1 00:00:07,500 --> 00:00:12,500 Well, howdy everybody. 2 00:00:12,500 --> 00:00:15,500 Your source code coming to you from Curry Castle in Belgium. 3 00:00:15,500 --> 00:00:16,500 My name's Adam Carr... 4 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,000 I'll say Thursday the 23rd because it's 14th. 5 00:00:43,500 --> 00:00:45,500 A PAID SPEAKING 6 00:00:52,500 --> 00:00:55,500 of the radio show, the morning radio show stopping. 7 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,000 I knew that I wanted to get out of the house. 8 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,000 And also, you know, that's for the best. 9 00:01:16,500 --> 00:01:24,500 Any regular stuff is for gas or should I say for a one jet fuel to be precise 10 00:01:24,500 --> 00:01:27,500 So that was at the World Trade Center in Rotterdam and 11 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,000 If you've ever been to Rotterdam, it is such a beautiful city, a city that was completely 12 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,000 utterly destroyed and flattened in the Second World War. 13 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,000 There was just nothing left over and they rebuilt the entire city and they actually called it 14 00:01:52,500 --> 00:01:54,500 And they call it Manhattan on the mass. 15 00:01:54,500 --> 00:01:55,500 So Manhattan of the mass. 16 00:01:55,500 --> 00:02:00,500 And it does look very much like, a bit like Manhattan with the big beautiful buildings 17 00:02:00,500 --> 00:02:03,500 and any of the harbor in the distance. 18 00:02:03,500 --> 00:02:03,500 They've got the Europe. 19 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:13,000 and seeing that, because I don't get to Rotterdam very often. 20 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,000 So it was a speaking engagement for, 21 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:21,000 this was for insurance agents of Stuttel-Tedon-Persakeningen, 22 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,000 so that's the name of the insurance company, 23 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,000 and it's about 400 people there, 24 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,000 and they split off into individual parallel sessions 25 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,000 around 230, and that's where I did a session. 26 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:45,000 there and do your thing and talk and I rarely use a projector or slides although I try to 27 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:50,000 put some multimedia stuff into it. If I use a slide on the screen it'll be like a home 28 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:50,000 movie or 29 00:02:52,500 --> 00:02:57,500 to accentuate a point. It's never text. I can't stand it when you've got someone speaking 30 00:02:57,500 --> 00:03:03,500 to you and then you're being distracted by text. And of course, this is quite the opposite 31 00:03:03,500 --> 00:03:11,500 from what BloggerCon will be, which is November 6th in Palo Alto. This is the third BloggerCon 32 00:03:11,500 --> 00:03:18,500 and you can hear more about that on Trade Secrets, which is the brand new show on the podcasting 33 00:03:18,500 --> 00:03:23,500 platform that I do with Dave Weiner, Dave from Scripting News, Scripting.com. 34 00:03:25,500 --> 00:03:34,500 And we did another show today. We had agreed to do one at 8am his time and somehow, and it's 35 00:03:34,500 --> 00:03:41,500 probably my fault. You just get so confused after a while with time zones and getting up early and 36 00:03:41,500 --> 00:03:46,500 then my whole rhythm is still out of whack from getting up at 3.30 every single morning for a year. 37 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:54,000 Somehow I'd messed it up and David had been waiting for me to dial into him 24 hours ago. 38 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:59,000 Luckily he didn't wait for the full 24 hours, he did find something else to do. 39 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,000 So we finally hooked up and we recorded a show today. 40 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,000 I was much happier with the quality of the sound. 41 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,000 Now in fact, even Dave sounds a little bit too loud. 42 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:13,000 I'd listen back to the show, I'd check that out after we recorded it. 43 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,000 And his levels may be a little bit too hot compared to mine now. 44 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:20,000 But it worked pretty well and I was able to route audio back to him. 45 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:25,000 Although I think I mis-routed something and sent something back so hard through an audio loop 46 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:32,000 that it probably made the song of the day on Trade Secrets sound like it was tripled or quadrupled. 47 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:37,000 Oh well, luckily it was a remix of Sting's Russians anyway. 48 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:41,000 So no real harm done probably. 49 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:46,000 Oh boy, I'm just totally wrecked. I'm so tired from doing all that 50 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,000 because I didn't get back until QoRt-ed. 51 00:04:49,500 --> 00:04:54,500 6 and I you know so that was 9 a.m Seattle time so I quickly through the laptop to get 52 00:04:54,500 --> 00:04:57,500 I got everything ready and set it all up. 53 00:04:57,500 --> 00:04:59,500 Oh what am I getting here a warning? 