00:01.500 --> 00:20.460
Hi everybody and welcome to
today's source code. That's
Jesse, my dog, saying hi as
well.

00:20.460 --> 00:25.500
On a second. Well, I got to
start off with a gripe right off
the top. I've spent hours

00:25.500 --> 00:30.500
today trying to find software
that will do what I wanted to do
to record these shows.

00:30.500 --> 00:33.500
I'm sorry, go ahead.

00:33.500 --> 00:38.500
And it wasn't easy searching the
web today because we had not one
but two different families

00:38.500 --> 00:42.500
come to check out the house, see
if they want to buy it.

00:42.500 --> 00:47.500
Which, you know, it's kind of
crazy. Anyway, so I mean, I've
been looking around and there's

00:47.500 --> 00:54.500
plenty of software if you want
to stream stuff live to a
shout-cast server or live 365.

00:54.500 --> 01:02.500
But nothing, excuse me, that
actually includes the ability to
mix more than one of those

01:03.000 --> 01:09.640
to MP3s together and to also
have a microphone channel, at
least not for Macintosh. So if

01:09.640 --> 01:17.120
anyone has any ideas, love to
hear about them. Let's see.
Well, yeah, because one of the
main

01:17.120 --> 01:23.800
reasons actually that want to
have that type of a setup is,
you know, for stuff like a

01:23.800 --> 01:29.000
song of the day. I've done some
experimenting with keep holding
the mic up to the speaker,

01:29.000 --> 01:36.160
but it sucks. Yeah, if I'm going
to put songs on, then might as
well sound good, or at least

01:36.160 --> 01:45.720
halfway decent. One to just stop
briefly and think for a second
about Julia Child, who

01:45.720 --> 01:52.120
passed away yesterday, age 91,
which I, it's a nice age
actually, I guess, if, you know,

01:52.120 --> 01:56.320
but she's one of these people
that's been around for just, you
know, forever for generations.

01:56.320 --> 02:02.720
I remember as a kid living in
Kensington, Maryland, Julia
Child came to cook at the local,

02:02.720 --> 02:04.160
I think it was the high school.

02:04.500 --> 02:11.500
and you can hire pleasant view
high or something like that.

02:11.500 --> 02:17.340
And, yes, she cooked up a big,
big batch of spaghetti and
meatballs and families.

02:17.340 --> 02:21.380
I could, you know, for a couple
dollars ahead go eat there.

02:21.380 --> 02:25.340
And I remember distinctly the
food was really good, although a
bit lukewarm by the time

02:25.340 --> 02:26.340
we got ours.

02:26.340 --> 02:32.700
I remember my parents were like
a little bit tense.

02:32.700 --> 02:39.060
They were a little bit tense
about the service, which of
course was done by high school
kids.

02:39.060 --> 02:42.380
So people who came in after us
were served before us.

02:42.380 --> 02:43.820
Anyway, but it was good.

02:43.820 --> 02:44.820
I do remember that.

02:44.820 --> 02:51.180
And I actually found a Julia
child quote and she had a lot of
really good ones through

02:51.180 --> 02:53.660
the blog digger enclosure feed.

02:53.660 --> 02:55.140
Check this out.

02:55.140 --> 02:57.820
Now, hold on a second.

02:57.820 --> 03:02.060
See, this is why I need good
software to do this for me.

03:02.060 --> 03:05.620
Okay, here's that quote again.

03:06.000 --> 03:09.640
Just boil it in a big pot of
scone

03:09.640 --> 03:15.120
Just boil it in a big pot of
scone

03:15.120 --> 03:21.760
See other things I sometimes
caught my eye was a Paris Hilton

03:21.760 --> 03:26.200
Her dogs gone missing her her
was a pet chihuahua

03:26.200 --> 03:31.760
I gotta say I really like the
Paris Hilton reality show the
one she does with Nicole Ritchie

03:32.680 --> 03:39.200
Even though it's not officially
being broadcast in Europe yet. I
don't know maybe it's gonna
start in September

03:39.200 --> 03:45.400
I've I've seen the entire first
season and I'm up to almost up
to speed on the second season

03:45.400 --> 03:48.720
because of the bit torrent feeds
and able to

03:48.720 --> 03:54.400
Download an episode well maybe
two or three days after it's
been aired

