WEBVTT 00:01.500 --> 00:14.500 Well, hi O.D. everybody and thank god it's Friday! 00:14.500 --> 00:15.500 Welcome to the source code! 00:21.000 --> 00:26.000 as the actual name of the place that we inhabited at the time being because we're almost out. 00:26.000 --> 00:33.000 Patricia came back yesterday and she had been on a three-day trip to the UK and she'd been 00:33.000 --> 00:38.000 around looking for houses and she put in an offer on one and looks like we're good to go. 00:38.000 --> 00:42.000 And she completely complied with the only requests I had which were A, 00:42.000 --> 00:47.000 a place that I could stand straight up in. You have no idea how low the houses are 00:47.000 --> 00:54.000 outside of London, the country regions. It's just like, man, people were just small 00:54.000 --> 00:59.000 back in the day I guess. Anything older than 100 years is going to be really really low 00:59.000 --> 01:04.000 when it comes to ceilings. Second request was broadband internet. Well the area that 01:04.000 --> 01:10.000 she's found something is in the county of Surrey, Surrey, which has quite a 01:10.000 --> 01:14.000 number of high tech centers and we're right near a technology park at a 01:14.000 --> 01:16.000 university. 01:16.500 --> 01:21.500 I bet there's plenty of bandwidth there, great infrastructure, great trains, and my third 01:21.500 --> 01:27.500 and final request was about half an hour away from an airport. 01:27.500 --> 01:29.500 Well guess what? 01:29.500 --> 01:30.500 There's an airport about half an hour away. 01:30.500 --> 01:37.500 I'm completely jazzed because it has a flight school, which means I can continue my flight 01:37.500 --> 01:38.500 training. 01:38.500 --> 01:40.500 Of course I have a helicopter pilot's license. 01:40.500 --> 01:41.500 Now I want fixed wing. 01:41.500 --> 01:45.500 I've only done about 10 or 15 hours of regular airplane training. 01:45.500 --> 01:48.500 So I'm going to do a fixed wing. 01:48.500 --> 01:53.500 They have a flight school there that does the FAA certification, so that's the American 01:53.500 --> 01:53.500 license. 01:55.500 --> 01:59.500 perfect and they have a fly higher fly yourself program so if you're a member of 01:59.500 --> 02:04.500 the club you can rent a beautiful plane they had they even have a Saratoga which 02:04.500 --> 02:10.500 is a great single-engine airplane and nice cruising speed so oh yeah and the 02:10.500 --> 02:16.500 house is really nice too that really is it's perfect it's absolutely phenomenal 02:16.500 --> 02:19.500 and I'm not gonna say too much about it because Patricia was so excited about 02:19.500 --> 02:23.500 checking you know out the house and the surroundings in the area that she 02:23.500 --> 02:29.500 we didn't really pay too much attention to her videography skills and we had 02:29.500 --> 02:33.500 last night when she came home we put up the video on the big screen here in the 02:33.500 --> 02:38.500 living room and I almost got seasick just from you know the motions and she 02:38.500 --> 02:42.500 did also inadvertently zoomed in a little bit so actually had to do some 02:42.500 --> 02:46.500 pause and you know step framing back and forth to get a real good idea and 02:46.500 --> 02:53.500 very hard to get a layout of of a of a house if you haven't been in it and 02:53.500 --> 02:58.500 someone's just like whips through it with a video camera but we're really 02:57.000 --> 03:00.000 excited and I'm sure that we're gonna have a good time there. It looks like 03:00.000 --> 03:05.000 somewhere around the middle of November we'll be making our move. 03:05.000 --> 03:09.000 Alright big shout out going to Skipper today on the source code she is so far 03:09.000 --> 03:12.000 the one in the 03:12.000 --> 03:16.000 request this song on the daily source code. So I'm gonna play it for her. Of course she was also my 03:16.000 --> 03:19.000 first employee at OnRamp back in the... 03:25.500 --> 03:28.500 to New York City. 03:28.750 --> 09:23.750 [ Music ] 09:27.000 --> 09:29.000 Oh shit, that's what you get for MP3s. 09:29.000 --> 09:31.000 Miss the very ending of it. 09:31.000 --> 09:32.000 Gold nearing radar love on the source code, 09:32.000 --> 09:35.000 going out by request to Skipper in New York City. 09:35.000 --> 09:38.000 And I made a very important discovery yesterday. 