54 00:04:59,500 --> 00:05:00,500 Oh no. 55 00:05:00,500 --> 00:05:01,500 Oh this is nice. 56 00:05:01,500 --> 00:05:03,500 Folder actions alert. 57 00:05:03,500 --> 00:05:06,500 One new item has been placed in folder iPodrx download. 58 00:05:06,500 --> 00:05:08,500 Would you like to view the added items? 59 00:05:08,500 --> 00:05:08,500 No not now. 60 00:05:10,500 --> 00:05:12,500 Oh boy, there's more items coming in. 61 00:05:12,500 --> 00:05:16,500 That is the iPod or X running in the background. 62 00:05:16,500 --> 00:05:18,500 Running happily, I have to say. 63 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,000 That's good news. 64 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,000 So we had to get the call set up. 65 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:31,000 Now remember we're doing this voiceover IP, which means that I'm doing it on iChat, which 66 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,000 is Apple's instant message client. 67 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,000 And it's the iChat AV so you can do audio and video. 68 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,000 And Dave's using AOL, he's using AIM, he's using the Windows client. 69 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:45,000 And you know that was all right because certainly if you compare it to the first show we 70 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:53,000 did where we literally had to stop and retape sometimes just minutes worth but 71 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,000 at one point almost half an hour's worth of it. 72 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:03,000 it kills your energy. So the energy was much better now. We didn't have to really do anything. 73 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:08,000 His sound was clipping once in a while, but all things considered, I think it's pretty 74 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:14,000 damn good and you can't beat the price. Now, let's be honest, you just can't beat that. 75 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,000 So it's a long show. It's about an hour and 20 minutes and you can see that you can 76 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:22,000 listen to it. It's secrets.scripting.com. It's trade secrets and maybe in the next 77 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:27,000 week show, we'll explain to you what that title really means and where it came from. 78 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:36,000 I was thinking maybe we'd just take a, since it's such a, you know, it's so late and I 79 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:40,000 haven't done a source code. I don't think I've done a source code at this hour. 80 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:47,000 We'll just take a quick step outside. Hold on a second. We go. Just to get a little vibe. 81 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:55,000 Hold on a second. It is raining. Let me just get the umbrella. Just take a quick evening stroll. 82 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,000 around the back courtyard. 83 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,000 Now actually it's harvest time. 84 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:06,000 Oh, there's a little froggy. 85 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:07,000 Hello frog. 86 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,000 I almost stepped on him. 87 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:10,000 It's harvest time. 88 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,000 And particularly now that all the rains are coming, 89 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:17,000 the farmers that have the lands all surrounding our grounds 90 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:18,000 are harvesting. 91 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,000 And they do this almost 24 hours a day non-stop. 92 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,000 It's really time is money kind of deal. 93 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,000 And I heard him, up until about half an hour ago, 94 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,000 I heard him buzz and buy with the tractor 95 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:30,000 so we may hear him. 96 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,000 Now I'm about, let's see, 97 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:40,000 I say I'm about 50 yards from the receiving end of this. 98 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,000 So I presume that that's still working. 99 00:07:46,500 --> 00:07:48,500 Sorry, I'm taking a sip of my drink there. 100 00:07:48,500 --> 00:07:53,500 I got a humongous flame of comment on DailySourceCode.com. 101 00:07:53,500 --> 00:07:55,500 Someone was unsubscribing from my feed. 102 00:07:55,500 --> 00:08:01,500 He couldn't stand listening to me slurping on my drink as I did these shows. 103 00:08:01,500 --> 00:08:02,500 Unsubscribed forever, he said. 104 00:08:02,500 --> 00:08:04,500 Well, that's your right. 105 00:08:04,500 --> 00:08:05,500 That's what it's all about. 106 00:08:05,500 --> 00:08:07,500 You know, it's not like a mailing list where you can't get off. 107 00:08:07,500 --> 00:08:09,500 You know, that's what RSS does so beautifully. 108 00:08:09,500 --> 00:08:10,500 If you're sick and tired. 109 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:19,000 arrangement you just unsubscribe okay nothing going on much tonight oh I also 110 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:27,000 got a note from Pete Prodell oh god I hope I pronounce it

