WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:12.000 Well, good afternoon everybody! Welcome to the Daily Source Code, coming to you live! 00:12.000 --> 00:16.000 Almost live. Bit delayed, maybe it was yesterday, maybe it's tomorrow. It's from 00:16.000 --> 00:19.000 Flanders Belgium from Curry Castle. This is your daily... 00:24.000 --> 00:31.000 Oh boy, got a lot of stuff lined up for you today. I know I always say that. 00:34.500 --> 00:38.500 on a quick Skype call to Dave Weiner and I said you know I could do the stuff I 00:38.500 --> 00:41.500 receive every single day I could put together three source codes it's just 00:41.500 --> 00:45.500 how do I weed through all this stuff to find the good things right well 00:45.500 --> 00:49.500 basically my iPod are does a 00:51.000 --> 00:56.000 I've got a what's new playlist set up. It's a smart list. So basically the rules are it's just like an email 00:58.500 --> 01:01.500 If it's happened to be played before and it's in this category then 01:01.500 --> 01:02.500 line it up. 01:03.500 --> 01:07.500 And that's how I get all kinds of cool tunes and stuff coming off the blog 01:07.500 --> 01:08.500 dear 01:09.500 --> 01:11.500 mp3 feeds. 01:11.500 --> 01:13.500 Just so much so much stuff coming in. 01:14.500 --> 01:17.500 And this is the source code where of course users and developers make the 01:17.500 --> 01:18.500 pot-tay happen. 01:19.500 --> 01:21.500 And I got to tell you last night I could barely sleep. 01:21.500 --> 01:24.500 It was all day yesterday. 01:24.500 --> 01:27.500 I was doing interviews mainly with journalists based on 01:28.500 --> 01:29.500 the West Coast. 01:29.500 --> 01:34.500 So it was LA Times, Wired magazine, Business Week, which was she was in 01:34.500 --> 01:36.500 New York, had a great, great chat with her. 01:37.500 --> 01:42.500 Susan is a she's an old radio pirate herself. 01:42.500 --> 01:44.500 I'm expecting a cool article. 01:46.500 --> 01:48.500 Let's see who else that I talked to. 01:48.500 --> 01:52.500 I talked to publication in Minneapolis, St. 01:52.500 --> 01:56.500 Paul, hoping of course to reach a prince through that interview. 01:56.500 --> 01:58.500 And, oh man. 02:00.000 --> 02:05.000 There we go. Leo La Porte has a radio or whatever. 02:07.500 --> 02:11.500 So, he's going to interview me tomorrow. 02:11.500 --> 02:13.500 That'll be a radio interview. 02:13.500 --> 02:19.500 I've been doing just so much work on this that I got in bed last night and I just had 02:19.500 --> 02:25.500 URL ipodder.org circling my head and I started to, I got like cold. 02:28.500 --> 02:31.500 had to pull out a fan to cool down and to walk around. 02:31.500 --> 02:32.500 I was buzzing. 02:32.500 --> 02:34.500 I was just electrified, full of energy. 02:34.500 --> 02:36.500 You know what that's like when you can't sleep? 02:36.500 --> 02:40.500 It's just like sparks flying off your brain, man. 02:40.500 --> 02:42.500 So that usually means that I'm really excited about something, 02:42.500 --> 02:45.500 and I am because this is just so nice, 02:45.500 --> 02:49.500 everything that's taken place. 02:49.500 --> 02:51.500 So I've got a couple of songs that I want to play for you. 02:51.500 --> 02:55.500 Of course, I also want to talk about some iPod'r stuff. 03:03.000 --> 03:07.000 just bringing up the speed on what the latest developments are and what's going on. 03:07.000 --> 03:15.000 And I've finally had some time this morning to start updating the directories on iPodder.org. 03:15.000 --> 03:20.000 And I'm far from finished. What's cool about the directory, you have two. One is the software 03:20.000 --> 03:26.000 directory. Now I'm still working on getting all that together. It's a little harder to 03:26.000 --> 03:31.000 figure out who's doing what and where. But since I voiced that concern, I'm getting a lot of 03:31.000 --> 03:36.000 emails with the introduction saying, okay, we're the new iPodder.net team. Here's who we are. 03:40.500 --> 03:45.500 If you go to iPodder.org and you go to the shows directory, there's a hyperlink and you 03:45.500 --> 03:49.500 click on it and you get a form and you can say, okay, I want to add this show. 03:49.500 --> 03:56.500 Just type in the URL and the RSS feed of your show and I'll add that to the directory. 03:56.500 --> 03:58.500 That resource is finally picking up a little bit. 03:58.500 --> 04:02.500 But I also want to do a redesign and just get this a little bit tighter and make it 04:02.500 --> 04:04.500 a little more efficient for everybody. 04:04.500 --> 04:07.500 I've had some excellent offers of help. 04:07.500 --> 04:08.500 Gregory is offered to help. 04:08.500 --> 04:15.500 So I'm working on setting up some stuff to make it a little more easy to work with. 04:15.500 --> 04:17.500 See what else we've been doing. 