WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:04.000 One casting with Adam Curry 00:04.000 --> 00:07.000 The power of the Lord gives the power 00:07.000 --> 00:10.000 Yeah! Everybody 00:10.000 --> 00:13.000 It's his Monday 00:13.000 --> 00:14.000 That's right 00:14.000 --> 00:17.000 Monday, the 22nd of November 2004 00:17.000 --> 00:19.000 Welcome to your daily source code 00:19.000 --> 00:21.000 Coming to you from Curry Cottage 00:21.000 --> 00:22.000 In the UK 00:22.000 --> 00:24.000 How to do it 00:24.000 --> 00:28.000 The power of the Lord gives the power 00:29.000 --> 00:31.000 I'm just getting everything all situated here 00:31.000 --> 00:32.000 Hold on a second 00:32.000 --> 00:33.000 I got a little set up 00:33.000 --> 00:35.000 I got the new studio happening 00:35.000 --> 00:37.000 Or at least parts of the new studio 00:37.000 --> 00:40.000 And the most mundane part is not quite done yet 00:40.000 --> 00:41.000 That's the chair 00:41.000 --> 00:43.000 I'm all twisted and contorted 00:43.000 --> 00:45.000 Just in my self position 00:45.000 --> 00:46.000 I'm talking to the microphone 00:46.000 --> 00:49.000 Otherwise I'm doing fine 00:49.000 --> 00:51.000 What a day today, man 00:51.000 --> 00:54.000 If you saw the update on my weblog 00:54.000 --> 00:57.000 You know that today did not go the way we planned 00:57.000 --> 00:59.000 In fact we had planned something totally different 00:59.000 --> 01:01.000 That what happened when there was a knock at the door 01:01.000 --> 01:02.000 Early this morning 01:02.000 --> 01:06.000 Power of the Lord 01:06.000 --> 01:09.000 So let me get into this with you right now 01:09.000 --> 01:11.000 Let me tell you what happened 01:11.000 --> 01:12.000 Sorry about that 01:12.000 --> 01:14.000 That was a nice fade out 01:14.000 --> 01:15.000 Wasn't it? 01:15.000 --> 01:16.000 Okay 01:16.000 --> 01:17.000 So this morning 01:17.000 --> 01:19.000 The authorities who had already been here 01:19.000 --> 01:22.000 Twice inquiring about our dogs and cats 01:22.000 --> 01:23.000 Arrived once again 01:23.000 --> 01:25.000 And said, you know, we've really looked at everything 01:25.000 --> 01:27.000 And we thought about 01:27.000 --> 01:28.000 You know, your story 01:28.000 --> 01:31.000 And although we totally understand how things went 01:31.000 --> 01:34.000 You know, unless you can produce the proof 01:34.000 --> 01:37.000 That after these animals had rabies 01:37.000 --> 01:39.000 Injections 01:39.000 --> 01:43.000 That their blood was tested for the appropriate levels 01:43.000 --> 01:45.000 Of whatever it is 01:45.000 --> 01:47.000 You know, if you can't produce that 01:47.000 --> 01:50.000 Then we're going to have to put them into quarantine for six months 01:50.000 --> 01:52.000 Hello, good morning everybody 01:52.000 --> 01:53.000 Thank God it's Monday 01:53.000 --> 01:55.000 So that was an interesting start 01:55.000 --> 02:00.000 And it was almost impossible to find 02:00.000 --> 02:03.000 The vet who had performed 02:03.000 --> 02:06.000 All this passport stuff 02:06.000 --> 02:09.000 For our two dogs and two cats 02:09.000 --> 02:11.000 And of course this is a Belgian 02:11.000 --> 02:14.000 You know, like a real farm vet, you know 02:14.000 --> 02:16.000 And he also does pets but he does cows 02:16.000 --> 02:18.000 And horses and stuff like that 02:19.000 --> 02:21.000 So, you know, we couldn't get a hold of him 02:21.000 --> 02:23.000 And then they said, well, look, you know 02:23.000 --> 02:25.000 Unless this guy can come up with the goods 02:25.000 --> 02:27.000 Then we'll be back at three o'clock 02:27.000 --> 02:31.000 And we'll take your animals into quarantine for six months 02:31.000 --> 02:33.000 And by the way, that's a Heathrow 02:33.000 --> 02:35.000 That's not anywhere near where your house is 02:35.000 --> 02:39.000 So you can imagine that we were all kind of like flippin' out 02:39.000 --> 02:42.000 And I literally sent my assistant 02:42.000 --> 02:44.000 To Belgium 02:44.000 --> 02:47.000 To get the right, you know, paperwork 02:48.000 --> 02:51.000 Basically, yeah, the paperwork and all the right signatures 02:51.000 --> 02:53.000 And all the right stamps 02:53.000 --> 02:55.000 And facts to me within like 45 minutes 02:55.000 --> 02:57.000 And maybe, I don't know 02:57.000 --> 02:58.000 Maybe five minutes before they came back 02:58.000 --> 03:00.000 With the guy with the van, you know 03:00.000 --> 03:02.000 Like, almost like the dog catcher, you know 03:02.000 --> 03:03.000 It's like, this is the big van 03:03.000 --> 03:04.000 We're gonna put your animals in 03:04.000 --> 03:06.000 And you won't see them for another six months 03:06.000 --> 03:07.000 Whew 03:07.000 --> 03:09.000 The facts just came in 03:09.000 --> 03:11.000 And these guys were very understanding 03:11.000 --> 03:12.000 They were nice and, you know 03:12.000 --> 03:14.000 And they could have caused us a lot of trouble 03:14.000 --> 03:16.000 Because basically we messed up 03:16.000 --> 03:18.000 We trusted too much in what our vet 03:18.000 --> 03:19.000 In Belgium told us 03:19.000 --> 03:21.000 And so even though we're all in the up and up 03:21.000 --> 03:23.000 It totally was not the official procedure 03:23.000 --> 03:26.000 So it was totally appreciated 03:26.000 --> 03:30.000 That they, you know, they got all squared away with us 03:30.000 --> 03:32.000 So, but that totally blew out 03:32.000 --> 03:33.000 Most of what we were planning for today 03:33.000 --> 03:35.000 And boy, we had a lot to do 03:35.000 --> 03:37.000 