03:54.400 --> 03:57.120
and I'm using

03:57.120 --> 04:00.560
This great program called
nucleus. I've linked to it
before

04:01.360 --> 04:05.400
it's basically it's a little
Python application script and

04:05.400 --> 04:08.040
I have it sitting on the

04:07.500 --> 04:13.860
server at my data center and it
has keywords and it can only
it's it's pretty

04:13.860 --> 04:21.220
rudimentary but so it can only
read one RSS feed and it looks
for keywords which

04:21.220 --> 04:25.620
are just basic search terms so
I've got in their simple life
growing up Gody

04:25.620 --> 04:35.860
which is a new show that I just
started just started watching.
Hi Christina.

04:40.500 --> 04:43.500
That's my daughter Christina.

04:45.000 --> 04:50.680
He's going to use the other
computer, so I'll just walk
outside to talk for a second to

04:50.680 --> 04:51.680
you guys.

04:51.680 --> 04:52.680
So back to the keywords.

04:52.680 --> 04:58.160
It's really great because it
just sits there, it parses
through this big RSS file that
comes

04:58.160 --> 04:59.960
in and it's updated very
regularly.

04:59.960 --> 05:01.320
The TV torrents.

05:01.320 --> 05:04.360
And when it catches one of those
keywords, it downloads it.

05:04.360 --> 05:10.000
So of course I'm also getting
some serendipitous content.

05:10.000 --> 05:14.600
Not everything that has the
keywords simple and life in the
title is Paris Hilton's reality

05:14.600 --> 05:16.760
show.

05:16.760 --> 05:21.840
And then once it's in there, I
get notified and then at my
convenience I just download,

05:21.840 --> 05:27.040
batch download, all the new
files which is a pretty fast
link.

05:27.040 --> 05:31.280
And that way it saves me a lot
of hassle and the aggregation is
24 hours.

05:31.280 --> 05:34.280
So basically it's the last yard.

05:34.280 --> 05:39.560
It's on my server just not at
the house yet.

05:39.560 --> 05:46.400
And what I really like about
Nucleus is that it doesn't leave
your torrent files open.

05:46.500 --> 05:52.800
So it just sucks it in and of
course while it's downloading a
file and it doesn't one

05:52.800 --> 05:57.300
at a time which also helps on
flooding the pipes.

05:57.300 --> 06:01.300
It is uploading but once it's
done it's done and then it goes
on to the next torrent.

06:01.300 --> 06:07.380
Because last night I downloaded
a torrent here which is a 250
meg torrent file and this
morning

06:07.380 --> 06:14.500
when I woke up I had pushed out
over 750 megs and like you know
that was more than I thought

06:14.500 --> 06:21.060
I had to offer it and not that I
would mind about the cost or
anything but I literally

06:21.060 --> 06:25.200
can't buy more upstream than
with from my ISP here in
Belgium.

06:27.000 --> 06:29.720
Well, I'm just gonna take a look
at my notes for a second.

06:33.000 --> 06:36.640
Right.

06:39.000 --> 06:43.680
So that's one final thing.

06:43.680 --> 06:48.960
Last night, watched the
Olympics, the opening ceremony,

06:48.960 --> 06:51.400
which was prime time here in
Europe.

06:51.400 --> 06:55.720
And I thought that the Greek did
a pretty good job.

06:55.720 --> 06:58.320
Their opening show wasn't as
made for TV

06:58.320 --> 07:01.160
as it was, for instance, in Los
Angeles or Sydney.

07:01.160 --> 07:02.560
But the show definitely was
good.

07:02.560 --> 07:04.400
And water is always hard to do
on television

07:04.400 --> 07:08.640
to make it look really
spectacular.

07:08.640 --> 07:12.000
What I thought was, well, first
of all, there was DJ Chiesto,

07:12.000 --> 07:15.280
who was our pride and joy in the
Netherlands.

07:15.280 --> 07:18.920
He was spinning all the dance
music

07:18.920 --> 07:21.040
during the presentation of all
of the athletes

07:21.040 --> 07:23.400
from all the countries as they
walk around the track

07:23.400 --> 07:25.840
and then collected into the
center.