04:17.500 --> 04:19.500 Oh, here's something. 04:19.500 --> 04:22.500 Actually, I'll talk about that in a second when I get to iPodder. 04:22.500 --> 04:26.500 First I want to do a request song that came in from... 04:28.500 --> 04:33.500 Ray, I think it was, yeah, it was Ray Slakinsky. 04:33.500 --> 04:35.500 I think I hope I pronounced that right. 04:35.500 --> 04:40.500 Ray, I think he got me started on some bit torrent stuff. 04:40.500 --> 04:41.500 He wrote a Python script. 04:41.500 --> 04:44.500 I believe he's the author of Nucleus, which to this day, 04:44.500 --> 04:48.500 I still have running up on my cloud in the server space 04:48.500 --> 04:48.500 somewhere. 04:48.500 --> 04:52.500 It just scans the supernova bit torrent files 04:52.500 --> 04:54.500 for certain keywords. 04:54.500 --> 04:57.500 If it finds one, then it pulls it in, 04:57.500 --> 04:59.500 and then it downloads the file from the bit torrent. 04:59.500 --> 05:01.500 And then, of course, also lets me know. 05:01.500 --> 05:03.500 It notifies me that there's something new. 05:03.500 --> 05:05.500 So that's how I get all my recent TV shows, 05:05.500 --> 05:07.500 my American TV shows. 05:07.500 --> 05:09.500 And he requested. 05:09.500 --> 05:12.500 He's also obviously involved in a lot of iPod development. 05:12.500 --> 05:14.500 And he said, dude, why don't you 05:14.500 --> 05:16.500 play this song by Julia Hatfield? 05:16.500 --> 05:20.500 Because this song happens to be about sticking it to the man. 05:20.500 --> 05:22.500 I can just hear Dave Slusher. 05:22.500 --> 05:24.500 His ears are perking up there in Carolina. 05:24.500 --> 05:24.500 Wait a minute. 05:24.500 --> 05:27.500 We're sticking it to the music man, to the music business. 05:27.500 --> 05:30.500 So let's just get a little vibe going. 05:30.000 --> 05:35.000 here on this Tuesday on the SuperSource Code with Julie Hatfield. This is Sell Out! 05:36.250 --> 09:08.750 [ Music ] 09:16.500 --> 09:21.500 Right on. This is the Daily Source Code. I'm Adam Curry. Glad to have you along for the ride. 09:21.500 --> 09:29.500 Okay. A couple more notes about iPodder. If you've been following along with the developments on iPodder.org, 09:29.500 --> 09:34.500 I'm happy to let you know that we have three new Windows versions coming out 09:34.500 --> 09:40.500 that will work with a variety of MP3 players and playlist management systems. 09:40.500 --> 09:45.500 The installs, I've been beta testing some of the installs look really, really good. 09:45.500 --> 09:49.500 System tray icons, all the stuff you'd expect as a Windows user 09:49.500 --> 09:53.500 and I've actually broken out the Windows laptop to try and figure, 09:53.500 --> 09:57.500 try and install them and see what they're doing. The Java version is pretty cool too. 09:57.500 --> 10:02.500 I mean, it's just so much. But what it all comes down to when we've discussed this 10:02.500 --> 10:08.500 on the iPodder development list is making sure that users get that first, oh wow, experience. 10:08.500 --> 10:14.500 And I've had some varying results in the past, well in the past couple of weeks. 10:14.500 --> 10:17.500 Basically, I've heard a lot of this banter going on saying, well you want your... 10:21.000 --> 10:22.000 mom to be able to figure it out. 10:22.000 --> 10:23.000 And that of course is true. 10:23.000 --> 10:24.000 So it's all about the defaults. 10:24.000 --> 10:30.000 And one thing that we've kind of been sloundering around with is what happens when you first 10:30.000 --> 10:33.000 install an iPod or what is the first experience. 10:33.000 --> 10:39.000 Currently, we've whittled it down to you subscribe to a feed or a couple of feeds and 10:39.000 --> 10:43.000 it's going to go and get the first couple of shows on the first pass round. 10:43.000 --> 10:47.000 Just so you're not plugging up your machine or you're bandwidth, you're getting some 10:47.000 --> 10:49.000 joy at that first moment. 10:49.000 --> 10:51.000 You're like, oh well, it's working. 10:51.000 --> 10:54.000 But we thought this through a little bit more and after some conversation on the 10:54.000 --> 10:59.000 list and also some requests came in through email is for a default feed and 10:59.000 --> 11:01.000 a default file. 11:01.000 --> 11:03.000 Now just hack something together, which is going to have to live with for now. 11:03.000 --> 11:05.000 I'm not really happy with the URL, but we're going to. 11:07.500 --> 11:12.500 to come off of iPodder.org so that it's identifiable as the default feed. 11:12.500 --> 11:18.500 So essentially, if you're developing an iPodder right now, you put this feed in as your default 11:18.500 --> 11:23.500 subscription to give the users an idea of what a URL looks like. 11:23.500 --> 11:28.500 It'll end in .xml, which of course not all RSS feeds do. 11:28.500 --> 11:31.500 But when you see it, it's a little easier to visualize. 