raster web audio you know the guy who who I 113 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,000 mentioned yesterday when I was talking we were talking about short content and 114 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:45,000 comedy bits check out his latest offering this is raster web audio for 115 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:51,000 September 22nd 2004 slightly after mid-autopathy could be the weather in 116 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:57,000 Montclair New Jersey the current conditions for Montclair New Jersey it's 117 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:03,000 currently fair with a temperature of 58 degrees the dew point is 56 humidity is

00:09:13,500 --> 00:09:15,500 I would subscribe to a feed that does that. 121 00:09:15,500 --> 00:09:17,500 I absolutely would. 122 00:09:17,500 --> 00:09:20,500 We've actually been discussing him doing some other kind of feed, 123 00:09:20,500 --> 00:09:23,500 like maybe a joke of the day, which is great. 124 00:09:23,500 --> 00:09:26,500 And I will promote it and I'll certainly play his joke of the day a couple times. 125 00:09:26,500 --> 00:09:29,500 But then the whole point is you subscribe to it, you know, 126 00:09:29,500 --> 00:09:33,500 and then in the morning as you're listening to the latest shows 127 00:09:33,500 --> 00:09:36,500 that came down the pike or whenever you have a chance to listen to it 128 00:09:36,500 --> 00:09:39,500 on your walk or while you're jogging or you're down time, you're uptown, 129 00:09:39,500 --> 00:09:41,500 you're in your sleep time, whatever, 130 00:09:41,500 --> 00:09:43,500 and you'll just automatically hit it. 131 00:09:43,500 --> 00:09:45,500 And it'll be in between shows, you know, 132 00:09:45,500 --> 00:09:49,500 maybe morning coffee notes or trade secrets or evil genius chronicles 133 00:09:49,500 --> 00:09:51,500 and then a joke of the day and then a source code 134 00:09:51,500 --> 00:09:55,500 and that way you really start to tivoize your experience. 135 00:09:55,500 --> 00:09:59,500 Oh man, this iPod or X is just going nuts. 136 00:09:59,500 --> 00:10:01,500 It's giving me all kinds of content. 137 00:10:01,500 --> 00:10:03,500 I subscribed to the... 138 00:10:03,500 --> 00:10:05,500 Oh, that was so beautiful. 139 00:10:05,500 --> 00:10:07,500 We got a couple of feeds from Feedster, 140 00:10:07,500 --> 00:10:09,500 Scott Johnson had set that up for us, 141 00:10:09,500 --> 00:10:12,500 even set up a whole webpage saying, you know, here's my gift to you. 142 00:10:19,500 --> 00:10:21,500 And I just said, well, give me some picture enclosures. 143 00:10:21,500 --> 00:10:26,500 I want to see how many come in, which apparently is quite a lot. 144 00:10:26,500 --> 00:10:29,500 And I did see noise, or not noise, I saw signal to noise 145 00:10:29,500 --> 00:10:32,500 on the iPod or developer list that were, you know, 146 00:10:32,500 --> 00:10:36,500 there's talk of putting in either a, you know, 147 00:10:36,500 --> 00:10:41,500 do not download more than X items or, yeah, 148 00:10:41,500 --> 00:10:43,500 or enclosures for each feed, 149 00:10:43,500 --> 00:10:44,500 especially when you subscribe to a new one 150 00:10:44,500 --> 00:10:48,500 because that can really screw up your machine, 151 00:10:48,500 --> 00:10:50,500 your processing, your power. 152 00:10:50,500 --> 00:10:52,500 And for any newbie who's just installing it, 153 00:10:52,500 --> 00:10:54,500 it's kind of daunting, you know, like you. 154 00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,000 The fan is worrying, I've got files popping up all over the place. 155 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,000 It can be kind of scary. 156 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:07,000 Let me see, I'm just fried. 157 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,000 I apologize, normally I've got my energy up. 158 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:10,000 You know what, maybe this will help. 159 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,000 Let's play a song of the day. 160 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,000 This is something that... 161 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:19,000 It's not safe or worse put it that way, but it's it's music to walk in 162 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:29,000 The dark clouded sky, silt with rain, with turdward dew. 163 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:34,000 Everybody's fucking but me. 164 00:11:34,000 -->

Isn't it beautiful though? 172 00:15:01,500 --> 00:15:02,500 Got a whole album. 173 00:15:02,500 --> 00:15:03,500 If you'd like it, let me know. 174 00:15:03,500 --> 00:15:05,500 I'll certainly play more. 175 00:15:05,500 --> 00:15:08,500 I wanted to wrap up today's source code too 176 00:15:08,500 --> 00:15:11,500 with a little bit of feedback for the Audio Hijack Pro guys 177 00:15:11,500 --> 00:15:13,500 from Amoeba Software. 178 00:15:13,500 --> 00:15:16,500 And I know that some of them listen to the source code 179 00:15:16,500 --> 00:15:18,500 and actually got an email saying, 180 00:15:18,500 --> 00:15:22,500 you know, we also, we're trying to build this application 181 00:15:22,500 --> 00:15:23,500 into something that works for audio blogging 182 00:15:23,500 --> 00:15:26,500 and give us some feedback. 183 00:15:26,500 --> 00:15:27,500 And I'll tell you, I love this application. 184 00:15:27,500 --> 00:15:28,500 I love this program. 