00:00.000 --> 00:05.120
Before we get started, let me
remind you of the following
results or events predicted on
these things,

00:05.120 --> 00:08.000
namely, and materials from
actual results.

00:08.000 --> 00:12.800
The fact is that good cause
actual events results to differ
from expectations include

00:12.800 --> 00:16.080
lack of growth, intense
competition in our industry,

00:16.080 --> 00:19.840
integration failures, changes in
government regulations,

00:19.840 --> 00:22.640
operational failures, or looking
to England's representatives.

00:22.640 --> 00:24.720
All right, so with fully as of
today, it should not be

00:24.720 --> 00:28.160
like common representatives in
the death of any subsequent
days.

00:28.160 --> 00:32.400
While we name the like something
more than we say, it's a couple
in the future.

00:32.400 --> 00:35.600
We need to not give it a leave
in front of us, too.

00:40.240 --> 00:43.040
Augustine almost lies!

00:43.040 --> 00:44.240
Adam Curry!

00:44.240 --> 00:46.640
Our Lord of the Lord, give it to
us.

00:46.640 --> 00:49.360
We have to do a good morning,
good evening.

00:49.360 --> 00:51.920
Whenever it's applicable to your
body, the world,

00:51.920 --> 00:54.880
everybody inside of Curry this
is the daily source code.

00:54.880 --> 01:00.080
We're Tuesday November 2nd,
2004, coming to you from Curry
Castle,

01:00.080 --> 01:01.360
Flamper's Belgium.

01:01.360 --> 01:03.760
We're going to be for the next
two and a half weeks.

01:05.760 --> 01:11.280
Lord, give it to the movies in
an imminent imminent.

01:11.280 --> 01:13.440
It's coming up.

01:13.440 --> 01:15.440
This time, we got much to go
into about.

01:15.440 --> 01:17.440
We are almost out of here.

01:18.400 --> 01:23.680
Wow, what a completely fucked up
day we had here in the
Netherlands.

01:23.680 --> 01:28.800
Damn, this morning everyone was
kind of ready for the elections.

01:28.800 --> 01:32.720
Every single TV show here in the
Netherlands had called me and
asked me to be

01:32.720 --> 01:38.400
a guest on their show, which I
had at the time, because I just
did not feel like

01:38.400 --> 01:42.000
sitting on any TV show from
midnight till 6th.

01:42.000 --> 01:48.480
I would much rather kind of
watch it at home in the comfort
of my own home, you know.

01:50.480 --> 01:54.720
And so the morning started with
a whole bunch of phone calls
coming in around nine

01:54.720 --> 02:02.560
o'clock people saying that a
very well-known columnist
television host,

02:02.560 --> 02:09.360
interviewer, producer, director,
and also filmmaker, Dale Fahol,

02:09.360 --> 02:14.640
which you would put out as
algebraic set.

02:14.640 --> 02:21.840
Theo Van Gogh, and yes, he is a
descendant of any infamous and
famous Vincent Van Gogh.

02:23.200 --> 02:28.080
Was murdered today in Amsterdam
at about a quarter to nine.

02:28.960 --> 02:37.840
He was done down by a
semi-automatic fire and then
hacked with a knife, stabbed.

02:39.920 --> 02:46.560
The details are a bit sketchy
still, but some eyewitness
reports say his throat was cut,

02:47.920 --> 02:49.840
and a note was left on his body.

02:50.560 --> 02:54.880
And this happened right on the
street, not far from his home.

02:55.680 --> 03:00.960
And I think from what I could
see on the TV news, it looked
like the note was actually
pinned to

03:00.960 --> 03:07.040
his body with this butcher
knife. It was pretty shocking.
Let me tell you about Theo
Fahol.

03:07.680 --> 03:12.160
So you get a little bit of
perspective on this. This is one
of these people that you have in
society,

03:12.160 --> 03:19.440
usually associated with media
more than with politics, that
really color everything.

03:20.800 --> 03:27.680
And make the world just a little
bit more fun to live in because
these people are always
challenging

03:27.680 --> 03:33.520
the edges of everything. And
Theo Van Gogh's particular
challenge was always his freedom
of speech.

03:34.160 --> 03:42.240
And he exercised his right
continuously. And he was not
very well loved, although people
who knew him

03:43.600 --> 03:50.160
knew that he was a very, very,
very sweet man, a very loving
father.

03:52.560 --> 03:58.960
And in a way, he felt that this
was his role and the number one
issue that he'd been hammering
on

03:59.040 --> 04:09.840
for the past few years was how
the multicultural integration
process in the Netherlands has
failed.

04:11.440 --> 04:18.560
Country of 16 million people,
little over 16 million people in
an air and land mass smaller
than Rhode Island.

04:18.560 --> 04:34.000
And there's, I believe, 3
million Muslims of which a
number are radical extremists.

04:35.040 --> 04:43.200
And Theo was a guy who said,
look, we've got a problem
brewing here. The people know
it.

04:43.200 --> 04:49.680
The government is not
responding. Something has to be
done about this. This is
something also,

04:49.680 --> 04:54.720
by the way, that PIM4 times
said, you'll remember the
politician who was assassinated.
And he wasn't assassinated

04:54.720 --> 05:05.360
by or under the guise of some
religious geod. But that was
also one of his big mantras.

05:05.360 --> 05:13.040
And this was not a racist issue.
This is a pure issue of culture
clash that is just not

05:13.280 --> 05:20.000
driving within this country. I
mean, I wasn't here when there's
whole integration process
started,

05:20.000 --> 05:29.600
but they did not set it up
right. I think if you have
people who don't even speak the
language

05:29.600 --> 05:36.000
after having been here for seven
or eight years, it's hard for
them to integrate. Anyway,

05:36.000 --> 05:43.520
I don't want to get down into
the discussion of it all. But
Theo also was very vocal.