11:31.500 --> 11:34.500 And the feed basically will just sit there and be dormant. 11:34.500 --> 11:35.500 It only has one file in it. 11:35.500 --> 11:37.500 So that means it's going to bring in that file. 11:37.500 --> 11:38.500 It's half a meg. 11:40.500 --> 11:43.500 to get pretty much instant joy as a user. 11:43.500 --> 11:44.500 And well, I'll do that. 11:44.500 --> 11:45.500 Actually, I have it right here. 11:45.500 --> 11:47.500 I'm just going to play the default welcome 11:47.500 --> 11:53.500 that you will get whenever you flip open an iPod or upon a first install. 11:53.500 --> 11:56.500 And if you have any ideas about how to make this better, 11:56.500 --> 11:59.500 I just try to keep it short to the point as simple. 11:59.500 --> 12:00.500 It's surely let me know. 12:00.500 --> 12:03.500 So once you install iPod or if you hear the following, 12:03.500 --> 12:05.500 you know that it worked. 12:05.500 --> 12:06.500 Hi, I'm Adam Curry. 12:06.500 --> 12:09.500 Welcome to the iPod platform. 12:09.500 --> 12:11.500 Hearing this message means you have successfully installed 12:11.500 --> 12:15.500 iPod on your computer and you should see a new playlist 12:15.500 --> 12:20.500 on your MP3 player titled iPod test channel containing this file. 12:20.500 --> 12:25.500 You now can add any URL that points to an RSS feed with enclosures 12:25.500 --> 12:29.500 to automatically receive new podcasts by subscription. 12:29.500 --> 12:33.500 You can use iPod.org as your guide to new software, news, 12:33.500 --> 12:36.500 and pointers to new podcast directories and services. 12:36.500 --> 12:39.500 We really hope you enjoy receiving and creating your podcasts. 12:39.500 --> 12:41.500 And please remember, this stuff's supposed to be... 12:42.000 --> 12:46.000 fun. So enjoy. Right. And I'm going to take the stick out of my ass. All right. There we 12:46.000 --> 12:50.000 go. So anyway, it's just a, it's a placeholder now. And if we come up with a better script 12:50.000 --> 12:56.000 or I'm not too happy with, you know, the, the just briefly passing over an RSS URL, 12:56.000 --> 13:00.000 you know, is it, is it simple enough? Will people, will people get it? Do you need any 13:00.000 --> 13:05.000 kind of knowledge of RSS? I'll tell you a lot of the journalists that I spoke to hadn't 13:05.000 --> 13:08.000 actually used the news aggregator. They've heard of it. You know, they're working 13:08.000 --> 13:13.000 on it. Yeah, I want to test that at home. One of them, I think it was the reporter 13:13.000 --> 13:17.000 from Daniel, the reporter from Wired. He was using newsgator. So he was, you know, 13:17.000 --> 13:20.000 very advanced and he knew that it synced up with this machine at home and the 13:20.000 --> 13:25.000 machine at office, at the office. So there's all different levels, but I want 13:25.000 --> 13:29.000 to make it as simple as possible. And maybe we need more fanfare and, and, and 13:29.000 --> 13:33.000 some fun stuff or more production. But at any rate, now we have a default 13:34.000 --> 13:39.000 feed. And if you want me to change that or change, you know, if you think there's any 13:39.000 --> 13:43.000 ideas for the MP3, the first welcome MP3. And I think we can do better. 13:43.500 --> 13:46.500 better. But just let me know. This is just a placeholder for now. 13:46.500 --> 13:51.500 Okay, I already mentioned that I'm updating the show's directory. 13:51.500 --> 13:55.500 Just a couple of pages I found around the net. 13:55.500 --> 13:59.500 I'm going to go to this now, I hope. Let's see. 13:59.500 --> 14:04.500 Russell Beatty wrote a pretty, and of course as you saw from 14:04.500 --> 14:08.500 yesterday's show, I'm now linking to all these resources that I'm talking about 14:08.500 --> 14:15.500 source code. And he wrote quite a nice bit about podcasting. 14:15.500 --> 14:19.500 Let's see if I want to get a quote from here. 14:19.500 --> 14:23.500 Now what he's basically saying is he's identifying something 14:23.500 --> 14:27.500 I think I feel happening as well. Is it going to be the MP3 player 14:27.500 --> 14:30.500 or is it going to be your mobile phone? And I think that they're 14:30.500 --> 14:35.500 two sides of the same coin. We have MP3 players doing a beautiful job 14:35.500 --> 14:39.500 playing and organizing MP3s and mobility and battery life. 14:39.500 --> 14:45.500 And we have this basically this asynchronous... 