WEBVTT

00:07.500 --> 00:12.500
Well, howdy everybody.

00:12.500 --> 00:15.500
Your source code coming to you
from Curry Castle in Belgium.

00:15.500 --> 00:16.500
My name's Adam Carr...

00:30.000 --> 00:33.000
I'll say Thursday the 23rd
because it's 14th.

00:43.500 --> 00:45.500
A PAID SPEAKING

00:52.500 --> 00:55.500
of the radio show, the morning
radio show stopping.

01:09.000 --> 01:11.000
I knew that I wanted to get out
of the house.

01:11.000 --> 01:14.000
And also, you know, that's for
the best.

01:16.500 --> 01:24.500
Any regular stuff is for gas or
should I say for a one jet fuel
to be precise

01:24.500 --> 01:27.500
So that was at the World Trade
Center in Rotterdam and

01:30.000 --> 01:34.000
If you've ever been to
Rotterdam, it is such a
beautiful city, a city that was
completely

01:34.000 --> 01:38.000
utterly destroyed and flattened
in the Second World War.

01:39.000 --> 01:43.000
There was just nothing left over
and they rebuilt the entire city
and they actually called it

01:52.500 --> 01:54.500
And they call it Manhattan on
the mass.

01:54.500 --> 01:55.500
So Manhattan of the mass.

01:55.500 --> 02:00.500
And it does look very much like,
a bit like Manhattan with the
big beautiful buildings

02:00.500 --> 02:03.500
and any of the harbor in the
distance.

02:03.500 --> 02:03.500
They've got the Europe.

02:09.000 --> 02:13.000
and seeing that, because I don't
get to Rotterdam very often.

02:13.000 --> 02:16.000
So it was a speaking engagement
for,

02:16.000 --> 02:21.000
this was for insurance agents of
Stuttel-Tedon-Persakeningen,

02:22.000 --> 02:24.000
so that's the name of the
insurance company,

02:24.000 --> 02:26.000
and it's about 400 people there,

02:26.000 --> 02:30.000
and they split off into
individual parallel sessions

02:30.000 --> 02:33.000
around 230, and that's where I
did a session.

02:39.000 --> 02:45.000
there and do your thing and talk
and I rarely use a projector or
slides although I try to

02:45.000 --> 02:50.000
put some multimedia stuff into
it. If I use a slide on the
screen it'll be like a home

02:50.000 --> 02:50.000
movie or

02:52.500 --> 02:57.500
to accentuate a point. It's
never text. I can't stand it
when you've got someone speaking

02:57.500 --> 03:03.500
to you and then you're being
distracted by text. And of
course, this is quite the
opposite

03:03.500 --> 03:11.500
from what BloggerCon will be,
which is November 6th in Palo
Alto. This is the third
BloggerCon

03:11.500 --> 03:18.500
and you can hear more about that
on Trade Secrets, which is the
brand new show on the podcasting

03:18.500 --> 03:23.500
platform that I do with Dave
Weiner, Dave from Scripting
News, Scripting.com.

03:25.500 --> 03:34.500
And we did another show today.
We had agreed to do one at 8am
his time and somehow, and it's

03:34.500 --> 03:41.500
probably my fault. You just get
so confused after a while with
time zones and getting up early
and

03:41.500 --> 03:46.500
then my whole rhythm is still
out of whack from getting up at
3.30 every single morning for a
year.

03:48.000 --> 03:54.000
Somehow I'd messed it up and
David had been waiting for me to
dial into him 24 hours ago.

03:54.000 --> 03:59.000
Luckily he didn't wait for the
full 24 hours, he did find
something else to do.

03:59.000 --> 04:01.000
So we finally hooked up and we
recorded a show today.

04:01.000 --> 04:04.000
I was much happier with the
quality of the sound.

04:04.000 --> 04:07.000
Now in fact, even Dave sounds a
little bit too loud.

04:07.000 --> 04:13.000
I'd listen back to the show, I'd
check that out after we recorded
it.

04:13.000 --> 04:16.000
And his levels may be a little
bit too hot compared to mine
now.

04:16.000 --> 04:20.000
But it worked pretty well and I
was able to route audio back to
him.