05:43.520 --> 05:47.600
And besides just being vocal in
television programs and he wrote
columns and newspapers,

05:48.480 --> 05:55.760
he also made movies. And he
recently did a movie with a
Dutch minister, a senator
minister.

05:55.760 --> 06:03.040
She's a member of parliament, a
Dutch parliament, here she is,
and she is a Muslim woman

06:03.680 --> 06:09.520
who is exercising her free
speech rights to criticize her
religion as long.

06:10.960 --> 06:17.120
And they did a movie together,
controversial movie, a short
film,

06:18.240 --> 06:23.600
which was basically about how
women are treated

06:24.000 --> 06:39.040
by or in the extremist believers
of Islam. Very complicated. But
there were some

06:39.040 --> 06:50.640
very profound statements in
that. And it just drove this
particular guy who killed Theo,

06:51.600 --> 07:00.240
it drove him to that point. And
from by all accounts, this was
totally a revenge murder for
what

07:00.240 --> 07:06.640
he had to say or his expressions
in this movie. And as you can
imagine in a country that speaks

07:06.640 --> 07:11.440
a language that doesn't work
anywhere else except for parts
of Belgium and South Africa.

07:11.440 --> 07:16.880
You know, we've got a very
tight, closed community, which
wants to be very open. And

07:16.880 --> 07:26.880
you know, there's a lot of shit
going on right now. So I didn't
know Theo very well.

07:28.640 --> 07:34.000
In fact, I met him, he invited
me to be on the television show
to be interviewed in a

07:34.000 --> 07:40.720
simultaneous interview with Lowe
de Valle, who's the, he's like
the head of all the labor
unions.

07:40.720 --> 07:44.720
You know, they always try to get
a contrast. So I guess I thought
I would be the capitalist pig
and he

07:44.800 --> 07:50.160
would be the labor union guy.
And we would, it turned out we
had a lot more in common than we
had

07:50.160 --> 07:57.760
differences. But Theo was
directing that show. And we
chatted before and after the
show.

07:57.760 --> 08:02.560
And we decided to meet up. And
we actually didn't meet only
about four days later, I looked
it

08:02.560 --> 08:09.040
up on my weblog. And it was a
great, you know, it came up to
the place in Amsterdam, to the
to the

08:09.040 --> 08:17.680
bunker. And we chatted about
everything from politics to,
well, I was interested in
getting him.

08:17.680 --> 08:25.520
He has a website. Theo from
Khach. But I wanted it really to
be, you know, more like a weblog

08:25.520 --> 08:29.520
structure. I was trying to help
him get an RSS feed up and
running, because he just, you
know,

08:29.520 --> 08:36.160
he needed more distribution. He
had something to say. He was a
blogger. And one thing we really

08:36.960 --> 08:43.760
different on a opinion on was
that he, he's a big bush
supporter and thought that bush
should

08:43.760 --> 08:47.760
definitely be re-elected. And
something that's interesting,
because I'm looking to watching
television

08:47.760 --> 08:52.160
hearing all kinds of
testimonials and he worked with
a lot of actors. And they all
said that he would

08:52.160 --> 08:56.960
always say to them, you know,
leave here, leave the
Netherlands, go somewhere else.
And it's funny

08:56.960 --> 09:01.120
because when we had that meeting
at the house, he said, what are
you doing here? Leave, go, go
back

09:01.120 --> 09:08.560
to America. This place is going
downhill. There's, you know,
there's no saving it. Boy, you
know,

09:08.560 --> 09:12.240
how stuff can can roll. Anyway,
I have a feeling you're probably
going to hear about this.

09:13.280 --> 09:18.160
It might, well, I'm sure, if it,
yeah, it's probably going to get
just totally buried because

09:18.160 --> 09:22.320
of election coverage. Otherwise,
it's something that would have
made, and made the news in the

09:22.320 --> 09:25.840
states. It made it around Europe
because, you know, it's like
show business. You know, it's a
thing

09:25.840 --> 09:32.240
this TV guy, filmmaker, getting
killed and what I consider to be
a pure jihadist action.

09:34.160 --> 09:42.000
So, I was just kind of really
weird. And, you know, everyone's
calling each other and just,

09:42.000 --> 09:50.240
you know, feeling really, really
funny about what happened.
However, we've got a show to do
here,

09:50.240 --> 09:56.240
ladies and gentlemen. So, let's
play a little bit of music that
is perhaps inappropriate for

09:56.240 --> 09:57.040
today's events.

10:03.750 --> 12:11.250
[ Music ]

12:21.250 --> 13:11.250
[ Music ]

13:13.360 --> 13:14.720
My joans from their album diyor

13:14.720 --> 13:17.200
Strongация

13:17.660 --> 13:23.600
And I've played mo jones before
on on the show and now in the
production notes as I'm using

13:23.600 --> 13:29.720
my still undeveloped and spiffy
new pod production console,
you'll be able to find a link

13:29.720 --> 13:36.960
to the Modions website which is
Modions.nl and also some
information about the album.