09:38.000 --> 09:41.000 I found something, a feature, a hidden feature, 09:41.000 --> 09:43.000 it probably wasn't intentionally hidden, 09:43.000 --> 09:47.000 but it was hard to find, in Audio Hijack Pro. 09:47.000 --> 09:51.000 I discovered that if you go to the effects portion 09:51.000 --> 09:53.000 of the application, now this is a program 09:53.000 --> 09:56.000 that you can record audio from any application 09:56.000 --> 10:00.000 running on your Macintosh. 10:00.000 --> 10:01.000 The effects I thought was really cool 10:01.000 --> 10:04.000 because you can basically plug in reverbs and echoes 10:04.000 --> 10:08.000 and flangers and compressors and whatever you can think of. 10:08.000 --> 10:11.000 You can really process the sound coming from the application 10:11.000 --> 10:13.000 just perfectly, which is all right. 10:13.000 --> 10:14.000 But what you want to do is, I've 10:14.000 --> 10:16.000 played about this many, many times, 10:16.000 --> 10:18.000 I want to be able to mix in a microphone signal. 10:18.000 --> 10:20.000 Well, darn wouldn't you know it. 10:20.000 --> 10:25.000 Right there under effects is a VST plug-in. 10:25.000 --> 10:28.000 Now I'm not sure if it comes with Audio Hijack Pro or 10:28.500 --> 10:31.500 it picked it up for my hard drive somewhere. I've certainly never purchased any 10:33.000 --> 10:40.000 my knowledge. So it's probably a free plugin and it actually says voiceover. Duh! And it 10:40.000 --> 10:46.000 gives you a nice little effects panel. You can select the audio device. So I've selected 10:46.000 --> 10:50.000 built-in audio, selected line-in. That's what my mic's connected to. It does little 10:50.000 --> 10:55.000 crossfade for you. It has an auto ducking threshold if you don't want to click on and 10:55.000 --> 11:00.000 off switch, which I do like to do because otherwise any cough or sudden noise will 11:00.000 --> 11:05.000 interrupt the record and actually lower the volume of the record. And you can 11:05.000 --> 11:10.000 actually set that up so it's mixed in with the signal mixed in as its own source. 11:10.000 --> 11:15.000 So now I have a very stable environment. Well knock on wood and you know there's 11:15.000 --> 11:21.000 my invitation to Murphy. It appears very stable and I can now get the audio from 11:21.000 --> 11:25.000 any application I want. In fact I have a couple other bits queued up for later in 11:25.000 --> 11:31.000 the show which are going to come from QuickTime. I can also perfectly bring in 11:31.000 --> 11:36.000 iChat. I think I've 11:34.500 --> 11:35.500 got it all running. 11:35.500 --> 11:37.500 I'm just going to try this setup for a week or so. 11:37.500 --> 11:42.500 I can't wait to do another trade secret with Dave because that's always the real test. 11:42.500 --> 11:46.500 As it is right now, if someone were to instant message me, I could bring you into the show 11:46.500 --> 11:47.500 immediately. 11:47.500 --> 11:48.500 I could put you on the air. 11:48.500 --> 11:55.500 Let me just see if I'm actually online at all at this moment. 11:55.500 --> 11:58.500 Very dangerous switching applications where I'm doing this stuff. 11:58.500 --> 12:02.500 Yeah, I'm online. 12:02.500 --> 12:06.500 People who have me in their buddy list, you know that if I'm online and I'll actually 12:06.500 --> 12:15.500 put something in my status bar there, let's see, I'll put in a custom thing there. 12:15.500 --> 12:19.500 Oh, actually, no, I have a custom thing. 12:19.500 --> 12:20.500 Have it on the air. 12:20.500 --> 12:21.500 There we go. 12:21.500 --> 12:22.500 On the air. 12:22.500 --> 12:28.500 If I'm on the air and you have something to say, go ahead, just give me an eye chat. 12:28.500 --> 12:29.500 Just check and see. 12:29.500 --> 12:32.500 The settings are all, oops, settings are all. 12:32.500 --> 12:34.500 Okay, there we go. 12:34.500 --> 12:34.500 That's better. 12:36.000 --> 12:37.000 Perfect. 12:37.000 --> 12:41.000 I can close that up. 12:41.000 --> 12:42.000 Right, we're all set. 12:42.000 --> 12:44.000 So should anyone call in? 12:44.000 --> 12:46.000 Probably won't because of the first time I'm mentioning it. 12:46.000 --> 12:47.000 But it's all set up. 12:47.000 --> 12:48.000 And as I said, it's pretty stable. 