1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,000 Daily source code, episode 189 2 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:15,000 Okay everyone, quiet everyone, simmer down, simmer down. 3 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,000 I just want to say thank you for all the hard work you've done. 4 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,000 We couldn't have done it without you. 5 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:34,000 Okay, quiet, static check, light, ready, sound, sound, boom man, ready. 6 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,000 Is that a mint position? 7 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:42,000 Ready? Okay, 10 seconds people. 8 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,000 Let's do this right. 9 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:51,000 Five, four, three, two, cue music, lights up. 10 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:58,000 Let's do this right now. 11 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,000 Ladies and gentlemen, for many years us and announcer, 12 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,000 it has been my privilege to introduce a number of very important people. 13 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,000 But never have I felt the pride that is glowing within me today 14 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:30,000 as I introduced the gracious and beloved star of our show. 15 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,000 Yes ladies and gentlemen, it gives me extreme pleasure 16 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,000 to present to you a man whose very benevolence has earned for him 17 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,000 the admiration, respect and everlasting love of millions. 18 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,000 And here he is! 19 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,000 Sixty million dollars worth of airplane strap to my ass. 20 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,000 Than the next generation radio content in my ears. 21 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,000 Hey everybody, it is June 6th 2005. 22 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,000 Welcome to the source code. 23 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:15,000 And this show is created entirely on the cast blaster. 24 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,000 We're on data number 14 right now. 25 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,000 So things could go a little bit of rye. 26 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,000 Hold on, let me just lower the microphone a little bit 27 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,000 to make sure we don't overmodulate which seems to be the biggest problem 28 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,000 on the crap. 29 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,000 Okay, I think we're good to go. 30 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,000 Man, a lot of cool changes in the software. 31 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:39,000 Okay, so we've got automatic ducking on, 32 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,000 which means that the minute you hit the talk button, 33 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,000 the music starts to fade down a little bit. 34 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,000 Which now actually has a shortcut by hitting the space bar 35 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,000 it turns on or it turns off. 36 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:55,000 You see, so that's on, and that's on, and then it was off. 37 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,000 Okay, so we've got to figure out the ducking system here. 38 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,000 But at least it's working, and there's lots of cool features 39 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,000 which we'll talk about on today's source code. 40 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,000 Okay, so one of the first things I noticed 41 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:17,000 is that the headphone monitor is really soft, but man, 42 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,000 I gotta tell you, I've been talking to Mike, 43 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,000 who's the lead developer on cast blaster. 44 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:28,000 Just understanding the inner workings of windows 45 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,000 and the way it handles sound is, man, 46 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,000 that's a whole education by itself, that's pretty twisted. 47 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:41,000 No mash up today, although I do have a cool pod safe music track. 48 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:48,000 Which is from Iraq, so it's an Iraq pod safe music track. 49 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,000 I've got a couple things to talk about, and of course we've got 50 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,000 all the effects are loaded up. 51 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,000 I love the standard effects that come with, 52 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,000 this is just fantastic hold on a second. 53 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,000 Now, one I think is probably better is if I just raise up the level 54 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,000 there, let me just check for a second. 55 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,000 Okay, that's better, so I'll just leave it like that, 56 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,000 and then I can talk over it. 57 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,000 I don't think the auto duck works that well. 58 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,000 When you really want to bring the level up real quick, 59 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,000 like you just heard in the opening there, 60 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,000 when I do the power of pure intellect, 61 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,000 I want that to be highlighted, 62 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,000 it takes a little bit too long for the auto ducking to pop up there, 63 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,000 so I'll just leave it as it is. 64 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,000 Cool electronic effects though. 65 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,000 So I wonder if that was over modulated at all. 66 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,000 You know, I'll just turn the auto feature on. 67 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,000 There we go. 68 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,000 I'm going to keep this one relatively short, 69 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,000 because I'm not too sure of the quality. 70 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:50,000 The biggest problem being the sound card in the, 71 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,000 in the, what is this, a very tech tablet that I have. 72 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,000 Also, to make it completely fair, 73 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,000 what I've done is I'm using the headset 74 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,000 that I usually use for Skype on the tablet. 