14:45.000 --> 14:47.000 where you connect your iPod to your machine 14:47.000 --> 14:51.000 and it updates with new stuff thanks to iPod or whatever 14:51.000 --> 14:53.000 you know, whatever you downloaded and paid for 14:53.000 --> 14:55.000 if it comes to music it will also 14:55.000 --> 14:57.000 automatically sync up your machine. 14:57.000 --> 15:01.000 And of course what the iPod is screening for 15:01.000 --> 15:03.000 is some type of connectivity that is wireless. 15:03.000 --> 15:05.000 So I can fully see that being Bluetooth, 15:05.000 --> 15:09.000 I can see it being WiFi, but also I could see it being 15:09.000 --> 15:11.000 third generation cell network. 15:11.000 --> 15:15.000 Could be UMTS or GPRS or ABC Element OP 15:15.000 --> 15:17.000 whatever the hell all these acronyms are for 15:19.000 --> 15:22.000 because a lot of cell phones now have MP3 players inside. 15:23.000 --> 15:25.000 And I think that this is all just a function 15:25.000 --> 15:27.000 of what kind of iPod or software do you need? 15:27.000 --> 15:32.000 It seems to me that most handheld devices these days 15:32.000 --> 15:33.000 are a lot of them are running Java. 15:33.000 --> 15:36.000 So I think the Java iPod or development 15:36.000 --> 15:40.000 is gonna be really important for cell phones. 15:40.000 --> 15:44.000 Their storage capacity is growing but leaps and bounds 15:44.000 --> 15:46.000 whether it's a... 15:49.500 --> 15:55.500 half a gig now. I have a half a gig of my camera which fits happily in my cell phone. 15:55.500 --> 16:01.500 Granted, the OS, just the power of the process, takes a little while to create a directory 16:01.500 --> 16:04.500 listing everything that's on the card, but it does work. And you can certainly store 16:04.500 --> 16:09.500 stuff on it. And what a cell phone does really well is connectivity. It's good at roaming, 16:09.500 --> 16:14.500 it's good at picking stuff up, and it can be made intelligent to grab stuff off of the 16:14.500 --> 16:22.500 network during off-peak hours. There's just all kinds of all kinds of ways to do that. 16:22.500 --> 16:27.500 And I think that that's why iPod.org is going to be important for quite a while now 16:27.500 --> 16:29.500 because this is 16:31.500 --> 16:32.500 I've got this type of device. 16:32.500 --> 16:36.500 I want to get my podcasts on it automatically. 16:36.500 --> 16:37.500 How do we make this happen? 16:37.500 --> 16:39.500 So that is the resource for you. 16:39.500 --> 16:44.500 And Russell is saying that he thinks, and I got to agree to a certain extent, that he 16:44.500 --> 16:47.500 feels that cell phones will get there quicker than the rest. 16:49.500 --> 16:51.500 Hi, hon. 16:51.500 --> 16:53.500 Bring me a candle. 16:53.500 --> 16:55.500 Thank you. 16:55.500 --> 16:57.500 Aromatherapy? 16:57.500 --> 16:59.500 Relaxing. 16:59.500 --> 17:01.500 What? Don't stick them where? 17:01.500 --> 17:03.500 Those, those batteries. 17:03.500 --> 17:05.500 Uh-huh. Thank you. 17:05.500 --> 17:07.500 Go to Sada. 17:07.500 --> 17:09.500 Yeah, yeah. 17:09.500 --> 17:11.500 Patricia just came home from doing grocery shopping. 17:11.500 --> 17:13.500 And she's totally into the production chain now. 17:13.500 --> 17:15.500 She brought me two 9 volt batteries because I seem to eat a lot of food. 17:15.500 --> 17:17.500 Thank you. 17:21.000 --> 17:22.000 And I said, please go get him. 17:22.000 --> 17:23.000 And well, she told me where I could put him. 17:23.000 --> 17:24.000 And you know what? 17:24.000 --> 17:26.000 The sun don't shine. 17:26.000 --> 17:31.000 Anyway, also had a, let's see, there was a, 17:31.000 --> 17:33.000 Scobal had an interesting post, Robert Scobal from Microsoft, 17:33.000 --> 17:36.000 who was also becoming, you know, really quite a cheerleader 17:36.000 --> 17:39.000 in all of the stuff. 17:39.000 --> 17:41.000 Hold on a second. 17:41.000 --> 17:41.000 I can find it. 17:41.000 --> 17:45.000 Well, basically there was a conversation about iPods 17:45.000 --> 17:48.000 with Steve Ballmer of Microsoft. 17:48.000 --> 17:55.000 And I'll point to this as a part of the post for this podcast. 17:55.000 --> 17:58.000 Scobal pointed out a lot of that conversation 17:58.000 --> 17:59.000 and there's a transcript of it. 17:59.000 --> 18:03.000 And well, I guess the bottom line is, you know, all, 18:03.000 --> 18:05.000 everyone who uses an iPod as a pirate, right? 18:05.000 --> 18:06.000 You're a thief. 18:06.000 --> 18:09.000 That's kind of the gist of it. 18:09.000 --> 18:11.000 And Scobal says, whoa, wait a minute. 18:11.000 --> 18:12.000 You know, hold on. 18:12.000 --> 18:13.000 That just ain't true. 18:13.000 --> 18:15.000 Or at least he posted about this. 18:15.000 --> 18:17.000 And because what we're doing with these podcasts, you know, 18:17.000 --> 18:21.000 bar the music rights that we may or may not be infringing upon, 18:21.000 --> 18:22.000 which is easily solved by not. 18:22.500 --> 18:25.500 doing that, the content of the message is in the message, right? 