12:48.000 --> 12:49.000 There's a few quirks to it. 12:49.000 --> 12:53.000 But once I've tried it out for about a week, then I'm going to write it up so that people 12:53.000 --> 12:57.000 can start to emulate the same setup because now I don't even have a breakout box working. 12:57.000 --> 13:01.000 Granted, I can't route the audio yet back to the person on the other end of the call. 13:01.000 --> 13:07.000 And Skype still, I was able to get it working a little bit, but Skype is just not really 13:07.000 --> 13:08.000 happy with what I'm doing. 13:08.000 --> 13:11.000 And until they support multiple sound devices, I guess we just can't use it. 13:11.000 --> 13:13.000 So we'll have to wait until they... 13:13.000 --> 13:14.000 Oh, it's still in beta. 13:14.000 --> 13:15.000 It was a long way to go. 13:15.000 --> 13:20.000 I'll see if there's a Skype mailing list and see if I can get some feature requests 13:20.000 --> 13:21.000 in there. 13:21.000 --> 13:26.000 Another question I had, and I've got a lot of feedback on the past shows and I really 13:26.000 --> 13:29.000 appreciate it, is file size. 13:29.000 --> 13:34.000 Now looking at the bandwidth, I'm pushing out at this point at the top of the hour when 13:34.000 --> 13:37.000 there's a new source code or new trade secrets. 13:37.500 --> 13:41.500 upwards of 12 megabits per second of traffic. 13:41.500 --> 13:44.500 This is an enormous amount. 13:44.500 --> 13:47.500 And so eventually, that's going to cause problems. 13:47.500 --> 13:50.500 And so we know that we're working on bit torrent integration, 13:50.500 --> 13:52.500 and I don't want to talk too much about that today. 13:52.500 --> 13:54.500 But one of the things that certainly can be done 13:54.500 --> 13:56.500 is to lower the file size. 13:56.500 --> 13:57.500 So I've been on a quest. 13:57.500 --> 13:58.500 I don't understand too much about it 13:58.500 --> 14:02.500 about continuous bit rate, variable bit rate. 14:02.500 --> 14:04.500 Yeah, I do understand what it is 14:04.500 --> 14:05.500 and how it's supposed to work. 14:05.500 --> 14:07.500 But in practice, what is the right setting? 14:07.500 --> 14:10.500 What is the perfect setting for voice and music 14:10.500 --> 14:13.500 and for the slowest file size possible? 14:13.500 --> 14:14.500 Well, wouldn't you know it? 14:14.500 --> 14:17.500 We got an audio message from Dr. Dave, 14:17.500 --> 14:20.500 who was more than happy to explain the right way to do it. 14:20.500 --> 14:22.500 And Dr. Dave, it's good to have him online, 14:22.500 --> 14:24.500 because, well, you'll hear immediately, 14:24.500 --> 14:26.500 this is a guy that you want to have some kind of podcast 14:26.500 --> 14:27.500 from on a daily basis. 14:27.500 --> 14:28.500 Check him out. 14:28.500 --> 14:30.500 Hello, I'm Dr. Dave from Las Vegas, 14:30.500 --> 14:33.500 former disc jockey in the Las Vegas, Phoenix, 14:33.500 --> 14:35.500 in San Diego markets. 14:35.500 --> 14:37.500 But that goes way back to this. 14:39.000 --> 14:40.000 I don't even know if you're that old. 14:40.000 --> 14:42.000 Bumper Morgan is a friend of mine, 14:42.000 --> 14:44.000 and he was kind enough to send me a link to your site, 14:44.000 --> 14:47.000 where you archive your mp3 files. 14:47.000 --> 14:49.000 Listening to the one dated today, 9... 14:51.000 --> 14:54.000 before you were talking about file size. 14:54.000 --> 14:55.000 Well, may I suggest a few things? 14:55.000 --> 14:57.000 First, use a lower bit rate. 14:57.000 --> 15:02.000 32 KBS will still give you up to 16 kilohertz 15:02.000 --> 15:06.000 in audio quality, far superior to FM radio, 15:06.000 --> 15:08.000 and really better than most systems 15:08.000 --> 15:11.000 and headphones out there can reproduce. 15:11.000 --> 15:14.000 So by doing that, or if you go down to 22 KBS, 15:14.000 --> 15:18.000 you're still at 11 kilohertz, about equal to FM radio, 15:18.000 --> 15:20.000 and essentially cutting your file size in half. 15:20.000 --> 15:24.000 Two other ways to decrease your file size 15:24.000 --> 15:26.000 are stretch, which actually compresses 15:28.500 --> 15:34.500 maintaining frequency and pitch and delete silence, which allows for all of the intelligible 15:34.500 --> 15:38.500 information to be saved and eliminates the silent portions. 