00:00:20,000 Oh, man, it's Monday, November 29, 2004. 8 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,000 We're in studio. 9 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:27,000 Well, not actually not the it's studio A, I'm in studio A8. 10 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:31,000 Which means I'm in the Audi. 11 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,000 The Audi A8 is the new studio. 12 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,000 It's the place to be. 13 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,000 It had a nice weekend. 14 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,000 Went off to the Netherlands to do a little bit of business. 15 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:45,000 Had some friends putting together a television pilot, 16 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,000 which I instigated called Adams of Eagle Eye, 17 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,000 based around two friends of mine. 18 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,000 Both presenters, one legendary news guy, 19 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:59,000 who's about 55 years old and is definitely seeing a revival 20 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,000 that is career and man, it was a lot of fun. 21 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,000 I'm really even more fun was just figuring out 22 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:14,000 and actually experiencing how close the UK really is 23 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,000 and how easy it is to get more pretty much anywhere. 24 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,000 I left Saturday morning to the car picking up at 8 o'clock. 25 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,000 Had me at Heathrow at a quarter to nine, 26 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,000 I was on board the plane at 9.30. 27 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,000 And I was an Amsterdam, I see a quarter to an hour. 28 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:36,000 I was already in the Amsterdam bunker before noon, 29 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,000 I think, or just a little bit past noon. 30 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,000 So, not bad all things are considered. 31 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, power up here and nothing. 32 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,000 All that stuff, okay. 33 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,000 So, let me see. 34 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,000 Yeah, the most important thing of the entire trip 35 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,000 for me personally besides, of course, 36 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,000 all the fun we had doing the TV show, 37 00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:01,000 which was a total, what do you call it? 38 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,000 I'm sorry, I'm sorry. 39 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,000 One weekend in Holland and all of a sudden 40 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,000 I lose all my English volunteer. 41 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,000 All of, we basically called up all our buddies 42 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,000 and said, look, we need a couple camera people, 43 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,000 we need some producers, some sound people, 44 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,000 everyone chipped in and we created, 45 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,000 even studio was donated time. 46 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,000 Of course, if we actually sell this pilot 47 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,000 and we get it on the air, then of course, 48 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,000 everyone will be waiting there where they're hand out 49 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,000 because then they'll get paid and they'll be working 50 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,000 on the show, which is the way this is supposed to work. 51 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,000 So, it was a lot of fun. 52 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,000 And I'd book to hotel through, 53 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,000 I actually just did a Google search before I left 54 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,000 and said, I want to Wi-Fi, 55 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,000 enabled hotel in Hilversum. 56 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,000 And I know of some really good hotels in Hilversum, 57 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,000 which is kind of the Hollywood of the Netherlands. 