75 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,000 So it's not the normal processing that you have on the, 76 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,000 on the big microphone through the big setup. 77 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,000 So please don't go emailing me saying, 78 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,000 oh, it sounds like shit compared to other stuff, 79 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,000 because, you know, there's no way that this microphone 80 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:17,000 can sound as good as the, as the pure SM7 does. 81 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,000 But I actually had listened to a little test, 82 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,000 and it sounded pretty good. 83 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,000 Well, I want to lower the microphone just a little bit more, 84 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:28,000 just to make sure that we're absolutely not over modulating. 85 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,000 Okay, there we go. 86 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,000 Let me just go grab my paper. 87 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,000 That, of course, is really nice, 88 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,000 is that I can now walk around with this thing. 89 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,000 And, you know, I have the mic strapped to my head, 90 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,000 so I think going nowhere. 91 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:45,000 Here we go, sit down on the couch, perfect. 92 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,000 Okay, so today is Monday. 93 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,000 It's a dreary once again in the UK. 94 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,000 What can I say? 95 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,000 That's what you get. 96 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,000 It's supposed to be actually nicer 97 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:57,000 or the rest of this week, 98 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,000 but so far, no evidence of that. 99 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,000 Let me tell you a little bit about cast blaster. 100 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:03,000 This is, as I said, 101 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,000 I'll lower the mic just a little bit more. 102 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,000 This is beta number 14. 103 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,000 So we've had 14 versions to play with so far. 104 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,000 And we've got a lot of testers, 105 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,000 and a lot of people have been putting in their, 106 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,000 their beta reports, 107 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,000 and we've really gotten this most excellent features 108 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,000 and fixes and stuff is really rocking from what I can see. 109 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,000 We actually have a little menu bar now. 110 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,000 One that has says create, 111 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,000 which I'm looking at right now, 112 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,000 which is the interface that you've probably seen a screenshot of before. 113 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,000 Then we have described, this is interesting. 114 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,000 This is basically the ID3 tags, 115 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:41,000 and we now have a field for show notes. 116 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,000 Although, when I highlight the show notes, 117 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,000 field, the cursor does show up, 118 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,000 but I can't type anything in there. 119 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,000 So, must be something I'm doing wrong, 120 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,000 or maybe that's a bug somewhere, 121 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:54,000 so I'll have to look at that. 122 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,000 I've got a picture in there. 123 00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:01,000 Now, publish is a relatively new tab. 124 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,000 Yeah, because we'll just call them tabs, 125 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,000 where you can give your podcast a file name, 126 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,000 and save it to disk, 127 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,000 and also upload to server, 128 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,000 which you configure under the configure tab, 129 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:18,000 and right there's an FTP server with a path, 130 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,000 the login password, 131 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,000 so it'll shoot it right up to the server, 132 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,000 and all I need to do then, 133 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,000 of course, is to create your RSS file, 134 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,000 and that will be the next step in the beta process, 135 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,000 but I think we're going to concentrate on this first. 136 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,000 It's kind of cool that you can do all the stuff on the flywall, 137 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,000 it's playing, by the way. 138 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:36,000 Let's see. 139 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,000 So yesterday, which was Sunday, 140 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,000 took the girls, Patricia and Christina, 141 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,000 who London's West End, 142 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:43,000 we had not been, 143 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:44,000 well, we've been to the West End, 144 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,000 but we've never been to a show in the West End, 145 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,000 and we went to see a classic, 146 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,000 Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, 147 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:55,000 which you may think, 148 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,000 at first hand, you might say, 149 00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,000 well, that's, isn't that for kids? 150 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:04,000 Okay, just close the studio door here. 151 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,000 Studio door, the bedroom door, 152 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,000 converted to an office slash studio. 