like what you're hearing, 257 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:56,000 you just skip ahead, right?

She was part of a team that successfully recorded part of the initiation ceremony that 336 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,000 takes place in the tombs courtyard. 337 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:23,000 Okay, you have the doorway here. Then to the right you have a hedge and then you have an 338 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:28,000 evergreen tree. If you follow that line straight back, courtyard's in there. 339 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,000 So that's where they have the ceremonies in the courtyard. 340 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:34,000 The outdoor part of it, part of it was indoor. So we only got to see the outdoor part. 341 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:38,000 We only got to listen to the outdoor part. God only knows what went on indoors. 342 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,000 And what did you hear? What was it? You know you managed to 343 00:20:40,500 --> 00:20:45,500 forget this unique access. Oh, it was disgusting. It was rough. I mean, they were pretending 344 00:20:45,500 --> 00:20:50,500 to murder people. What was the tone of it though? Was it, was it joky or is this one? 345 00:20:50,500 --> 00:20:54,500 It was just, no. It wasn't joky at all. It was, it was sick. But they only could describe 346 00:20:54,500 --> 00:20:55,500 it, it was sick. 347 00:21:01,500 --> 00:21:06,500 What you're hearing is the first recording ever made of the Scullum Bones initiation ceremony. 348 00:21:06,500 --> 00:21:09,500 It has never been broadcast before. 349 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,000 15 new members of the club. 350 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,000 Okay, I'm going to stop this bit here. 351 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,000 So, fascinating stuff to listen to. 352 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,000 Although, I have to be honest. 353 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,000 Well, first of all, isn't it great the way the BBC does this? 354 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,000 You know, it's a beautiful accent. 355 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,000 The Schollenberg Club on the Yale campus. 356 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,000 It's just, oh man, could you read the phone book for me 357 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:36,000 and just let me listen to it? 358 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,000 That'll be nice. An audio book or the phone book 359 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,000 done in proper English. That'll be very nice. 360 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,000 So, it's a good listen if you can find it. 361 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:47,000 I'll see if I can find a place to point to it on my web blog, obviously. 362 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:51,000 And I have to be honest that, you know, to the Brits maybe 363 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,000 or someone who doesn't know what college fraternities are like 364 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,000 and initiation, you know, all that screaming may seem 365 00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,000 a little wacky and a little violent and whatever. 366 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:04,000 But personally, I went to college for, hmm, see, three and a half months. 367 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:08,000 I was at Salem College in West Virginia. 368 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:12,000 My roommate Tyree was from Hamilton, New Jersey. 369 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:17,000 Hamilton was from Newark, New Jersey. His name was Tyree. 370 00:22:16,500 --> 00:22:24,500 Hamilton. The college was about 60% black and since I was from Holland I wasn't white and 371 00:22:24,500 --> 00:22:29,500 I faithfully pledged Kappa which was an interesting initiation, you know, carrying around a brick 372 00:22:29,500 --> 00:22:33,500 and stuff like that. So that doesn't freak me out too much but the whole story is just 373 00:22:33,500 --> 00:22:36,500 interesting to listen to, particularly when you think about how many US presidents in 374 00:22:36,500 --> 00:22:43,500 recent history have been bones men or members of Skull and Bones. And something else that, 375 00:22:43,500 --> 00:22:48,500 well this is a total political statement, not by me by the way, but something I picked 376 00:22:48,500 --> 00:22:52,500 up from MixFreaks.org. Not quite sure who made it, but it's another wonderful montage. 377 00:22:52,500 --> 00:22:58,500 It's kind of an audio version of a Michael Moore. But it's just, it's a, it's a, 378 00:22:58,500 --> 00:23:02,500 it's well done. It's a great mix. It's George Bush and I want you to listen to it. It's 379 00:23:02,500 --> 00:23:05,500 only two and a half minutes and we still have a whole song of the day to come. But 380 00:23:05,500 --> 00:23:10,500 check out the death of democracy. If you think that your kid is not ready for certain 381 00:23:10,500 --> 00:23:17,500 kinds of environmental simulation, I think it's okay to talk about that. 382 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,000 Ladies and gentlemen, the president of the United States 383 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,000 Death of democracy for the American people 384 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,000 This credits their narrow ideology 385 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:31,000 Death of democracy for the American people 386 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:35,000 We will make this an age of war and misery 387 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:49,000 Progress must end 388 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,000 I've come here tonight to report to all Americans 389 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:08,000 tolerated such an opportunity death of democracy for the American people discredit their narrow 390 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:08,000 ideology 391 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:28,000 of Americans. 392 00:24:34,500 --> 00:24:40,500 their narrow ideology, death of democracy for the American people. 393 00:24:40,500 --> 00:24:42,500 We will make this an age of war. 394 00:24:58,500 --> 00:25:01,500 Killing is necessary. 395 00:25:04,500 --> 00:25:09,500 necessary.

some advice on that. 474 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,000 I've heard some people say, smoke it now, 475 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,000 but I don't think it's gonna burn very well. 476 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,000 So everything's on paper towels 477 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:28,000 to get up some of the moisture, 478 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:32,000 and then I'm gonna hang them upside down in a dry place 479 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,000 to see how, yeah, see if we can get that done. 480 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:36,000 I don't know how long it's gonna take, 481 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,000 but I promise once we've harvested, 482 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:40,000 once everything's dry, 483 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:43,000 we're gonna do a little tasting on the show here. 484 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,000 I failed to point out yesterday, by the way, 485 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,000 that in many countries in Europe, 486 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,000 certainly in the Netherlands and in Belgium, 487 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:55,000 you are allowed to have five marijuana plants 488 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:56,000 for personal use, 489 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,000 and you're also allowed to have marijuana 490 00:30:58,000 --> 00:30:59,000 for personal use and to smoke it. 491 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,000 The only problem is you gotta get it from somebody, 492 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,000 and that's, you know, you're allowed to buy it, 493 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:06,000 but you're not allowed to sell it. 494 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,000 So it's kind of a funky law we got going on here. 495 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,000 It doesn't matter, I'm not fighting the system, 496 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:11,000 I'm happy the way it is. 497 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,000 Shout out