07:25.840 --> 07:28.720
That was so very cool seeing
him.

07:28.720 --> 07:30.640
He's been voted top DJ of the
world

07:30.640 --> 07:34.960
for the, I think, the past three
years, consecutively.

07:34.960 --> 07:39.680
What caught my eye is that the
number of video cameras

07:40.500 --> 07:45.780
cameras and digital still
cameras but the athletes who
were being presented the crowd

07:45.780 --> 07:50.980
carried with them was like wow
that I'd love to see some of
that footage or some of those

07:50.980 --> 07:56.580
pictures and you know we have
all the bits we could connect
them all together. I'm presuming

07:56.580 --> 08:01.060
that they have some kind of
internet access in the in what
is it in the Olympic Village

08:01.060 --> 08:06.060
but maybe they even have Wi-Fi I
don't know but it should be just
as simple as plugging

08:06.060 --> 08:14.940
your camera into your laptop and
basically saying broadcast this.
And I think there's

08:14.940 --> 08:19.860
two sides to that equation and
I'm trying to fix the first side
just working on it in

08:19.860 --> 08:30.060
audio to make the iPod more than
just something that you sync to
iTunes. I want your iPod

08:30.060 --> 08:38.540
to be a receiver in a way where
you put it in its cradle to
charge and it loads it up

08:38.540 --> 08:40.580
with new audio from the web.

08:40.580 --> 08:41.580
and that's it.

08:42.000 --> 08:43.840
And it should be seamless.

08:43.840 --> 08:45.640
You don't have to think about it
and it should let you know.

08:45.640 --> 08:48.240
And it should, you know, that
it's done that and it put it

08:48.240 --> 08:51.920
into a perfect playlist.

08:51.920 --> 08:55.880
And I've been hacking around
with that, which is pretty easy,

08:55.880 --> 09:00.400
well, relatively easy on the Mac
because it's already

09:00.400 --> 09:03.760
kind of meant to work together.

09:03.760 --> 09:10.000
So I'm going to continue working
on that and release the script

09:10.000 --> 09:12.760
or code or whatever you want to
call it and who knows,

09:12.760 --> 09:15.920
maybe folks will make it work
for Windows.

09:15.920 --> 09:17.840
And then, of course, is the
other side to the equation,

09:17.840 --> 09:22.200
which is how do you make it
simple for people to broadcast
that?

09:22.200 --> 09:25.560
Is it as simple as maybe
creating an on the go playlist

09:25.560 --> 09:26.400
on your iPod?

09:26.400 --> 09:29.120
And when you put it back into
its charging stand,

09:29.120 --> 09:33.960
it looks at that playlist and
turns it into an RSS 2.0 feed

09:33.960 --> 09:35.400
with enclosures.

09:35.400 --> 09:37.440
And maybe the enclosures are
torrent files.

09:37.440 --> 09:39.080
I don't know.

09:39.080 --> 09:43.480
Well, I guess I don't have to
know because this is source
code, right? This is just stuff
running through my brain

09:43.500 --> 09:49.020
I was a little more
discombobulated than I wanted.

09:52.500 --> 09:53.760
Ahh...

09:55.500 --> 09:56.500
No, that's about it.

09:58.500 --> 10:01.500
I'm gonna walk out one more
time.

10:01.500 --> 10:03.500
It's weird.

10:04.500 --> 10:12.140
Can't sit in the in the bar with
Christina my daughter and talk
to you like this cuz she'd
probably burst out laughing

10:12.140 --> 10:15.360
If you heard me talking to
myself, so that's it

10:15.360 --> 10:18.660
For today's edition

10:18.660 --> 10:20.660
If you do have any ideas about
the software

10:20.660 --> 10:23.860
That that I need you know that
has a mic channel

10:23.860 --> 10:27.540
Please drop me line Adam at
curry calm

10:27.540 --> 10:32.420
Or you know leave a comment
anywhere on my web log live

10:32.980 --> 10:36.540
Curie calm l i v e dot curry
calm

10:36.540 --> 10:44.860
Well, I guess it should have
said the beginning. This was
source code for Saturday August
14th 2004 and

10:44.860 --> 10:49.460
We'll talk to you again tomorrow

10:49.460 --> 10:51.460
Bye