153 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,000 Yeah, of course it's for kids, 154 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,000 and of course it was a matinee show, 155 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,000 so there were lots of kids and adults there as well, 156 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:20,000 but as you'd expect from a typical kids play or a musical, 157 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,000 there was plenty of jokes in there for adults. 158 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,000 Interesting to see, was it Brian Connelly, 159 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,000 I think, played the lead role? 160 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,000 I mean, I have the official program here, 161 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,000 let me tell you, was that his name? 162 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,000 I think it was, he was really good, 163 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,000 great singer, 164 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,000 let me go cast, 165 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,000 cast in order of appearance, 166 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,000 no, we don't want in order of appearance. 167 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,000 Here it is, 168 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,000 yes, Brian Connelly, 169 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,000 correcticus pots, 170 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,000 Tony Adams, as Grand Poppots, 171 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,000 Joe Gibb, who was truly scrumptious, 172 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,000 she was great, beautiful voice, 173 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:00,000 and very interesting, 174 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:04,000 the child catcher is a guy named Alvin Stardust, 175 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,000 and Alvin Stardust in the 70s 176 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,000 was like a really, 177 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,000 which I say, 178 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,000 flamboyant kind of trippy pop singer, 179 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,000 who had a couple of hits, 180 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:19,000 actually he, he was critically acclaimed, 181 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,000 really, he's done a lot of, 182 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,000 a lot of TV work, a lot of other musical work, 183 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,000 and so now he is the child catcher, 184 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,000 and he was getting plenty of booze and hisses, 185 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,000 and yeah, 186 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,000 so maybe it's a kid's play, 187 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,000 but there's a really, 188 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,000 you know, actually there are a couple of great morals 189 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,000 to this, to the story, 190 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,000 and I'd have to say, 191 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,000 one embodies itself in, 192 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,000 you know what, 193 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,000 let me see, 194 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:47,000 maybe I can, 195 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,000 I was looking for this earlier on iTunes, 196 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,000 because the moral of the story to me 197 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,000 is embodying the song, 198 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,000 the roses, 199 00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,000 what is it? 200 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,000 From the ashes of destruction, 201 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,000 rise the roses of success. 202 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:05,000 I'm just going to go to iTunes, 203 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,000 and see if I can find it in the iTunes music store. 204 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,000 Here's what happened earlier today 205 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,000 on a different computer, 206 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:12,000 on one of my max, 207 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,000 I wanted to get a hold of that song, 208 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,000 I wanted to buy it, 209 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,000 and it wouldn't allow me to purchase the song, 210 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,000 I'll just see the roses, 211 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,000 see if we can find it. 212 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,000 Because my credit card is still built 213 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,000 to the Netherlands, 214 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:30,000 shoot, see, 215 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,000 now I won't even show it. 216 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,000 And I guess because they don't have the rights, 217 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:38,000 or they haven't cleared the rights to that song yet, 218 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:42,000 you can't purchase it if you live in the Netherlands, 219 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,000 which is just so fucking crazy. 220 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,000 That's all right, 221 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,000 shitty bang bang. 222 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,000 And you also, 223 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,000 now you can't see what I did. 224 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,000 I checked it out on a fresh install of iTunes, 225 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,000 that didn't have me registered 226 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,000 through my account, 227 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,000 which is through a Netherlands build credit card. 228 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,000 So it did show me the song, 229 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,000 I couldn't purchase it by itself, 230 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,000 could only purchase it as the entire album. 231 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,000 So I wanted to purchase the entire album, 232 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,000 and then it said, 233 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:13,000 oh, we're sorry, 234 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,000 since your account is linked to 235 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,000 a credit card building through the Netherlands, 236 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,000 we can't sell it to you. 237 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,000 And now we're not going to show it to you anymore. 