185 00:15:28,500 --> 00:15:32,500 It works extremely well for what I'm trying to make it do. 186 00:15:32,500 --> 00:15:34,500 If it were possible to improve anything, 187 00:15:34,500 --> 00:15:36,500 what would make it the most ultimate, 188 00:15:36,500 --> 00:15:39,500 fabulous, fantastic tool? 189 00:15:40,500 --> 00:15:43,500 Would be, you know how on the effects pane, 190 00:15:43,500 --> 00:15:46,500 so basically for, you know, you can hijack the audio 191 00:15:46,500 --> 00:15:47,500 from any application. 192 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:57,000 the effects page, what I'd love, you know, because you can set in all kinds of effects 193 00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:01,000 and filters and you can route audio through from one filter to another. Wouldn't it be 194 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:08,000 beautiful if I could either A, route the audio from the effects pane to another recording, 195 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:14,000 right? Or if I could select several applications that I want to record at the same time and 196 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:18,000 then have them all record into one file, because currently I can record four out of 197 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,000 four or five, you know, as many applications theoretically as I want at the 198 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:28,000 same time, except I can only record them to separate files. So if there's any way to 199 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,000 integrate, primarily the microphone, that's the most important part is being 200 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:37,000 able to mix in the microphone with the general signal coming off of off of the 201 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:42,000 the main, the core audio driver. Just being able to do that would be absolutely 202 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,000 phenomenal. I don't even know if it's possible. I've been getting a lot of 203 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:51,000 emails that in the next version of the Mac OS, what is that, Tiger or whatever. 204 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,000 Yeah, it's Tiger. 205 00:16:52,500 --> 00:16:58,500 that there will be a lot more, there will be many improvements to the core audio drivers and 206 00:16:58,500 --> 00:17:04,500 ways to mix the signals and all kinds of APIs and stuff that developers can get into. 207 00:17:04,500 --> 00:17:10,500 So hopefully, Dave and I also talked a bit about this on trade secrets and the Apple guys, 208 00:17:10,500 --> 00:17:14,500 I love them man, they're always right there when I need something. 209 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:22,000 you can. They're just not quite thinking about this yet, but hopefully they'll catch this 210 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:27,000 on the source code and if anyone wants to give me a call and pick my brain about it, 211 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:32,000 I'll be happy to let you know because if we can get this to work reliably, then it's great. 212 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:39,000 Then anyone can have a full blown audio or radio production studio on your desktop. No need for 213 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,000 breakout boxes and external devices or 214 00:17:46,500 --> 00:17:52,500 Maybe not all the hardware we need to make it work perfectly, but something more should 215 00:17:52,500 --> 00:17:55,500 be possible than the results I'm achieving right now. 216 00:17:55,500 --> 00:18:00,500 Okay, oh, I almost forgot to tell you the really good news. 217 00:18:00,500 --> 00:18:01,500 Patricia called. 218 00:18:01,500 --> 00:18:05,500 She and her sister have been in London or England for the past couple of days. 219 00:18:05,500 --> 00:18:06,500 And we have a house. 220 00:18:06,500 --> 00:18:08,500 She found a house. 221 00:18:08,500 --> 00:18:09,500 She cut a deal. 222 00:18:09,500 --> 00:18:11,500 Or at least I think she made an offer. 223 00:18:11,500 --> 00:18:14,500 And I think that'll be accepted. 224 00:18:14,500 --> 00:18:18,500 Which means we'll be moving somewhere I guess before Christmas. 225 00:18:18,500 --> 00:18:20,500 So I'm very pumped about that. 226 00:18:20,500 --> 00:18:24,500 And I've actually only really seen a picture of the house on the internet. 227 00:18:24,500 --> 00:18:26,500 And Patricia took the video camera. 228 00:18:26,500 --> 00:18:29,500 So by tomorrow afternoon, I'll have seen it. 229 00:18:29,500 --> 00:18:32,500 And maybe I'll be able to let you know a little bit more about the new digs. 230 00:18:32,500 --> 00:18:37,500 Okay, I'd say that's about all I can muster up today. 231 00:18:37,500 --> 00:18:40,500 Still have to get this up to the server. 232 00:18:40,500 --> 00:18:43,500 And since I'm still Mr. Mom, I've got to close down. 233 00:18:43,500 --> 00:18:47,500 Also got to clean up some of the kitchen, get the dishwasher going, make sure all the animals 234 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,000 The animals are secure, the house is secure, you know, make sure Jim Bob, Mario and Sue 235 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,000 Elnor all in bed. 236 00:18:58,500 --> 00:19:05,500 And that's it for Shows Code for today. 237 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:31,000 It's dailysourcecon.com.rss.xml. 238 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,000 I'll see you tomorrow for another video.