15:38.500 --> 15:40.500 It's an effect that's built into... 15:45.000 --> 15:50.000 For further information drop me a voicemail or email awchetcocks.net. 15:50.000 --> 15:53.000 Again from Las Vegas it's Dr. Dave. Clear. 15:53.000 --> 15:59.000 Oh, clear. Perfect. I'd fly with Dr. Dave any day. I'd love to hear about the radio. 15:59.000 --> 16:07.000 Okay, so I'm going to take his advice and see if I can lower it down to 32 to get to half the file size if not all re-encode. 16:09.000 --> 16:15.000 But, wouldn't it be great to have Dr. Dave, I gotta have Dr. Dave cut some liners, some 16:15.000 --> 16:21.000 jingles for the show, you know, this is perfect for the daily source code, outstanding. 16:21.000 --> 16:24.000 So, I'm gonna work on that. 16:24.000 --> 16:27.000 And I do wanna, I'm almost ready to make an endorsement. 16:27.000 --> 16:28.000 And I'm talking about iPodder. 16:28.000 --> 16:32.000 iPodder, this is the first time you're hearing the show, is a small program that basically 16:32.000 --> 16:37.000 fills up your iPod with anything you subscribe to, with shows, information, audio books, 16:37.000 --> 16:41.000 well, we're still working on the audio books part, but it is just beginning. 16:42.000 --> 16:47.000 Now, I'm using a Mac, but there are currently versions for Mac, Windows, 16:47.000 --> 16:49.000 Linux, and Pocket PC. 16:49.000 --> 16:51.000 And I know there's also a Java version being worked on. 16:51.000 --> 16:55.000 So there's plenty of opportunity for everyone to play with this. 16:55.000 --> 17:00.000 It doesn't also only work with iPod, it works with Windows and 17:00.000 --> 17:03.000 other, with a Windows Media Player and anything that you can sync up to 17:03.000 --> 17:06.000 Windows Media Player, it manages stuff from your playlist. 17:06.000 --> 17:06.000 It's great. 17:06.000 --> 17:07.000 So, go to iPodder.org, check it out. 17:07.000 --> 17:10.000 Now, I feel that it's about. 17:10.500 --> 17:16.500 time to make an endorsement for a product because what I want to get away from is, you know, 17:16.500 --> 17:17.500 all these versions floating out there. 17:17.500 --> 17:22.500 Now already I've seen everything kind of come together and I'm still a bit confused and I'm 17:22.500 --> 17:24.500 not trying to intervene too much. 17:24.500 --> 17:27.500 I'm not quite sure who's working with who and where. 17:27.500 --> 17:31.500 But I think that pretty soon we should be able to say here's iPod for Mac, here's 17:31.500 --> 17:38.500 iPod for Windows and here's iPod for Linux and if we have it here's iPod for, for 17:38.500 --> 17:44.500 a pocket PC but just one version, not multiple versions and already some of the 17:44.500 --> 17:49.500 scripts have been discontinued and work is, you know, as I said is being focused on 17:49.500 --> 17:51.500 certain apps. 17:51.500 --> 17:53.500 I want to point out iPod or X. 17:53.500 --> 17:58.500 This is what I've been using for the past couple of days and iPod or X is based on 17:58.500 --> 18:02.500 I believe the iSpider engine. 18:02.500 --> 18:06.500 It doesn't matter because it's all Python under the hood and the iPod or X part 18:06.500 --> 18:07.500 is really just the interface. 18:07.500 --> 18:11.500 I've also seen some screenshots of a Windows interface which emulates what iPod 18:12.000 --> 18:19.000 I'm really really happy about iPodRx because it has no install. 18:19.000 --> 18:23.000 It's an application. You drop it in your applications folder, you double click it, it opens, it runs. 18:23.000 --> 18:29.000 It immediately shows you your feeds, you can add there, you can delete from there, you can check there, 18:29.000 --> 18:33.000 you can stop the check if you want to, you can make it run automatically, you can put a little slider, 18:33.000 --> 18:40.000 control when it's going to run. And these guys understand now what users are looking for. 18:40.000 --> 18:43.000 When you say that it runs automatically, it tells you right there. 18:43.000 --> 18:47.000 When you run this automatically, even when you quit the application, it's still going to continue to run 18:47.000 --> 18:51.000 and fill up your iPod. Turning it off will obviously turn it off. 18:51.000 --> 18:58.000 And they also understand the marketing. If you look at iPodR.sourceforge.net, 18:58.000 --> 19:01.000 that's what you say, wait a minute, am I saying that correctly? 