238 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,000 So that sucks because I wanted to, 239 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,000 at least play the little preview snippet. 240 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:29,000 But you've probably heard the song from the ashes of destruction, 241 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,000 rise the roses of success, 242 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,000 which to me was a great moral to that story. 243 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,000 Had a great time seeing it, 244 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,000 and can't wait to take the girls to see another show very soon. 245 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,000 We have great connections we've found out now. 246 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,000 You just hop on the train and go for it. 247 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:47,000 The 35 minutes you arrive at Waterloo Station. 248 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,000 You can hop on the tube, 249 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,000 or really just like a seven minute cab ride, 250 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:55,000 and it takes you right to any of the famous theaters there. 251 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:56,000 And it was a lot of fun. 252 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:57,000 We had a great time, 253 00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,000 especially after having been away for so long. 254 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,000 It was really nice to just hang out 255 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,000 and do some fun stuff with the ladies. 256 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:04,000 Hold on a second. 257 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,000 Let me do a little. 258 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,000 See, I've got that auto ducking on. 259 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,000 It sounds a little bit soft. 260 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,000 I just don't have enough hands to control all the controls 261 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,000 and cast blaster, or really only have one mouse. 262 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,000 I wish I could have two mice to do that. 263 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:21,000 A couple of things I just wanted to chat about again. 264 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,000 I'm not going to make this too long in case the quality is just too crappy. 265 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,000 You're going to see it more as a kind of like a test 266 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,000 and an a source code mixed into one. 267 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,000 Sound seeing tours.com now has a manager. 268 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,000 Her name is Katya. 269 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,000 She is from Holland. 270 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,000 I worked with her on a number of things, 271 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,000 including our reality TV show. 272 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,000 And she just got back from a trip. 273 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:42,000 She went to... 274 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,000 What the hell is she going Malaysia? 275 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,000 I think she went to Malaysia. 276 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:50,000 And she is completely bitten by the sound seeing tour bug 277 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:54,000 and she recorded plenty of sound seeing tours there. 278 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,000 She was so excited about the prospects of it 279 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,000 that she asked if she could manage sound seeing tours.com 280 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,000 and of course I was happy to give that up. 281 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,000 So check it out. 282 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,000 It's the brand new sound seeing tours.com. 283 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,000 Katya is managing that. 284 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,000 And you want to subscribe if you want to hear all the 285 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:14,000 awesome sound seeing

290 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,000 as we move along with that. 291 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:35,000 I received a couple of emails from 292 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,000 Exit50.com. 293 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,000 It was that. 294 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:44,000 It was names completely, completely looted me. 295 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:49,000 Not have to go back and look at my Gmail. 296 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,000 Actually, I will. 297 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,000 I want a second. 298 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,000 Let's do that. 299 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,000 See now I can do all this stuff off from one screen. 300 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:57,000 That is kind of cool. 301 00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,000 Let's see, exit 50. 302 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,000 Now Gmail, you know it's great search. 303 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:03,000 Andre there you go. 304 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:04,000 Andrew coffee. 305 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:05,000 That's right. 306 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:09,000 And if you go to exit 50.com, you'll see right there 307 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:14,000 that he is promoting live from Iraq the 425th, 308 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:18,000 which is, I guess, the Infantry Division. 309 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:22,000 He interviewed them because they have put together 310 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:27,000 an album of music that was actually recorded in Iraq. 311 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,000 The lyrics are written in Iraq and it really, 312 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,000 yeah, it's pretty heavy stuff. 313 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,000 The whole story is there on the exit 50.com website. 314 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:43,000 And they have their own website, which is www.425.com. 315 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,000 Let's see if there's any info I can read. 316 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:47,000 It has made a couple. 317 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,000 Okay, so I'm seeing here fresh off the press live from Iraq. 318 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,000 Makes the front page of the killing daily Harold. 