00:00.000 --> 00:16.000
Once again, it's the Source
Code. Good evening from Belgium,
from Curry Castle, or good
afternoon,

00:16.000 --> 00:19.000
or good morning wherever you're
happy to be checking in from.
Thank you very much for

00:19.000 --> 00:24.000
tuning in for downloading the
Daily Source Code, always
available. The archives are

00:24.000 --> 00:31.000
DailySourceCode.com and of
course you can subscribe through
your RSS 2.0

00:31.000 --> 00:36.000
enclosure compatible news
reader. Man, that's a mouthful.
It's DailySourceCode.com

00:36.000 --> 00:44.000
slash RSS.XML. So the source
code for today, a lot of today
was spent driving.

00:44.000 --> 00:51.000
Patricia and I came back from
Amsterdam, her mouth operated
on, which is a never-ending
story.

00:51.000 --> 00:58.000
Not everyone has a stand at the
front of the perfect teeth line.

00:58.000 --> 01:00.000
Man, we've really done a lot of
work on her mouth.

01:01.500 --> 01:08.500
Anyway, so that was a little
less fun for her, but I had a
reason to be relaxed day, just

01:08.500 --> 01:12.500
chilling out, visited a couple
people while I was in the city.

01:12.500 --> 01:16.500
And I wanted to focus on a
couple of things on SourceCo
today.

01:16.500 --> 01:21.500
First of all, man, talk about
users and developers partying,
in this case not partying, maybe

01:21.500 --> 01:23.500
crying together.

01:23.500 --> 01:29.500
Murphy really hit hard on the
Genesis space capsule that crash
landed in the Utah

01:29.500 --> 01:30.500
Desert.

01:30.500 --> 01:31.500
I was just thinking that.

01:31.500 --> 01:32.500
It's so typical.

01:32.500 --> 01:36.500
You know, here they were, they
had worked this thing out with,
I guess it was Hollywood

01:36.500 --> 01:43.500
stunt helicopter pilots who were
going to string a net between
two helicopters to catch the

01:43.500 --> 01:50.500
capsule as it floated down on
its parachute and then to bring
it down to an ultimate

01:50.500 --> 01:51.500
soft landing.

01:51.500 --> 01:56.500
And of course, everyone was
really concentrated on the
helicopter pilots and, you know,
were

01:56.500 --> 02:01.500
they going to be able to catch
this disc falling out of space
and how fast would it be going?

02:01.500 --> 02:02.500
And that also has potential.

02:03.000 --> 02:07.000
dangers you know if you have
just imagine two helicopters
with a net strung between it if

02:07.000 --> 02:13.000
something hits it too hard it's
going to pull those helicopters
together and of course then
there's

02:13.000 --> 02:19.000
all kinds of stuff you don't
copter pilot like sheets and
wires known as a parachute but
then

02:19.000 --> 02:25.000
of course I was concentrating on
that and no one really probably
thought you know hey maybe the

02:25.000 --> 02:31.000
parachute would deploy you know
that's technology that we've had
for for 70 years and no one
figured

02:31.000 --> 02:36.000
that would fail so it's really
sad that that happened and I
guess they can't get any samples

02:36.000 --> 02:42.000
or everything's useless because
of the contamination and the
disc really hit hard I don't
know if you've

02:42.000 --> 02:48.000
seen a picture I'll be sure to
link to one on my blog but man
that was rough for them.

02:50.000 --> 02:54.000
Let's talk briefly about iPodder
I think yesterday I mentioned
that there was a

02:54.000 --> 03:01.000
cocoa version on the way as well
as I guess yet another windows
version and there was just

03:01.000 --> 03:04.000
Peter just updated the windows
version.

03:04.500 --> 03:09.500
today very cool now it supports
apples aac files it
automatically detects whether

03:09.500 --> 03:13.500
you're running Windows Media
Player or iTunes and basically
does everything else

03:13.500 --> 03:20.500
for you so that's perfect all we
need to do now and now put my
user hat on is we

03:20.500 --> 03:25.500
need to create really one-click
installers this is something
that is

03:25.500 --> 03:29.500
often you know just added the
very last moment of the process
I've noticed

03:30.500 --> 03:35.500
even on my own iPod or script
you still have to download the
XML to tools or

03:35.500 --> 03:40.500
yeah that's what I call XML to
tools and you have to install
that into your

03:40.500 --> 03:45.500
into your library folders so
that's that's a real pain and
really that also

03:45.500 --> 03:50.500
happened by itself so I'm hoping
now that everyone who's made a
version of

03:50.500 --> 03:55.500
iPod and I'll make concerted
effort myself this weekend to
create an

03:55.500 --> 03:59.500
installer so basically you just
double click on something and it
installs

03:59.500 --> 04:05.500
everything now here's the final
the final piece that no one has
really done

04:06.000 --> 04:09.000
And I think I know how I can get
it to work on the Mac,

04:09.000 --> 04:11.000
is we have to have a cron job
running.