19:01.000 --> 19:04.000 I'm afraid to surf. Damn. 19:04.000 --> 19:09.000 I'll post a link to iPodRx. See, this is how confusing it is. 19:09.000 --> 19:13.000 Look at that website. 19:13.500 --> 19:18.500 One simple page with beautiful graphics, with very simple language tells you exactly what 19:18.500 --> 19:21.500 it does, exactly what it is, and it's just inviting. 19:21.500 --> 19:23.500 You just want to go and do it. 19:23.500 --> 19:25.500 You want to get this and get your hands on it. 19:25.500 --> 19:31.500 So I'm leaning towards an endorsement there for the Mac version of the iPodder, and I'd 19:31.500 --> 19:35.500 like to look at candidates for Windows. 19:35.500 --> 19:37.500 I have a Windows machine here, a Windows 2000 machine. 19:37.500 --> 19:40.500 I can run something there. 19:40.500 --> 19:44.500 And I'd like to get this out sometime next week, because we need to move on. 19:44.500 --> 19:50.500 We've got to get going, particularly on the publishing side as it comes to BitTorrent, 19:50.500 --> 19:54.500 so that we can start saving ourselves some bandwidth. 19:54.500 --> 20:02.500 I pointed to something else on my weblog today, live.curry.com, a keynote speech held for 20:02.500 --> 20:06.500 the music industry by Andrew Olofsky. 20:06.500 --> 20:12.500 And I urge you to read that, because he said something there that is so beautiful. 20:12.500 --> 20:13.500 He says that in about five years... 20:15.000 --> 20:18.000 There will be an iPod that will fill itself up automatically. 20:18.000 --> 20:21.000 Apple probably won't make that iPod, someone else will. 20:21.000 --> 20:25.000 And I went, yes. Not five years from now, my friend. 20:25.000 --> 20:29.000 It's already been done. And we're all a group of very dedicated people. 20:29.000 --> 20:34.000 And you should read his vision on that because he says, in essence, he says, 20:34.000 --> 20:37.000 music industry now is the time to pounce. 20:37.000 --> 20:42.000 There is no bigger opportunity to make money off of the music business by selling 20:43.000 --> 20:47.000 music and packaging in new and interesting ways than right now. 20:47.000 --> 20:51.000 Now the flawed, I think, his speech, not that it's a flawed idea, 20:51.000 --> 20:54.000 is he says, look, for all the crap you're going to go through, 20:54.000 --> 20:58.000 in addition to what you've gone through already, by switching to digital and download and peer to 21:00.000 --> 21:04.000 And he has some very, very clear ideas on how to make money, regardless of whether peer-to-peer 21:04.000 --> 21:11.000 sharing and just, you know, exchange of music is going on or not. 21:11.000 --> 21:15.000 His bridge finance, if you will, is a taxation. 21:15.000 --> 21:19.000 And oh, my daughter just instant messaged me, don't forget to videotape top of the pub's 21:19.000 --> 21:21.000 BBC one 830p. 21:21.000 --> 21:22.000 You got it, dear. 21:22.000 --> 21:23.000 I have the... 21:23.000 --> 21:24.000 Good Charlotte. 21:24.000 --> 21:25.000 Good Charlotte's going to be on. 21:25.000 --> 21:26.000 Can you close the door for me, hon? 21:26.000 --> 21:27.000 Thank you. 21:27.000 --> 21:28.000 Bye. 21:28.000 --> 21:29.000 Bye. 21:29.000 --> 21:34.000 Yeah, he says taxation is the way to go. 21:34.000 --> 21:38.000 And of course it would cost next to nothing, but to get that to happen were probably, well, 21:38.000 --> 21:42.000 if the music business, you know, took that idea, they could probably lobby that reasonably 21:42.000 --> 21:45.000 effectively, but I doubt that they'll go for that. 21:45.000 --> 21:48.000 But that did give me a whole bunch of ideas, man. 21:48.000 --> 21:51.000 Just a whole bunch of ideas running around in my head. 21:51.000 --> 21:57.000 And I came across a couple of sound clips that I want to play for you. 21:57.000 --> 22:01.000 Sound pertains to the music business, although it's aimed at George Bush, of course. 22:01.500 --> 22:05.500 stuff that I just pick up on the net from the blog digger media feed and other places. 22:05.500 --> 22:09.500 And I really want to try and start fill the source code up a little bit more with stuff 22:09.500 --> 22:10.500 that's out there. 22:10.500 --> 22:16.500 And hey, if you've got a cool song or just anything, send me a pointer. 22:16.500 --> 22:20.500 I love to play stuff and particularly stuff that you won't hear on commercial radio. 