13:36.960 --> 13:44.080
I read something on scripting
news today about Dave was
talking about some blogging
tools

13:44.080 --> 13:51.920
that support enclosures and help
you put enclosures which
basically is an RSS 2.0 feed

13:52.000 --> 14:00.000
which is what a podcast feed is
all about and he suggested
making a sub-directory on
iPodor.org

14:00.000 --> 14:04.400
in the iPodor directory which
actually I think the site may be
down or maybe I'm having some

14:04.400 --> 14:11.120
DNS problems here. I'll have to
check that later. I'm making a
separate category which of
course

14:11.120 --> 14:19.600
is great because we want to help
people make podcasts and make
that as easy as possible. And

14:19.920 --> 14:27.120
and you know thinking about that
I can see that the aggregator
developers so the guys who make

14:27.120 --> 14:32.800
well as we're kind of popular
aggregators are out there that
are on the desktop certainly

14:32.800 --> 14:37.520
we've got net news wire for the
Mac. I hear a lot about news
gator and some other

14:40.080 --> 14:46.960
some other desktop-based
aggregators. So they're getting
into their waking up

14:47.840 --> 14:53.280
and the starting to see that
there's a part we go in on here
on the iPodor's developer list

14:53.280 --> 14:58.960
where users are and developers
party together and that we're
really achieving some awesome
things

15:00.800 --> 15:07.120
and they want to be a part of
that and I think that makes a
lot of sense actually but

15:08.800 --> 15:13.440
all the notes I've gotten so far
have been you know hey we we
support enclosures and this is

15:13.440 --> 15:20.080
what we do and I you know
basically I think to myself oh
yeah you know that's that's what
we were

15:20.080 --> 15:26.000
four or five years ago today
it's about making the connection
to well we're not really making
the

15:26.000 --> 15:32.480
connection to your iPodor MP3
player but we're making that
connection to to mainly iTunes
or the

15:32.480 --> 15:41.120
Windows Media Center so there's
a lot of intelligence a lot of
knowledge on the iPodor
developer list

15:42.080 --> 15:47.680
I believe here listening to the
developers podcast that Garth
Kidd puts together

15:48.240 --> 15:52.880
for the iPodor team iPodor
lemons what I call it

15:54.720 --> 16:00.800
that they're modularizing
everything and you know so it's
real easy I think to hop on
board here

16:02.000 --> 16:06.960
and you know we should put
together some kind of checklist
a day when I actually talked
about this

16:07.040 --> 16:13.200
when you check list of you know
what an iPodor actually has to
do and you know hurry on

16:13.200 --> 16:18.880
up because especially you
aggregator developers that
support OPML there's some cool
stuff happening

16:18.880 --> 16:25.200
with directories and flows and
and somehow we're going to be
able to patch this pod
production

16:25.200 --> 16:30.080
console system into that and
that's all going to be OPML I'm
totally convinced I'm drinking
the

16:30.080 --> 16:36.560
cool aid everybody so you know
you're welcome on board and you
know and let's see if we can

16:36.560 --> 16:41.280
that can help you out with with
the final steps because it seems
so trivial I know but it's
really

16:41.280 --> 16:47.040
it goes beyond just to get it in
closure onto the desktop it has
to get into iTunes or into

16:47.040 --> 16:54.880
some other media player that
will sync up with the mobile
devices and I got a call today
from

16:54.960 --> 17:01.840
Jennifer Khan from wired
magazine she's not she's a
science writer actually writes
about you know

17:02.960 --> 17:10.160
nanotechnology and and really
science geeky stuff and she's
doing an article on

17:10.160 --> 17:16.240
satellite radio which she she
says she knows nothing about and
I'm not quite sure because this

17:16.240 --> 17:20.240
wasn't really an interview about
pod casting although of course
you know me I convinced her that

17:20.240 --> 17:26.720
pod casting is the end all to be
all but before we got to that
you know she said you know

17:26.720 --> 17:30.880
so what is this what is this
satellite radio you know these
guys actually have a chance of

17:30.880 --> 17:37.360
making it will they be around
and as we were talking you know
and I was kind of making it up
as I

17:37.360 --> 17:42.080
went along and she was a really
it turned out to be a really
good discussion partner
particularly

17:42.080 --> 17:46.160
because she had no preconceived
notions and and really you said
she knew nothing about it so I
was

17:46.160 --> 17:51.040
able to kind of dig around in my
brain and use my radio
experience and we cope with a
couple of

17:51.040 --> 17:56.800
interesting angles and then as
you know as relating it to pod
casting all of a sudden and I
don't

17:56.800 --> 18:03.840
know if if I already had this
conversation with someone if it
was it it was probably with Dave
I'm

18:03.840 --> 18:11.520
not quite sure but it hit me you
know because I was talking about
how satellite radio basically
they

18:11.520 --> 18:15.760
have a limited spectrum as well
it's just limited by money but
you know so they can do 30
channels

18:15.840 --> 18:22.240
or whatever and they're
basically these channels are all
specialized and this is what
what Jennifer said she

18:22.240 --> 18:27.280
said you know I don't like half
the stuff that's on there this
you know it's like the new wave

18:27.280 --> 18:31.520
country crap I think is what she
said and I said you know I
actually I personally do like a
couple

18:31.520 --> 18:36.880
of the new wave country crap
things and I realized that we're
we're kind of both we're
approaching

18:36.880 --> 18:42.000
the same problem from different
directions where here's the
satellite radio guys who are

18:42.000 --> 18:49.840
beaming down a very expensive
signal with almost you know with
very limited content or at least

18:49.840 --> 18:54.480
the content is packers in such a
way that you almost want to
tevoize it you know so that you
can

18:54.480 --> 18:59.520
and in fact there are
applications out there now that
you record satellite radio and
then you know

18:59.520 --> 19:05.920
basically sort that and put it
into a playlist and and play it
on your MP3 player or play it
back

19:05.920 --> 19:11.200
through the through the digital
system in your car I said well
wait a minute wouldn't be really

19:11.280 --> 19:15.200
interesting think about what
what the satellite radio guys
could do because they're
basically

19:15.200 --> 19:20.480
they're just using bandwidth
right um they have seven
megabits or whatever and they
split that

19:20.480 --> 19:26.880
up so they can get an X number
of channels but it's coming down
to the your receiver digitally

19:26.880 --> 19:31.040
and these receivers are cheap
you know that's that's the
beauty of of what they're trying
to do