58 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,000 So, you know, reason to go to hotels, 59 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,000 but none of them had anything that resembled Wi-Fi 60 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,000 or actually even broadband. 61 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,000 They were still talking about telephone with data ports. 62 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,000 So, didn't, didn't book there, 63 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,000 found a hotel called Revell, 64 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,000 excuse me, which I posted about on my weblog. 65 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,000 And walked in there around a 10pm, 66 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,000 of course, it was a late check-in. 67 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,000 And I think it might've been the owner 68 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,000 if not definitely a manager who said, 69 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,000 oh, you know, Adam, welcome. 70 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,000 I already heard on your podcast, 71 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:17,000 you're coming. 72 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:18,000 I just need your MAC address, 73 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:22,000 which is, you know, the Ethernet address 74 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:23,000 for my airport card, 75 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,000 which is unique to any Ethernet device. 76 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,000 Otherwise, I could've used the USB wireless card 77 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:34,000 from them or wireless the adapter, I guess. 78 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,000 So, I just get my MAC address and boom, you know, 79 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,000 free Wi-Fi, and it was cranking. 80 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:43,000 I downloaded hundreds of megabytes of podcasts 81 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,000 while I was awake, and while I was sleeping. 82 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,000 So, well worth the price of admission. 83 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,000 The room was good. 84 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,000 Yeah, the remote control wasn't quite bolted on to the nightstand. 85 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,000 So, in my book, 86 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,000 if you got a remote that's not bolted on, 87 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,000 you're in a hotel that's good enough, you know, 88 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,000 you got cold running water. 89 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,000 And you got your Wi-Fi, which is really reliable, 90 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,000 then it's all a good thing. 91 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:09,000 And the return journey was just as beautiful, 92 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,000 you know, got on the plane, 93 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,000 got to the airport a little bit early, had some dinner, 94 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,000 hopped on the plane, it left to the right on time. 95 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,000 It's 7, you arrive at 7, then of course, 96 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:18,000 because it's, you know, about, 97 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,000 actually you're at the gate getting off at 7, 98 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,000 because the flight itself is only about 36, 99 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,000 37 minutes. 100 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,000 Then guy waiting for me there, 101 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,000 hopped in the car, 102 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,000 and 30 minutes later I was home. 103 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,000 I was home before, 104 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,000 before was even 830. 105 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,000 So, perfect, absolutely perfect for the commute 106 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,000 back and forth to the Netherlands, 107 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,000 or any other part of the mainland for that reason. 108 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,000 So, the reason I'm coming to you from the A8 studio today 109 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,000 is because it's just so much going on, 110 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,000 and we just went to Christina's new school. 