22:20.500 --> 22:25.500 And I think we ought to use this medium as optimally as possible in anticipation 22:25.500 --> 22:28.500 of the record business catching on. 22:28.500 --> 22:30.500 Right, we got a couple of years. 22:30.500 --> 22:32.500 So here's something I picked up off blog digger feed. 22:32.500 --> 22:35.500 This is called scum of the earth. 22:35.500 --> 22:36.500 Scum of the earth. 22:36.500 --> 22:37.500 George W. Bush. 22:37.500 --> 22:39.500 The fat fuck. 22:39.500 --> 22:40.500 Russ Zimbab. 22:40.500 --> 22:41.500 George Liddy. 22:41.500 --> 22:42.500 Pint. 22:42.500 --> 22:44.500 And pensioners of the state. 22:44.500 --> 22:46.500 We ought to be heard. 22:46.500 --> 22:47.500 George W. Bush. 22:47.500 --> 22:48.500 Russ. 22:48.500 --> 22:49.500 Pint. 22:49.500 --> 22:50.500 Terrorism. 22:50.500 --> 22:51.500 Russ. 22:51.500 --> 22:52.500 Scum of the earth. 22:52.500 --> 22:53.500 George W. Bush. 22:53.500 --> 22:54.500 The fat fuck. 22:54.500 --> 22:55.500 Terrible. 22:55.500 --> 22:56.500 Russ Zimbab. 22:56.500 --> 22:57.500 George Liddy. 22:57.500 --> 22:58.500 Pint. 22:58.500 --> 23:00.500 And pensioners of the state. 23:00.500 --> 23:02.500 We ought to be heard. 23:06.000 --> 23:06.000 Spoon! 23:06.000 --> 23:08.000 Tip tip terrace in the 23:08.000 --> 23:08.000 Rock 23:08.000 --> 23:09.000 Gumbelord 23:09.000 --> 23:09.000 Yeah 23:09.000 --> 23:10.000 George W. Bush 23:10.000 --> 23:11.000 The Fast Pop 23:11.000 --> 23:13.000 Tip tip terrace in the 23:13.000 --> 23:13.000 Gumbelord 23:19.500 --> 23:21.500 Last symbol. 23:21.500 --> 23:23.500 Go on, little pimp. 23:23.500 --> 23:27.500 And pimpness of the state, we ought to be... 23:31.500 --> 23:32.500 Ruff. 23:32.500 --> 23:33.500 George W. Bush. 23:33.500 --> 23:35.500 Scum of the Earth. 23:35.500 --> 23:39.500 Well, I'm not quite sure what the message is there, unless you take it at completely 23:39.500 --> 23:40.500 at face value. 23:40.500 --> 23:43.500 Scum of the Earth from the blog digger media feed. 23:43.500 --> 23:48.500 And I should probably say that source code is NSFW and it's always going to be that 23:48.500 --> 23:49.500 way. 23:49.500 --> 23:53.500 You may not get your, you know, the porn you're looking for on each listen of a show, 23:53.500 --> 23:58.500 but you can certainly expect some raunchy stuff to be played once in a while. 23:58.500 --> 24:01.500 And I love mashups and mixes. 24:01.500 --> 24:03.500 In fact, well, maybe I'll do one tomorrow, you never know. 24:03.500 --> 24:09.500 But certainly for Monday's source code, I'll scrunch up a couple of mashups. 24:09.500 --> 24:13.500 That's where you take an old song, a new song, mix them together. 24:13.500 --> 24:14.500 It's cool. 24:14.500 --> 24:17.500 It's kind of a retro techno thing. 24:17.500 --> 24:18.500 But you'll probably dig it. 24:18.500 --> 24:19.500 If not, let me know. 24:19.500 --> 24:20.500 Adam at Curry.com. 24:20.500 --> 24:22.500 This is also your show. 24:22.500 --> 24:25.500 And this, of course, is where users and developers party together. 24:26.500 --> 24:27.500 Gonna take a look in the mailbag. 24:27.500 --> 24:28.500 Hold on. 24:28.500 --> 24:31.500 I got some mailbag music for us here. 24:33.000 --> 24:35.000 Oops, there we go. 24:35.000 --> 24:36.000 Let's see. 24:38.000 --> 24:42.000 Switching to male, so that can always mess up the sound. 24:42.000 --> 24:44.000 What you did there? 24:44.000 --> 24:45.000 Okay. 24:45.000 --> 24:49.000 Got male from...let me see. 24:50.000 --> 24:53.000 This is from Andrew Jaffe. 24:53.000 --> 24:58.000 He actually sent this to Dave Weiner and myself regarding the Daily Source Code. 24:58.000 --> 25:02.000 And he listens to our shows while he's riding the tube in London. 25:02.000 --> 25:04.000 He also says he's looking forward to my arrival. 25:06.000 --> 25:10.000 said something pretty astute. He said, you know, I really love listening to all these 25:10.000 --> 25:16.000 podcasts, but when are people going to stop talking about the podcasting themselves and 25:16.000 --> 25:21.000 actually do some podcasting? And this isn't working too well with my quick time window. 