WEBVTT

00:01.500 --> 00:17.820
Hey everybody it's source code
for August 19th 2004 I'm out of

00:19.500 --> 00:28.620
today from Korea Castle in
Belgium and it's a little bit
later than usual. I guess maybe

00:28.620 --> 00:32.720
it's starting to become the norm
now. I was late last night as
well. It's 10 o'clock

00:32.720 --> 00:38.280
in the evening and I'm telling
you until I get to the end of
these radio shows, I'm

00:38.280 --> 00:42.960
not going to be able to get this
source code up on a daily basis
before 8 o'clock in the

00:42.960 --> 00:48.480
morning east coast to US time.
Hopefully after that though,
we'll be, we'll

00:48.480 --> 00:55.760
be better on the timing. Okay,
just switch a few things around
here on my screen. A couple

00:55.760 --> 01:04.880
of things I want to talk about
today. First of all, you know
I've been winding down my

01:04.880 --> 01:10.000
year long 10 year of doing the
morning show for Radio Veronica
here in the Netherlands.

01:10.000 --> 01:14.440
And so, you know, near the end
and last week, well, next week
we'll have, it'll be our last

01:14.440 --> 01:19.000
week and then there's Monday and
Tuesday because actually my last
show is on the 31st.

01:19.000 --> 01:21.000
So we've got all kinds of great
guest book and today we have

01:21.000 --> 01:25.180
had the Leofond de Chote, famous
disc jockey from Tholm,

01:25.180 --> 01:27.300
30 years ago, he was on the
pirate ships,

01:27.300 --> 01:29.980
which were operating on the
North Sea.

01:29.980 --> 01:31.860
He ever heard the story behind
that, it's great.

01:31.860 --> 01:33.620
Now, I have to look up the
history

01:33.620 --> 01:35.780
of the pirate radio broadcast
ships,

01:35.780 --> 01:39.100
radio caroline, radio Veronica,
radio and what sea

01:39.100 --> 01:41.700
international, it was a crazy
time.

01:41.700 --> 01:44.620
And he was one of the pirate
disc jockeys

01:44.620 --> 01:47.540
on one of those ships on the
international waters

01:47.540 --> 01:48.780
in the North Sea.

01:48.780 --> 01:51.360
And now he is the program
director,

01:51.360 --> 01:54.500
or the, yeah, he's the guy
that's responsible

01:54.500 --> 01:57.940
for the entire programming on
three

01:57.940 --> 02:00.180
of the top commercial television
stations.

02:00.180 --> 02:02.180
And it was really, you know, it
was very intense

02:02.180 --> 02:04.220
to do a show with, so I've also
worked with him.

02:04.220 --> 02:07.780
He directed a live show that I
did called Countdown,

02:07.780 --> 02:09.660
which was a new bass show.

02:09.660 --> 02:11.980
We had live guests and we had
people performing

02:11.980 --> 02:14.980
and videos and we did that for,
you know,

02:14.980 --> 02:16.500
the whole season.

02:16.500 --> 02:18.380
So we worked very intently
together

02:18.380 --> 02:19.980
and we've had our ups and downs.

02:19.980 --> 02:22.020
But it's always a really
intense,

02:22.500 --> 02:27.160
concentrate when you're doing it
to you with someone like that,
maybe a little bit more

02:27.160 --> 02:28.160
than normal.

02:28.160 --> 02:31.740
And I wasn't feeling too hot
today.

02:31.740 --> 02:35.340
So I was pretty wiped out after
the show.

02:35.340 --> 02:41.180
Had to go up to the flat screen
factory that I have a stake in
called GrandmasterView.

02:41.180 --> 02:43.500
If you, you know, you should
look it up,
www.GrandmasterView.com.

02:43.500 --> 02:49.940
It's pretty cool that we have
humongous flat screens at
unbelievably low prices.

02:49.940 --> 02:56.540
So in the, I got home and just
slept until like six or six,
thirty and had dinner and

02:56.540 --> 02:58.940
now we're just kind of hanging
out and about ready to go back
to bed.

02:58.940 --> 03:00.380
Such is the life of the morning.

03:00.380 --> 03:01.380
This kajake.

03:01.380 --> 03:06.860
And you can tell I'm a disc
jockey because I have all the
lore as well.

03:06.860 --> 03:14.860
Now about audio blogging, I
picked up a pretty cool post
yesterday from Harold Gilchrist.