04:11.000 --> 04:14.000
We have to have a timed
operation of iPod,

04:14.000 --> 04:15.000
or preferably at night.

04:15.000 --> 04:18.000
Or see, I have mine set up at
four times a day, which

04:18.000 --> 04:22.000
actually is too much, probably,
because at a certain point,

04:22.000 --> 04:25.000
during the afternoon, then the
script will kick in

04:25.000 --> 04:27.000
through a timed cron job.

04:27.000 --> 04:30.000
And it does really sometimes
noticeably slow down

04:30.000 --> 04:31.000
the performance.

04:31.000 --> 04:34.000
Well, certainly the performance
of my internet connection,

04:34.000 --> 04:37.000
depending on how big the files
are that I'm sucking in.

04:37.000 --> 04:39.000
So somehow I need to make that
automatic as well.

04:39.000 --> 04:43.000
And of course, we have to have
an uninstall set up,

04:43.000 --> 04:46.000
or if someone wants to change
the times when it runs,

04:46.000 --> 04:47.000
that would be perfect.

04:47.000 --> 04:49.000
So that's the final thing we
need.

04:49.000 --> 04:53.000
And then I believe that we have
the receiving side all set.

04:53.000 --> 04:55.000
And then I'm going to start
talking about how we move this

04:55.000 --> 04:56.000
a little bit further.

04:56.000 --> 04:58.000
I'm not quite sure what we need
to do first.

04:58.000 --> 05:03.000
Do we need to work on the
publishing side, which

05:03.000 --> 05:07.000
could be a much bigger project
than the iPod?

05:07.500 --> 05:18.500
receiving side or do we want to
perhaps look at the distribution
side which may even be

05:18.500 --> 05:25.500
smarter because my feeling is
that we might want to look at
instead of uploading mp3 files

05:25.500 --> 05:31.500
to servers at integrating
BitTorrent into this. I've
noticed that BitTorrent works
really

05:31.500 --> 05:34.500
well when something's fresh and
everybody wants to have it
because everyone's out

05:34.500 --> 05:38.500
there clicking the download link
of course it's always going to
be one link

05:38.500 --> 05:42.500
right there's always gonna be
your your your first node which
presumably will be

05:42.500 --> 05:46.500
your own computer and then the
minute other people hit lock on
then you have

05:46.500 --> 05:49.500
more peers to connect to and
thus more people can download it
and that really

05:49.500 --> 05:54.500
works that was it they call file
swarming technology it I think
it

05:54.500 --> 05:57.500
really works well with the with
stuff that's fresh and new so it
would

05:57.500 --> 06:02.500
probably be perfect for programs
like this so then of course we'd
run up and

06:02.500 --> 06:07.500
do a couple other things you
know so

06:07.500 --> 06:10.500
well you can imagine

06:09.000 --> 06:11.000
and all the things we're going
to run into.

06:11.000 --> 06:16.000
But I do believe that BitTorrent
has a spot in this iPod
platform.

06:16.000 --> 06:25.000
And of course, if we can
successfully implement the iPod
system of bringing in files,

06:25.000 --> 06:31.000
bringing in enclosed files, and
then instead of bringing them in
from a web server somewhere,

06:31.000 --> 06:36.000
actually have it work through
BitTorrent, I think we'll be
setting ourselves up perfectly
for the next step,

06:36.000 --> 06:41.000
which is quite a ways off, I
think, but that will be,
eventually will be video,

06:41.000 --> 06:46.000
and we'll probably do it the
same way and BitTorrent seems to
work great with big video files.

06:46.000 --> 06:49.000
So that's just some stuff to
think about.

06:49.000 --> 06:55.000
Because one thing we're missing,
we're missing good audio feeds
with enclosures.

