WEBVTT 00:01.500 --> 00:17.500 Hi everybody, it is the source code for Friday, August 27th, 2004. 00:17.500 --> 00:20.500 Good afternoon or good morning or good evening, wherever you are, wherever you're listening 00:20.500 --> 00:25.500 to this, either you clicked on the link on the website or you might be subscribing to 00:25.500 --> 00:26.500 it through RSS. 00:26.500 --> 00:28.500 Thank you very much for subscribing. 00:29.500 --> 00:34.500 I've been thinking a lot about what we need to do with this show in particular 00:34.500 --> 00:38.500 because I'm even getting pretty bored of talking about myself. 00:38.500 --> 00:43.500 And then last night it hit me as I was trying to get to sleep around, I had to go to bed 00:43.500 --> 00:50.500 early, only two more days, Monday and Tuesday, the last two days of the morning show. 00:50.500 --> 00:57.500 And I was thinking that really what maybe at this audio blog or audio show can be about, 00:57.500 --> 01:00.500 maybe it can just be really for users and developers to bring them together. 01:00.500 --> 01:02.500 I mean, I'm... 01:03.000 --> 01:08.000 100% a user on all sides of the broadcast equation. 01:08.000 --> 01:11.000 I really like receiving stuff and I like making stuff, 01:11.000 --> 01:13.000 sending it out as well. 01:13.000 --> 01:16.000 And I think that so far we've been pretty successful at 01:16.000 --> 01:21.000 bringing together a number of developers to work on the 01:21.000 --> 01:24.000 iPod platform and get stuff working. 01:24.000 --> 01:28.000 And these may not even be developers per se. 01:28.000 --> 01:32.000 These could be just users who have a little more 01:32.000 --> 01:35.000 knowledge and experience at making the computers do things 01:35.000 --> 01:36.000 that they want them to do. 01:36.000 --> 01:39.000 So I'm going to see if at all we can make this a 01:39.000 --> 01:42.000 platform of its own for users and developers. 01:42.000 --> 01:46.000 And if you have a comment, obviously you can leave a 01:46.000 --> 01:48.000 comment on the web blog or send me an email 01:48.000 --> 01:49.000 adamantcurry.com. 01:49.000 --> 01:53.000 But maybe if you have something to contribute, you can 01:53.000 --> 01:55.000 create your own audio blog post. 01:55.000 --> 01:58.000 Send me a URL point to it and I'll pick it up. 01:58.000 --> 02:01.000 And then maybe we can share some of your ideas or 02:01.000 --> 02:04.000 questions or stuff that you're looking for or things that we 02:04.500 --> 02:08.500 need to make our computers do and how we can connect them all together through the internet. 02:08.500 --> 02:15.500 And I made a very important discovery yesterday, although the application wiretap for Mac OS 02:15.500 --> 02:20.500 10 had been pointed out to me a couple of times by people in my quest for getting the right 02:20.500 --> 02:25.500 audio software to record these with. 02:25.500 --> 02:29.500 The interface really, I had downloaded it, I think the interface just confused me so 02:29.500 --> 02:34.500 much. I didn't realize that it does exactly what I wanted to do, namely record all the 02:34.500 --> 02:40.500 audio that would normally come out of my speaker. I want that recorded digitally just by listening 02:40.500 --> 02:45.500 to the core audio bits or whatever it is. And that's exactly what wiretap does. I didn't 02:45.500 --> 02:53.500 think it did because when I looked at the preferences file and I think it's selected by default, 02:53.500 --> 02:57.500 it says save files to and then you give it a place to save to and then it says 02:57.500 --> 03:03.500 you can add prefix if you want, which can be the aim. And so when I clicked on the application 03:03.500 --> 03:05.500 name it seemed only to want to save files. 03:06.000 --> 03:10.000 save files with the application name that was at the front that was recording. 03:10.000 --> 03:14.000 So I figured well it only records one application at a time. 03:14.000 --> 03:23.000 And then yesterday while I was doing the source code, Cindy Camilleri came online on iChat 03:23.000 --> 03:28.000 and since she doesn't come online when usually when I am because we are in different, she's 03:28.000 --> 03:32.000 in New York and I'm in obviously in Belgium. 03:32.000 --> 03:38.000 And I always have iChat saying you know, Skipper is here which is her nickname, Skipper. 03:38.000 --> 03:45.000 And I heard the iChat alert that she was online while I was recording and I didn't think that 03:45.000 --> 03:46.000 you'd hear it. 03:46.000 --> 03:50.000 But then I listened back to the yesterday show, yep sure enough it was there. 03:50.000 --> 03:54.000 So I started experimenting and indeed it records everything. 