25:21.000 --> 25:28.000 It's definitely not liking this. Okay, let me just turn that off. Again, a little low 25:28.000 --> 25:36.000 on processing speed here. So I totally agree. Andrew, you know, the days of 25:36.000 --> 25:40.000 testing, testing one, two, three, four, you know, that's almost over. We're getting our 25:43.500 --> 25:46.500 At least 600, 700 people subscribed to the daily source code. 25:46.500 --> 25:47.500 That's a lot of people. 25:47.500 --> 25:50.500 Put them all in one room and you'll see. 25:50.500 --> 25:54.500 And he also has a feature request for the iPod, which I asked him to send off to the iPod 25:54.500 --> 25:55.500 development list. 25:55.500 --> 25:56.500 And I don't know if Andrew is... 25:56.500 --> 25:57.500 Let me see. 25:57.500 --> 25:59.500 He's in the Astrophysics Group. 25:59.500 --> 26:08.500 Are you a user or developer in the Astrophysics Group at Imperial College? 26:08.500 --> 26:11.500 His request is for some file management. 26:11.500 --> 26:12.500 I knew that was going to come. 26:12.500 --> 26:16.500 And I think that's something that can be done in the ongoing development of iPodr, 26:16.500 --> 26:21.500 is how your cache is cleaned up, when files are deleted, et cetera. 26:21.500 --> 26:22.500 It's a pretty normal stuff. 26:22.500 --> 26:25.500 And I think that's a great user request. 26:25.500 --> 26:27.500 Let's see. 26:27.500 --> 26:29.500 Oh, Dave and I were talking on the... 26:29.500 --> 26:35.500 On Trade Secrets about Netflix, about the RSS feeds for your queue on Netflix, 26:35.500 --> 26:37.500 and how he wants to aggregate those together. 26:37.500 --> 26:39.500 If you haven't heard his explanation of what he wants to do, 26:39.500 --> 26:44.500 I suggest you listen to Trade Secrets volume number... 26:45.000 --> 26:54.000 So, Miles Weisslater from meetup.com sent me a link and said that the UK version of Netflix 26:54.000 --> 26:57.000 is videoisland.com. 26:57.000 --> 27:00.000 So even though it's not available in Belgium and not in the Netherlands when I get to 27:00.000 --> 27:04.000 the UK, I can also get a Netflix-like subscription. 27:04.000 --> 27:10.000 I don't know if they have RSS feeds though, hopefully by the time I get there. 27:10.000 --> 27:18.000 And Pete Pradol, Raster Web Audio, sent me a little note, a blurb about ESPN. 27:18.000 --> 27:22.000 I guess this is taken from their homepage. 27:22.000 --> 27:24.000 I'm just going to read this quote. 27:24.000 --> 27:27.000 With our last redesign in 2003, ESPN.com 27:30.000 --> 27:35.000 motion. By downloading high quality video transparently to users hard drives we were able to give our 27:35.000 --> 27:41.000 viewers free of charge some of the highest quality video on the web with no waiting no buffering 27:41.000 --> 27:47.000 and no noticeable encoding artifacts. The simple installation of the little ESPN ActiveX control 27:47.000 --> 27:52.000 users could watch freshly cut ESPN video right within our front page. So sounds like these 27:52.000 --> 27:57.000 guys have the right idea you know the thought of bringing in video or bringing in any type of 27:58.000 --> 28:04.000 content using that word overnight when you're basically on downtime you know and it doesn't 28:04.000 --> 28:09.000 have to be overnight with today's bandwidth speed you've got a real fast pipe you can set it for a 28:09.000 --> 28:17.000 couple times a day just like iPodder but you know I doubt that they're using RSS and that's really 28:17.000 --> 28:22.000 a shame you know think about the audience they could have how they could increase their audience 28:22.000 --> 28:27.000 just you know with with one day's worth of development and a little bit of thought and 28:27.000 --> 28:31.000 just the right blink here and there I mean people would go 28:31.500 --> 28:36.500 freaking nuts. And they'd pay for that, I'm sure they would. The infrastructure is already 28:36.500 --> 28:40.500 there. There are so many news readers out there that already support enclosures and people 28:40.500 --> 28:45.500 are working on more every single day. It's a shame. It's absolutely a shame. 28:45.500 --> 28:53.500 And I wanted to talk about Mars Edit. This is a brand new application for Mac OS X and 28:53.500 --> 29:00.500 it's a blogging app. And it can, it basically is a front end for different blogging systems. 