111 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,000 Actually, it's a school that we want to get her into, 112 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,000 so we had to, you know, kind of show up and say, 113 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,000 hey, you know, can we get this kid in? 114 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,000 Admissions are a tough thing here in the UK, 115 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,000 particularly in public schools, 116 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,000 because, you know, full is full, 117 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,000 and if they have no room, 118 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,000 then they just can't admit your child. 119 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,000 So, seem like they were going to have a space for her. 120 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,000 In fact, I think I heard the headmaster say, 121 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,000 well, you know, once we do the admissions 122 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,000 a little talk there, 123 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,000 and you feel like the paperwork, 124 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,000 and now it's just needs really is uniform, 125 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,000 and she's good to go. 126 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,000 It's an old request. 127 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,000 I didn't want to play that, our shoot. 128 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,000 I wanted to play, 129 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,000 oh, man, I totally blew that. 130 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,000 That's not what I want. 131 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,000 Here's what I wanted to play for. 132 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,000 Silence, silence! 133 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:34,000 I'm not that fit, but I'm afraid we'll go.org. 134 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,000 And you're listening to Adam Curry's Daily Source. 135 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,000 Bloody hell, not even. 136 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,000 Sheep, half of the equipment. 137 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,000 There we go. 138 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:44,000 There you go. 139 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,000 There you feel my head that's just learned some public end up. 140 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,000 Adam Curry's Daily Source code. 141 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,000 You're not ready. 142 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,000 I love when people send me promos, 143 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,000 and I love using them, 144 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,000 please continue to do that. 145 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,000 I go much, Todd. 146 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,000 So the reason I'm in the A.A. 147 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,000 is after, you know, we had to do the school thing, 148 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,000 and that seems all cool. 149 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,000 She's going to get in there. 150 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,000 That was really much easier than I expected. 151 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,000 We even dressed up. 152 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:22,000 And we made Christina dressed up to look a little bit representative, 153 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,000 and, you know, not her total gothic look. 154 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,000 That was a struggle this morning. 155 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,000 And so then I had to take the girls off to Sainsbury's, 156 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,000 which is the big shopping, 157 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,000 you know, the big grocery store, 158 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,000 mega grocery store. 159 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,000 And at three o'clock, 160 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,000 the ladies have appointments, 161 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,000 oops, that's my recorder. 162 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,000 The ladies have appointments for their nails, 163 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,000 and hair, and God knows what else. 164 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,000 And right now it's two o'clock. 