319 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:53,000 Okay. 320 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,000 Well, I think they should get a little more, 321 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,000 a little more press than that. 322 00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:59,000 You can actually buy the album. 323 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,000 It is shipping now. 324 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,000 And I was fortunate enough to receive a track, 325 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,000 which I want to share with you now. 326 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,000 It's pretty much a wrap album. 327 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:13,000 But again, created in Iraq by the 425th Infantry Division. 328 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,000 And let me just check and see if that's Infantry Division. 329 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:20,000 I don't really have the website as cool, 330 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:25,000 but it doesn't have like an about. 331 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:26,000 Let me see. 332 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,000 Let's see what the article says in the Colleen Daily Harold. 333 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:30,000 That'll be interesting. 334 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,000 Fort Hood troops tell a soldier story. 335 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:38,000 Well, waging a verbal war in the first wrap album is the headline. 336 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,000 Title is live from Iraq. 337 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,000 Let's go right to it. 338 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,000 And let's play the fourth track off of that CD, 339 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,000 which you can also purchase at CDBaby.com. 340 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,000 This is titled Holding My Breath. 341 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,000 And I can feel myself dying. 342 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,000 To norm it, I might as it's in my lungs. 343 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,000 For maybe I'm tired. 344 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,000 Maybe it's time for me to breathe in. 345 00:16:03,750 --> 00:18:48,750 [ Music ] 346 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,000 So let's see. 347 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:52,000 So let's see. 348 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:53,000 So let's have. 349 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:54,000 So let's see. 350 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:55,000 So let's see. 351 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,000 So let's see. 352 00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,000 So let's see. 353 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:00,000 Now let's. 354 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:01,000 So let's see. 355 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,000 So let's see. 356 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,000 So let's see. 357 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:05,000 And let's see. 358 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:06,000 So let's see. 359 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:07,000 So let's see. 360 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:08,000 So let's see. 361 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:09,000 So let's see. 362 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,000 So let's see. 363 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:12,000 So let's see. 364 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,000 Let's see. 365 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,000 And let's see. 366 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:21,760 stuff. So I'm liking this. The cast blaster is, it's work and it's not exactly the type of 367 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:28,000 sound that I'd like, but of course this is the basic setup that anyone should be able to use 368 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:33,440 with a computer and with a headphone and a microphone jack and at least a headset or you could 369 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:37,360 use a separate microphone. You could probably use a USB microphone. Actually I don't even know if you 370 00:19:37,360 --> 00:19:41,440 could use a USB microphone. That's something I don't have to write that down. Make sure we test that out. 371 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:47,440 And it's really completely mobile on the fly. It has all your stuff in there so I'm really 372 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:55,120 digging it. This is cool. The two other things I need to mention, the podcast specification 373 00:19:55,120 --> 00:20:05,840 working group, PSWG, who you can find at pswg.blogspot.com, seem to have come to consensus on 374 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:12,080 one click subscriptions. And Andrew Grummet, who was one of the iPod or lemon developers, 375 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:18,880 had an announcement about that on his weblog Grummet.net. Of course all of this will be in the 376 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:24,720 in the show notes if today's podcast at dailysourcecode.com as well as at www.curry.com. 377 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:32,960 I'm not quite sure how it works. In fact, it's very confusing to me. All I care about is, hey, 378 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,880 it appears to be working or they have some consensus on how they want to do it. 379 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:43,200 And there seem to be some interim steps. So if you're not a technologist, you should be able to 380 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:50,240 set this up and make it work. But it's funny because it includes a version of the atom ATOM, 381 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:57,680 atom specification. And I guess it, it'll download a little thing to your desktop and then it will 382 00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:04,640 automatically subscribe you to whatever iPod or aggregator you're using that understands this. 383 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:10,240 So it seems like there's like there's a lot of work involved to get it up and rolling, but it doesn't 384 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:15,600 matter because of, you know, I'm just looking at their website now, how many different aggregator 385 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:25,040 and iPod or developers have joined the pswg, cpodraiser, audio blog.com, podcast 411, portlet dev, 386 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:34,160 castfire, podster.de, libson. So it looks like everybody's in there. So that's good. 387 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:39,920 If everyone's in there, everyone's going to support this and not know fantastic. I did read on the 388 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:45,520 iPod or developers list now that there seem to be some confusion about, you know, the consensus on this, 389 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:50,880 