WEBVTT

00:00.000 --> 00:03.000
Augustine, all's live!

00:03.000 --> 00:05.000
Adam Curry!

00:05.000 --> 00:07.000
Yeah, everybody crank it up!

00:07.000 --> 00:10.000
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!

00:11.000 --> 00:13.000
And welcome to your daily source
code!

00:13.000 --> 00:16.000
Coming to you from the UK, this
is the source code for...

00:16.000 --> 00:20.000
Oh, man, it's Monday, November
29, 2004.

00:20.000 --> 00:22.000
We're in studio.

00:22.000 --> 00:27.000
Well, not actually not the it's
studio A, I'm in studio A8.

00:27.000 --> 00:31.000
Which means I'm in the Audi.

00:31.000 --> 00:34.000
The Audi A8 is the new studio.

00:34.000 --> 00:36.000
It's the place to be.

00:36.000 --> 00:38.000
It had a nice weekend.

00:38.000 --> 00:41.000
Went off to the Netherlands to
do a little bit of business.

00:41.000 --> 00:45.000
Had some friends putting
together a television pilot,

00:45.000 --> 00:49.000
which I instigated called Adams
of Eagle Eye,

00:49.000 --> 00:51.000
based around two friends of
mine.

00:51.000 --> 00:54.000
Both presenters, one legendary
news guy,

00:54.000 --> 00:59.000
who's about 55 years old and is
definitely seeing a revival

00:59.000 --> 01:02.000
that is career and man, it was a
lot of fun.

01:08.000 --> 01:10.000
I'm really even more fun was
just figuring out

01:10.000 --> 01:14.000
and actually experiencing how
close the UK really is

01:14.000 --> 01:17.000
and how easy it is to get more
pretty much anywhere.

01:17.000 --> 01:21.000
I left Saturday morning to the
car picking up at 8 o'clock.

01:21.000 --> 01:24.000
Had me at Heathrow at a quarter
to nine,

01:24.000 --> 01:27.000
I was on board the plane at
9.30.

01:27.000 --> 01:30.000
And I was an Amsterdam, I see a
quarter to an hour.

01:30.000 --> 01:36.000
I was already in the Amsterdam
bunker before noon,

01:36.000 --> 01:38.000
I think, or just a little bit
past noon.

01:38.000 --> 01:42.000
So, not bad all things are
considered.

01:42.000 --> 01:44.000
Yeah, yeah, yeah, power up here
and nothing.

01:44.000 --> 01:46.000
All that stuff, okay.

01:46.000 --> 01:49.000
So, let me see.

01:50.000 --> 01:52.000
Yeah, the most important thing
of the entire trip

01:52.000 --> 01:54.000
for me personally besides, of
course,

01:54.000 --> 01:56.000
all the fun we had doing the TV
show,

01:56.000 --> 02:01.000
which was a total, what do you
call it?

02:01.000 --> 02:03.000
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

02:03.000 --> 02:05.000
One weekend in Holland and all
of a sudden

02:05.000 --> 02:07.000
I lose all my English volunteer.

02:07.000 --> 02:10.000
All of, we basically called up
all our buddies

02:10.000 --> 02:12.000
and said, look, we need a couple
camera people,

02:12.000 --> 02:14.000
we need some producers, some
sound people,

02:14.000 --> 02:17.000
everyone chipped in and we
created,

02:17.000 --> 02:19.000
even studio was donated time.

02:19.000 --> 02:21.000
Of course, if we actually sell
this pilot

02:21.000 --> 02:23.000
and we get it on the air, then
of course,

02:23.000 --> 02:26.000
everyone will be waiting there
where they're hand out

02:26.000 --> 02:28.000
because then they'll get paid
and they'll be working

02:28.000 --> 02:30.000
on the show, which is the way
this is supposed to work.

02:30.000 --> 02:32.000
So, it was a lot of fun.

