So I'm gonna play it for her. Of course she was also my 44 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,000 first employee at OnRamp back in the... 45 00:03:25,500 --> 00:03:28,500 to New York City. 46 00:03:28,750 --> 00:09:23,750 [ Music ] 47 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,000 Oh shit, that's what you get for MP3s. 48 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,000 Miss the very ending of it. 49 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:32,000 Gold nearing radar love on the source code, 50 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,000 going out by request to Skipper in New York City. 51 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,000 And I made a very important discovery yesterday. 52 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,000 I found something, a feature, a hidden feature, 53 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,000 it probably wasn't intentionally hidden, 54 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:47,000 but it was hard to find, in Audio Hijack Pro. 55 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:51,000 I discovered that if you go to the effects portion 56 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,000 of the application, now this is a program 57 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,000 that you can record audio from any application 58 00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:00,000 running on your Macintosh. 59 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,000 The effects I thought was really cool 60 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,000 because you can basically plug in reverbs and echoes 61 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:08,000 and flangers and compressors and whatever you can think of. 62 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,000 You can really process the sound coming from the application 63 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,000 just perfectly, which is all right. 64 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:14,000 But what you want to do is, I've 65 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,000 played about this many, many times, 66 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,000 I want to be able to mix in a microphone signal. 67 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,000 Well, darn wouldn't you know it. 68 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:25,000 Right there under effects is a VST plug-in. 69 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,000 Now I'm not sure if it comes with Audio Hijack Pro or 70 00:10:28,500 --> 00:10:31,500 it picked it up for my hard drive somewhere. I've certainly never purchased any 71 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:40,000 my knowledge. So it's probably a free plugin and it actually says voiceover. Duh! And it 72 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:46,000 gives you a nice little effects panel. You can select the audio device. So I've selected 73 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:50,000 built-in audio, selected line-in. That's what my mic's connected to. It does little 74 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:55,000 crossfade for you. It has an auto ducking threshold if you don't want to click on and 75 00:10:55,000 --> 00:11:00,000 off switch, which I do like to do because otherwise any cough or sudden noise will 76 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:05,000 interrupt the record and actually lower the volume of the record. And you can 77 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:10,000 actually set that up so it's mixed in with the signal mixed in as its own source. 78 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:15,000 So now I have a very stable environment. Well knock on wood and you know there's 79 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:21,000 my invitation to Murphy. It appears very stable and I can now get the audio from 80 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:25,000 any application I want. In fact I have a couple other bits queued up for later in 81 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:31,000 the show which are going to come from QuickTime. I can also perfectly bring in 82 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:36,000 iChat. I think I've 83 00:11:34,500 --> 00:11:35,500 got it all running. 84 00:11:35,500 --> 00:11:37,500 I'm just going to try this setup for a week or so. 85 00:11:37,500 --> 00:11:42,500 I can't wait to do another trade secret with Dave because that's always the real test. 86 00:11:42,500 --> 00:11:46,500 As it is right now, if someone were to instant message me, I could bring you into the show 87 00:11:46,500 --> 00:11:47,500 immediately. 88 00:11:47,500 --> 00:11:48,500 I could put you on the air. 89 00:11:48,500 --> 00:11:55,500 Let me just see if I'm actually online at all at this moment. 90 00:11:55,500 --> 00:11:58,500 Very dangerous switching applications where I'm doing this stuff. 91 00:11:58,500 --> 00:12:02,500 Yeah, I'm online. 92 00:12:02,500 --> 00:12:06,500 People who have me in their buddy list, you know that if I'm online and I'll actually 93 00:12:06,500 --> 00:12:15,500 put something in my status bar there, let's see, I'll put in a custom thing there. 94 00:12:15,500 --> 00:12:19,500 Oh, actually, no, I have a custom thing. 95 00:12:19,500 --> 00:12:20,500 Have it on the air. 96 00:12:20,500 --> 00:12:21,500 There we go. 97 00:12:21,500 --> 00:12:22,500 On the air. 98 00:12:22,500 --> 00:12:28,500 If I'm on the air and you have something to say, go ahead, just give me an eye chat. 99 00:12:28,500 --> 00:12:29,500 Just check and see. 100 00:12:29,500 --> 00:12:32,500 The settings are all, oops, settings are all. 101 00:12:32,500 --> 00:12:34,500 Okay, there we go. 102 00:12:34,500 --> 00:12:34,500 That's better. 103 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,000 Perfect. 104 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:41,000 I can close that up. 105 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:42,000 Right, we're all set. 106 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,000 So should anyone call in?