18:25.500 --> 18:27.500 But that's also solvable, I think. 18:27.500 --> 18:29.500 You should be able to license that. 18:29.500 --> 18:31.500 We've talked about that before. 18:31.500 --> 18:34.500 But the one thing I'm really happy about is because I played a bit from the Gilmore Gang 18:34.500 --> 18:35.500 yesterday. 18:35.500 --> 18:40.500 The Gilmore Gang actually is posted now, so I don't feel too bad about previewing a 18:40.500 --> 18:44.500 bit on yesterday's source code before the show was even up. 18:44.500 --> 18:48.500 I think it was Steve Gilmore talking about Scoble pulling stuff out of his ass and 18:48.500 --> 18:50.500 being such a supporter of this stuff. 18:50.500 --> 18:53.500 And I said, yeah, you never underestimate the bandwidth of Scoble's ass. 18:53.500 --> 18:56.500 Well, apparently he almost crashed while he heard that. 18:56.500 --> 18:57.500 I got to be careful. 18:57.500 --> 19:00.500 I should say warning, I'm going to talk about you now. 19:00.500 --> 19:01.500 Be careful. 19:01.500 --> 19:02.500 Put down your coffee. 19:02.500 --> 19:02.500 Don't be dreaming. 19:02.500 --> 19:05.500 Don't be driving a car. 19:05.500 --> 19:11.500 Yesterday I had Hugo Schottmann on the show just briefly. 19:11.500 --> 19:14.500 And I do want to hook up with him later this week or maybe over the weekend. 19:14.500 --> 19:20.500 Hugo is really leading the charge in a lot of the set ups of how we get our audio working. 19:20.500 --> 19:22.500 And we need more help. 19:22.500 --> 19:23.500 We need people. 19:24.000 --> 19:31.000 who were doing podcasting on Windows to send in screenshots, advice, just give me a URL 19:31.000 --> 19:39.000 to point to because it's such a small percentage and I'm now even getting the questions, well, 19:39.000 --> 19:44.000 if I just get a Mac, will that solve all of my production issues? 19:44.000 --> 19:52.000 And no, in fact, I think it should be just as easy if not remembering a little bit of 19:52.000 --> 19:58.000 how the PC architecture works, maybe even easier. It's just all kind of hidden within Windows. 19:58.000 --> 20:02.000 Not that it's not, you know, that it's not hidden within a Macintosh, but in Windows you have a 20:02.000 --> 20:08.000 little mixer panel and I know that you can you can mix and match audio feeds because I've done it, 20:08.000 --> 20:14.000 I've done this before on Windows. So we really need some help on that. And while we're on that 20:14.000 --> 20:19.000 topic, Rogamiba software who makes Audio Hijack Pro for the Mac and as they say themselves, 20:19.000 --> 20:24.000 have no plans on porting to Windows, I think they're pretty close for the Mac, you know, 20:25.500 --> 20:31.500 close on understanding what we need and they've got a weblog, I don't know if it's the head 20:31.500 --> 20:39.500 of development but there's a weblog at rogomeba.com which of course will also point to. 20:39.500 --> 20:43.500 We just got to keep the conversation going because they're the guys for the Macintosh 20:43.500 --> 20:44.500 that can make this happen. 20:46.500 --> 20:53.500 Something else and I really want to you know put a big shout out to the Skype Skype developers team. 20:53.500 --> 20:57.500 We're working on Skype for Mac OS I think we're now at beta. 21:00.000 --> 21:01.000 Let's check. 21:01.000 --> 21:03.000 I have it running here. 21:03.000 --> 21:07.000 Where beta, come on, about Skype. 21:07.000 --> 21:10.000 What does it say? 21:10.000 --> 21:14.000 Beta 0.10.0.1. 21:14.000 --> 21:16.000 Right on. 21:16.000 --> 21:20.000 You know, so obviously I'm not complaining too much because it is working 21:20.000 --> 21:26.000 and by far it has the best sound quality far and above iChat, AV with AIM, 21:26.000 --> 21:29.000 far and above the X10 stuff. 21:29.000 --> 21:33.000 Skype really has the quality going and they seem to be able to keep 21:33.000 --> 21:35.000 the connection a little bit longer. 21:35.000 --> 21:39.000 But if we need to get to the developers of Skype, I don't know, 21:39.000 --> 21:43.000 I'm sure on PC it's a little more advanced. 21:43.000 --> 21:46.000 It was born on the Windows platform. 21:46.000 --> 21:50.000 But for the Mac there's only one thing we need to make it the, 21:50.000 --> 21:55.000 well two things, to make it the perfect application for enhancing 21:55.000 --> 21:57.000 a podcast and doing a little bit more. 21:57.000 --> 22:02.000 The main thing is we need to be able to switch 22:01.500 --> 22:03.500 audio devices that the application uses. 22:03.500 --> 22:08.500 Now this is, I know it's, and none of the, I'm sure none of this is trivial, you know, 22:08.500 --> 22:12.500 when I just want to make one little thing happen in my iPod or script, it took me two weeks. 