So we've still been working 03:37.000 --> 03:39.000 Relatively late this evening right now 03:39.000 --> 03:41.000 It's 9.15, 9.20 03:42.000 --> 03:44.000 And we're still unpacking boxes 03:44.000 --> 03:46.000 Figuring out where we can put stuff 03:46.000 --> 03:48.000 I'm getting a little bit closer in the infrastructure 03:48.000 --> 03:49.000 Of all of our stuff here 03:49.000 --> 03:51.000 And man, when I say infrastructure 03:51.000 --> 03:53.000 I really mean infrastructure 03:53.000 --> 03:55.000 We got lights that need to be hung up 03:55.000 --> 03:57.000 We got still waiting for the broadband 03:57.000 --> 03:59.000 Talk about that in a second 03:59.000 --> 04:02.000 We have phone line, we have one phone line in 04:02.000 --> 04:05.000 Well, actually, let me talk about the infrastructure now then 04:05.000 --> 04:07.000 So first of all, even though I said it 04:07.000 --> 04:10.000 On the previous podcast, I want to thank everyone 04:10.000 --> 04:13.000 So much for being so incredibly nice 04:13.000 --> 04:15.000 Welcoming us to the UK 04:15.000 --> 04:18.000 A lot of people who live here 04:18.000 --> 04:20.000 I've already kind of figured out where we are 04:20.000 --> 04:23.000 Just purely based on the comments that I've given 04:23.000 --> 04:25.000 So I appreciate you kind of keeping that quiet 04:25.000 --> 04:27.000 And off of the message boards 04:27.000 --> 04:30.000 But it's good because now people are starting to send messages 04:30.000 --> 04:32.000 About where we can hook up 04:32.000 --> 04:35.000 Where I can use a Wi-Fi hotspot 04:35.000 --> 04:38.000 Still looking for some friends for some of that other stuff 04:38.000 --> 04:41.000 Which I have a 04:41.000 --> 04:44.000 I got a couple emails about that as well 04:44.000 --> 04:52.000 That even though in the UK it's okay to do more than just walk on the grass 04:52.000 --> 04:55.000 It's pretty much something you just don't want to talk about too much 04:55.000 --> 04:56.000 Because then you can get into trouble 04:56.000 --> 04:59.000 So message understood point taken 04:59.000 --> 05:02.000 And who wants to get into trouble, man 05:02.000 --> 05:03.000 I don't 05:03.000 --> 05:04.000 Not with a man 05:05.000 --> 05:08.000 I wonder what we say in the stage 05:08.000 --> 05:10.000 The man is going to come and get you 05:10.000 --> 05:12.000 What do they say here in the UK? 05:12.000 --> 05:13.000 The bloke? 05:13.000 --> 05:15.000 The bloke is going to come and get your ass 05:15.000 --> 05:17.000 Oh man 05:17.000 --> 05:19.000 How much do you hate it? 05:19.000 --> 05:21.000 You just absolutely hate it 05:21.000 --> 05:23.000 When Americans do an English accent 05:23.000 --> 05:25.000 I talked about that with the 05:25.000 --> 05:28.000 Colin from the BBC from the culture show 05:28.000 --> 05:30.000 Who produced the segment more news about that 05:30.000 --> 05:32.000 As well later on this show 05:32.000 --> 05:35.000 And as I suspected, they really hate it 05:35.000 --> 05:37.000 They hate the posing Americans 05:37.000 --> 05:40.000 Who try and pull off the accent 05:40.000 --> 05:42.000 And Madonna with her Pollux 05:42.000 --> 05:45.000 For more on that conversation 05:45.000 --> 05:47.000 Refer back to the podcast 05:47.000 --> 05:52.000 That we did while the BBC was recording their culture show piece 05:52.000 --> 05:54.000 Back to the infrastructure 05:54.000 --> 05:58.000 I've gotten a lot of emails about British telecom 05:58.000 --> 06:00.000 BT as we say here 06:00.000 --> 06:02.000 Which confused me for a long time 06:02.000 --> 06:04.000 Because BT used to be a client of mine 06:04.000 --> 06:06.000 In New York that would be bankers trust 06:06.000 --> 06:08.000 Bigger derivatives trading bank 06:08.000 --> 06:11.000 So let me see 06:11.000 --> 06:13.000 So basically I have the provisional line 06:13.000 --> 06:14.000 I found out today 06:14.000 --> 06:16.000 It's still a provisional line 06:16.000 --> 06:18.000 Which means I mean some kind of computer hell 06:18.000 --> 06:20.000 Because something hasn't updated 06:20.000 --> 06:22.000 Which is also cool because I'm 06:22.000 --> 06:24.000 You know basically not paying for this line 06:24.000 --> 06:26.000 Yet they don't even you know it's a provisional line 06:26.000 --> 06:28.000 Means that it could still go away 06:28.000 --> 06:30.000 If there's a problem with this number or whatever 06:30.000 --> 06:33.000 You know that sounded a little bit vague to me 06:33.000 --> 06:37.000 But so once the provisional portion of that is removed 06:37.000 --> 06:39.000 Then I can order the broadband 06:39.000 --> 06:42.000 And what I wanted to do is I just wanted to go with 06:42.000 --> 06:44.000 British telecom to get there 06:44.000 --> 06:47.000 Was it the BT Yahoo broadband 06:47.000 --> 06:50.000 Which seems more or less like what I had in Belgium 06:50.000 --> 06:52.000 There is a limit on the bandwidth 06:52.000 --> 06:54.000 But I've kind of learned to live with that 06:54.000 --> 06:56.000 And I figured let me just get going 06:57.000 --> 07:00.000 Get something happening then I can always switch to another provider later 07:00.000 --> 07:03.000 At least let me go with someone who I can call the time and bitch Adam 07:03.000 --> 07:06.000 And so lots of comments coming in 07:06.000 --> 07:08.000 And all these of course listed in the show notes 07:08.000 --> 07:10.000 He had a great podcast 07:10.000 --> 07:13.000 Beware of BT broadband they capture monthly usage 07:13.000 --> 07:14.000 Which isn't a great idea 