04:20.000 --> 04:25.000
Although I think I mis-routed
something and sent something
back so hard through an audio
loop

04:25.000 --> 04:32.000
that it probably made the song
of the day on Trade Secrets
sound like it was tripled or
quadrupled.

04:32.000 --> 04:37.000
Oh well, luckily it was a remix
of Sting's Russians anyway.

04:37.000 --> 04:41.000
So no real harm done probably.

04:41.000 --> 04:46.000
Oh boy, I'm just totally
wrecked. I'm so tired from doing
all that

04:46.000 --> 04:49.000
because I didn't get back until
QoRt-ed.

04:49.500 --> 04:54.500
6 and I you know so that was 9
a.m Seattle time so I quickly
through the laptop to get

04:54.500 --> 04:57.500
I got everything ready and set
it all up.

04:57.500 --> 04:59.500
Oh what am I getting here a
warning?

04:59.500 --> 05:00.500
Oh no.

05:00.500 --> 05:01.500
Oh this is nice.

05:01.500 --> 05:03.500
Folder actions alert.

05:03.500 --> 05:06.500
One new item has been placed in
folder iPodrx download.

05:06.500 --> 05:08.500
Would you like to view the added
items?

05:08.500 --> 05:08.500
No not now.

05:10.500 --> 05:12.500
Oh boy, there's more items
coming in.

05:12.500 --> 05:16.500
That is the iPod or X running in
the background.

05:16.500 --> 05:18.500
Running happily, I have to say.

05:21.000 --> 05:24.000
That's good news.

05:24.000 --> 05:26.000
So we had to get the call set
up.

05:26.000 --> 05:31.000
Now remember we're doing this
voiceover IP, which means that
I'm doing it on iChat, which

05:31.000 --> 05:33.000
is Apple's instant message
client.

05:33.000 --> 05:36.000
And it's the iChat AV so you can
do audio and video.

05:36.000 --> 05:40.000
And Dave's using AOL, he's using
AIM, he's using the Windows
client.

05:40.000 --> 05:45.000
And you know that was all right
because certainly if you compare
it to the first show we

05:45.000 --> 05:53.000
did where we literally had to
stop and retape sometimes just
minutes worth but

05:53.000 --> 05:55.000
at one point almost half an
hour's worth of it.

05:57.000 --> 06:03.000
it kills your energy. So the
energy was much better now. We
didn't have to really do
anything.

06:03.000 --> 06:08.000
His sound was clipping once in a
while, but all things
considered, I think it's pretty

06:08.000 --> 06:14.000
damn good and you can't beat the
price. Now, let's be honest, you
just can't beat that.

06:14.000 --> 06:17.000
So it's a long show. It's about
an hour and 20 minutes and you
can see that you can

06:17.000 --> 06:22.000
listen to it. It's
secrets.scripting.com. It's
trade secrets and maybe in the
next

06:22.000 --> 06:27.000
week show, we'll explain to you
what that title really means and
where it came from.

06:27.000 --> 06:36.000
I was thinking maybe we'd just
take a, since it's such a, you
know, it's so late and I

06:36.000 --> 06:40.000
haven't done a source code. I
don't think I've done a source
code at this hour.

06:40.000 --> 06:47.000
We'll just take a quick step
outside. Hold on a second. We
go. Just to get a little vibe.

06:47.000 --> 06:55.000
Hold on a second. It is raining.
Let me just get the umbrella.
Just take a quick evening
stroll.

07:00.000 --> 07:03.000
around the back courtyard.

07:03.000 --> 07:05.000
Now actually it's harvest time.

07:05.000 --> 07:06.000
Oh, there's a little froggy.

07:06.000 --> 07:07.000
Hello frog.

07:07.000 --> 07:09.000
I almost stepped on him.

07:09.000 --> 07:10.000
It's harvest time.

07:10.000 --> 07:13.000
And particularly now that all
the rains are coming,

07:13.000 --> 07:17.000
the farmers that have the lands
all surrounding our grounds

07:17.000 --> 07:18.000
are harvesting.

07:18.000 --> 07:21.000
And they do this almost 24 hours
a day non-stop.