29:00.500 --> 29:04.500 And it supports a whole slew of them. You know, every single one that I know and 29:04.500 --> 29:08.500 actually, and then some, including Radio User Land, which is what I use. And so 29:08.500 --> 29:13.500 basically it knows the API of the weblog system you use. And it also works for 29:13.500 --> 29:18.500 Manila sites and for movable type and for blogger. It's beautiful. But it has so 29:18.500 --> 29:22.500 much built in. It is so well thought out. And I think that's probably very much 29:22.500 --> 29:29.500 because it's a, it comes from a Mac, a Mac developers thinking. It's so user 29:29.500 --> 29:32.500 friendly and I've started using it now and it's still, it's in beta. 29:33.000 --> 29:41.000 now. But it's just kick-ass. It really does the job well. It does it fast. It's real simple 29:41.000 --> 29:46.000 because I do a lot of, I have to go back and edit a lot of my posts mainly for spelling 29:46.000 --> 29:52.000 errors that I don't, I check posts, the posts. I don't know why, but I do and people will 29:52.000 --> 29:58.000 point out huge glaring errors. And also it's easier than going to my web log and looking 29:58.000 --> 30:02.000 down the page. I can just look at the last 50 postings that I did and pull out information 30:02.000 --> 30:08.000 that I might want to talk about. It's very whizzy-wig although you basically, the way I 30:08.000 --> 30:12.000 use it is you know I write up the post and then I'll add the links and it does 30:12.000 --> 30:17.000 show those to you in HTML code, but at the same time you can have a preview window 30:17.000 --> 30:20.000 open and it types along with you so you can see whizzy-wig exactly what it's 30:20.000 --> 30:25.000 going to look like. So that's, that's pretty good. And it also, and the 30:25.000 --> 30:29.000 whizzy-wig is really a browser so if you add a picture which it also has a 30:29.000 --> 30:34.000 little special window pane for to help you upload pictures to your server, it's 30:34.500 --> 30:37.500 It's fantastic. It's really what I've been looking for. 30:37.500 --> 30:40.500 I've been using an outliner to do my posts. 30:40.500 --> 30:45.500 I really like using an outliner for writing, but for the 30:45.500 --> 30:49.500 length of the post that I make, you know, if I really have to write something 30:49.500 --> 30:54.500 that's going to be a couple paragraphs or that, you know, lots of thought needs to go into, 30:54.500 --> 30:58.500 then I'll write in an outliner first and then I'll just copy-paste it into 30:58.500 --> 31:02.500 into Mars Edit. And don't even have to do that because Mars Edit 31:02.500 --> 31:06.500 is fully scriptable. So I could pass it off from an outline window 31:06.500 --> 31:10.500 from Radio Userland right into that, into the 31:10.500 --> 31:17.500 into the Mars Edit, you know, the new posting creation window. 31:17.500 --> 31:22.500 I was going to say something else about it. Oh, yeah, it has built in Apple 31:22.500 --> 31:25.500 Scripts. One that I've been, I just started using, which oh man, 31:25.500 --> 31:30.500 it's like diarrhea of the blog. It's a post from Safari. So basically you just 31:30.500 --> 31:34.500 copy a little bit of text on a web page in Safari. You run the script from the 31:34.500 --> 31:37.500 from the Mars Edit menu. 31:36.000 --> 31:40.000 and it posts in a post for you, which is also configurable. 31:40.000 --> 31:44.000 It'll take the title of the page, you know, what's in the menu bar. 31:44.000 --> 31:48.000 It'll do a colon and then a quotation mark. 31:48.000 --> 31:52.000 So it's really, it's removing four steps that I used to do manually in the Outliner. 31:52.000 --> 31:56.000 I should look at the script actually, but it's really cool. 31:56.000 --> 32:01.000 You can set the parameters, how you want the default post to show up when you post from Safari. 32:01.000 --> 32:05.000 So just totally tits as we say in New Jersey. 32:05.000 --> 32:08.000 And only one request, of course, is enclosure support. 32:08.000 --> 32:12.000 You know, and I would fully expect to be able to just drag and drop something on there, 32:12.000 --> 32:15.000 but I'll take a URL that'll be great for me. 32:15.000 --> 32:18.000 And you know, once that's in there, it's, wow, it's great. 32:18.000 --> 32:21.000 I can't wait until the final candidate is released. 32:21.000 --> 32:24.000 I'm a customer for sure. 32:24.000 --> 32:27.000 Okay, what are we doing here? 32:27.000 --> 32:30.000 32 minutes.