02:32.000 --> 02:34.000
And I'd book to hotel through,

02:34.000 --> 02:37.000
I actually just did a Google
search before I left

02:37.000 --> 02:39.000
and said, I want to Wi-Fi,

02:39.000 --> 02:41.000
enabled hotel in Hilversum.

02:41.000 --> 02:44.000
And I know of some really good
hotels in Hilversum,

02:44.000 --> 02:46.000
which is kind of the Hollywood
of the Netherlands.

02:46.000 --> 02:49.000
So, you know, reason to go to
hotels,

02:49.000 --> 02:51.000
but none of them had anything
that resembled Wi-Fi

02:51.000 --> 02:52.000
or actually even broadband.

02:52.000 --> 02:55.000
They were still talking about
telephone with data ports.

02:55.000 --> 02:58.000
So, didn't, didn't book there,

02:58.000 --> 03:00.000
found a hotel called Revell,

03:00.000 --> 03:03.000
excuse me, which I posted about
on my weblog.

03:03.000 --> 03:06.000
And walked in there around a
10pm,

03:06.000 --> 03:08.000
of course, it was a late
check-in.

03:08.000 --> 03:10.000
And I think it might've been the
owner

03:10.000 --> 03:12.000
if not definitely a manager who
said,

03:12.000 --> 03:14.000
oh, you know, Adam, welcome.

03:14.000 --> 03:16.000
I already heard on your podcast,

03:16.000 --> 03:17.000
you're coming.

03:17.000 --> 03:18.000
I just need your MAC address,

03:18.000 --> 03:22.000
which is, you know, the Ethernet
address

03:22.000 --> 03:23.000
for my airport card,

03:23.000 --> 03:26.000
which is unique to any Ethernet
device.

03:26.000 --> 03:29.000
Otherwise, I could've used the
USB wireless card

03:29.000 --> 03:34.000
from them or wireless the
adapter, I guess.

03:34.000 --> 03:36.000
So, I just get my MAC address
and boom, you know,

03:36.000 --> 03:38.000
free Wi-Fi, and it was cranking.

03:38.000 --> 03:43.000
I downloaded hundreds of
megabytes of podcasts

03:43.000 --> 03:45.000
while I was awake, and while I
was sleeping.

03:45.000 --> 03:47.000
So, well worth the price of
admission.

03:47.000 --> 03:48.000
The room was good.

03:48.000 --> 03:51.000
Yeah, the remote control wasn't
quite bolted on to the
nightstand.

03:51.000 --> 03:53.000
So, in my book,

03:53.000 --> 03:55.000
if you got a remote that's not
bolted on,

03:55.000 --> 03:57.000
you're in a hotel that's good
enough, you know,

03:57.000 --> 03:59.000
you got cold running water.

03:59.000 --> 04:02.000
And you got your Wi-Fi, which is
really reliable,

04:02.000 --> 04:05.000
then it's all a good thing.

04:05.000 --> 04:09.000
And the return journey was just
as beautiful,

04:09.000 --> 04:11.000
you know, got on the plane,

04:11.000 --> 04:13.000
got to the airport a little bit
early, had some dinner,

04:13.000 --> 04:15.000
hopped on the plane, it left to
the right on time.

04:15.000 --> 04:17.000
It's 7, you arrive at 7, then of
course,

04:17.000 --> 04:18.000
because it's, you know, about,

04:18.000 --> 04:20.000
actually you're at the gate
getting off at 7,

04:20.000 --> 04:22.000
because the flight itself is
only about 36,

04:22.000 --> 04:23.000
37 minutes.

04:23.000 --> 04:25.000
Then guy waiting for me there,

04:25.000 --> 04:26.000
hopped in the car,

04:26.000 --> 04:28.000
and 30 minutes later I was home.

04:28.000 --> 04:29.000
I was home before,

04:29.000 --> 04:31.000
before was even 830.