07:21.000 --> 07:24.000
It's really time is money kind
of deal.

07:24.000 --> 07:27.000
And I heard him, up until about
half an hour ago,

07:27.000 --> 07:29.000
I heard him buzz and buy with
the tractor

07:29.000 --> 07:30.000
so we may hear him.

07:30.000 --> 07:33.000
Now I'm about, let's see,

07:33.000 --> 07:40.000
I say I'm about 50 yards from
the receiving end of this.

07:40.000 --> 07:42.000
So I presume that that's still
working.

07:46.500 --> 07:48.500
Sorry, I'm taking a sip of my
drink there.

07:48.500 --> 07:53.500
I got a humongous flame of
comment on DailySourceCode.com.

07:53.500 --> 07:55.500
Someone was unsubscribing from
my feed.

07:55.500 --> 08:01.500
He couldn't stand listening to
me slurping on my drink as I did
these shows.

08:01.500 --> 08:02.500
Unsubscribed forever, he said.

08:02.500 --> 08:04.500
Well, that's your right.

08:04.500 --> 08:05.500
That's what it's all about.

08:05.500 --> 08:07.500
You know, it's not like a
mailing list where you can't get
off.

08:07.500 --> 08:09.500
You know, that's what RSS does
so beautifully.

08:09.500 --> 08:10.500
If you're sick and tired.

08:12.000 --> 08:19.000
arrangement you just unsubscribe
okay nothing going on much
tonight oh I also

08:19.000 --> 08:27.000
got a note from Pete Prodell oh
god I hope I pronounce it right
now I can't I'm

08:27.000 --> 08:31.000
too afraid to open up my email
client while I'm recording stuff
I thought it

08:31.000 --> 08:37.000
was Prodell Prodell right
Prodell raster web audio you
know the guy who who I

08:37.000 --> 08:40.000
mentioned yesterday when I was
talking we were talking about
short content and

08:40.000 --> 08:45.000
comedy bits check out his latest
offering this is raster web
audio for

08:45.000 --> 08:51.000
September 22nd 2004 slightly
after mid-autopathy could be the
weather in

08:51.000 --> 08:57.000
Montclair New Jersey the current
conditions for Montclair New
Jersey it's

08:57.000 --> 09:03.000
currently fair with a
temperature of 58 degrees the
dew point is 56 humidity is

09:03.000 --> 09:09.000
93 visibility is around 10 miles
and the winds are calm thank you
and good

09:09.000 --> 09:15.000
night thank you Pete wonderful
I'm telling you

09:13.500 --> 09:15.500
I would subscribe to a feed that
does that.

09:15.500 --> 09:17.500
I absolutely would.

09:17.500 --> 09:20.500
We've actually been discussing
him doing some other kind of
feed,

09:20.500 --> 09:23.500
like maybe a joke of the day,
which is great.

09:23.500 --> 09:26.500
And I will promote it and I'll
certainly play his joke of the
day a couple times.

09:26.500 --> 09:29.500
But then the whole point is you
subscribe to it, you know,

09:29.500 --> 09:33.500
and then in the morning as
you're listening to the latest
shows

09:33.500 --> 09:36.500
that came down the pike or
whenever you have a chance to
listen to it

09:36.500 --> 09:39.500
on your walk or while you're
jogging or you're down time,
you're uptown,

09:39.500 --> 09:41.500
you're in your sleep time,
whatever,

09:41.500 --> 09:43.500
and you'll just automatically
hit it.

09:43.500 --> 09:45.500
And it'll be in between shows,
you know,

09:45.500 --> 09:49.500
maybe morning coffee notes or
trade secrets or evil genius
chronicles

09:49.500 --> 09:51.500
and then a joke of the day and
then a source code

09:51.500 --> 09:55.500
and that way you really start to
tivoize your experience.

09:55.500 --> 09:59.500
Oh man, this iPod or X is just
going nuts.

09:59.500 --> 10:01.500
It's giving me all kinds of
content.

10:01.500 --> 10:03.500
I subscribed to the...

10:03.500 --> 10:05.500
Oh, that was so beautiful.