03:54.000 --> 03:59.000 So instead of a mixing console now in front of me, I basically have all my applications 03:59.000 --> 04:04.000 open that I normally use to play bits of audio or use in an audio show like this. 04:04.000 --> 04:07.000 I have three quick time windows open. 04:07.500 --> 04:14.500 the Rachmaninoff remix which is, well, by default now become the tune for source code. 04:14.500 --> 04:18.500 I have a song of the day all queued up and also I have iTunes standing by in case I think 04:18.500 --> 04:22.500 of something I need to search and iTunes is great for that, just typing your search 04:22.500 --> 04:25.500 and immediately you get your results. 04:25.500 --> 04:32.500 Okay, before I go on to with more about what source code could be and a little update 04:32.500 --> 04:37.500 on iPodder, here's something that came in through my own iPodder, at least I'm using 04:37.500 --> 04:46.500 the get enclosure.pearl script and this came in from, what was this, blog digger 04:46.500 --> 04:51.500 and this is from their their media RSS file and apparently some German guy has 04:51.500 --> 04:57.500 written a book called blogs and his name is Don Alfonso and here is an audio 04:57.500 --> 05:01.500 show that was out there on the internet somewhere and I just want to play a 05:01.500 --> 05:04.500 little bit of it because it's kind of cool to hear Germans talk about web logs. 05:04.500 --> 05:08.500 15.40, you can hear the exact same thing in Germany. 05:09.000 --> 05:11.000 These texts are only available on the Internet. 05:11.000 --> 05:16.000 The book is a special logbook for the reader. 05:16.000 --> 05:21.000 It shows a new world and often also a radical point of view. 05:21.000 --> 05:23.000 The book is about blogs. 05:23.000 --> 05:28.000 The title of the book is also published in the beginning of September in the book of Schwarzkopf and Schwarzkopf. 05:28.000 --> 05:32.000 A book published by Don Alfonso and Kai... 05:32.000 --> 05:34.000 What's the name again? 05:34.000 --> 05:35.000 Don Alfonso? 05:35.000 --> 05:36.000 Kai-Pal. 05:36.000 --> 05:37.000 Exactly. 05:37.000 --> 05:38.000 Kai-Pal. 05:38.000 --> 05:39.000 The book is about blogs. 05:39.000 --> 05:45.000 16 webloggers write about text and form on the Internet and why they take over the Internet. 05:45.000 --> 05:46.000 I love it. 05:46.000 --> 05:49.000 Okay, so if you read German there's a book called Blogs. 05:49.000 --> 05:51.000 Blogs is out now in Germany. 05:51.000 --> 06:01.000 Okay, so about the source code, I'd like to see this turn into some form of a platform 06:01.000 --> 06:07.000 where users and developers can talk about how we can work together and make our collective lives better. 06:07.000 --> 06:10.000 I know one thing for sure that all of the... 06:10.500 --> 06:15.500 users I know, if they are using shareware and they use it consistently or if there's a registration 06:15.500 --> 06:16.500 fee. 06:16.500 --> 06:22.500 Most everyone always says the same thing, hey, I want to pay my dues and make sure people 06:22.500 --> 06:23.500 get paid. 06:23.500 --> 06:24.500 So I think there is a market there. 06:24.500 --> 06:30.500 It's probably on a per user basis, small license fees, but there's a lot of software to be 06:30.500 --> 06:38.500 made and if we can aggregate the ideas when it comes to per topic, obviously, then 06:38.500 --> 06:44.500 maybe we can get some economies of scale going like has happened with iPodder. 06:44.500 --> 06:50.500 So the history real quick, I created this script, an Apple script that takes a list of 06:50.500 --> 06:57.500 RSS feeds with MP3 enclosures, downloads those and contrary to popular belief, by the way, 06:57.500 --> 07:00.500 it does check to see if the file has already been downloaded. 07:00.500 --> 07:04.500 It doesn't download again unless the file has been removed because I use the curl 07:04.500 --> 07:07.500 minus F switch. 07:07.500 --> 07:11.500 It downloads them and then it transfers them to your iTunes, which if you have a 07:12.000 --> 07:18.000 iPod automatically syncs up to your iPod and in iTunes it actually creates a playlist which 07:18.000 --> 07:24.000 is equal or equivalent to the name of the channel that or the RSS feed that you're downloading. 07:24.000 --> 07:27.000 It takes all that information from the RSS feed. 07:27.000 --> 07:29.000 So a couple different versions showed up. 07:29.000 --> 07:35.000 We have a Pearl version which I'm actually using myself now and there is now a Windows 07:35.000 --> 07:39.000 version and apparently there's nothing extra to install, no bits that you need. 07:39.000 --> 07:44.000 So I'm going to just download the script and it's good to go. 07:44.000 --> 07:48.000 It's made by Peter Overbeke and I'm pretty sure he's Dutch. 07:48.000 --> 07:51.000 I haven't met him other than online. 07:51.000 --> 07:53.000 I've linked to him today on my web blog. 07:53.000 --> 08:00.000 It's opportunities.nl slash wordpress and he even sent me a ping about it because he's 08:00.000 --> 08:05.000 up to, he's done like three versions now and it's really ready to be tested. 08:05.000 --> 08:09.000 So please give Peter's script a test because if we can get this working for Windows, and 08:09.000 --> 08:13.000 by the way it works with the iTunes, the Windows version of iTunes. 