04:31.000 --> 04:35.000
So, perfect, absolutely perfect
for the commute

04:35.000 --> 04:38.000
back and forth to the
Netherlands,

04:38.000 --> 04:40.000
or any other part of the
mainland for that reason.

04:40.000 --> 04:43.000
So, the reason I'm coming to you
from the A8 studio today

04:43.000 --> 04:45.000
is because it's just so much
going on,

04:45.000 --> 04:48.000
and we just went to Christina's
new school.

04:48.000 --> 04:51.000
Actually, it's a school that we
want to get her into,

04:51.000 --> 04:53.000
so we had to, you know, kind of
show up and say,

04:53.000 --> 04:55.000
hey, you know, can we get this
kid in?

04:55.000 --> 04:57.000
Admissions are a tough thing
here in the UK,

04:57.000 --> 05:00.000
particularly in public schools,

05:00.000 --> 05:02.000
because, you know, full is full,

05:02.000 --> 05:03.000
and if they have no room,

05:03.000 --> 05:05.000
then they just can't admit your
child.

05:05.000 --> 05:08.000
So, seem like they were going to
have a space for her.

05:08.000 --> 05:10.000
In fact, I think I heard the
headmaster say,

05:10.000 --> 05:13.000
well, you know, once we do the
admissions

05:13.000 --> 05:14.000
a little talk there,

05:14.000 --> 05:15.000
and you feel like the paperwork,

05:15.000 --> 05:17.000
and now it's just needs really
is uniform,

05:17.000 --> 05:18.000
and she's good to go.

05:18.000 --> 05:20.000
It's an old request.

05:20.000 --> 05:22.000
I didn't want to play that, our
shoot.

05:22.000 --> 05:24.000
I wanted to play,

05:24.000 --> 05:26.000
oh, man, I totally blew that.

05:26.000 --> 05:27.000
That's not what I want.

05:27.000 --> 05:28.000
Here's what I wanted to play
for.

05:28.000 --> 05:29.000
Silence, silence!

05:29.000 --> 05:34.000
I'm not that fit, but I'm afraid
we'll go.org.

05:34.000 --> 05:37.000
And you're listening to Adam
Curry's Daily Source.

05:37.000 --> 05:39.000
Bloody hell, not even.

05:39.000 --> 05:41.000
Sheep, half of the equipment.

05:41.000 --> 05:43.000
There we go.

05:43.000 --> 05:44.000
There you go.

05:44.000 --> 05:46.000
There you feel my head that's
just learned some public end up.

05:46.000 --> 05:48.000
Adam Curry's Daily Source code.

06:00.000 --> 06:02.000
You're not ready.

06:02.000 --> 06:04.000
I love when people send me
promos,

06:04.000 --> 06:05.000
and I love using them,

06:05.000 --> 06:07.000
please continue to do that.

06:07.000 --> 06:09.000
I go much, Todd.

06:09.000 --> 06:11.000
So the reason I'm in the A.A.

06:11.000 --> 06:13.000
is after, you know, we had to do
the school thing,

06:13.000 --> 06:14.000
and that seems all cool.

06:14.000 --> 06:15.000
She's going to get in there.

06:15.000 --> 06:17.000
That was really much easier than
I expected.

06:17.000 --> 06:18.000
We even dressed up.

06:18.000 --> 06:22.000
And we made Christina dressed up
to look a little bit
representative,

06:22.000 --> 06:24.000
and, you know, not her total
gothic look.

06:24.000 --> 06:26.000
That was a struggle this
morning.

06:27.000 --> 06:30.000
And so then I had to take the
girls off to Sainsbury's,

06:30.000 --> 06:33.000
which is the big shopping,

06:33.000 --> 06:36.000
you know, the big grocery store,

06:36.000 --> 06:38.000
mega grocery store.

06:38.000 --> 06:39.000
And at three o'clock,

06:39.000 --> 06:42.000
the ladies have appointments,

06:42.000 --> 06:44.000
oops, that's my recorder.