19:31.040 --> 19:35.840
is you know you can buy to the
supermarket and you know you
plug almost literally plug it
into your

19:35.840 --> 19:41.040
existing car stereo or you can
buy the top of the line
expensive you know model
whatever you want

19:41.680 --> 19:48.880
but they're just sending down
digital data now what if instead
of having the M&M channel which

19:48.880 --> 19:54.400
I'm sure is wonderful but you
know I'm sure there's a channel
that that they could give up
what if

19:54.400 --> 20:04.160
they decided to broadcast the
top podcasts you know or the top
10 podcasts it could actually be

20:04.160 --> 20:10.000
more I think about a 24 hour
period so let's say a couple of
shows or an hour you know you're

20:10.080 --> 20:15.840
probably looking at 30 30 shows
a day on one channel right
before you start to repeat

20:16.640 --> 20:25.600
and you basically sell a
receiver that will hook up to
your iPod and your iPod will
recognize

20:25.600 --> 20:29.520
these shows coming down the pipe
or shit maybe just records them
all you know whatever we'll get

20:29.520 --> 20:34.240
rid of it if we don't need it
because you know it's cheap but
think about if there's no
difference

20:34.320 --> 20:41.920
between getting your podcast
over the internet or receiving
it through a satellite radio
receiver

20:41.920 --> 20:46.960
but you know it could just be a
seamless process that's running
in the background anyway that so

20:46.960 --> 20:51.200
I I told Jennifer that you know
we shouldn't do this interview
we should go start a company
together

20:51.200 --> 20:56.160
and she thought that was funny
and then I invited a blogger con
I don't know she's gonna come

20:57.520 --> 21:02.400
moving along uh one a highlight
a couple of new podcasts today
and this is actually the third

21:02.480 --> 21:07.600
installment of this podcast but
it's been on my list to let you
hear a little bit of it

21:07.600 --> 21:14.240
it's from a guy named Scott
Lockman he lives in Tokyo and
well that's pretty apparent when
you

21:14.240 --> 21:15.200
listen to the show.

21:15.680 --> 21:33.200
oh this is Scott Lockman and
welcome to Tokyo calling for
Sunday October 31st you might

21:33.200 --> 21:38.480
call this the take to episode
yes indeed I've been working for
the last two hours trying to put

21:38.560 --> 21:44.720
together an episode I had 15
minutes of good stuff recorded
using the program audacity

21:44.720 --> 21:52.000
and the thing crashed and I had
not saved it beforehand so might
talk this one up for podcasting

21:52.800 --> 21:59.200
learning episode number one what
a bummer it was some pretty good
stuff and it is gone there

21:59.200 --> 22:04.000
oh dude you're gonna live
through so much more of that and
last you listen to me and get
yourself

22:04.000 --> 22:08.000
an external recording device
just for about a hundred you
live in Tokyo they're probably
about

22:08.080 --> 22:14.800
50 bucks over there just a
little flash based MP3 player
and you know 256 megabytes is
more than enough

22:14.800 --> 22:20.160
you can connect it up via USB
then every piece of sound you
can produce with your computer

22:20.160 --> 22:24.720
goes straight to the output if
you can hear it you're recording
it then you've got a total
solution

22:24.720 --> 22:29.520
it's a temp file somewhere and I
looked at it and it's about 60
different

22:30.080 --> 22:35.280
AU files all of them about one
megabyte in there and it would
take me more than another hour

22:35.280 --> 22:40.560
why does our density do that
together so it will just have to
be an episode that lives in my

22:40.560 --> 22:47.280
memory and one that is gone
anyhow I still feel the need to
get this out I want to do
something

22:47.280 --> 22:52.880
before I go to bed not make this
time spent a total wash I've
appreciated all of the

22:52.880 --> 22:58.560
comments that have come in
through the email this has been
a great pleasure for me to put

22:58.560 --> 23:04.080
Tokyo calling together okay so
there you go Tokyo calling you
can of course catch that through

23:04.080 --> 23:10.720
the ipodder.org directory and I
am putting in the links to it's
actually it's a good idea

23:10.720 --> 23:17.280
and it's at this time I console
you need to have the subscribe
here link uh wait until I
automate

23:17.280 --> 23:22.000
this thing it's going to be
awesome it's going to be so easy
to retrieve the source code if
you

23:22.000 --> 23:27.440
will to the daily source code
yep sucking on on exhaust again
oh and a member was telling

23:27.440 --> 23:31.520
about the Gilmore gang yesterday
how it totally ruined my weekend
there was no Gilmore gang alone

23:32.400 --> 23:38.720
okay Steve you win this is Doug
K the host and producer of IT
conversations and not just for
the

23:38.720 --> 23:44.400
sake of Steve Gilmore who has
been bugging me to get an audio
announcement out there
explaining that

23:44.400 --> 23:49.360
we didn't have a chance to do a
Gilmore gang this past week but
for all of the listeners who
have

23:49.360 --> 23:54.640
written and who have lost a lot
of sleep wondering where the
Gilmore gang was from Friday
October 29th

23:54.640 --> 23:59.280
the fact is that we had a
cancellation we couldn't put the
show together Steve did
everything in his

23:59.360 --> 24:04.320
power to get one together on
Saturday a pre-election edition
of the Gilmore gang but it just
wasn't

24:04.320 --> 24:09.120
meant to be so we'll do
everything we can to get you on
this coming Friday November 5th
it will of

24:09.120 --> 24:15.280
course be our first
post-election edition of the
Gilmore gang I'm Doug K the host
and producer of IT

24:15.280 --> 24:20.400
conversations and thanks for
listening see that that's cool
and actually I almost considered
doing one

24:20.400 --> 24:25.200
of those myself because it was
so late this is actually right
now it's oh shit it's three
minutes