06:55.000 --> 06:59.000
I mean, they are out there.
There's lots of people doing
audio blog posts,

06:59.000 --> 07:03.000
but just not enough for
integrating them into their RSS
feeds.

07:03.000 --> 07:08.000
So that's the other side of me
thinking maybe we need to work
on some kind of publishing
system,

07:08.000 --> 07:11.000
but just food for thought, I
hope.

07:10.500 --> 07:14.500
by Monday to have had enough
feedback from folks and figure
out which way we

07:14.500 --> 07:22.500
should go with this. I did catch
a couple interesting bits across
the net on the

07:22.500 --> 07:28.500
iPod or I love the blog digger
MP3 feed. It brings in just it's
the most

07:28.500 --> 07:33.500
serendipitous part of my
experience is whatever that
brings in and I actually

07:33.500 --> 07:39.500
caught this one guy before and
this is his latest, well I guess
it's

07:39.500 --> 07:47.500
kind of like an advertisement in
the form of a audio blog post
and he's got a

07:47.500 --> 07:50.500
business model and I think you
should listen to it only lasts
about a minute or

07:50.500 --> 07:53.500
so but you know get your pen and
paper handy because you're gonna
want to

07:53.500 --> 07:57.500
write down these URLs. Check out
this Internet Guru. Welcome to
volume 2

07:57.500 --> 08:02.500
number 36 September 7th 2004
edition of current awareness
happening John the

08:02.500 --> 08:06.500
Internet. Your truly Marcus P.
Zellman. This week's edition
will be discussing

08:06.500 --> 08:11.500
RSS Rich Sight Services. It's a
site that

08:12.000 --> 08:14.000
we all need to take a look at.

08:14.000 --> 08:18.000
It is a categorization registry
of library services

08:18.000 --> 08:23.000
that are delivered or provided
to RSS slash XML

08:23.000 --> 08:26.000
to be delivered to Adam or other
types of web feeds.

08:26.000 --> 08:30.000
RSS is the initialism for RDF
site summary,

08:30.000 --> 08:33.000
rich site summary, really simple
syndication,

08:33.000 --> 08:36.000
depending upon which
nomenclature you are using.

08:36.000 --> 08:38.000
And in general, for each entry,

08:38.000 --> 08:41.000
the home institutional library
is listed

08:41.000 --> 08:43.000
and is hot linked entry for the
item.

08:43.000 --> 08:45.000
When available, a link of the
RSS feed

08:45.000 --> 08:50.000
or an associated information
page is also provided.

08:50.000 --> 08:54.000

09:05.000 --> 09:08.000
This is a terrific site when it
comes to looking

09:08.000 --> 09:11.000
at various rich site services,

09:11.000 --> 09:13.000
it has information about
administrative and...

09:13.500 --> 09:19.500
announcements, acquisitions,
cataloging, circulation,
collection development,
databases, instruction,

09:19.500 --> 09:26.500
interlibrary loan, internet
resources guides, new books, new
journal issues, news, online

09:26.500 --> 09:33.500
public access catalogs,
reference services, table of
contents, and a general
bibliography.

09:33.500 --> 09:34.500
Greats align.

09:34.500 --> 09:39.500
You need to take time to
bookmark this site and go
through and take a look at all
of

09:39.500 --> 09:43.500
the great resources that are
available from this site.

09:43.500 --> 09:44.500
Now, give us the URL.

09:44.500 --> 09:49.500
This has been volume 2, number
36, September 7, 2004, edition
of Current Awareness Happens

09:49.500 --> 09:50.500
on the Internet.

09:50.500 --> 09:51.500
Current Awareness Happens on the
Internet.

09:51.500 --> 09:57.500
Spotted by eCurrent Awareness
Resources 2004-5, offering you a
41-page business intelligence

09:57.500 --> 09:58.500
research.

09:58.500 --> 10:00.500
And he just keeps going on and
on and on and on.

10:00.500 --> 10:03.500
But interesting use of audio
blogs.

10:03.500 --> 10:06.500
I wonder if he's making any
money that way.

10:06.500 --> 10:10.500
Maybe one of these days I'll be
lucky enough to have him on as a
guest.

10:10.500 --> 10:11.500
Something else I picked up.

10:11.500 --> 10:14.500
Now, I remember that you'll
remember...

10:15.000 --> 10:24.000
if you're old enough, the old CB
radio days, they used to be all
kinds of parody songs and

10:24.000 --> 10:27.000
joke songs about CB users.