165 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,000 So I figured, 166 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,000 what I do is I just bring my kit with me. 167 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,000 I've got my 12 volt DC to AC power converter. 168 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,000 I got all my stuff with me. 169 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:01,000 I just, you know, 170 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,000 slide the chair back a little bit. 171 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,000 Keep the heater on. 172 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,000 You can probably hear kind of humming in the background. 173 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,000 And I got my wireless love, 174 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,000 my hanging from the o' Jesus strap, 175 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:12,000 which is, you know, 176 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,000 the thing you hold onto when you go on a sharp corner 177 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,000 and say what Jesus. 178 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:17,000 And so there it is. 179 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,000 It's just kind of dangling in front of me. 180 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,000 And it's actually, 181 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,000 I've mentioned this before. 182 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,000 The car is a great place. 183 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,000 If you're looking for a studio, 184 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,000 cars are a perfect place. 185 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,000 You know, 186 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,000 to set up and get a nice quiet environment. 187 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:34,000 He let me turn off the, 188 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:35,000 turn off the, 189 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:36,000 turn off the, 190 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,000 the blower here. 191 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,000 There we go. 192 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,000 That's better. 193 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:41,000 Let's, you know, 194 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:42,000 why don't we just scan the, 195 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,000 the FM dial for a second.

through to the show's last three finalists, the 23 year old originally from Cardiff is the 234 00:09:24,560 --> 00:09:29,920 only woman left in the show, which ends next week and has a 200,000 pounds

238 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:09,760 in the UK, hello, this is top of the number of homo, some are still a dot net, music from 239 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:16,280 Germany, and you are listening to the daily source code with a podcast that he had a 240 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:21,960 curry, and have boiling, okay I wanted to make sure that you got Thomas's promo again 241 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:27,440 because last time I played something from some of the stellar dot net, I totally messed 242 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:33,860 up the URL, so now in the podcast production show notes, you can find the link to 243 00:10:33,860 --> 00:10:40,220 Thomas Della dot net, which is German music, it's very cool, it's a great podcast, and 244 00:10:40,220 --> 00:10:46,200 something that I think should definitely be added to the pod squad all in due time, more 245 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:50,340 about that in a second, first a little bit more about the UK, I want to thank you all so 246 00:10:50,340 --> 00:11:00,980 much for responding to my call to help about television systems, power plugs, and light 247 00:11:00,980 --> 00:11:09,360 sockets, let me see Dave Raven, first of all this is interesting, Dave Raven said it wasn't 248 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:13,980 until he heard Patricia talking about Iván on backing vocals, that's Patricia's sister 249 00:11:13,980 --> 00:11:19,820 that he connected, he said he interviewed Iván for BFBS code in Cologne, was BF British 250 00:11:19,820 --> 00:11:25,100 Forces broadcasting I guess, in the early 80s, so he says he had the world is very, very small, 251 00:11:25,100 --> 00:11:29,100 he says that your local TV shop will tweak your TVs to UK standard, that I didn't 252 00:11:29,100 --> 00:11:35,740 know, that's cool, also you can buy ES bulbs of all types, so you can keep your lamps, 253 00:11:35,740 --> 00:11:40,580 and apparently we just didn't go to the right, do it yourself