08:13.500 --> 08:21.500 If we can get this working, then this concept of an iPod platform, meaning all mp3 devices, 08:21.500 --> 08:28.500 that can download stuff without you doing anything and just have shows ready for you, I think 08:28.500 --> 08:34.500 we're just on the verge of a huge potential being unleashed here. 08:34.500 --> 08:39.500 So again, if you could, and I've linked to it on my web blog, check out the iPodder 08:39.500 --> 08:44.500 for Windows and let's say get some feedback on how it's doing and if it's working and if it's 08:44.500 --> 08:49.500 performing. And then of course, the next step, which is needed for both platforms, both for 08:49.500 --> 08:56.500 Windows and the Mac, and for Linux and anything else that we can find that people have this desire, 08:56.500 --> 09:07.500 is getting the shows, the mp3s from iTunes to non-ipod mp3 players. And I have a feeling 09:07.500 --> 09:13.500 that's going to be a little bit more challenging. So just about at the end for today, yes, that was 09:13.500 --> 09:16.500 really long time. 09:15.000 --> 09:19.000 them. As I said, I'm trying to keep these around 15 minutes, which is, you know, just believing 09:19.000 --> 09:22.000 in Andy Warhol's vision. 09:22.000 --> 09:31.000 Today, 14 years ago, Patricia turned to me and said, we need to get this child up. And 09:31.000 --> 09:37.000 we knew that we were going to have a C-section way ahead of time because Christina was a 09:37.000 --> 09:42.000 breach. And we went to the hospital and Dr. Ladosi was there and Dr. Sony, the wife 09:42.000 --> 09:49.000 Sony with an eye at the hospital, St. Barnabas in New Jersey. And they said, okay, 09:49.000 --> 09:52.000 you know, we're gonna have this kid today. And it was around seven o'clock and it was 09:52.000 --> 09:59.000 a really great vibe in the operating room. And as the doctor literally picked 09:59.000 --> 10:05.000 Christina up out of Patricia, it was just an amazing sight. On the radio, it 10:05.000 --> 10:10.000 was Light FM was on and the Beatles in my life started to play. And it was 10:10.000 --> 10:15.000 something that we will never, ever forget. Now, of course, it would be easy for me 10:15.000 --> 10:16.000 to play. 10:16.500 --> 10:19.500 the Beatles right now and we'd all have an emotional moment. 10:19.500 --> 10:26.500 But since my daughter, Christina, turns 14 today, I figure I'd honor her since she does 10:26.500 --> 10:30.500 share the bar slash recording studio slash computer room with me. 10:30.500 --> 10:35.500 I'd honor her by playing the brand new song by her favorite band. 10:35.500 --> 10:39.500 And of course, I need to remind you that you do have to vote for them for the viewers' 10:39.500 --> 10:45.500 choice for the upcoming MTV Video Music Awards, which I believe are next Wednesday. 10:45.500 --> 10:47.500 They're all time favorite and I've met these guys. 10:47.500 --> 10:50.500 They are great, broke, bunch of musicians, very, very talented. 10:50.500 --> 10:51.500 Is Good Charlotte. 10:51.500 --> 10:53.500 Check out their new one, Predictable. 10:56.250 --> 12:38.750 [ Music ] 12:39.500 --> 12:41.500 I'm in the middle of a fight 12:41.500 --> 12:43.500 I'm so broken, I'm so cold 12:43.500 --> 12:45.500 I'm so hurt inside, I'm so scared 12:45.500 --> 12:48.500 I'm afraid of, I don't even know 12:48.500 --> 12:50.500 The story's been running out of here 12:50.500 --> 12:52.500 I'm searching for a way 12:52.500 --> 12:54.500 I'm dreaming you won't come back 12:54.500 --> 12:56.500 I want you in my story 12:56.500 --> 12:58.500 I'm ready to come and fight 13:01.250 --> 13:51.250 [ Music ] 13:55.500 --> 14:00.500 And believe me, I am just cherishing for as long as possible the fact that my daughter 14:00.500 --> 14:02.500 and I actually like a lot of the same music. 14:02.500 --> 14:05.500 So that's their new one. 14:05.500 --> 14:07.500 And be on the lookout for the CD. 14:07.500 --> 14:08.500 Right. 14:08.500 --> 14:10.500 Okay, that's it for the source code for today. 14:10.500 --> 14:13.500 Just within my 15 minute time limit weekend coming up. 14:13.500 --> 14:18.500 And then two more shows Monday and Tuesday, got a big party. 14:18.500 --> 14:19.500 And then my new life starts. 14:19.500 --> 14:24.500 And I can get to, well, the one thing I want to start doing is having the source code up 14:24.500 --> 14:31.500 and available every morning before, preferably before 8 o'clock East Coast time in the United 14:31.500 --> 14:32.500 States. 14:32.500 --> 14:35.500 All right, well, have yourselves a great weekend. 14:35.500 --> 14:37.500 Hopefully you'll check out the shows this Saturday and Sunday. 14:37.500 --> 14:40.500 If not, talk to you on Monday and have a good one. 14:40.500 --> 14:40.500 Bye-bye. 14:48.000 --> 15:12.000 The power of your intelligence. 15:12.000 --> 15:22.000 The power of your intelligence.