whatever, you know, the minute it's working, you know, show me, help me and you know, I'll be happy to 390 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:57,840 put any kind of links or anything on my website to get people comfortable with the idea if we actually 391 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:02,880 have a solution, I would love it. I don't quite understand how it works, but then again, I'm just 392 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:09,920 the disjockey, right? What else did I want to talk about? I want to talk about Google's site map, 393 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:18,800 another great technical development that I understand very little about. Apparently you can set up your 394 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:27,440 you can set up a file. Boy, let me see if I get this right. You can take your weblog and you can create a 395 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:32,880 file, an XML file, which seems kind of strange because I think I'm already creating an XML file, 396 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:42,880 namely an RSS file, but they want a new type of XML file that Google can then index, you can tell Google, 397 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:47,920 okay, here's the XML version of my site, the more I think about it, the crazier it sounds, 398 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:56,080 that it's not just an RSS file, which already is created by every weblog in the world almost and 399 00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:01,440 is automatic. So I guess now we have to have new functionality baked into our weblogging software 400 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:07,600 to create this new Google site map XML file. Whenever that changes, then instead of traversing 401 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:13,200 through your entire site, Google will read just that one file, I guess pick up any differences and 402 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:19,040 we'll know what to index, which is a fantastic, it makes so much sense. I mean, it really does. 403 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:23,760 But of course, I have no idea how to make this file. Yeah, there's all kinds of 404 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:32,800 unix programs and sources available to do that. I was thinking, would it be interesting if you could 405 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:40,000 create like a converter that would convert either your RSS feed to this new site map file, 406 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:45,280 or maybe even better an OPML file that you could then convert to this site map file because 407 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:50,880 that would make directories indexable as well, almost immediately, and wouldn't be cool to have 408 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:58,560 places like podcastali and iPotter.org and other OPML based directories automatically indexed by Google 409 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:05,600 and those reflections, those changes reflected the minute that they're changed and that Google 410 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:10,000 would know about them and would be searchable. I think they'll be fantastic. So, call out to all 411 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:15,760 the developers out there to see if they can hook us up with that. 23, 24 minutes into the show right now. 412 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:20,800 I've been waiting for it. It was sitting in my email. I just overlooked that I guess, but what 413 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:25,680 do you want? With four and a half thousand unread mails, time once again for the hit test. 414 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,360 Three intros and three answers and this is intro number one. 415 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:52,480 Okay, that's one of my favorites. I know it very well. That is Kaylee by Meridian. 416 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:54,480 And this is number two. 417 00:24:54,560 --> 00:25:05,600 Okay, and it's that Skype call there. That's Prince. I would die for you. 418 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,560 And the final one for today. This is number three. 419 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:20,480 Uh, two. The heat of the night? No. I want somebody. 420 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,200 Time's up and these are the answers. This is answer number one. 421 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:32,720 And that's number one. It's Meridian with Kaylee. Yeah, got it. 422 00:25:36,250 --> 00:26:06,250 [ Music ] 423 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:12,160 Answer number one, Kaylee. And this is answer number two. 424 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,720 It's Prince and the Revolution. The song is titled, I would die for you. 425 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,640 Oh, yeah, another point. 426 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:40,640 Prince answer number two. 427 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:44,720 And this is the third and final answer for today's hit test. 428 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:48,720 Number 40 by the way, so it's more than 120. I know the song. 429 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:53,760 In your hit test, Adam. That's a survivor. The burning heart of course. 430 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:56,560 A little boy. 431 00:26:58,750 --> 00:27:23,750 [ Music ] 432 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:37,840 Okay, that's it for today. I hope you enjoyed this one. Of course, feedback is welcome 433 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:41,760 to hittest.gmail.com and you can find information about this hittest. 434 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:49,760 And also the separate hittest podcast on www.yompolet.nl that's Jay and P-O-L-E-T.nl and also.com. 435 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,040 Well, thank you for listening. See you next time. Bye-bye. 436 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:56,400 Okay, young. Thank you very much. Like to like it a lot as always. 437 00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:03,440 And sucked just a little bit as usual. Okay, that's it for today's source code. Thank you for listening. 438 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:13,760 I've got to crank this up a bit. That's the only thing I really need to have it just as I need 439 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:20,400 more volume on the headphones when I'm doing this. I can just barely hear the mix, which is 440 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:28,080 difficult for the way I like to produce the show. But it seems to work. Okay, it shouldn't be too long 441 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:35,600 before we have the cast blast or website up and we can go to a broader beta. Hopefully this show 442 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:42,080 turned out okay. If there aren't too many crappy bits in it, besides the actual content of the show, 443 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:49,360 with as it pertains to the technical production, then I'll just upload it as today's source code 444 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:59,520 189.