22:12.500 --> 22:18.500 I broke everything and overwrote old code and, you know, it's, by no means trivial. 22:19.500 --> 22:26.500 But a lot of Mac applications that use the core audio driver allow you to select between 22:26.500 --> 22:31.500 different audio devices. So where you can, on the built-in audio device, you can select between 22:32.500 --> 22:39.500 the default or line in or your built-in microphone. But I can also choose a virtual audio device, 22:39.500 --> 22:44.500 like Soundflower, which we talked about, or an external one, like the DigiDesign breakout box. 22:44.500 --> 22:49.500 But Skype doesn't allow you to set those preferences. And I think that it's, well, 22:49.500 --> 22:53.500 from a development standpoint, what needs to be done is those hooks need to be put in, 22:53.500 --> 22:59.500 so that you can select that in the preferences. Once we do that, you know, then, first of all, 22:59.500 --> 23:03.500 it'd be a lot more stable because high-jacking applications. 23:03.000 --> 23:09.000 applications and then adding applications to it that really aren't talking to the sound 23:09.000 --> 23:15.000 drivers in the same way, just like Skype does currently, makes for shit to happen. 23:15.000 --> 23:22.000 It crashes, it can just disappear, sometimes it gets really slow and buggy, and logging 23:22.000 --> 23:26.000 may even be on for all I know within the beta client. 23:26.000 --> 23:30.000 But if we have any way to get in touch with the developers, let me know, because 23:30.000 --> 23:31.000 we need their help. 23:32.000 --> 23:36.000 And we can make their product better. 23:36.000 --> 23:41.000 And add to that the ability to conference two calls together. 23:41.000 --> 23:45.000 And then we're really talking, because with Skype out, you can basically make a 23:45.000 --> 23:48.000 phone call anywhere in the world for about four or five cents a minute. 23:48.000 --> 23:54.000 And the quality is equal to actually sometimes, because you're just calling 23:54.000 --> 23:56.000 a landline phone, it's a little bit worse than if you're calling someone directly. 23:56.000 --> 24:00.000 What I'd like to do is I'd like to be able to make a Skype call with Dave, 24:00.000 --> 24:04.000 for instance, that'll be a direct Skype call, no phone system in between. 24:04.500 --> 24:09.500 And then like the conference in, another person or a phone call, you know, if we could add 24:09.500 --> 24:14.500 one or two more lines to Skype then it would be great. 24:14.500 --> 24:18.500 So any help that we can get on that is way appreciated. 24:18.500 --> 24:23.500 Did you know that there's a new movie coming out about the life and times of Peter Sellers? 24:23.500 --> 24:29.500 I saw one of the actors, a couple of the actors were on a late night talk show in England 24:29.500 --> 24:30.500 while we were there over the weekend. 24:30.500 --> 24:33.500 And it looks like a great movie. 24:33.500 --> 24:36.500 And while I was thinking of that and just running through the iTunes playlist today, 24:36.500 --> 24:42.500 I bumped across something that is classic Peter Sellers in reminiscence of the Beatles that 24:42.500 --> 24:44.500 we played on Trade Secrets the other day. 24:44.500 --> 24:47.500 Here's Peter doing his rendition of She Loves You. 24:47.500 --> 24:48.500 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 24:52.500 --> 24:54.500 This is the end of the video. 24:54.500 --> 24:56.500 Thank you for watching. 25:16.500 --> 25:21.500 I have made several experiments and I have come to this conclusion. 25:21.500 --> 25:22.500 So? 25:22.500 --> 25:26.500 You think that you have lost your love? 25:26.500 --> 25:29.500 Well, I saw her yesterday. 25:29.500 --> 25:35.500 It is you that she is thinking of and she has helped me ever to say. 25:35.500 --> 25:37.500 She says she loves you. 25:37.500 --> 25:37.500 Yeah! 25:37.500 --> 25:38.500 Yeah? 25:40.500 --> 25:40.500 Yo! 25:40.500 --> 25:41.500 Ya! 25:41.500 --> 25:41.500 Ya! 25:41.500 --> 25:42.500 Ya! 25:42.500 --> 25:42.500 Ya! 25:42.500 --> 25:43.500 Ya! 25:43.500 --> 25:44.500 She loves you! 25:44.500 --> 25:44.500 Ya! 25:44.500 --> 25:45.500 Ya! 25:45.500 --> 25:46.500 Ya! 25:46.500 --> 25:46.500 Ya! 25:46.500 --> 25:47.500 Ya! 25:47.500 --> 25:47.500 Ya! 25:47.500 --> 25:49.500 Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! 