24:25.200 --> 24:30.240
at two a.m. two minutes at two
clock just switched I'm going to
stay up a little bit and watch

24:30.240 --> 24:34.320
some of the election coverage
but I was considering doing the
little hey guys I'm going to

24:34.320 --> 24:40.240
watch the elections I'll catch
in a moral podcast but then I
said no no I've got to be there
for the

24:40.240 --> 24:48.000
gang and for people like Scott
Brenner hey Adam Scott I was
from Boulder Colorado I was
calling to

24:48.000 --> 24:55.040
turn you on to coverville.com
this guy Brian's doing a podcast
20 minute half hour podcast

24:55.040 --> 24:59.680
only doing cover songs pretty
interesting was really
interesting if you hadn't got an

24:59.680 --> 25:03.920
ask cap license told him exactly
what he's doing and they gave it
to him I thought you might

25:03.920 --> 25:11.040
cover that on your show and
maybe you'd be interested in
helping promote him so that ask
cap feels

25:11.040 --> 25:14.960
like oh this was smart for us to
give him the license we're
getting you know we're getting
paid

25:14.960 --> 25:21.600
and might help establish the
license as you know reasonable
that they're not going to six

25:21.600 --> 25:27.600
months go hey that's that's not
what we had in mind want to pull
that license just thought

25:28.640 --> 25:34.320
it's the Halloween edition of
coverville and I promise you not
once will I play the monster

25:34.320 --> 25:36.320
mash coming up right now

25:38.750 --> 26:04.400
[ Music ]

26:04.400 --> 26:14.240
happy Halloween and welcome to
October 31st edition of
coverville I'm Brian Abbott
thank you for

26:14.240 --> 26:22.000
listening we're going to get
into some Halloween music later
on but no now we'll be songs I
promise

26:22.960 --> 26:32.080
but first I want to get into a
quick dedication John Peel BBC
DJ extraordinaire again he was a

26:32.880 --> 26:39.360
DJ for the BBC longer than I've
been alive and longer than fans
of the music that he

26:39.360 --> 26:46.080
helped promote was alive
hopefully that made sense he
passed away earlier this week

26:47.360 --> 26:53.680
very sad and and definitely very
sad occasion for London because
he was just huge out there

26:56.160 --> 27:01.280
responsible for the discovery
and popularity of bands like the
Smiths and pulp and the

27:01.360 --> 27:08.240
cure a lot of great great music
video promote I'm in a play
something that according to the

27:08.240 --> 27:15.360
BBC's website they did a really
nice piece on him on his
biography apparently his
favorite track

27:15.360 --> 27:24.160
was a a single called teenage
kicks by the undertones in 1978
he played it constantly

27:24.800 --> 27:32.720
until finally Sire Records
landed a deal with the
undertones and and they got the
music

27:33.840 --> 27:39.680
a little more widespread I'm not
going to play the original by
the undertones I'm going to go
ahead and play

27:39.680 --> 27:47.360
a cover version by busted which
came out just recently so there
you go a little bit of cover

27:47.360 --> 27:53.520
ville thank you very much Scott
Brenner for turn me on to that
and I was happy to hear the
whole

27:53.600 --> 27:57.600
piece about John Peel who we
spoke about before on the daily
source code and now you can hear
some

27:57.600 --> 28:03.200
of the bands you discover but
also hear what you know what was
being said about how he just
played

28:03.200 --> 28:07.840
these songs over and over and
over again and that's exactly
what we can do with podcast you
know

28:07.840 --> 28:13.280
this is this is how it works you
know if records don't become
hits without some kind of

28:13.280 --> 28:17.840
infrastructure oh there you go
that's another one for the list
when you need a top 40 right
podcast

28:17.920 --> 28:24.240
pod tune top 40 something like
that email from Dithermaster boy
that I that I

28:24.240 --> 28:32.560
fucked up on this remember yeah
yeah yes I played those I trip
tones to see if I could change

28:32.560 --> 28:39.840
everyone's iPod to a different
frequency so I got some feedback
on that Adam if you want the

28:39.840 --> 28:45.840
I trip tones files to actually
change frequencies you have to
not play the bit after the pause
that's

28:45.920 --> 28:51.280
the cancel code that makes the I
trip not change frequencies it's
there sort of your iPod plays
the

28:51.280 --> 28:56.880
frequency songs by accident say
during the all play shuffle mode
then your I trip won't change

28:56.880 --> 29:07.520
frequency so I guess it didn't
work as you would say in the
programming biz so yes I
shouldn't have

29:07.520 --> 29:11.600
played the second blitz okay so
that makes sense because I
always wondered about that if if
you're

29:11.680 --> 29:19.120
iPod accidentally picks one of
those tunes at random which has
those tones in it you know will

29:19.120 --> 29:23.280
it then start switching
frequencies that's how they
solve that with just little hack
by putting in

29:23.280 --> 29:30.480
the clear tone for not to change
but he says please please don't
send that in your podcast it

29:30.480 --> 29:37.680
would suck for anyone using an I
trip no longer packing the I
trip files to change back or
worse

29:37.680 --> 29:44.160
fumbling with their iPod on
traffic and crashing I used to
use an I trip I would curse your

29:44.160 --> 29:49.760
name if you did that you know
what now they think about it
yeah that was pretty stupid I'm
sorry but

29:49.760 --> 29:54.880
you know in case we need it we
can always use it as some kind
of you know emergency broadcast
system

29:54.880 --> 29:59.200
and it's good to know that it's
there the latest search engine
from Google could turn out to be
a

29:59.200 --> 30:06.080
privacy nightmare once installed
in a computer running Windows
2000 or Windows XP the new
Google tool

30:06.240 --> 30:11.520
can find whatever's done on that
machine including email sent or
receive via outlook or outlook