10:05.500 --> 10:07.500
We got a couple of feeds from
Feedster,

10:07.500 --> 10:09.500
Scott Johnson had set that up
for us,

10:09.500 --> 10:12.500
even set up a whole webpage
saying, you know, here's my gift
to you.

10:19.500 --> 10:21.500
And I just said, well, give me
some picture enclosures.

10:21.500 --> 10:26.500
I want to see how many come in,
which apparently is quite a lot.

10:26.500 --> 10:29.500
And I did see noise, or not
noise, I saw signal to noise

10:29.500 --> 10:32.500
on the iPod or developer list
that were, you know,

10:32.500 --> 10:36.500
there's talk of putting in
either a, you know,

10:36.500 --> 10:41.500
do not download more than X
items or, yeah,

10:41.500 --> 10:43.500
or enclosures for each feed,

10:43.500 --> 10:44.500
especially when you subscribe to
a new one

10:44.500 --> 10:48.500
because that can really screw up
your machine,

10:48.500 --> 10:50.500
your processing, your power.

10:50.500 --> 10:52.500
And for any newbie who's just
installing it,

10:52.500 --> 10:54.500
it's kind of daunting, you know,
like you.

10:57.000 --> 11:00.000
The fan is worrying, I've got
files popping up all over the
place.

11:00.000 --> 11:01.000
It can be kind of scary.

11:01.000 --> 11:07.000
Let me see, I'm just fried.

11:07.000 --> 11:09.000
I apologize, normally I've got
my energy up.

11:09.000 --> 11:10.000
You know what, maybe this will
help.

11:10.000 --> 11:11.000
Let's play a song of the day.

11:11.000 --> 11:12.000
This is something that...

11:15.000 --> 11:19.000
It's not safe or worse put it
that way, but it's it's music to
walk in

11:24.000 --> 11:29.000
The dark clouded sky, silt with
rain, with turdward dew.

11:29.000 --> 11:34.000
Everybody's fucking but me.

11:34.000 --> 14:12.500
[ Music ]

14:12.500 --> 14:19.500
The man just sings a dark free

14:20.500 --> 14:24.500
I will stay like a stupid

14:25.500 --> 14:28.500
And fuck me

14:29.500 --> 14:32.500
Everybody's fucking

14:32.500 --> 14:53.750
[ Music ]

14:58.500 --> 15:00.500
I'll tell you, I'll say for
work.

15:00.500 --> 15:01.500
Isn't it beautiful though?

15:01.500 --> 15:02.500
Got a whole album.

15:02.500 --> 15:03.500
If you'd like it, let me know.

15:03.500 --> 15:05.500
I'll certainly play more.

15:05.500 --> 15:08.500
I wanted to wrap up today's
source code too

15:08.500 --> 15:11.500
with a little bit of feedback
for the Audio Hijack Pro guys

15:11.500 --> 15:13.500
from Amoeba Software.

15:13.500 --> 15:16.500
And I know that some of them
listen to the source code

15:16.500 --> 15:18.500
and actually got an email
saying,

15:18.500 --> 15:22.500
you know, we also, we're trying
to build this application

15:22.500 --> 15:23.500
into something that works for
audio blogging

15:23.500 --> 15:26.500
and give us some feedback.

15:26.500 --> 15:27.500
And I'll tell you, I love this
application.

15:27.500 --> 15:28.500
I love this program.

15:28.500 --> 15:32.500
It works extremely well for what
I'm trying to make it do.

15:32.500 --> 15:34.500
If it were possible to improve
anything,

15:34.500 --> 15:36.500
what would make it the most
ultimate,

15:36.500 --> 15:39.500
fabulous, fantastic tool?

15:40.500 --> 15:43.500
Would be, you know how on the
effects pane,

15:43.500 --> 15:46.500
so basically for, you know, you
can hijack the audio

15:46.500 --> 15:47.500
from any application.