03:14.860 --> 03:20.140
And once in a second, let me see
what the URL of his website is.

03:20.140 --> 03:24.020
I have to find that and put a
link to it.

03:24.000 --> 03:31.120
it because radio.weblogs.com
website. But if you just Google
it Harold Gilchrist, that's

03:31.120 --> 03:42.800
a G-I-L-C-H-R-I-S-T. And he
posted some interesting thoughts
in his own audio blog about,
well,

03:42.800 --> 03:49.520
what he calls the rise of audio
enclosure blogging. Of course,
that tickled me and I

03:49.520 --> 03:55.200
can just bring my mixer back to
the front here. I'm going to
play a little bit, a snippet.

03:55.200 --> 04:00.080
Listen to what he's saying.
There's a couple of things in
there that I like that he said.

04:00.080 --> 04:08.960
Check it out. This is Harold
Gilchrist and whereas I call
this source code, the daily
source code,

04:08.960 --> 04:16.160
if you will. Another audio
blogging example, which actually
I took example who is Dave
Weiner's

04:16.160 --> 04:21.200
morning coffee notes. And Harold
calls his audio blogs poolside.

04:21.200 --> 04:25.440
Anyway, but there's a lot of new
audio ging.

04:25.500 --> 04:31.900
big out there in a blog as fair.
I usually call the blog
oddspare. And that's good.
That's

04:31.900 --> 04:37.700
good news. So let's back up a
second. I said it's the rise of
the RSS enclosure audio

04:37.700 --> 04:44.660
blogger. And again, this is just
something I'll remember, but it
seems that if you look

04:44.660 --> 04:51.300
at the RSS feeds of Adam and
Dave, and I believe now Doug Kay
is doing it for Callie,

04:51.300 --> 05:02.780
let these audio posts are
accompanied by MP3s in the
feeds. And developers like Adam
Perry

05:02.780 --> 05:09.620
or writing scripts to take
advantage of that being there.
So follow this as good news. As

05:09.620 --> 05:17.140
an observer of audio blogging,
this is very healthy. And I look
forward to the, did the

05:17.140 --> 05:24.740
lip in the audio blogging
attention, get greater. And I've
been seeing it happen now.

05:24.740 --> 05:25.740
Okay.

05:25.740 --> 05:26.740
That's

05:27.000 --> 05:29.000
Some nice words there from
Harold

05:29.000 --> 05:32.200
About audio blogging

05:32.200 --> 05:37.280
I don't know what Harold does. I
gather from his post maybe he's
a consultant or

05:37.280 --> 05:41.840
He said it's his job to pay
attention to what's going on in
the blogosphere, so

05:41.840 --> 05:49.000
Something that one part that I
really like there is that he
said that developers like Adam
Curry. I'm like oh, yes

05:49.000 --> 05:52.080
Finally I'm starting to graduate
into the developer sphere

05:53.160 --> 05:58.920
And I wanted to stop and talk
about that for just a second
because I've created this thing
called iPod

05:58.920 --> 06:02.080
Which more people are using than
I then I anticipated

06:02.080 --> 06:08.440
Because now of course I'm
getting support questions and
all kinds of stuff that comes
along with developing something

06:08.440 --> 06:17.040
My intention with iPod was to
create something that
unfortunately I can only do it
for the Mac because that's all I
have and that's the only thing I
know how to

06:17.040 --> 06:20.120
program or develop on or

06:20.120 --> 06:22.560
integrate systems on

06:22.720 --> 06:24.880
Is

06:24.880 --> 06:28.480
That if you subscribe to an RSS
feed that has mp3

06:28.500 --> 06:34.220
closures like Harold explained
that it will automatically show
up on your iPod, really

06:34.220 --> 06:38.540
making your iPod an aggregate.

06:38.540 --> 06:43.500
And the intent behind it was
just to prove the concept, show
it says what I want it to

06:43.500 --> 06:49.620
be, this is how I want it to
work and hopefully other people
will catch on to it and with a

06:49.620 --> 06:53.820
little bit of luck developers
will start to make the same
functionality hopefully better

06:53.820 --> 07:00.700
in cross-platform development
environments.

07:00.700 --> 07:08.620
Steve Garfield who is a video
blogger, well he caught me on
one of the, probably the
Achilles

07:08.620 --> 07:11.100
heel of the iPod or application.