30:11.520 --> 30:17.920
express AOL instant messaging
and web visits it won't just
give you an idea it will
actually show

30:17.920 --> 30:23.440
you the physical pages and
things that you've done. Pam
Dixon is head of the world
privacy forum

30:23.440 --> 30:28.880
she's concerned that the beta
version of a Google desktop
search now available for free
downloading

30:28.880 --> 30:35.520
is not password protected so if
you install it anyone with
physical access to your PC has
easy

30:35.520 --> 30:41.280
access to whatever you've done
machine so for example let's say
you go shopping online it will

30:41.280 --> 30:47.920
collect your credit card numbers
if you do banking online collect
your passwords and you're on my

30:47.920 --> 30:53.280
thinking financial information
and consider this use a computer
that has Google desktop search

30:53.280 --> 30:58.000
installed say you want to check
your email from a friend's house
they can see everything you did

30:58.000 --> 31:03.760
on that computer in complete
detail by the way Google is the
first but other companies have
similar

31:03.760 --> 31:08.640
search engines in the works and
that's today's tip i'm her voice
bomb the consumer man

31:08.640 --> 31:14.480
looking out for you on coma 1000
news i love her he's always
looking out for us you should

31:14.480 --> 31:19.360
subscribe to that if you're not
already a coma 1000 news podcast
you can find in the ipod.org

31:19.360 --> 31:25.200
directory and a reminder that if
you want to look for new podcast
that have just been updated or
just

31:25.200 --> 31:30.720
fresh audio dot weblogs dot com
is where you can check those out
if you want to get on that list

31:30.720 --> 31:36.000
there's an information ipod.org
as well about how to use the
ping form or use a blogging tool

31:36.000 --> 31:40.880
that'll do that for you
automatically so that when you
publish your podcast everyone
knows about it

31:40.880 --> 31:46.560
and of course there's also a
back end to that which can be
used by developers as well you
know

31:46.560 --> 31:54.720
imagine i'm using ipod.rex
currently i'm waiting for the
new ipod 11 version their next
release

31:55.200 --> 32:00.640
i can't wait to try out all
different pieces of software but
you know already we're
integrating the

32:00.640 --> 32:06.560
directory so what if there's a
new show you know it could you
could have stuff high light or
tune you know

32:06.560 --> 32:12.640
just all kinds of cool things we
can do and you can you know set
up rules and oh boy love it

32:14.640 --> 32:20.560
talk about blogger con for a
second tomorrow will be wins day
or actually it will be wins day
later on i'm gonna

32:21.520 --> 32:25.760

32:40.400 --> 32:48.080
at excuse me Stanford University
on Saturday November 6 and i'm
going to be a discussion leader

32:48.160 --> 32:55.440
for podcasting session it's
going to be uh i'm very excited
about it um i'm on the plane i'm

32:55.440 --> 32:59.440
going to you know kind of making
out line or actually going to
use now line or making out line

32:59.440 --> 33:04.240
of you know what i want to try
and get accomplished um if you
have any thoughts about that

33:04.240 --> 33:10.000
please do do email me and put it
in the subject line you know
blogger con you know session
thoughts

33:10.000 --> 33:15.360
or whatever because uh i'm a
real mess with email right now
i'm trying to get through it all

33:15.440 --> 33:21.280
and i'm trying to prioritize but
it's a mess it is just a mess
there's so much email coming in

33:21.280 --> 33:25.440
and i've learned from the past
that the less email you send the
less you receive but even that's

33:25.440 --> 33:31.600
not really helping right now uh
so in preparing for my flight
i'm also uh stocking up on on
podcast

33:31.600 --> 33:38.400
it's really hard i'm forcing
myself not to listen um there's
uh uh let's see uh IT
conversations

33:38.400 --> 33:45.600
behind the mic uh uh interview
with it with my uh my partner
and crime Dave Winner um and
i've

33:45.600 --> 33:49.840
listened to a little bit of it
but you know i want to save it i
want to save that for the for
the plane

33:49.840 --> 33:56.640
there's also uh Doug K was on a
web talk radio uh we're also
podcasting now and i want to
listen to

33:56.640 --> 34:03.440
that uh what i do catch uh and
i'm so happy Dave uh um at this
i think this is for the first
time

34:03.520 --> 34:09.120
and i talked to him about it he
is now uh morning coffee notes
is now officially a podcast and
it was

34:09.120 --> 34:13.200
in you know about time we still
we still need to get an opening
tune for him but now he's he's
put

34:13.200 --> 34:19.040
some structure into the show and
what the couple things i really
like about uh about uh the
morning

34:19.040 --> 34:25.440
coffee notes uh one is the into
just that even the title
suggests such an intimacy you
know you know

34:25.440 --> 34:30.400
here we are and of course i come
from the written port the
written version of morning
coffee notes uh

34:30.480 --> 34:37.760
which is kind of you know Dave's
brain dump uh uh you know that
that he has with his morning
coffee

34:37.760 --> 34:42.480
but they don't necessarily have
to be done in the morning they
can be done at any time but
there's a

34:42.480 --> 34:48.400
real intimacy and uh i got to
find out what microphone is
using because it sounds really
clean you know

34:48.400 --> 34:53.680
it's just a very clean uh audio
in fact if i'm listening on the
on the iPod sometimes i can

34:53.680 --> 34:57.520
hear i think it's a refrigerator
or something that's kind of
humming in the background and
when that

34:57.520 --> 35:05.840
kicks off then you really
realize how quiet it is um and
uh so i wanted to play a little
piece

35:05.840 --> 35:11.280
about uh the food this whole
this whole podcast is great
because there's stuff in there
about

35:11.280 --> 35:17.920
how to make money on the
internet with web logs with
podcasts and um and and Dave
goes into some