You drop it in your applications folder, you double click it, it opens, it runs. 213 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:29,000 It immediately shows you your feeds, you can add there, you can delete from there, you can check there, 214 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:33,000 you can stop the check if you want to, you can make it run automatically, you can put a little slider, 215 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:40,000 control when it's going to run. And these guys understand now what users are looking for. 216 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,000 When you say that it runs automatically, it tells you right there. 217 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:47,000 When you run this automatically, even when you quit the application, it's still going to continue to run 218 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:51,000 and fill up your iPod. Turning it off will obviously turn it off. 219 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:58,000 And they also understand the marketing. If you look at iPodR.sourceforge.net, 220 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,000 that's what you say, wait a minute, am I saying that correctly? 221 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,000 I'm afraid to surf.

He said, you know, I really love listening to all these 350 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:16,000 podcasts, but when are people going to stop talking about the podcasting themselves and 351 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:21,000 actually do some podcasting? And this isn't working too well with my quick time window. 352 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:28,000 It's definitely not liking this. Okay, let me just turn that off. Again, a little low 353 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:36,000 on processing speed here. So I totally agree. Andrew, you know, the days of 354 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:40,000 testing, testing one, two, three, four, you know, that's almost over. We're getting our 355 00:25:43,500 --> 00:25:46,500 At least 600, 700 people subscribed to the daily source code. 356 00:25:46,500 --> 00:25:47,500 That's a lot of people. 357 00:25:47,500 --> 00:25:50,500 Put them all in one room and you'll see. 358 00:25:50,500 --> 00:25:54,500 And he also has a feature request for the iPod, which I asked him to send off to the iPod 359 00:25:54,500 --> 00:25:55,500 development list. 360 00:25:55,500 --> 00:25:56,500 And I don't know if Andrew is... 361 00:25:56,500 --> 00:25:57,500 Let me see. 362 00:25:57,500 --> 00:25:59,500 He's in the Astrophysics Group. 363 00:25:59,500 --> 00:26:08,500 Are you a user or developer in the Astrophysics Group at Imperial College? 364 00:26:08,500 --> 00:26:11,500 His request is for some file management. 365 00:26:11,500 --> 00:26:12,500 I knew that was going to come. 366 00:26:12,500 --> 00:26:16,500 And I think that's something that can be done in the ongoing development of iPodr, 367 00:26:16,500 --> 00:26:21,500 is how your cache is cleaned up, when files are deleted, et cetera. 368 00:26:21,500 --> 00:26:22,500 It's a pretty normal stuff. 369 00:26:22,500 --> 00:26:25,500 And I think that's a great user request. 370 00:26:25,500 --> 00:26:27,500 Let's see. 371 00:26:27,500 --> 00:26:29,500 Oh, Dave and I were talking on the... 372 00:26:29,500 --> 00:26:35,500 On Trade Secrets about Netflix, about the RSS feeds for your queue on Netflix, 373 00:26:35,500 --> 00:26:37,500 and how he wants to aggregate those together. 374 00:26:37,500 --> 00:26:39,500 If you haven't heard his explanation of what he wants to do, 375 00:26:39,500 --> 00:26:44,500 I suggest you listen to Trade Secrets volume number... 376 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:54,000 So, Miles Weisslater from meetup.com sent me a link and said that the UK version of Netflix 377 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:57,000 is videoisland.com. 378 00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:00,000 So even though it's not available in Belgium and not in the Netherlands when I get to 379 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:04,000 the UK, I can also get a Netflix-like subscription. 380 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:10,000 I don't know if they have RSS feeds though, hopefully by the time I get there. 381 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:18,000 And Pete Pradol, Raster Web Audio, sent me a little note, a blurb about ESPN. 382 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:22,000 I guess this is taken from their homepage. 383 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,000 I'm just going to read this quote. 384 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,000 With our last redesign in 2003, ESPN.com 385 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:35,000 motion. By downloading high quality video transparently to users hard drives we were able to give our 386 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:41,000 viewers free of charge some of the highest quality video on the web with no waiting no buffering 387 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:47,000 and no noticeable encoding artifacts. The simple installation of the little ESPN ActiveX control 388 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:52,000 users could watch freshly cut ESPN video right within our front page. So sounds like these 389 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:57,000 guys have the right idea you know the thought of bringing in video or bringing in any type of 390 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:04,000 content using that word overnight when you're basically on downtime you know and it doesn't 391 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:09,000 have to be overnight with today's bandwidth speed you've got a real fast pipe you can set it for a 392 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:17,000 couple times a day just like iPodder but you know I doubt that they're using RSS and that's really 393 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:22,000 a shame you know think about the audience they could have how they could increase their audience 394 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:27,000 just you know with with one day's worth of development and a little bit of thought and 395 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:31,000 just the right blink here and there I mean people would go 396 00:28:31,500 --> 00:28:36,500 freaking nuts. And they'd pay for that, I'm sure they would. The infrastructure is already 397 00:28:36,500 --> 00:28:40,500 there. There are so many news readers out there that already support enclosures and people 398 00:28:40,500 --> 00:28:45,500 are working on more every single day. It's a shame. It's absolutely a shame. 