hardware store, now check 254 00:11:40,580 --> 00:11:46,580 this out, he says why the funny plugs bulbs and TV, well here it comes, and this always 255 00:11:46,660 --> 00:11:54,740 emases me, and I keep noticing on television and in newspapers that a lot of things 256 00:11:54,740 --> 00:11:59,180 that you think might be American inventions or maybe the Germans think they invented it 257 00:11:59,180 --> 00:12:03,300 or the Japanese think they invented it, British have their own thoughts about who invented 258 00:12:03,300 --> 00:12:11,380 what, oh hold on that's the traffic report wailing through, here we go, low-key 259 00:12:11,380 --> 00:12:17,860 bird, L-O-G-I-E, so I guess it's low-G- or low-key bird, invented the television, his 260 00:12:17,860 --> 00:12:22,660 nationality was British, so I guess that's why they get to put the audio frequency wherever 261 00:12:22,660 --> 00:12:27,540 they want, I did not know that, I thought it was like, you know, Mr. Xeneth, who invented 262 00:12:27,540 --> 00:12:35,300 the television, Joseph Swan demonstrated the electric light a year before Edison, nationality, 263 00:12:35,300 --> 00:12:40,220 British, so I guess that means he gets to put fucked up bayonet, connectors on it, if you 264 00:12:40,220 --> 00:12:45,660 want, but that's amazing, I never heard about Joseph Swan, that he demonstrated the electric 265 00:12:45,660 --> 00:12:49,100 light a year before Edison, then how come Edison gets all the credit or is that only in the 266 00:12:49,100 --> 00:12:55,740 states that he gets all the credit? William Gilbert coined the word electricity, nationality, 267 00:12:55,740 --> 00:13:02,780 British, now what I remember from my history lessons, didn't Benjamin Franklin, this is the way 268 00:13:02,780 --> 00:13:08,220 Americans learned about the discovery of electricity, Benjamin Franklin was flying a kite with a 269 00:13:08,300 --> 00:13:13,420 wire on it with a key at the end, and he got electrocuted when lightning struck his kite during 270 00:13:13,420 --> 00:13:18,940 a storm, and that apparently is when he went, well, Boeing electricity, apparently not, 271 00:13:19,660 --> 00:13:23,980 well, I have to take it from Dave that William Gilbert coined the word electricity, and then he 272 00:13:23,980 --> 00:13:30,540 winds up by saying, UK Boeing over, and regards Dave, excellent Dave, thank you very much, 273 00:13:30,540 --> 00:13:35,820 let me see, there's a couple more emails that got here, Mike from Holland says, hi Adam, welcome to 274 00:13:35,820 --> 00:13:39,820 UK, congratulations on the culture show, peace, short of general, I love publicity for podcasting, 275 00:13:39,820 --> 00:13:45,820 boo, oh, here's one about plug TV systems, here's one for you, can you explain, oh, this is a good one, 276 00:13:46,460 --> 00:13:53,100 he says, can you explain, well, all electric sockets in the Netherlands are halfway up the wall, 277 00:13:53,100 --> 00:13:57,180 that's always puzzling me, why not have them at floor level like over here, so they're not so obvious, 278 00:13:58,620 --> 00:14:04,300 okay, very good question, that is something we noticed as well, and I believe it's twofold, 279 00:14:04,380 --> 00:14:10,140 one is it was safety for children, kind of like the way I guess UK has switched next to every single 280 00:14:11,100 --> 00:14:16,220 electrical outlet that they have, which is probably also a safety thing as well, but I also believe, 281 00:14:16,220 --> 00:14:22,460 because most of the Netherlands is several feet under below sea level, thus underwater, 282 00:14:23,420 --> 00:14:29,500 flooding certainly occurred back in the day, and yeah, when flooding occurred, you know, you want to have 283 00:14:29,500 --> 00:14:33,420 a little bit of space there before it hits the electrical sockets, that's the only answer I've 284 00:14:33,500 --> 00:14:36,940 ever heard, it may not be the correct one, there's something else if you ever come to the 285 00:14:36,940 --> 00:14:42,860 Netherlands, you may notice that the toilets in Holland don't just have like a hole down into water, 286 00:14:42,860 --> 00:14:50,700 they have a shelf, there's an actual shelf, and you know, stuff just kind of sits there until 287 00:14:50,700 --> 00:14:56,860 you flush it, and I remember moving to the Netherlands and inquiring about that thinking was very 288 00:14:56,940 --> 00:15:04,540 weird, and the way that happened is that the first toilets were made for hospitals, and the same 289 00:15:04,540 --> 00:15:11,020 company that made the toilets for hospitals basically just continue to make them for for domestic 290 00:15:11,020 --> 00:15:16,140 use for people's homes, and in a hospital it's quite handy to have a little shelf there to check 291 00:15:16,140 --> 00:15:22,380 some stuff out, and that's the story behind that, hey, I'm almost as good as Patricia with 292 00:15:22,380 --> 00:15:28,540 a Stevie next stuff, aren't I? Now, one more TV solutions, where do we have here, this is from Toby 293 00:15:28,540 --> 00:15:33,420 Jeffy, oh yeah, he said something, okay, so here's the actual technical deal with the televisions, 294 00:15:33,420 --> 