07:11.100 --> 07:15.660
Steve said, hey it's funny, I
removed all this content, didn't
want from the iPod or

07:15.660 --> 07:19.220
folder and it came back
magically.

07:19.220 --> 07:23.180
So there it is, I built an
application that doesn't really
have a database.

07:23.180 --> 07:29.140
So it dollars I guess it parks
the file system and uses that as
a database.

07:30.000 --> 07:35.080
enclosures are still in the
active RSS feed, it's going to
want to suck those in.

07:35.080 --> 07:40.200
So if you have something like,
see if you have a feed that
doesn't update very often,

07:40.200 --> 07:41.960
take IT conversations for
instance.

07:41.960 --> 07:47.040
There's probably 15 shows in
their feed and one is added
every other day or every three

07:47.040 --> 07:48.040
days.

07:48.040 --> 07:53.720
So if you remove five or six of
those files, only one of them or
two of them won't come

07:53.720 --> 07:54.720
back.

07:54.720 --> 07:57.760
On the contrary, this is another
observation I had.

07:57.760 --> 08:04.920
If you have something like
scripting news and Dave posts an
MP3 in his enclosure, if

08:04.920 --> 08:09.480
you don't, if your script isn't
running often enough, Dave will
out post your aggregator

08:09.480 --> 08:14.640
and that posting will actually
drop off the edge of the RSS
file and you'll miss it.

08:14.640 --> 08:18.040
So all kinds of things to be
considered there when it comes
to updating.

08:18.040 --> 08:27.160
Of course this is because we're
not, we're, we're not using or
it's difficult to use

08:27.160 --> 08:31.320
uh, pings effectively because of
course

08:31.500 --> 08:37.500
what you want is you want to be
notified that something's
updated and updated accordingly

08:37.500 --> 08:39.940
and not necessarily pull the
whole time.

08:39.940 --> 08:43.460
But that's a whole other
discussion.

08:43.460 --> 08:46.020
So anyway, check out
SteveBarfield.com.

08:46.020 --> 08:48.020
He blogged the Democratic
National Convention.

08:48.020 --> 08:49.020
He's really funny.

08:49.020 --> 08:53.740
I like the way he did it and I
can see he's learning his video
skills very, very quickly.

08:53.740 --> 08:57.980
I think guess he's doing most of
it on Final Cut Pro and the
iMovie, but it's good stuff.

08:57.980 --> 09:02.980
And once we figure out how we
use enclosures with audio, which
I think is a lot easier

09:02.980 --> 09:09.700
to do, I know is a lot easier to
develop for just because of the
sheer size of the files,

09:09.700 --> 09:16.020
I think we'll be able to apply a
lot of this to the video
blogging.

09:16.020 --> 09:20.500
Which really, in my mind, if we
say blogging in the context of
audio or video blogging,

09:20.500 --> 09:23.340
it's audio and video
distribution.

09:23.340 --> 09:29.800
And BitTorrent is a major part
of that and I hope to start
testing with that in the audio

09:29.800 --> 09:31.060
realm pretty soon.

09:31.060 --> 09:33.060
Um

09:33.000 --> 09:36.600
Okay, hope you can still stand
this sound of the crappy
microphone.

09:36.600 --> 09:44.280
Luckily, when I turn the mic
off, it doesn't crap out, and
I'm going to do so with a song.

09:44.280 --> 09:52.360
And I've been thinking, I don't
really have a theme for what I
played the song of the day
sounds, you know, it's like so
typical.

09:52.360 --> 09:55.720
But maybe today, I'll just be
honest about it.

09:55.720 --> 10:01.160
I'm really in the mood for
something really hokey, you
know, a 70s hokey song of the
day,

10:01.160 --> 10:04.480
Because we're For Shout-O-Pro
Nelly for Tahoe, Jewel, or...

10:07.500 --> 10:14.500
The 70s. This is Ricky Lee
Jones. It's Chuck and Ben Love.

10:14.500 --> 13:16.000
[ Music ]

13:16.000 --> 13:18.000
I'm doing the most of my life.

13:18.000 --> 13:19.000
I'm doing the most of my life.

13:19.000 --> 13:20.000

13:22.000 --> 13:23.000

the press of force wants to have
the story, so we're doing all
kinds of interviews and TV shows
next week.

I'm gonna fit some flying in,
all kinds of stuff going on.

13:55.500 --> 13:59.500
And of course, early to rise for
the radio show.

13:59.500 --> 14:02.500

wrap up of the week.