25:49.500 --> 25:50.500 Ha! 25:50.500 --> 25:51.500 He said, 25:51.500 --> 25:53.500 You hurt her so! 25:53.500 --> 25:54.500 Good! 25:54.500 --> 25:57.500 She almost lost her mind! 25:57.500 --> 25:59.500 Good job! 25:59.500 --> 26:02.500 And now she says, 26:02.500 --> 26:06.500 She knows that you're not the hurting kind. 26:06.500 --> 26:08.500 She says she loves you. 26:08.500 --> 26:09.500 Ya! 26:09.500 --> 26:09.500 Ya! 26:09.500 --> 26:10.500 Ya! 26:10.500 --> 26:10.500 Ya! 26:10.500 --> 26:12.500 She loves you! 26:12.500 --> 26:12.500 Ya! 26:12.500 --> 26:13.500 Ya! 26:13.500 --> 26:14.500 Ya! 26:14.500 --> 26:16.500 She loves you! 26:16.500 --> 26:16.500 Ya! 26:16.500 --> 26:17.500 Ya! 26:17.500 --> 26:18.500 Ya! 26:18.500 --> 26:19.500 Ya! 26:19.500 --> 26:21.500 You know, 26:21.500 --> 26:24.500 It's up to you. 26:24.500 --> 26:26.500 I think that it's only fair. 26:26.500 --> 26:29.500 I can hurt you too. 26:31.500 --> 26:33.500 She loves you 26:52.500 --> 26:54.500 BOOF BOOF BOOF 26:55.500 --> 26:58.500 Alright, Peter Sellers, she loves you. 26:58.500 --> 27:01.500 Yeah, yeah, yeah, here on the source code, 27:01.500 --> 27:02.500 and only a version that Peter Sellers... 27:06.000 --> 27:09.000 some tunes, because hey, it's Tuesday. 27:09.000 --> 27:12.000 It's like it's the day when we kind of are getting over Monday, you know, just getting 27:12.000 --> 27:14.000 to the vibe of things. 27:14.000 --> 27:16.000 Grace Jones pull up to the bumper. 27:18.750 --> 30:08.750 [ Music ] 30:13.000 --> 30:18.000 The minute a little break happened, you like crank up the volume, I did that on my laptop 30:18.000 --> 30:21.000 Damn if I didn't fuck up the reporting 30:24.000 --> 30:28.000 If Jones pull up to the bumper, baby, and drag it straight into Queens on the source code, 30:28.000 --> 30:29.000 so that's lesson learned. 30:29.000 --> 30:33.000 Do not turn up the volume on your Macintosh while doing a podcast. 30:33.000 --> 30:34.000 So many things that... 30:34.000 --> 30:38.000 There are times when I just say, screw it, I want to get all my mixing equipment out, 30:38.000 --> 30:42.000 all my outboard gear and just only use the computer to record it. 30:42.000 --> 30:43.000 I get as far as... 30:43.000 --> 30:47.000 I go to the closet and I'm going to open this up and get all my gear out because I 30:47.000 --> 30:48.000 know it's going to be perfect. 30:48.000 --> 30:50.000 I say, no, we've got to figure out how to make this work. 30:50.000 --> 30:51.000 We are very close. 30:51.000 --> 30:52.000 We're getting a lot better. 30:52.000 --> 30:54.000 I've got the next trade secrets that I do with Dave. 30:54.000 --> 30:57.000 I hope to have a good Skype quality call. 30:57.000 --> 30:58.000 So we're working on all of this test. 30:58.000 --> 31:03.000 By the way, thanks to Tom from Down Under for the Peter Sellers Hard Days Night link. 31:03.000 --> 31:05.000 He sent me that one. 31:05.000 --> 31:11.000 Tom also, by the way, has been following my radio career since the early 80s. 31:11.000 --> 31:15.000 Even at the Pirate Radio Station, I was working at an Amsterdam. 31:15.000 --> 31:23.000 I had a radio show which started around 83, 84, which I did with a partner called Curry 31:23.000 --> 31:24.000 and Van Inkel. 31:24.000 --> 31:25.000 His name was Van Inkel, of course. 31:25.500 --> 31:30.500 And, you know, we did hundreds of hours of radio and I have hundreds of... 31:31.500 --> 31:38.500 of skimmer tapes and the skimmer tape is basically when you're on the air live and you crack 31:38.500 --> 31:41.500 the microphone then it starts recording and these are all cassette supports, that was 31:41.500 --> 31:42.500 the technology of the day. 31:42.500 --> 31:47.500 Really basically just a micro switch, you open up the fader on your mixing board or 31:47.500 --> 31:52.500 you open up that channel and it clicks the pause switch and it starts to record the 31:52.500 --> 31:57.500 air signal so that after the show you can go back and listen to yourself and listen 31:57.500 --> 32:02.500 to if you sucked or not, which of course we all think we sucked and that's a skimmer 32:02.500 --> 32:05.500 tape and that's also an air check tape which you'll hand to the next program 32:05.500 --> 32:09.500 director down the line say hey here's my stuff that I did on station A. 32:12.000 --> 32:16.000 And what Tom has done, he's jumped on the iPodder wagon. 32:16.000 --> 32:21.000 And he is, and I added it to the directory, to the iPodder.org shows directory, 32:21.000 --> 32:23.000 and it's much more for my benefit. 32:23.000 --> 32:29.000 But he's put his entire archive, he's loading that up into RSS files, which is great. 32:29.000 --> 32:32.000 And I'm sending him two boxes of tapes as we're about to move. 32:32.000 --> 32:33.000 I'm so happy I can do this. 32:33.000 --> 32:37.000 I'm sending it off to Australia, and he's going to digitize all that. 32:37.000 --> 32:39.000 And I guess he's going to put those on the feed as well. 32:39.000 --> 32:45.000 So that's just another perfect use of this kind of technology. 