00:15:38,060 reason you can't hear the UK audio on your TV is that the rest of Europe uses PAL GPH for 295 00:15:38,060 --> 00:15:44,620 UHF, which is a 5.5 megahertz audio offset, whereas the UK South Africa, Ireland and the Hong Kong 296 00:15:44,620 --> 00:15:51,660 used PAL I, which is a six megahertz offset for the audio, not sure what PAL does this, or PAL I does this, 297 00:15:51,660 --> 00:15:57,500 but basically means that the RF reception is going to, you're going to not going to hear the audio, 298 00:15:57,500 --> 00:16:02,540 one way around it, and this is something that I actually thought about myself, is if you get a free 299 00:16:02,540 --> 00:16:06,380 view box, which I told you about, the stuff that pulls digital channels out of thin air, 300 00:16:06,380 --> 00:16:10,540 you can use this scarred, and I do believe that the scarred is just a pure audio and video in the 301 00:16:10,540 --> 00:16:16,780 start, the scarred connector when those broad, multi-prong connectors, so I'm hoping that once we 302 00:16:16,860 --> 00:16:22,700 get our credit cards and either UK issued credit card to get sky, to get the sky satellite system, 303 00:16:22,700 --> 00:16:27,660 and then I'll be able to connect a couple of TVs up using the set top box going directly to the 304 00:16:27,660 --> 00:16:36,140 scarred to the scarred connector. So that's it about that for the, then that's also minor really 305 00:16:36,140 --> 00:16:42,620 when all things considered is not bad at all, and we're fitting in quite perfectly, even with 306 00:16:42,620 --> 00:16:48,380 the small, you know, these small little differences. Ross Jones sent me a link, which I actually 307 00:16:48,380 --> 00:16:52,700 posted on my weblog, another link in the production show notes for today's Daily Source Code, 308 00:16:54,140 --> 00:17:03,100 that the BBC is doing a show on radio six tomorrow about the ever so popular, quote, unquote, 309 00:17:03,100 --> 00:17:08,380 podcasting, so I'll be sure to, hopefully get a recording of that, or at least be able to 310 00:17:08,380 --> 00:17:13,420 listen to it and report back on what the BBC is doing with that. Again, the BBC is really 311 00:17:13,420 --> 00:17:19,180 getting into into podcasting. I can feel it. There's no like official sanctioned, you know, 312 00:17:19,180 --> 00:17:22,700 really yet, but I know the technicians are all over it, and I know a lot of the people who are 313 00:17:23,500 --> 00:17:28,380 who are presenters and producers are still, you know, very interested in doing whatever they can with 314 00:17:28,380 --> 00:17:35,980 podcasting. Along the lines of the culture show that aired last week, Stuart Hunter has also posted 315 00:17:36,060 --> 00:17:42,460 an MPEG version of the podcasting segment for all of you who are having problems with the MP4 version, 316 00:17:42,460 --> 00:17:48,300 and he's placed that as a bit torrent. Again, that URL available from the pod show production notes 317 00:17:48,300 --> 00:17:54,540 for today's Daily Source Code. Let's get another little promo here. Hello everybody, 318 00:17:54,540 --> 00:17:59,420 different lines, the digital man from the digital experience podcast. I want to invite all of you 319 00:17:59,420 --> 00:18:06,220 to check us out.

So check out the weekly digital experience podcast, 323 00:18:24,140 --> 00:18:34,060 only at lands.pfil.com. All righty. Gotta say I'm hearing more everybody's popping up every single day, 324 00:18:34,060 --> 00:18:40,460 and that's actually the cover real all requests that I played by accident earlier in the show. 325 00:18:40,460 --> 00:18:45,660 Check it out. Just listen to how people are saying every body. It's an all-request Sunday on cover 326 00:18:45,740 --> 00:18:54,380 ville, everybody. By the way, I totally love the Beatles coverville, which was the Thanksgiving 327 00:18:54,380 --> 00:19:01,980 version. Man, that kicks so much ass. It was wonderful to hear. I suggest you check that out if you 328 00:19:01,980 --> 00:19:08,460 haven't yet. Great stories, great versions by other artists, and it came right after I was watching 329 00:19:08,460 --> 00:19:14,060 this wonderful BBC program, which I'll also put a link to on the on the podcast show notes. 330 00:19:15,740 --> 00:19:22,780 A couple of years back, someone found an old analog portable jute box that belonged to John 331 00:19:22,780 --> 00:19:28,300 Lennon. I think they found it in an auction. So it's literally, it's like a case, you open this 332 00:19:28,300 --> 00:19:36,700 case up, and in it is a whole mechanism, plus these 45 RPM vinyl singles, and it was his personal 333 00:19:36,700 --> 00:19:41,020 jute box. And he'd filled it up with, so kind of like the the iPod of the day, right? 