399 00:28:45,500 --> 00:28:53,500 And I wanted to talk about Mars Edit. This is a brand new application for Mac OS X and 400 00:28:53,500 --> 00:29:00,500 it's a blogging app. And it can, it basically is a front end for different blogging systems. 401 00:29:00,500 --> 00:29:04,500 And it supports a whole slew of them. You know, every single one that I know and 402 00:29:04,500 --> 00:29:08,500 actually, and then some, including Radio User Land, which is what I use. And so 403 00:29:08,500 --> 00:29:13,500 basically it knows the API of the weblog system you use. And it also works for 404 00:29:13,500 --> 00:29:18,500 Manila sites and for movable type and for blogger. It's beautiful. But it has so 405 00:29:18,500 --> 00:29:22,500 much built in. It is so well thought out. And I think that's probably very much 406 00:29:22,500 --> 00:29:29,500 because it's a, it comes from a Mac, a Mac developers thinking. It's so user 407 00:29:29,500 --> 00:29:32,500 friendly and I've started using it now and it's still, it's in beta. 408 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:41,000 now. But it's just kick-ass. It really does the job well. It does it fast. It's real simple 409 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:46,000 because I do a lot of, I have to go back and edit a lot of my posts mainly for spelling 410 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:52,000 errors that I don't, I check posts, the posts. I don't know why, but I do and people will 411 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:58,000 point out huge glaring errors. And also it's easier than going to my web log and looking 412 00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:02,000 down the page. I can just look at the last 50 postings that I did and pull out information 413 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:08,000 that I might want to talk about. It's very whizzy-wig although you basically, the way I 414 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:12,000 use it is you know I write up the post and then I'll add the links and it does 415 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:17,000 show those to you in HTML code, but at the same time you can have a preview window 416 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:20,000 open and it types along with you so you can see whizzy-wig exactly what it's 417 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:25,000 going to look like. So that's, that's pretty good. And it also, and the 418 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:29,000 whizzy-wig is really a browser so if you add a picture which it also has a 419 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:34,000 little special window pane for to help you upload pictures to your server, it's 420 00:30:34,500 --> 00:30:37,500 It's fantastic. It's really what I've been looking for. 421 00:30:37,500 --> 00:30:40,500 I've been using an outliner to do my posts. 422 00:30:40,500 --> 00:30:45,500 I really like using an outliner for writing, but for the 423 00:30:45,500 --> 00:30:49,500 length of the post that I make, you know, if I really have to write something 424 00:30:49,500 --> 00:30:54,500 that's going to be a couple paragraphs or that, you know, lots of thought needs to go into, 425 00:30:54,500 --> 00:30:58,500 then I'll write in an outliner first and then I'll just copy-paste it into 426 00:30:58,500 --> 00:31:02,500 into Mars Edit. And don't even have to do that because Mars Edit 427 00:31:02,500 --> 00:31:06,500 is fully scriptable. So I could pass it off from an outline window 428 00:31:06,500 --> 00:31:10,500 from Radio Userland right into that, into the 429 00:31:10,500 --> 00:31:17,500 into the Mars Edit, you know, the new posting creation window. 430 00:31:17,500 --> 00:31:22,500 I was going to say something else about it. Oh, yeah, it has built in Apple 431 00:31:22,500 --> 00:31:25,500 Scripts. One that I've been, I just started using, which oh man, 432 00:31:25,500 --> 00:31:30,500 it's like diarrhea of the blog. It's a post from Safari. So basically you just 433 00:31:30,500 --> 00:31:34,500 copy a little bit of text on a web page in Safari. You run the script from the 434 00:31:34,500 --> 00:31:37,500 from the Mars Edit menu. 435 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:40,000 and it posts in a post for you, which is also configurable. 436 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:44,000 It'll take the title of the page, you know, what's in the menu bar. 437 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:48,000 It'll do a colon and then a quotation mark. 438 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:52,000 So it's really, it's removing four steps that I used to do manually in the Outliner. 439 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:56,000 I should look at the script actually, but it's really cool. 440 00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:01,000 You can set the parameters, how you want the default post to show up when you post from Safari. 441 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:05,000 So just totally tits as we say in New Jersey. 442 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:08,000 And only one request, of course, is enclosure support. 443 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:12,000 You know, and I would fully expect to be able to just drag and drop something on there, 444 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:15,000 but I'll take a URL that'll be great for me. 445 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,000 And you know, once that's in there, it's, wow, it's great. 446 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,000 I can't wait until the final candidate is released. 447 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:24,000 I'm a customer for sure. 448 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:27,000 Okay, what are we doing here? 449 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:30,000 32 minutes. Time to wrap up. 450 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:34,000 Ooh, did I get rid of that I had? 451 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:38,000 Oh shoot, I was going to play like pull it up from iTunes for you now. 452 00:32:37,500 --> 00:32:42,500 It's gonna play another song that I found on the blog digger media feed. 453 00:32:42,500 --> 00:32:48,500 I'm gonna play that as the fight.