07:14.000 --> 07:16.000 This is from Philip 07:16.000 --> 07:18.000 Mizzledine 07:18.000 --> 07:19.000 Mizzledine 07:19.000 --> 07:20.000 Mizzledine 07:20.000 --> 07:22.000 Philip 07:22.000 --> 07:25.000 And he says that he uses a demon 07:25.000 --> 07:27.000 Who let you surf without a cap 07:27.000 --> 07:30.000 And he's also said that he has a free view card in his PC 07:30.000 --> 07:33.000 So he's going to record the culture show and high quality on Thursday 07:33.000 --> 07:35.000 That's great that's said the BBC show 07:35.000 --> 07:38.000 Which will be on at 7 p.m 07:38.000 --> 07:39.000 BBC 2 07:39.000 --> 07:42.000 Here in the UK including a segment about podcasting 07:42.000 --> 07:44.000 I got a great email from Colin 07:44.000 --> 07:46.000 He had created a nine minute piece 07:46.000 --> 07:50.000 Which is really long when it comes to when it comes to anything on television 07:50.000 --> 07:51.000 Anywhere 07:51.000 --> 07:53.000 It got re-edited down to six minutes 07:54.000 --> 07:56.000 Which happens in TV 07:56.000 --> 08:00.000 But he said it's great he says he's very happy with the end result 08:00.000 --> 08:05.000 I'm sure he's pissed that they cut out three minutes of his work 08:05.000 --> 08:07.000 And that of course is how it goes 08:07.000 --> 08:09.000 And the commercial airspace 08:09.000 --> 08:11.000 If you know what I mean 08:11.000 --> 08:15.000 So that was basically a con BT email 08:15.000 --> 08:18.000 I got another one from Rachel 08:18.000 --> 08:22.000 Saying you may be visiting Starbucks a lot more often 08:22.000 --> 08:25.000 In BT to connect you Monday the ongoing service is good 08:25.000 --> 08:27.000 But the ability to connect 08:27.000 --> 08:29.000 Was slow six months ago 08:29.000 --> 08:32.000 Apparently a lot of bad news about 08:32.000 --> 08:33.000 About BTs 08:33.000 --> 08:36.000 I guess they're brought in offering getting all ramped up 08:36.000 --> 08:38.000 So let me see 08:38.000 --> 08:40.000 I got one more which 08:40.000 --> 08:42.000 I think I got a pro 08:42.000 --> 08:44.000 A pro BT email here as well 08:44.000 --> 08:45.000 Hold on a second 08:45.000 --> 08:46.000 Yeah, here we go 08:46.000 --> 08:48.000 I'm using this bluetooth wireless mouse 08:48.000 --> 08:50.000 Which is from Mac mice 08:50.000 --> 08:52.000 It's pretty cool although I've noticed that 08:52.000 --> 08:55.000 As you run more and more applications 08:55.000 --> 08:57.000 And the computer starts to 08:57.000 --> 08:59.000 Use the processor 08:59.000 --> 09:01.000 The mouse is a little flaky 09:01.000 --> 09:03.000 Not that it won't respond 09:03.000 --> 09:06.000 But it responds like maybe with just a hair of a delay 09:06.000 --> 09:08.000 Which is not exactly what I want 09:08.000 --> 09:13.000 Okay, here is one from Martin 09:13.000 --> 09:16.000 From Green Dragon Online.co.uk 09:16.000 --> 09:19.000 Says got to come to the defensive BT on this one 09:19.000 --> 09:21.000 He said it was connected within seven days 09:21.000 --> 09:23.000 And that including them sending him the modem 09:23.000 --> 09:26.000 He said he was pleasantly surprised at their speed 09:26.000 --> 09:29.000 I don't know if that's the speed of their service of 09:29.000 --> 09:31.000 Getting him connected 09:31.000 --> 09:34.000 Or if that's the speed of their actually actual broadband 09:34.000 --> 09:35.000 And there's all kinds of stuff here 09:35.000 --> 09:37.000 There's most have one megabit down 09:37.000 --> 09:41.000 About 256 kilobit upload speed 09:41.000 --> 09:42.000 Although I have seen 09:42.000 --> 09:45.000 Some ADSL listed as three megabit down 09:45.000 --> 09:48.000 With 512k up 09:48.000 --> 09:52.000 So again, I just want to go with the tried and true for now 09:52.000 --> 09:55.000 Just get me rolling with BT 09:55.000 --> 09:56.000 I need them anyway 09:56.000 --> 09:59.000 That that has the provisional stuff has to be set up for anyone 09:59.000 --> 10:01.000 Can do anything with my line 10:01.000 --> 10:03.000 And if I wanted to use another provider 10:03.000 --> 10:05.000 I'd have to wait until I get my account number 10:05.000 --> 10:08.000 Which is probably not until I receive my first bill 10:08.000 --> 10:11.000 So I'm hoping that the BT can get me going 10:11.000 --> 10:13.000 Pretty darn soon 10:13.000 --> 10:16.000 But again, we've got Starbucks just five minutes down the road 10:16.000 --> 10:18.000 So not too big of a deal 10:18.000 --> 10:21.000 Shoot, let's play some tunes here 10:21.000 --> 10:22.000 I'm getting a dry throat 10:22.000 --> 10:25.000 We're now, what are we, we're ten minutes into the show 10:25.000 --> 10:28.000 And let me see 10:28.000 --> 10:29.000 What do we have? 10:29.000 --> 10:31.000 Oh yes, this is something that I found 10:31.000 --> 10:34.000 Is it in my iTunes inbox 10:34.000 --> 10:39.000 Or see I now, since I've been using iPod or how I call iTunes 10:40.000 --> 10:42.000 You know, the what's new playlist is also 10:42.000 --> 10:44.000 Become an inbox whoops 10:44.000 --> 10:47.000 This is from Bungwater 10:47.000 --> 10:49.000 I've seen