35:17.920 --> 35:22.320
some good detail about that i
really suggest you listen to it
if you're interested in making
money

35:22.400 --> 35:29.440
you may not be um but as it
relates to blogger con um he did
a little piece about the
Saturday

35:29.440 --> 35:34.800
food for thought dinners uh and
i'm hosting one table i think
there's a whole bunch of tables
um

35:34.800 --> 35:39.440
and it's actually two i think
two podcasting tables and dawn
and drew will be hosting a
second

35:39.440 --> 35:47.600
table so what a hood um but the
thought behind the the food for
thought dinners is uh there's a

35:47.600 --> 35:52.000
couple of different thoughts
behind it but the one that i
that i really like the most is
comes from

35:52.400 --> 35:58.160
some personal experience that
Dave has with uh with
conferences which i find to be
exactly like mine

35:58.160 --> 36:03.280
care to talk about what you you
know what you signed up for but
also it's okay to wander a
little bit

36:03.280 --> 36:08.960
it's a it's a it's a social
event and that leads to the
second reason why uh we do these
dinners

36:11.200 --> 36:17.280
is so that there can be a
Saturday evening social event
for basically that's open to
everybody

36:17.280 --> 36:21.680
and this is one of the nicest i
went to uh the world economic
form conference in uh

36:22.160 --> 36:30.000
in Dallas uh Switzerland uh in
2000 and um this was one of the
nicest things that they did
there

36:30.000 --> 36:37.040
now had i relied on you know
making dinner plans with uh
people that i knew uh at the
conference

36:37.040 --> 36:42.720
i would have eaten dinner alone
every night um as i had in the
early years of my career in the

36:42.720 --> 36:48.720
computer industry where you know
i wasn't necessarily you know i
for many years i wasn't an 18

36:49.680 --> 36:54.160
you know and people didn't
necessarily want to eat dinner
with me they were always kissing
up and

36:54.160 --> 37:00.000
trying to eat dinner with you
know more famous or richer
people and uh more influential
people

37:00.000 --> 37:06.560
and so very often i would be at
these conferences um um you know
first or second nights and have

37:06.560 --> 37:13.280
absolutely nothing to do you
know which was really ridiculous
because um you know those are
the

37:13.280 --> 37:18.000
people that pay for the
conference by the way the people
who don't have anything to do on
the

37:18.080 --> 37:22.480
and of course buttercon is a is
a free conference you don't have
to pay to come to it but the

37:22.480 --> 37:29.440
principles still stands in fact
you know we we for more or less
codified this we tried to

37:29.440 --> 37:36.480
discourage people from having
private events at the conference
uh they do happen people will
get

37:36.480 --> 37:43.360
invited to uh you know sort of
like invite only sorts of things
uh and they don't invite me to

37:43.440 --> 37:49.520
them anymore because i tell them
forget it don't do it i won't go
you know because i feel that

37:49.520 --> 37:56.320
i'm trying to in in doing this
conference to create um
something that's kind of like
the

37:56.320 --> 38:03.920
blogged sphere where um anybody
can set up a blog you don't need
to be um sort of an industry

38:03.920 --> 38:09.680
insider or an influential person
or anything like it and as a
result many of the really if you
did

38:09.680 --> 38:15.280
didn't many of the good blogs
wouldn't exist um mine sure
wouldn't exist i mean i'm not
the kind

38:15.280 --> 38:21.760
of guy the industry you know
likes to turn to for um insider
advice they they more or less
like to

38:21.760 --> 38:29.600
forget about me and um no which
is why i played it don't come
easy it's getting over it all
right so

38:29.600 --> 38:35.520
that's a bit from morning coffee
notes and you'll be hearing a
lot more uh on multiple podcast
about

38:35.600 --> 38:42.880
blogger con i'm sure of it i let
a new podcast now it's the gator
jug podcast

38:56.400 --> 39:03.360
good morning this is Mike Levin
this is your podcast from the
swamp and uh we are here in
beautiful

39:03.440 --> 39:10.480
winter park florida on monday
november first it's about six
forty five a.m. the sun is just
coming up

39:11.520 --> 39:20.000
we don't have much debris left
from the uh the um hurricanes
that have hit but there's still
a bit

39:20.000 --> 39:27.520
in the streets it's the day
before election day and uh i'm
just back from beautiful
Switzerland

39:27.600 --> 39:36.320
my wife ran the double in
marathon last week this is from
the the poor brethren of the
podcast

39:36.320 --> 39:44.240
you've ever just gone monday
that was a a lifelong dream of
hers and i decided to meet her
in Zurich

39:44.240 --> 39:51.840
on Wednesday and then we had
lunch in Milan for the weekend
uh from florida to Switzerland
and uh

39:51.920 --> 39:58.000
enjoy a change of pace and uh
climate and et cetera for a
couple of days okay that's right

39:58.000 --> 40:02.400
of the gator jug podcast there
just want to let you know that
there's all kinds of different
voices

40:02.400 --> 40:06.800
out there do a different things
and of course now that i've got
the production notes together
you'll

40:06.800 --> 40:14.080
be able to find the podcast feed
directly uh from the post and uh
this was it uh the some other

40:14.080 --> 40:20.400
stuff we're working on uh uh uh
that's too early to talk about
that i don't know how to explain
it yet

40:21.360 --> 40:27.520
hit when that happens uh another
promo uh people using
openpodcast.org to uh to promote

40:27.520 --> 40:32.480
their stuff which i think is a
great idea i really like this
open podcast idea of you know
just a

40:32.480 --> 40:38.800
place where you can either phone
in uh or you can email a file i
think it also email a url and
point

40:38.800 --> 40:45.680
to a file um very cool concept
because it's kind of like the PR
engine of podcasting uh and