334 00:19:41,740 --> 00:19:49,260 And it was found intact with all the original 45s that John Lennon put there in there himself, 335 00:19:49,260 --> 00:19:54,620 written down a couple of been changed around. And basically what they did is they took this jute box 336 00:19:54,620 --> 00:20:01,820 and went to all the people who songs were in it. And it was amazing. I mean, they also took 337 00:20:01,820 --> 00:20:06,860 the people who a couple people who weren't in it, but so like sting for instance. But they, 338 00:20:06,940 --> 00:20:13,500 you know, they found all these old blues artists and singers. And it was, you know, I'll put a link 339 00:20:14,540 --> 00:20:19,020 to the show. I don't know if there's any video available, but it was a fabulous, fabulous show. 340 00:20:19,020 --> 00:20:22,700 Again, just, and it wasn't even the BBC. I think it was ITV actually, one of the, 341 00:20:22,700 --> 00:20:27,260 one of the commercial stations. It was just a great, great show. I wonder if it was, it looked like 342 00:20:27,260 --> 00:20:31,500 was it was all English names on the credit. So I guess it was a UK production. I have no idea if 343 00:20:32,460 --> 00:20:38,380 it's new or if it was repeat or if it's ever aired anywhere. But I was, yeah, I was totally amazed 344 00:20:38,380 --> 00:20:44,060 by that. And then, but on the heels of that to hear the coverville, the coverville of the Beatles 345 00:20:44,060 --> 00:20:52,380 was absolutely fantastic. Just beautiful. Let's see, what did we want to handle today? A couple 346 00:20:52,380 --> 00:21:03,580 more plugs. What is this UPEI? Okay. Justin, Doran. Can't stop listening to your show. Good stuff. 347 00:21:03,580 --> 00:21:07,260 Just wanted to let you know. I'm starting a new university web radio station podcasting service 348 00:21:07,260 --> 00:21:12,220 over here. The University of Prince Edward Island in Canada. Your show provides a lot of inspiration 349 00:21:12,220 --> 00:21:19,740 for it. And he had links to, did I just play that promo? I'll put the email in the, in the 350 00:21:19,740 --> 00:21:26,380 show notes. A little discombobulated today, sitting in the car trying to do this. And also Studio Geek 351 00:21:26,380 --> 00:21:32,780 another podcast you want to check out with an RIA free podcast, which I heard someone the other 352 00:21:32,780 --> 00:21:37,740 day say, RIA. Maybe that's the way we should just categorize it. RIA. It's the, instead of RIA, 353 00:21:37,740 --> 00:21:42,940 just say, RIA. I think that's probably the best way to go. Want to give a little attention 354 00:21:42,940 --> 00:21:50,780 to the new sports node on the iPodor.org directory. And I kind of messed it up. I was talking 355 00:21:50,780 --> 00:21:58,540 about the, what is it? The, the, the skinny on sports podcast. And I'd confuse it, the skinny on 356 00:21:58,540 --> 00:22:06,780 sports podcast with Curtis, who is actually, does the sports pod at the sports pod.com. And Curtis 357 00:22:06,780 --> 00:22:10,380 is actually the person who has been working with me for the past two weeks trying to get an 358 00:22:10,380 --> 00:22:17,340 OPML file just right so that we can get it into the directory. And it was a real, I mean, 359 00:22:17,340 --> 00:22:22,140 it was just like giving birth. And even though I have no idea what I'm talking about when it comes 360 00:22:22,140 --> 00:22:27,580 to that, it was really painful. So we finally got it to work. It's up and running. And Curtis 361 00:22:27,580 --> 00:22:31,260 is actually going to write up a little document to assist people when they get into the loop that 362 00:22:31,260 --> 00:22:36,140 we got into with, with trying to get the right OPML just, you know, just perfect so that the 363 00:22:36,220 --> 00:22:43,500 directory would parse it all. So apologies there. The skinny on sports is of course now listed 364 00:22:43,500 --> 00:22:49,100 in the, in the directory, but it's really Curtis who's maintaining this and he's got all kinds 365 00:22:49,100 --> 00:22:57,580 of sports podcasts. Check out the sports, what is it? The sports, the sports pod, sports pod.com. 366 00:22:57,580 --> 00:23:05,820 Again, all information linked into the appropriate places, of course, from the iPodor.org directory. 367 00:23:06,220 --> 00:23:15,180 And we're working on a lot of OPML stuff. Droo from Don and Drew has also gotten the OPML bug. 368 00:23:15,180 --> 00:23:20,060 And I think what's going to happen pretty soon is this whole concept of the pod squad, 369 00:23:20,060 --> 00:23:24,860 which essentially is, oh, I eight or nine podcasts that just, you know, are my favorites. 370 00:23:24,860 --> 00:23:28,940 We're going to start linking those together and, and, and really having a lot of the information 371 00:23:28,940 --> 00:23:34,300 flow from one to the next and also make it easy for people to subscribe to an entire, 372 00:23:35,180 --> 00:23:40,460 basically a station or a network in one go. So just here's one file, drag it into your iPodor 373 00:23:40,460 --> 00:23:45,660 and boom, you're subscribed. And it should also maybe put them into a separate, I'm thinking, 374 00:23:45,660 --> 00:23:50,380 I don't know, maybe we should put them into a separate playlist on your MP3 player. 375 00:23:50,380 --> 00:23:54,860 Not quite sure yet, but a big part of that is going to be these production notes and how we flow 376 00:23:54,860 --> 00:24:01,180 things from, from one podcast to the next. And maybe how we can, you know, all together, you know, 377 00:24:01,180 --> 00:24:07,420 as a, as a group, as a pod squad, maybe we can figure out how to promote certain songs together, 378 00:24:07,420 --> 00:24:11,420 or who knows? But it's definitely high on the radar for getting stuff rolling. 