There you go. I don't have one on this microphone. I don't know what happened, 14:23.160 --> 14:26.600 but I don't know if that happened during the move or while it was sitting in its case. This 14:26.600 --> 14:35.240 sure is an SM7. Is the SM or SMB? It thinks the SM7. And the windscreen is just deteriorated. 14:35.240 --> 14:40.120 In fact, the whole inside of this box, which is a nice plush red inlay, you know, where you 14:40.120 --> 14:44.440 can slip the mic right in and it fits in. It's not just like one of those gun cases, or yeah, 14:44.440 --> 14:49.480 that the assassins have. And it's a nice little road steel road case, so it's protected. 14:50.360 --> 14:56.920 Yeah, the windscreen was just deteriorating right inside in its little slot. And so pieces of red were covered 14:56.920 --> 15:03.320 in black. And well, subsequently I have no windscreen. So actually, I should just steal a pantyhose. 15:04.600 --> 15:10.520 That's the whole pirate way. The blogger way of creating a windscreen. Here's a tip for you. In fact, 15:10.520 --> 15:14.120 I haven't done this a long time. I can't wait to do this. We used to do this to the pirate radio stations. 15:14.200 --> 15:20.920 So you get a code hanger, right? And then you kind of make a circle on one end about the size 15:20.920 --> 15:26.120 that you want the windscreen to be, which has to be bigger than the mic itself. And then you pull 15:26.120 --> 15:31.000 a piece of pantyhose tight right over that. And then you can attach the other end of the code hanger 15:31.000 --> 15:38.360 to your microphone stand and a kind of position it so that you have a good windscreen. And I'm 15:38.360 --> 15:43.880 going to do it even cooler. I might even just try to go to the local music store and find a windscreen 15:43.880 --> 15:51.880 but I could use that USB mic that wasn't good for me as a USB mic. I could use that as my windscreen 15:51.880 --> 15:57.720 because it has a nice, you know, swansneck adjustment. So okay. Anyway, end of the meantime, I'll try 15:57.720 --> 16:04.600 not to laugh too hard, or at least not laugh into the mic. I just want to plug a website that Todd sent 16:04.600 --> 16:08.440 me an email about. And again, on the show notes for today's we can find more about that Todd 16:08.520 --> 16:15.240 Maffin sent me the URL to radiodaddy.com site is being developed as a free service to a 16:15.240 --> 16:19.800 loud change of voiceover between radio stations worldwide. The premise of the site is simply 16:19.800 --> 16:24.200 you need a voiceover recorded. You come to radiodaddy.com post your request and a member 16:24.200 --> 16:28.920 records your voiceovers and MP3 file uploads it back to radiodaddy. You return to the site download 16:28.920 --> 16:33.720 your free voiceover and voila, new voice on your station. It's free. Oh, yes, you do the free voiceovers 16:33.720 --> 16:41.640 for our members as well. So it's kind of like a voiceover exchange. It's like a swap meet of a radio 16:42.920 --> 16:48.040 IDs and voiceovers, which is cool because a lot of people are doing that a blogger kind. It's great 16:48.040 --> 16:52.520 to hear all these different people saying, hey, this is so-and-so on the rock and roll geek show, 16:52.520 --> 16:58.120 where hey, this is so-and-so on the Don Andru show and all this cross-pollination is really cool. 16:59.080 --> 17:04.440 And it makes us sound like a station, like a radio station used to when you had fun, you know, 17:04.440 --> 17:10.440 sometimes in each other's expense. So it's good. I totally recognize this type of fun. 17:10.440 --> 17:15.480 A couple of things I want to talk about as well as we continue to expand the infrastructure 17:16.280 --> 17:20.520 after reviewing all the different calling plans, all of our options. And basically, you know, 17:20.520 --> 17:26.040 finding that until we have our bank account opened and credit cards and, you know, some kind of 17:26.040 --> 17:31.560 credit history built up in the UK, there's no way we're going to be able to purchase cell phones 17:31.560 --> 17:37.800 on a contract. So the only real option that remains open, which actually turns out to be a pretty 17:37.800 --> 17:43.400 good one is Virgin Mobile, a good old Richard, man. It's like, they've got this whole philosophy. 17:43.400 --> 17:50.760 You should check out virginmobile.com or virgin.com slash mobile and read about the philosophy of 17:50.760 --> 17:55.480 why they do the billing the way they do it, how they operate. And it's pretty much what you'd 17:55.560 --> 18:01.160 expect from Virgin. It's good. And I felt very comfortable purchasing not just one, but three 18:01.160 --> 18:07.560 of their phones. We all got one. And I got the, let me scrub better here. Hold on. I need to 18:07.560 --> 18:17.160 charge it as well. I got the Sony Ericsson K700i, which is it's small. It's a little bit smaller 18:17.160 --> 18:21.800 than I'd like. And I don't know if this battery is going to last as long as I wanted to, 18:21.800 --> 18:28.840 although I did a lot of calling today because of a lot of crap. Oh, I go on on. But it's good. 18:28.840 --> 18:33.160 As a great camera and a VGA camera. So really good quality pictures. And that's probably what 18:33.160 --> 18:37.880 I use it for the most outside of using it as a phone. And it sinks with my Apple Macintosh, 18:37.880 --> 18:45.560 another big plus. About 18 minutes into the source code for this Monday, November 22, 2004. 