10:27.000 --> 10:33.000
And of course, when it comes to
weblogs, there's just too many
analogies to go into right now

10:33.000 --> 10:36.000
and too many parallels between
weblogs and CB radio.

10:36.000 --> 10:38.000
And it's been mentioned many
times before.

10:38.000 --> 10:43.000
There's some obvious benefits,
of course, with the internet and
weblogs.

10:43.000 --> 10:49.000
But it's about that time in the
life cycle of something that
hits pop culture as hard as

10:49.000 --> 10:53.000
weblogs have for the parody
songs to come out.

10:53.000 --> 10:56.000
And this is actually not even
that bad a song if you just take
it at its merit.

10:56.000 --> 10:59.000
Again, picked up through the
blog digger media feed.

10:59.000 --> 11:02.000
Now this is something that
apparently has been circulating
around the internet because

11:02.000 --> 11:07.000
I did a Google search on it and
came up with, I even came up
with remixes of the

11:07.000 --> 11:09.000
song, of course, typical.

11:16.250 --> 13:23.750
[ Music ]

13:28.500 --> 13:35.500
not your blog. Well, it's
actually my mic up a little bit.
It sucks. Hold on. Okay. Yeah,

13:35.500 --> 13:40.500
not too bad. I kind of like that
song. This is not your blog
available all around the

13:40.500 --> 13:46.500
internet now also in a remix
version. A couple more things I
want to talk about just bopping

13:46.500 --> 13:51.500
around from topic to topic
today. I picked up on a story I
think Dave Weiner pointed

13:51.500 --> 13:59.500
into it about Microsoft MSN
radio. This is really
interesting. Apparently what MSN

13:59.500 --> 14:05.500
is doing is they started up a
new service where they purchase
the playlist information

14:05.500 --> 14:11.500
of see in total. I think they
have probably 1200 radio
stations in the States, Canada

14:11.500 --> 14:15.500
and Puerto Rico. Now you can get
these you can buy these from
from Nielsson broadcast

14:15.500 --> 14:22.500
data systems and radio stations
subscribe to these services all
the time all kinds of

14:22.500 --> 14:25.500
services so they can see what
the competition is doing
basically so it's

14:25.500 --> 14:28.500
very it's very normal to
subscribe to this. But what
they're doing is they're

14:28.500 --> 14:31.500
taking

14:30.000 --> 14:35.000
the playlist, not necessarily
the format. I'm not quite sure
if they're onto that.

14:35.000 --> 14:40.000
The format as we discussed
before is what type of song you
play at what part of

14:40.000 --> 14:45.000
the hour or what part of the
day. In fact radio is split up
into day parts.

14:45.000 --> 14:50.000
And they're replicating or
they're attempting to replicate
each radio

14:50.000 --> 14:54.000
station. Let's see, there's a
couple of examples here. None of
them that I can

14:55.000 --> 15:02.000
have heard of. But apparently,
let's see, Oakland San Jose,
KYLD, Wild 94,

15:02.000 --> 15:11.000
Alice 97.3, K101, Star 101,
which is Star 101.3. So you have
the exact same

15:11.000 --> 15:16.000
music mix, presumably in more or
less the same order. They're
even claiming with

15:16.000 --> 15:20.000
less repetition. Think about how
they're really trying to make
radio here.

15:20.000 --> 15:26.000
Only don't have the commercials,
the weather or the local
community affairs,

15:26.000 --> 15:29.000
and of course the disc jockeys.
And this is supposed to be like
this huge

15:29.000 --> 15:31.000
benefit. And I'm thinking, why?

15:31.500 --> 15:36.500
call this MSN radio. They
clearly do not have a... They
have... There is clueless about
what

15:36.500 --> 15:43.500
radio is about as clear channel
is from what I'm reading here.
And there's one program

15:43.500 --> 15:51.500
director who was quoted in this
piece who actually hit it right
on the head. Here we go. This

15:51.500 --> 16:00.500
is from John Aller's program
director at KCNLFM, known there
as Channel 104.9. He said, and

16:00.500 --> 16:05.500
I quote, I appreciate them
calling attention to us, to
those who may not

16:05.500 --> 16:09.500
have discovered us yet, Aller
said. But he added that if
you're trying to take away

16:09.500 --> 16:13.500
our listeners, the programming
that makes a station's
personality and connection

16:13.500 --> 16:18.500
to listeners can't be duplicated
by a computer. Hallelujah. That
is right on the

16:18.500 --> 16:23.500
money and absolutely true. Hold
on. Let me just crank up the mic
here a little

16:23.500 --> 16:31.500
bit. And the reason for that is
that radio is not just about
records. Yes,

16:31.500 --> 16:34.500
that's a very important part of
it.