40:45.680 --> 40:50.240
i think there's room for many
different ones you know there
should be a podcast feed

40:50.240 --> 40:53.840
that's for certain types of
announcements you know it should
it should be short things which

40:53.840 --> 40:59.840
these openpodcast.org pieces are
really interesting uh
particularly uh when it came
across uh

40:59.840 --> 41:25.520
this promotional announcement
hello world introducing some
instale.net a place where you
can find

41:25.520 --> 41:32.160
music from Germany where your
club can find informations about
bands from Germany and we can
find

41:32.160 --> 41:42.640
some stuff from the internet
check it out some estale.net
it's spelled as a
mm-e-l-s-t-e-l-l-e

41:46.250 --> 42:18.750
[ Music ]

42:25.360 --> 42:30.720
rock scene was always tripping
out a little bit you know the
just a whole the whole culture
and the

42:30.720 --> 42:34.640
whole vibe is a little bit
different from uh from the
states or maybe even any other
year

42:34.640 --> 42:40.080
you can definitely know cool
little jingle there at the end
actually i should look this up

42:40.080 --> 42:46.640
uh because um i hung out with
the scorpions uh remember they
were really big uh uh what was
uh

42:48.160 --> 42:54.000
was the wind the river or what
was it uh i can't remember the
name of the song um but they did

42:54.080 --> 42:59.120
something called the mascom
music piece festival i should
talk about a couple stories
because i

42:59.120 --> 43:07.520
went along with that that was an
88 i think um actually i i i'd
put up a site one time uh which
is

43:07.520 --> 43:14.560
at mtv.curry.com where i had
started uh this is when uh David
first introduced me to
directories and

43:14.560 --> 43:19.760
i started putting a directory
together um and i started you
know just an alphabetical
directory

43:19.840 --> 43:25.040
there's some missing spaces but
i was writing all the stories
codifying what happened in the

43:25.040 --> 43:33.040
at the mtv days and that you
hear it is i'm i'm gonna read
the story to you oh this is
funny okay

43:33.040 --> 43:44.080
holy shit um okay many a story
this was posted um uh on oh wow
how about this this was posted

43:44.080 --> 43:54.000
on november second 2001 at 1259
p.m. damn so that was you know a
year ago exactly whoa okay

43:54.000 --> 43:58.400
i don't know this that there's a
reason for that obviously let me
read this to you many a story

43:58.400 --> 44:03.040
must be told about the mascom
music piece festival among the
many attendees like aziyahs born

44:03.040 --> 44:11.120
and bunjilvi were German rock
gods scorpions shenker swans it
my tale of aziyahs born you can
read

44:11.200 --> 44:16.240
parts of the incredible journey
we made from Newark to Moscow
you made a quick stop in
Frankfurt to

44:16.240 --> 44:22.000
pick up claustmina and the rest
of the scorpions the scorpions
were semi retired by then the
drummer

44:22.000 --> 44:26.240
was even living on a mountain
top and monkey carlow so these
guys were pretty used to the
star

44:26.240 --> 44:31.360
treatment star treatment was a
far cry from the accommodations
we were given in Moscow yes it
was

44:31.360 --> 44:35.520
the best hotel on town but they
still had to turn on the hot
water facility and that part of
town

44:35.520 --> 44:40.960
especially for us the beds were
mattresses filled with straw
though each room did have a tiny

44:40.960 --> 44:45.360
black and white set with one
channel running that I suppose
with some government propaganda

44:45.360 --> 44:50.480
this is before the wall came
down so we were in the heart of
communist russia in another
story

44:50.480 --> 44:55.280
i'll delve into how skid rose
Sebastian Bach and i wound up
hanging out with the masco
chapter

44:55.280 --> 45:00.800
the hell's angels a telephone
was not a service considered
standard in russian those days

45:00.800 --> 45:05.360
there was one phone per floor on
the hotel and operator
physically sat by the phone and
if a

45:05.360 --> 45:09.920
call came in she would knock on
your door to inform you that
there was a call you take the
call out

45:09.920 --> 45:15.760
in the hallway at her at her
little station subsequently
making a phone call was even
worse

45:15.760 --> 45:20.480
you give the number to the phone
lady who would schedule the call
to be made the lag time between

45:20.480 --> 45:26.000
scheduling the call and getting
place was about six hours i
guess the kgb wanted to ensure
their

45:26.000 --> 45:30.960
taps were in place later i
hooked up with some cool guys
from the westward one radio
satellite

45:30.960 --> 45:36.160
truck who would link their stuff
so they had an actual 516 area
code dial tone in the truck for

45:36.240 --> 45:41.760
which let me use whenever i
wanted to call home for those
without such geek contact she

45:41.760 --> 45:45.520
really had to stay in the
neighborhood of the phone lady
since she called might be put
through

45:45.520 --> 45:50.080
after only four hours of waiting
time last thing you want was to
miss her knock and have to

45:50.080 --> 45:56.640
reschedule the call so i mean
the hallway on the way to pick
up a can of tuna fish from my
room

45:56.640 --> 46:00.960
one of the items on the list for
everyone to bring when i noticed
the phone lady is trying to

46:00.960 --> 46:06.000
figure out where root off
shanker is because it's called
been placed and was waiting for
him

46:06.000 --> 46:11.520
now since the scourps axman
wasn't in his room i figured i'd
be a good dooby and try to find
him

46:11.520 --> 46:17.040
so i knocked on his brother's
door which wasn't closed
properly it's one open upon my
knuckle

46:17.040 --> 46:22.320
wrap to reveal root off sitting
in a chair receiving a blow job
from some germ if from some

46:22.320 --> 46:29.120
Russian girl whoops phone call
for you i closed the door and
decided i didn't want the tuna
fish

46:29.760 --> 46:33.760