18:45.560 --> 18:53.560 So really can recommend the Virgin phone experience. Really friendly people to help you out 18:53.560 --> 18:58.200 to really explain everything. And it's just low hassle. And you don't feel hassle at all. 18:58.200 --> 19:03.240 There's no one like pressuring you to get this or get that. It's good. And it's got interactive 19:03.240 --> 19:08.840 screens. You kind of help yourself. But help is there when you need it. I liked it. The depressing 19:08.840 --> 19:15.400 part, of course, is you get a new phone. And in this case, it was really relatively easy for me to 19:15.400 --> 19:25.080 copy my data from my existing Nokia phone over to this Sony Ericsson just by re-sinking my Mac, 19:25.080 --> 19:31.080 which resinks the calendar address book. When I was at a couple other things that sinks up. 19:33.000 --> 19:38.600 And then realizing that maybe I should remove Teofon Horses number. There's a couple of 19:38.600 --> 19:43.320 other people who passed away since I've been maintaining my phone book. And you see those numbers 19:43.400 --> 19:50.600 passed by. And I'm like, wow, three. Three since the past phone that have passed on. 19:51.320 --> 20:02.760 And I left them in. I left them in. I also sent the OSMS from Patricia and I. Even though 20:02.760 --> 20:07.160 he was already dead, it was before his funeral. And I was really happy to see that when they 20:07.160 --> 20:12.600 buried him. This is the sending us the filmmaker who was murdered recently. 20:13.480 --> 20:18.120 Started off a big wave of unrest in in the Netherlands and actually in certain parts of Europe. 20:18.120 --> 20:23.880 And the European Parliament is upset and worried. They buried the O and they buried him with 20:23.880 --> 20:30.040 this gullowild cigarettes with his lighter and with his mobile phone. And so it was kind of cool 20:30.040 --> 20:39.560 to know that my SMS surely was going to be buried along with them. Okay. Let's see, moving along. 20:39.560 --> 20:45.480 What kind of email was this Philippe? What did Philippe say? Oh, yeah. 20:45.480 --> 20:49.960 Philippe, student at University of California, San Diego. Listen to the data source code every day. 20:49.960 --> 20:53.320 Really enjoy your show. Thanks for all the work you put into podcasts. Check it out. 20:53.320 --> 20:58.120 Why do you let you know that I just bought a new vanity license plate that would read podcast? 21:01.320 --> 21:07.000 And he's wondering if if I could do the same here in the UK. I did that once. I did get a vanity 21:07.000 --> 21:19.160 plate. I got mine in shoot man. I want to say 1994. And it was dot com. New Jersey license plate. 21:19.800 --> 21:25.240 And at the time, people would actually stop me or come up to me at stoplights and say, hey man, 21:25.240 --> 21:28.760 yeah, the internet is cool because no one had heard about it. Really, you know, like dot com. 21:28.760 --> 21:33.320 And so the very few people that recognized it, you know, it was like instantaneous recognition. 21:33.320 --> 21:37.480 It was kind of cool. It was it was a very in thing. Of course, only a few years later, 21:37.480 --> 21:43.400 became the most wrong thing to have in the world is a dot com vanity license plate. 21:43.400 --> 21:48.600 But it was fun, what it lasted for a while. I wanted to have, I had a Rolls Royce at one point, 21:48.600 --> 21:56.360 which I wanted to have a vanity plate, MTV dot com. My lawyers like didn't want me to do that. 21:56.360 --> 21:59.640 And shoot, you know, we started a company instead and had a lot more fun than that. 22:00.520 --> 22:06.120 And our good buddy Doug K is pretty much in the podcast mode. He has an announcement for us, 22:06.120 --> 22:11.640 which came through his channel just a few days ago. Actually, a little bit longer than that. 22:11.640 --> 22:16.600 Is this a week old already? Have I not played this? Well, if not, it's information you need to know. 22:16.680 --> 22:32.280 Hello, this is Doug K, the host and producer of IT Conversations. And although I'm responsible 22:32.280 --> 22:37.160 for all of the audio, you hear here on IT Conversations, I'm not really a podcaster in the same 22:37.160 --> 22:42.120 sense as Adam Curry Dave Slushar. But I want to bring you up to date on some of what's happening 22:42.120 --> 22:46.200 here at IT Conversations. And I guess it's time I did that using audio, not just my blog, 22:46.200 --> 22:53.000 which, by the way, you can find at blogorithms.com. One of my goals has been to create 300 programs 22:53.000 --> 22:57.560 in the IT Conversations archives by the end of this year. And when I roll out everything that's in 22:57.560 --> 23:02.920 the current production queue, I'll be at 291. That means I've got seven whole weeks to produce just 23:02.920 --> 23:08.440 nine more shows, so that should be pretty easy. Many new listeners, the IT Conversations are overwhelmed 23:08.440 --> 23:13.160 by the size of those archives, and they don't really know where to start. Sure, it's easy to pick 23:13.160 --> 23:17.880 the latest programs from the home page, but there are scores of great some would say even better 23:17.880 --> 23:23.480 programs in the vault that newcomers just can't find. Long time listeners know that I've steadily 23:23.480 --> 23:28.040 expanded the breadth of programming on the site, and although I still call it IT Conversations 23:28.040 --> 23:33.080 for lack of a better name, it's not really just for IT, nor is it just for IT professionals anymore. 