16:33.000 --> 16:38.000
important part of it and that's
going to bring in the age group
of listeners that you're

16:38.000 --> 16:39.000
looking for.

16:39.000 --> 16:42.000
But radio is it and I think we
discussed that here before as
well.

16:42.000 --> 16:48.000
Just like this is actually a
kind of because you relate to an
audience and you talk about

16:48.000 --> 16:52.000
things that your audience is
interested in and usually that's
a geographic audience

16:52.000 --> 16:55.000
with radio because you only can
broadcast so far with your
signal.

16:55.000 --> 16:58.000
So you're going to talk about
local weather, local things that
are going on.

16:58.000 --> 17:05.000
You're going to have times to
like local promotions into local
retail, into concerts.

17:05.000 --> 17:06.000
I mean, there's all this stuff.

17:06.000 --> 17:11.000
It's not just about, you know,
Madonna's in town and we have
the concert.

17:11.000 --> 17:13.000
We're going to promote that and
we're going to play her records.

17:13.000 --> 17:16.000
That's just not what it's all
about.

17:16.000 --> 17:20.000
And it's certainly not only
about we're going to play the
best of the 70s, 80s

17:20.000 --> 17:23.000
and 90s without the DJs and all
of a sudden that's going to
work.

17:23.000 --> 17:31.000
People really do like and need
some type of human element to a
radio station.

17:31.000 --> 17:31.000
Sure.

17:31.000 --> 17:34.000
Non-stop jukeboxes work still
work.

17:34.500 --> 17:38.500
very well. And there are many
radio formats where there's a
hell of a lot more music and

17:38.500 --> 17:44.500
less talk. But still, it is even
if it's the local weather
report, it's absolutely critical

17:44.500 --> 17:50.500
to the success of any radio
station. So I'm not quite sure
what MSN is trying to do.

17:50.500 --> 17:55.500
I don't think that they're
liable for anything, because I
still don't think that they can

17:55.500 --> 18:00.500
really copy the format unless
they've got some radio guy
working with them on this

18:00.500 --> 18:04.500
who knows what he's doing.
Because it's not easy to copy a
format.

18:04.500 --> 18:09.500
And formats are also something
that kind of evolve on the fly.
You'll often see a

18:09.500 --> 18:14.500
program director or a music
director or sometimes even a
general manager just

18:14.500 --> 18:18.500
going into the computer. The
system they use, almost every
radio station he uses

18:18.500 --> 18:23.500
is called selector and will be
manually changing things on the
fly. And all the

18:23.500 --> 18:26.500
lists are always checked. And
it's something that really comes
from the

18:26.500 --> 18:31.500
gut more than just from a
computer, at least on radio
stations that I think

18:31.500 --> 18:36.500
are really good and usually the
ones doing well.

18:36.000 --> 18:38.000
see that type of hands-on
approach.

18:38.000 --> 18:41.000
So interesting that they're
trying to do that, but again, I
think quite clueless.

18:41.000 --> 18:47.000
And if they're trying to market
that as radio, then they're
making a marketing mistake.

18:47.000 --> 18:55.000
Speaking of marketing, we know
as, what was that, we heard the
interview with Hallie and

18:55.000 --> 18:57.000
David Weinberg.

18:57.000 --> 19:02.000
I think it was, yeah, we said
that the language of politics
today is the language

19:02.000 --> 19:03.000
of marketing.

19:03.000 --> 19:05.000
And there's another bit of
marketing out there.

19:05.000 --> 19:08.000
I don't know if you've seen it
in the states yet.

19:08.000 --> 19:13.000
Probably it certainly, it's not
airing anywhere in Europe unless
you happen to

19:13.000 --> 19:15.000
catch it on a news broadcast.

19:15.000 --> 19:20.000
This is an advertisement which
was paid for by Texans for
Truth.

19:20.000 --> 19:24.000
And it's very short and there's
only two captions in it, two
titles.

19:24.000 --> 19:28.000
I'll read those as they come on
the screen.