15:51.000 --> 15:57.000
the effects page, what I'd love,
you know, because you can set in
all kinds of effects

15:57.000 --> 16:01.000
and filters and you can route
audio through from one filter to
another. Wouldn't it be

16:01.000 --> 16:08.000
beautiful if I could either A,
route the audio from the effects
pane to another recording,

16:08.000 --> 16:14.000
right? Or if I could select
several applications that I want
to record at the same time and

16:14.000 --> 16:18.000
then have them all record into
one file, because currently I
can record four out of

16:18.000 --> 16:21.000
four or five, you know, as many
applications theoretically as I
want at the

16:21.000 --> 16:28.000
same time, except I can only
record them to separate files.
So if there's any way to

16:28.000 --> 16:31.000
integrate, primarily the
microphone, that's the most
important part is being

16:31.000 --> 16:37.000
able to mix in the microphone
with the general signal coming
off of off of the

16:37.000 --> 16:42.000
the main, the core audio driver.
Just being able to do that would
be absolutely

16:42.000 --> 16:45.000
phenomenal. I don't even know if
it's possible. I've been getting
a lot of

16:45.000 --> 16:51.000
emails that in the next version
of the Mac OS, what is that,
Tiger or whatever.

16:51.000 --> 16:54.000
Yeah, it's Tiger.

16:52.500 --> 16:58.500
that there will be a lot more,
there will be many improvements
to the core audio drivers and

16:58.500 --> 17:04.500
ways to mix the signals and all
kinds of APIs and stuff that
developers can get into.

17:04.500 --> 17:10.500
So hopefully, Dave and I also
talked a bit about this on trade
secrets and the Apple guys,

17:10.500 --> 17:14.500
I love them man, they're always
right there when I need
something.

17:18.000 --> 17:22.000
you can. They're just not quite
thinking about this yet, but
hopefully they'll catch this

17:22.000 --> 17:27.000
on the source code and if anyone
wants to give me a call and pick
my brain about it,

17:27.000 --> 17:32.000
I'll be happy to let you know
because if we can get this to
work reliably, then it's great.

17:32.000 --> 17:39.000
Then anyone can have a full
blown audio or radio production
studio on your desktop. No need
for

17:39.000 --> 17:42.000
breakout boxes and external
devices or

17:46.500 --> 17:52.500
Maybe not all the hardware we
need to make it work perfectly,
but something more should

17:52.500 --> 17:55.500
be possible than the results I'm
achieving right now.

17:55.500 --> 18:00.500
Okay, oh, I almost forgot to
tell you the really good news.

18:00.500 --> 18:01.500
Patricia called.

18:01.500 --> 18:05.500
She and her sister have been in
London or England for the past
couple of days.

18:05.500 --> 18:06.500
And we have a house.

18:06.500 --> 18:08.500
She found a house.

18:08.500 --> 18:09.500
She cut a deal.

18:09.500 --> 18:11.500
Or at least I think she made an
offer.

18:11.500 --> 18:14.500
And I think that'll be accepted.

18:14.500 --> 18:18.500
Which means we'll be moving
somewhere I guess before
Christmas.

18:18.500 --> 18:20.500
So I'm very pumped about that.

18:20.500 --> 18:24.500
And I've actually only really
seen a picture of the house on
the internet.

18:24.500 --> 18:26.500
And Patricia took the video
camera.

18:26.500 --> 18:29.500
So by tomorrow afternoon, I'll
have seen it.

18:29.500 --> 18:32.500
And maybe I'll be able to let
you know a little bit more about
the new digs.

18:32.500 --> 18:37.500
Okay, I'd say that's about all I
can muster up today.

18:37.500 --> 18:40.500
Still have to get this up to the
server.

18:40.500 --> 18:43.500
And since I'm still Mr. Mom,
I've got to close down.

18:43.500 --> 18:47.500
Also got to clean up some of the
kitchen, get the dishwasher
going, make sure all the animals

18:48.000 --> 18:51.000
The animals are secure, the
house is secure, you know, make
sure Jim Bob, Mario and Sue

18:51.000 --> 18:53.000
Elnor all in bed.

18:58.500 --> 19:05.500
And that's it for Shows Code for
today.

19:27.000 --> 19:31.000
It's dailysourcecon.com.rss.xml.

19:31.000 --> 19:33.000
I'll see you tomorrow for
another video.