23:33.960 --> 23:38.200 In addition to my own interviews in the Gilmore gang, I've added Halle suits memory lane, 23:38.200 --> 23:42.360 Dave Slushar's voices in your head, which are interviews with sci-fi writers and others, 23:42.840 --> 23:47.240 and Scott Maze's new series of interviews entitled Opening Move. And of course, 23:47.240 --> 23:51.560 they're all the conferences that we get ranging from O'Reilly's emerging technology conference 23:51.560 --> 23:57.480 and Ozcon to Supernova, Noemdex, BloggerCon, and PopTech. And you can be sure there's a lot more 23:57.480 --> 24:03.160 to come after that. But because of this breadth of programming, I recognize that not everyone will 24:03.160 --> 24:07.560 want to listen to every program. That's okay. The same is true probably for TV networks or even 24:07.560 --> 24:13.240 NPR. My first attempt to make it easier to find what you like and ignore the rest was to create 24:13.240 --> 24:18.680 separate RSS feeds, podcasts, if you will. Now listen to this because Doug K is doing some 24:18.680 --> 24:24.600 really interesting stuff, and listen to all the stuff that he has done that he had set up before 24:24.600 --> 24:31.320 podcasting, and really how professionally he is in this whole approach. I got to tell you, 24:31.320 --> 24:35.960 man, I'm really looking forward to working with this guy in the future, because he's definitely, 24:36.040 --> 24:42.520 although it's narrow casting, it's a definite niche. I think it's brought enough to actually, 24:42.520 --> 24:48.520 you know, to be something cool, if you will, for each of the series and topics that I produce. 24:49.080 --> 24:53.400 So instead of subscribing to everything from IT conversations, which is as many as 5 or 6 24:53.400 --> 24:58.120 new programs each week, you can now just subscribe to your favorite series like the Gilmore gang 24:58.120 --> 25:03.400 or topics like software development or security. By the way, if you don't already know about 25:03.400 --> 25:08.600 these options, just go to the left side nav bar on any page on the IT conversations website, 25:08.600 --> 25:31.080 and you'll see a list of the topics. I'm not sure where it is on the website, IT Conversations.com, 25:31.160 --> 25:34.600 that's why I've played some of that for you. Here's just the ending bit. 25:34.600 --> 25:41.000 patience.com. Of course, any comments, suggestions or other topics are welcome as well. I'd love to hear from you. 25:43.240 --> 25:47.320 On a more personal note, I'm going to be taking a couple of weeks off. I'm having a bit of 25:47.320 --> 25:52.120 surgery on Friday, November 19th, nothing too serious, but they tell me the recovery is pretty 25:52.120 --> 25:56.920 gnarly. So I've cut up two weeks worth of programs that will launch automatically between now and 25:56.920 --> 26:02.600 December 1st. They include the rest of the presentations from BloggerCon 3 and more of the terrific 26:02.600 --> 26:08.360 sessions we've had from PopTech 2004. And don't forget the latest edition of Dave Slusher's Voices 26:08.360 --> 26:13.720 in your head that we published today and a new Gilmore gang that will be up on Thursday of this week. 26:14.600 --> 26:18.840 Once again, this is Doug K, the host and producer of IT Conversations, and most of all, 26:18.840 --> 26:21.320 thanks for listening to IT Conversations. Talk to you soon. 26:27.560 --> 26:33.640 Okay, so a couple thoughts about that. You see how he's got a whole station together and I really 26:33.640 --> 26:40.280 dig that. And this is, I think this is kind of what I want from the Pod Squad, how I would like to 26:40.280 --> 26:46.280 talk about people and it's kind of already happening organically. So we don't necessarily have to 26:46.280 --> 26:51.880 have it on one website, although that might be nice. You know, stuff to think about there. And I had 26:51.880 --> 26:58.680 a quick, I think it's an instant message, your email conversation with Doug, and he's doing okay. 26:58.680 --> 27:02.680 He said, it hurts like a bitch. I have no idea what that means except that it hurts like a bitch. 27:05.080 --> 27:10.200 About non-R-I-A-A music podcast tunes that we like to play on the daily source code, 27:10.200 --> 27:14.440 which means that we have a license to play them or the license is available for review that 27:14.440 --> 27:20.360 lets us know that we can play it and don't have to, at least not in the way that we're using it 27:20.360 --> 27:26.760 here on the source code. Notice me talking in the Royal Wii, we don't have to pay any royalty or 27:26.760 --> 27:37.480 license for using it. I know the president and the founder of a pretty big medium-sized record company, 27:37.480 --> 27:42.040 which is rare, because there aren't a lot of independent record company publishing companies. 27:42.680 --> 27:48.200 And I've known him for a long time, he's been responsible for a lot of big names that anyone 27:48.200 --> 27:53.480 would recognize. Of course, I'm not going to tell you who it is because this was a private conversation, 27:53.480 --> 28:01.240 but we've been keeping tabs on each other for shoot, man. I'd say close to 20 years. 28:01.880 --> 28:08.680 And in a way, I think I'm partially, a little bit of his prodigyase. He's always followed the stuff I've 28:08.680 --> 28:14.760 done, and there's a lot of comparisons with our backgrounds. I agree or wise as well. 28:15.560 --> 28:19.640 And except I never really went into the record business, but just, well, you know what I mean. 28:20.680 --> 28:29.240 And I said, hey, why don't we get some of your music and you give me a license to play it on my podcast. 