19:28.000 --> 19:37.000
And this is basically the
counter-attack of John Kerry's

19:37.500 --> 19:45.500
about the truth or whatever the
swift boat controversy of his
tours in Vietnam and now

19:45.500 --> 19:53.500
they're counter attacking on
George Bush about him possibly
having been AWOL himself.

19:53.500 --> 19:56.500
So I'll read the captions off
and you can listen to the audio.

19:56.500 --> 19:58.500
Was George Bush AWOL in Alabama?

19:58.500 --> 20:02.500
George Bush was up and say I
served in the 180th Civil Air
National Guard in Montgomery,

20:02.500 --> 20:03.500
Alabama.

20:03.500 --> 20:04.500
Really.

20:04.500 --> 20:09.500
I mean that was my unit and I
don't remember seeing you there.

20:09.500 --> 20:13.500
So I call friends and I did you
know that George served in our
unit?

20:13.500 --> 20:15.500
No, I never saw him there.

20:15.500 --> 20:16.500
Tell us whom you serve with Mr.
President.

20:16.500 --> 20:21.500
It would be impossible to be
unseen in a unit of that size.

20:21.500 --> 20:23.500
George Bush has some explaining
to do.

20:23.500 --> 20:26.500
There you go.

20:26.500 --> 20:31.500
So it ends with George Bush has
some explaining to do and that
was, let me see, I can get

20:31.500 --> 20:34.500
that title for you and see who
that was who was speaking.

20:34.500 --> 20:38.500
Lieutenant Colonel Robert Mince
of the 187th Tech.

20:39.000 --> 20:42.000
a practical squadron Air
National Guard in Montgomery,
Alabama.

20:42.000 --> 20:47.000
And he's claiming that he can't
remember any George Bush and he
called a couple other

20:47.000 --> 20:48.000
people neither could they.

20:48.000 --> 20:52.000
So interesting bit of marketing.

20:52.000 --> 20:56.000
Has nothing to do with politics
or the future of the United
States?

20:56.000 --> 20:57.000
I guess.

20:57.000 --> 21:04.000
I think there's other more
important things we'll be
talking about, that's for sure.

21:04.000 --> 21:07.000
Briefly on audiobooks, one of my
favorite topics.

21:07.000 --> 21:09.000
And here's something that I did
not know.

21:09.000 --> 21:16.000
You probably heard of the
Gutenberg Project, which you can
get to through Gutenberg.net.

21:16.000 --> 21:22.000
This is a collection of all
literary works that have come
into the public domain.

21:22.000 --> 21:27.000
So you can basically download
the text and many are an HTML
version and some even in

21:27.000 --> 21:36.000
PDFs of some excellent,
excellent books that you can
just download and put on your

21:36.000 --> 21:39.000
ebook reader or you can read it
right off your screen.

21:39.000 --> 21:40.000
I've seen...

21:40.500 --> 21:45.500
Lots of times I've seen people
who have used text to speech
processing to try and kind of
make an audio book into it.

21:45.500 --> 21:49.500
I've tried that myself a couple
times and it just it just
doesn't work.

21:49.500 --> 21:54.500
I mean you can't get the nuance,
the human feeling, the emotion
depending on what kind of book
or if it's a novel or

21:55.500 --> 21:57.500
biography you need a different
approach and

21:58.500 --> 22:03.500
computerize the speech
synthesis, at least on the level
that it's available to users
today.

22:03.500 --> 22:07.500
It's nowhere near what it needs
to be. But I actually found

22:07.500 --> 22:10.500
that there are also some folks
out there who were

22:11.500 --> 22:15.500
making these audio books free of
charge and uploading them to the
Gutenberg project.

22:15.500 --> 22:19.500
And I want to give you two
examples just to give you an
idea of the quality

22:19.500 --> 22:26.500
because the voice on the first
one that I have no idea if this
is homegrown or if this is maybe
something a little bit

22:27.500 --> 22:33.500
a little more professional.
Check out this reading. I'll
just give you a little piece of
Sherlock Holmes.

22:33.500 --> 22:35.500
The Adventures of Sherlock
Holmes.

22:36.500 --> 22:38.500
by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

22:40.500 --> 22:42.500
A scandal in

22:42.000 --> 22:42.000
email.

22:45.000 --> 22:53.000
Sherlock Holmes. She is always
the woman. I have seldom heard
him mention her under any

22:53.000 --> 22:59.000
other name. In his eyes, she
eclipses and predominates the
whole of her say.