32:45.000 --> 32:50.000 If you do a show, if you do a live radio show, you're working at a quote real radio station, 32:50.000 --> 32:54.000 then get an MP3 archive going, and just add that to your RSS feed so 32:54.000 --> 32:57.000 that you can expand your listenership overnight. 32:57.000 --> 33:01.000 Just briefly talking about a couple more things we could use. 33:01.000 --> 33:04.000 If you're thinking about doing a podcast, and really a podcast, 33:04.000 --> 33:07.000 it sounds like we're doing all this difficult stuff. 33:07.000 --> 33:11.000 But if you have the balls to record your own voice, then you're already there. 33:11.000 --> 33:13.000 And you can do that on almost any computer today. 33:13.500 --> 33:16.500 You don't have to get fancy with mixing in songs and tunes. 33:16.500 --> 33:20.500 You can even sit in your car and play something on the CD radio. 33:20.500 --> 33:25.500 Car is great because you sit in your car while it's not moving preferably. 33:25.500 --> 33:28.500 You've got a closed sound environment. 33:28.500 --> 33:30.500 You're mobile so if it's loud, where the ambient noise is loud, where you are, just 33:30.500 --> 33:31.500 don't... 33:33.000 --> 33:39.000 You've got a power supply, you can start recording, and you can use your CD player, you can use 33:39.000 --> 33:46.000 your cassette player, you could use your MP3 player connected to your car stereo, and just 33:46.000 --> 33:46.000 put a mic... 33:49.500 --> 33:50.500 It'll work. 33:50.500 --> 33:52.500 It'll be a little, it's a hack, but it'll work. 33:52.500 --> 33:53.500 And I've heard people do it. 33:53.500 --> 33:58.500 But more importantly, if there's anything that you're an expert on, just like web logging, 33:58.500 --> 34:03.500 if you do a top five stock picks of the day, record it. 34:03.500 --> 34:07.500 And if you don't know how to make an RSS 2.0 feed out of it, let me know. 34:07.500 --> 34:09.500 We'll try and help you out. 34:09.500 --> 34:12.500 Or just join the mailing list. 34:12.500 --> 34:13.500 Just check out iPodder.org. 34:13.500 --> 34:15.500 We're happy to help. 34:15.500 --> 34:16.500 Short is good. 34:16.500 --> 34:18.500 Short stuff is really good. 34:18.500 --> 34:20.500 I'd love to have just a little quote of the day. 34:20.500 --> 34:24.500 You know, if someone could do one quote of the day, there's lots of quotes of the day services, 34:24.500 --> 34:25.500 but they're all text based. 34:25.500 --> 34:27.500 So here's something you could do. 34:27.500 --> 34:28.500 You wouldn't have to write. 34:28.500 --> 34:33.500 All you have to do is every single day just record these two lines and then whoever the 34:33.500 --> 34:34.500 quote was by. 34:34.500 --> 34:38.500 And it'd be nice if you could post the quote in text and link to the source or whatever 34:38.500 --> 34:40.500 if we wanted to have it. 34:40.500 --> 34:44.500 But those types of things I love to see on my playlist. 34:44.500 --> 34:45.500 A joke of the day. 34:45.500 --> 34:47.500 A stand up routine of the day. 34:48.500 --> 34:49.500 These things really work. 34:49.500 --> 34:50.500 Why do you think David Letterman's talk... 34:51.000 --> 34:53.000 top 10 list is so phenomenal. 34:53.000 --> 34:57.000 By the way, Dave, if you're listening, Dave Letterman, 34:57.000 --> 34:59.000 give us the top 10 list. 34:59.000 --> 35:02.000 Cut an audio recording of that and make a feed 35:02.000 --> 35:03.000 so we can listen to it every day. 35:03.000 --> 35:04.000 We love the top 10 list. 35:09.000 --> 35:11.000 I shouldn't have worked on the iPod platform. 35:11.000 --> 35:12.000 I think it will. 35:12.000 --> 35:13.000 Okay, one more thing I picked up. 35:13.000 --> 35:15.000 This is in the Equal Airtime Department. 35:15.000 --> 35:18.000 I picked up from the Blog Digger Media Feed. 35:18.000 --> 35:22.000 We've done lots of songs and mixes about President Bush, 35:22.000 --> 35:25.000 so it's time for one about the next president 35:25.000 --> 35:27.000 of the United States, John Kerry. 35:28.750 --> 37:11.250 [ Music ] 37:19.500 --> 37:25.500 Flip, flopper and roll in the equal airtime segment on your daily source code. 37:25.500 --> 37:26.500 Hold on a second, phone is ringing. 37:26.500 --> 37:28.500 I'm expecting a call actually. 37:28.500 --> 37:32.500 So you know what, we're gonna leave it at that for today because I do have phone calls 37:32.500 --> 37:38.500 coming in and I'm gonna get this compressed and shoot it up to the server for consumption. 37:40.500 --> 37:43.500 If you want to