28:29.240 --> 28:34.280 And he says, you know, I really, and this is, this is really sad. He says, you know, I'd love to do it, 28:34.280 --> 28:40.520 but if I do, then I will set jurisprudence, which means all kinds of people from within the 28:40.600 --> 28:46.120 industry are to come and jump on me, which could actually mean that I could be out of revenue for 28:46.120 --> 28:53.080 real, not because of theft, but because of the lawsuits and all the jurisprudence that will be set 28:53.720 --> 29:00.200 within the industry itself. And I thought that was so freaking sad, so sad, because this is it. 29:00.200 --> 29:05.960 This is why the music industry can't change, you know, because it's going to eat itself up. 29:05.960 --> 29:11.640 Then, you know, the minute one of the wolves shows some kind of, quote, weakness, then the other ones will just jump on it and have it for dinner. 29:12.760 --> 29:17.240 And it really, really, it struck home, you know, it's like, it's just not going to happen. 29:17.240 --> 29:23.480 They're afraid themselves. And this guy is certainly a guy who could do it. He could blow up his company. 29:23.480 --> 29:30.360 And he's, he could blow the whole thing up, make no money for the rest of his life and still be an incredibly rich man 29:30.360 --> 29:33.320 for the rest of his natural life. I don't think he could spend at all. 29:34.280 --> 29:40.120 And still, you know, he doesn't want to take that challenge. He's afraid about it. 29:41.320 --> 29:46.280 And so I said, you know, instead of going off on him, I said, well, okay, you know what? We're going to turn around. 29:46.280 --> 29:51.960 Please keep listening to the podcast because I am convinced that we're going to make some stars. 29:51.960 --> 29:59.400 And I think that we'll be able to pick him. And, you know, then you can go and do a deal with them and 30:00.360 --> 30:06.840 get him, uh, paid some real money by playing him on, uh, on your distribution. And I think that we've got an agreement there. 30:08.840 --> 30:11.880 And here's a couple of my favorites. The lascivious bitties. 30:13.750 --> 31:25.400 [ Music ] 31:25.400 --> 31:29.800 I will say sorry, babe. Talk to my assistant. 31:33.750 --> 32:06.250 [ Music ] 32:10.120 --> 32:12.120 I'm so exhausted. 32:13.750 --> 33:26.040 [ Music ] 33:26.040 --> 33:32.040 I'll let away, and just touch. 33:33.750 --> 34:11.250 [ Music ] 34:12.440 --> 34:15.320 You know, it's just something so sexy about women this thing that way. 34:15.320 --> 34:19.240 And play their own instruments. The city is bitties. I want to be famous. 34:19.800 --> 34:24.920 You can actually purchase their music. Check them out at lasiviusbitties.com. 34:24.920 --> 34:28.280 That link will be available in the show notes for today's podcast. 34:28.280 --> 34:30.920 While the song was playing, I was actually pulling out a whole bunch of stuff that 34:30.920 --> 34:35.400 I'm going to move over to tomorrow's podcast because we're coming up on 35 minutes. 34:35.400 --> 34:38.840 And you know, I like to try and keep it around 40, which seems to be just the right time for the 34:38.840 --> 34:45.560 perfect commute or for your walk, Dave, or your exercise. So I'm going to move right along with 34:45.640 --> 34:51.080 the next audio comment. Hey there Adam. This is Todd over at www.studio and geek.org. 34:51.960 --> 34:57.960 Anyway, I ran into one of your movers the other day of all places in Indiana. And he said, 34:57.960 --> 35:07.880 you left this in the back of his truck. Boy, boy, boy, boy, boy. Yeah, we got more and not quite as 35:07.880 --> 35:13.960 as a as funny, but definitely as important. Hey Adam is Scott from today's podcast.com. I was 35:13.960 --> 35:18.600 calling the link. You know, I noticed a little problem with one of your RSS feeds. The one that's 35:18.600 --> 35:26.360 coming off of radioweblogs.com. Categories daily source code RSS.xml. Yeah, first of all, I agree. 35:26.360 --> 35:34.360 That's confusing. But the actual URL, which does work. It's from the same place is daily source code.com slash 35:34.360 --> 35:42.680 RSS.xml. Including the opml file instead of the MP3 file. I was subscribed to that particular 35:42.680 --> 35:50.040 feed and was pretty disappointed to not hear today's podcast on the way to work. But okay, so now that's 35:50.040 --> 35:54.600 interesting because I kind of did that as a test. What I did is I'm just trying to figure out how to 35:54.600 --> 36:01.560 you know, connect the the shows, the podcast with the show notes. So I did an enclosure of the MP3 36:01.560 --> 36:06.040 and then right on the heels of that. I did an enclosure of the opml file. So I'm not quite sure 36:06.040 --> 36:11.560 what software you're using, but it should have at least got in the MP3 file. And it might not have 36:11.560 --> 36:15.880 downloaded the opml or bulked out, or maybe it did download it. But I don't understand how you 36:15.880 --> 36:21.320 didn't get the MP3. But of course, regardless, I understand that this is it was confusing totally. 36:21.320 --> 36:24.440 Hopefully you can get that fixed pretty quickly, although I think I'll just switch over to the 36:24.440 --> 36:28.920 XML that's coming off of your main website. It's wondering why you had two feeds like that. 36:30.120 --> 36:34.200 Anyway, thanks for the great work. I hope you're moved to the UK work. So pretty well. 36:34.200 --> 36:38.200 Oh, one last note. I was going to mention that the podcast directory looks like it's going 36:38.200 --> 36:42.280 to go over a thousand podcasts this weekend. So that's kind of an exciting milestone. 36:43.080 --> 36:48.040 Again, thanks a lot to you and Dave for all your hard work. Boy, oh, I ended right there. 