22:59.000 --> 23:03.000
So that's just a little bit of
Sherlock Holmes. I was blown
away by that speaker and I've

23:03.000 --> 23:07.000
actually downloaded this. It's
on my iPod and I will get to it
because it sounds like

23:07.000 --> 23:14.000
that would be a pretty relaxing
listen to Sherlock Holmes book.
And I found that original

23:14.000 --> 23:18.000
audio recording. It's just all
kinds of audio stuff here today.
And this also came

23:18.000 --> 23:28.000
off of Gutenberg. This is an
actual recording of Watson
discussing the

23:28.000 --> 23:34.000
events that unfolded and how the
telephone was discovered, which
of course was

23:34.000 --> 23:40.000
done by Alexander Graham Bell.
But listen to a bit of this
recording. You should

23:40.000 --> 23:43.000
listen to the whole thing. It's
about six minutes long. It's a
fabulous piece

23:43.000 --> 23:48.000
of history. And the recording
is, well, needless to say...

23:46.500 --> 23:50.500
shit listen to the scratches

24:16.500 --> 24:20.500
telegraph netizens over one wire
at the same time

24:21.500 --> 24:24.500
so just a bit there of the birth
of the telephone and

24:25.500 --> 24:29.500
again, both of these can be
downloaded for free and they're
completely

24:30.500 --> 24:32.500
royalty and copyright free from

24:32.500 --> 24:37.500
Gutenberg net excellent resource
on the internet and one of these
days

24:37.500 --> 24:42.500
I am just gonna have to you know
break down and actually record
an entire audiobook

24:42.500 --> 24:46.500
I've been looking at a couple
different ones that are read as
a kid

24:48.000 --> 24:52.000
And I don't know, I just have to
have got a, I wonder how long it
would take.

24:52.000 --> 24:59.000
You know, I remember we did,
there was a collaborative audio
book effort that was done
several, like,

24:59.000 --> 25:00.000
well everyone took a chapter.

25:00.000 --> 25:08.000
There were 13 or 14 different
bloggers that all read a chapter
of Lawrence Lessig's book.

25:08.000 --> 25:11.000
Maybe that would be fun to start
that up again or as I said,
maybe I'll just do

25:11.000 --> 25:12.000
one myself.

25:12.000 --> 25:15.000
Okay, let's see, we're 25
minutes.

25:15.000 --> 25:19.000
Why don't we just round off
today's source code with a song.

25:19.000 --> 25:23.000
This is one that I picked out of
the iTunes library.

25:23.000 --> 25:25.000
Never can get enough Joe Walsh.

25:25.000 --> 25:26.000
Rocky Mountain Way.

25:28.750 --> 30:15.000
[ Music ]

30:15.000 --> 30:31.000
Joe Walsh, Rocky Mountain Way on
the source code.

30:31.000 --> 30:34.000
And I was just thinking, I
apologize if I sound a little
discombobulated.

30:34.000 --> 30:37.000
It's quarter to 11 here and I'm
just tired.

30:37.000 --> 30:40.000
I got to do these things
earlier, that's for sure.

30:40.000 --> 30:44.000
What we didn't talk about today
was something that's pretty high
in everybody's list

30:44.000 --> 30:52.000
who's been responding, namely
naming conventions for the
source code.

30:52.000 --> 30:55.000
So should it be year, month,
day?

30:55.000 --> 30:56.000
Should it be day, month, year?

30:56.000 --> 31:01.000
Should it be daily source code
or just DSC?

31:01.000 --> 31:06.000
All different kinds of opinions
based upon.

31:06.000 --> 31:10.000
I think probably different user
experiences, different MP3
devices.

31:10.000 --> 31:15.000
So I'm still kind of trying to
work that out in my own little
world here.

31:15.000 --> 31:16.000
So for now I'm going to keep the
naming.

31:16.500 --> 31:17.500
convention as it is.

31:17.500 --> 31:20.500
And I'm going to leave you with
that for the source code for
today.

31:20.500 --> 31:25.500
Of course, as always, if you'd
like to respond, you can send
email to adamantcurry.com or

31:25.500 --> 31:31.500
just leave a comment on my web
blog, which is located at
live.curry.com.

31:31.500 --> 31:36.500
This was the source code for
today, September 8th, 2004.

31:36.500 --> 31:40.500
And we'll see you tomorrow.

31:40.500 --> 31:41.500
Bye-bye.