379 00:24:12,460 --> 00:24:19,660 As is the bit torrent method of distribution, boy, this has been a big thing on the mailing lists. 380 00:24:19,660 --> 00:24:24,460 And unfortunately, too many private emails over the past week, which I think we've kind of 381 00:24:24,460 --> 00:24:30,300 gotten out of the private email circuit by now. But Dave Winner and I co-authored, 382 00:24:30,460 --> 00:24:36,780 where I think it's just going to be the simplest way to get an alternative form of distribution 383 00:24:36,780 --> 00:24:42,300 for podcasters who, you know, are trying to figure out a way of distributing their podcasters, 384 00:24:42,300 --> 00:24:47,980 more efficiently than just putting an MP3 up and letting everyone hammer the MP3 file directly. 385 00:24:48,780 --> 00:24:55,180 So we've come up with a bit torrent name space for RSS. And it's really simple. All it solves is 386 00:24:55,180 --> 00:25:00,300 one thing. And that's what I like about it. It just gives you a way to add an alternative 387 00:25:00,300 --> 00:25:06,060 download location and download method specifically for a bit torrent. It's not trying to solve 388 00:25:06,060 --> 00:25:11,420 anything else than that, which is why I like it because RSS is supposed to be simple. So the next 389 00:25:11,420 --> 00:25:14,940 thing we'll be working on, I think, is this OPML. Of course, we're going to figure out, you know, 390 00:25:14,940 --> 00:25:20,380 I don't know if there should be an OPML namespace or whatever. In fact, I've just looking at RSS 391 00:25:20,380 --> 00:25:28,860 an OPML, both in an outliner. I'm trying to think how can we connect those two, but I'm not sure yet. 392 00:25:29,740 --> 00:25:34,940 And hey, it's only Monday. Damn. This is the brain's work in a way too hard. 393 00:25:36,380 --> 00:25:42,460 It's not often that I come across something from Andrew Grummett's feeds. I'm subscribed to a 394 00:25:42,460 --> 00:25:49,420 couple of different RSS feeds that he has with the RSS 2.0 and in closures. And something finally 395 00:25:49,500 --> 00:25:56,060 came across the wire off of Andrew Grummett's, I guess this is podcast feed. And it was so cute. 396 00:25:56,780 --> 00:26:01,100 It took me a while that it took me two plays actually to figure out what was going on. 397 00:26:02,300 --> 00:26:08,940 But this is, it's he came through as, see, was it categorized as the Grummett family players 398 00:26:10,060 --> 00:26:14,940 from Andrew Grummett's audio weblog. The tune is Freddie Freeloader and I guess this 399 00:26:15,340 --> 00:26:20,060 um, I'm going to kid shoot see a nine mile online here in the car. I'm thinking it's Andrew 400 00:26:20,060 --> 00:26:25,020 of one kid or two. I think he has one child. So I think that the deal is Andrew is kind of doing 401 00:26:25,020 --> 00:26:30,380 the melody and then his child is blowing on whatever he's blowing on. 402 00:26:44,940 --> 00:26:45,900 Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do 403 00:27:14,940 --> 00:27:44,940 do do do do do do do do 404 00:27:44,940 --> 00:27:49,380 old ladies and gentlemen you heard you heard it here first on the daily source code where 405 00:27:49,380 --> 00:27:53,020 users and developers party together and when we got a lot of stuff to take care of 406 00:27:53,020 --> 00:27:59,580 here in the UK I have still a full afternoon right now it's shoot it's already 407 00:27:59,580 --> 00:28:03,260 220 so I'm expecting the girls out here any minute now will rush the groceries 408 00:28:03,260 --> 00:28:07,500 back home then I got to take them to the hairdresser nail salon and then of 409 00:28:07,500 --> 00:28:10,860 course well there they are you know what I'm going to do you know what I'm 410 00:28:10,860 --> 00:28:13,860 going to do you know I'm going to walk right into Starbucks and get hooked up 411 00:28:13,860 --> 00:28:18,660 and upload the show that's exactly what I'm going to do and I'll be back tomorrow 412 00:28:18,660 --> 00:28:25,140 with more source code for you right here from Curry College well then again 413 00:28:25,140 --> 00:28:29,260 of course this is Stimio A8 I'm pretty kind of just hopefully will be tomorrow 414 00:28:29,260 --> 00:28:33,980 no no broadband yet so I'm going to take I predict probably the rest of the 415 00:28:33,980 --> 00:28:38,740 week before the before it's scheduled but I've got a big honking download 416 00:28:38,740 --> 00:28:47,620 so I'm just coming up as always comments are welcome and you're your 417 00:28:47,620 --> 00:28:51,860 audio comments or promos or whatever you have it's out of a free.com of course 418 00:28:51,860 --> 00:28:55,820 I'm going to comment on my weblog of live 940.com and the source code can be found 419 00:28:55,820 --> 00:29:00,660 in its archives later show at the podcast RSS feed and daily source code.com 420 00:29:00,660 --> 00:29:05,060 I'll check you out tomorrow everybody take care bye bye 421 00:29:08,740 --> 00:29:22,840 RSS