36:48.920 --> 36:54.600 Okay, so now that is exactly the it seems like we're all on this on this track, you know, and 36:54.600 --> 37:02.840 Dave and I are somehow connected. Just connected, not not not through anything that I can really, 37:02.840 --> 37:06.280 you know, point two, but we're thinking the same things almost at the same time. So at the 37:06.280 --> 37:11.560 moment where I'm trying to figure out how to put my opml and somehow glue it into, you know, 37:11.560 --> 37:19.240 along with each podcast for the show notes. Well, along comes Dave with, well, first of all, 37:19.240 --> 37:26.120 he, he's been working on this bit-torn production system that will create bit-torn type of an 37:26.120 --> 37:31.320 MP3 and then he asked a public question on scripting news. Okay, how should we encode this in 37:31.320 --> 37:35.960 in the RSS file, which started a whole bevy of activity over in the iPodder developers list, 37:35.960 --> 37:42.200 which by the way, anyone can join, please do that's the place for you to go talk to developers who care 37:42.200 --> 37:48.280 and who listen to you as a user, just so only once you use this stuff, you have to have questions. 37:48.280 --> 37:52.120 Now, of course, you know, try and read the manual first. If you can find it, you know, look around, 37:52.120 --> 37:56.840 do a Google search, check out the iPodder directory, the links, there's all kinds of FAQs and 37:56.840 --> 38:02.120 help links and then if you can't figure out, then feel free to, you know, post something to that list. 38:02.120 --> 38:06.600 And just, you know, if you're having problems with something, trying to explain as much as possible, 38:06.600 --> 38:11.480 you know, this is what I did, this is what I expected and here's my question or, you know, 38:13.000 --> 38:17.720 this is what I expected, this is what happened. Okay, which of course will clearly not be the 38:17.720 --> 38:23.720 behavior you expected. So you should, you know, let us know what you expected. Regardless, 38:24.600 --> 38:28.760 there's a great community that's pulling all this stuff together and, you know, and there was all kinds of 38:28.760 --> 38:36.600 comments, all kinds of great ideas of, you know, how we can basically start to migrate podcasts from pure 38:36.600 --> 38:43.000 MP3 sitting on servers to bit torrents that will share the bandwidth load so that we can, you know, 38:43.000 --> 38:47.480 essentially podcast a hell of a lot longer. We're seeing that some popular shows and I'll just kind of, 38:47.480 --> 38:53.080 you know, running into trouble because of bandwidth limits. And so, you know, one of the ways to solve this 38:53.080 --> 38:58.840 as a community is to, you know, get this bit torrent stuff and the encoding of bit torrent in the podcast 38:58.840 --> 39:03.480 fees, the RSS 2.0 feeds, you know, to get all of that working. On the other end, this, you know, 39:03.480 --> 39:07.240 we also have to bring money into this if we're really serious about it. So, you know, 39:07.800 --> 39:12.600 want to be working on all different angles. And the real important one is exactly that is 39:13.880 --> 39:18.760 getting bit torrent to work. And Marcus Moller, who's been working with me for a long time, 39:18.760 --> 39:22.040 has been working on this with Dave as well. So it's, it's getting, you know, there's some, 39:22.040 --> 39:30.040 some movement happening here. And then all of a sudden, like, I think he did, did he write this 39:30.040 --> 39:35.320 on his way? This is how simple the answer is. I don't know if you wrote it on his, it was packing 39:35.320 --> 39:40.520 on his way to the airport. And he probably either posted it or uploaded or finished it off on the 39:40.520 --> 39:47.480 free Wi-Fi at C-TAC, yep, free as in beer. I couldn't believe it myself. And it's a, it's a, 39:47.480 --> 39:52.920 it's a how-to on how to extend RSS and how you can put these modules in. And anyway, I went 39:52.920 --> 39:59.080 being boiling, I totally got it, you know, the minute I read this piece, even better was not just his 39:59.080 --> 40:07.560 example of, we had, he has a, a great example of how to extend RSS with a name space. But there's 40:07.560 --> 40:13.560 another example out there, which is the creative commons module for RSS, which is done with name space. 40:13.560 --> 40:20.200 And when I saw that, I was like, well, okay, of course, I totally get it. And I'm, I'm going to, 40:20.200 --> 40:26.520 you know, try and work this out for OPML pod cast notes. And I'm not sure if it has should be 40:26.520 --> 40:32.440 as broad as OPML, you know, how we attach that, or I don't know, but at least I understand how it 40:32.440 --> 40:36.440 works now. And so I want to put some thought into it and talk to, you know, as many of you as 40:36.440 --> 40:41.480 possible, if we can, now that we know how to put it into the name space, what are we going to do with it, 40:41.560 --> 40:46.440 you know, what are the bits we want to connect and want to glue? I'm excited because I had no idea how 40:46.440 --> 40:52.840 to do it. And now that I see it, it's like, oh, okay, even I understand this. So we're going to hop 40:52.840 --> 40:59.400 on this. You know, I'm, I'm really excited about it. Okay, so good. That brings me up to the last song 40:59.400 --> 41:07.800 of the day for this podcast. I got this off of garage band. This is currently the top voted 41:08.760 --> 41:19.000 song on garageband.com. It's by now it fit more magic shot. And it's pretty cranky. It's not enough 41:19.000 --> 41:21.000 there's the title. 41:21.250 --> 44:51.250 [ Music ] 45:07.000 --> 45:33.000 I can't believe it. 45:33.000 --> 45:59.000 I can't believe it. 45:59.000 --> 46:27.000 I can't believe it.