06:44.000 --> 06:46.000
The ladies have appointments for
their nails,

06:46.000 --> 06:48.000
and hair, and God knows what
else.

06:48.000 --> 06:50.000
And right now it's two o'clock.

06:50.000 --> 06:52.000
So I figured,

06:52.000 --> 06:54.000
what I do is I just bring my kit
with me.

06:54.000 --> 06:58.000
I've got my 12 volt DC to AC
power converter.

06:58.000 --> 07:00.000
I got all my stuff with me.

07:00.000 --> 07:01.000
I just, you know,

07:01.000 --> 07:03.000
slide the chair back a little
bit.

07:03.000 --> 07:04.000
Keep the heater on.

07:04.000 --> 07:06.000
You can probably hear kind of
humming in the background.

07:06.000 --> 07:09.000
And I got my wireless love,

07:09.000 --> 07:11.000
my hanging from the o' Jesus
strap,

07:11.000 --> 07:12.000
which is, you know,

07:12.000 --> 07:14.000
the thing you hold onto when you
go on a sharp corner

07:14.000 --> 07:16.000
and say what Jesus.

07:16.000 --> 07:17.000
And so there it is.

07:17.000 --> 07:20.000
It's just kind of dangling in
front of me.

07:20.000 --> 07:22.000
And it's actually,

07:22.000 --> 07:23.000
I've mentioned this before.

07:23.000 --> 07:25.000
The car is a great place.

07:25.000 --> 07:27.000
If you're looking for a studio,

07:27.000 --> 07:29.000
cars are a perfect place.

07:29.000 --> 07:31.000
You know,

07:31.000 --> 07:33.000
to set up and get a nice quiet
environment.

07:33.000 --> 07:34.000
He let me turn off the,

07:34.000 --> 07:35.000
turn off the,

07:35.000 --> 07:36.000
turn off the,

07:36.000 --> 07:38.000
the blower here.

07:38.000 --> 07:39.000
There we go.

07:39.000 --> 07:40.000
That's better.

07:40.000 --> 07:41.000
Let's, you know,

07:41.000 --> 07:42.000
why don't we just scan the,

07:42.000 --> 07:44.000
the FM dial for a second.

07:44.000 --> 07:46.000
Well, we're in the UK anyway.

07:46.000 --> 07:47.000
We're going to start off with,

07:47.000 --> 07:50.000
the BBC one at the top of the
dial.

07:50.000 --> 07:52.000
Okay.

07:52.000 --> 07:55.000
So they're playing eagle eye
cherry.

07:55.000 --> 07:56.000
Isn't it?

07:56.000 --> 07:57.000
It's like that.

07:57.000 --> 07:58.000
Okay.

07:58.000 --> 07:59.000
Ready or two?

07:59.000 --> 08:00.000
Get off my line.

08:02.000 --> 08:03.000
Uh,

08:03.000 --> 08:05.000
that's really interesting.

08:05.000 --> 08:07.000
Every ball day.

08:07.000 --> 08:08.000
Okay.

08:08.000 --> 08:09.000
And that was going to Virgin,

08:09.000 --> 08:11.000
Virgin F.

08:11.000 --> 08:12.000
Okay.

08:12.000 --> 08:14.000
And that was going to Virgin F.

08:15.000 --> 08:17.000
You know,

08:17.000 --> 08:20.000
let's go to 96 for eagle.

08:20.000 --> 08:21.000
Whatever that is.

08:21.000 --> 08:23.000
The first glasshead in
Secretary.

08:23.000 --> 08:24.000
Council leaders in the south.

08:24.000 --> 08:29.000
Are you still,

08:29.000 --> 08:35.000
have only seen that concerns
about plants about new houses.

08:35.000 --> 08:36.000
Okay.

08:36.000 --> 08:37.000
Let's go to BBC London.

08:37.000 --> 08:38.000
Whatever that is.

08:38.000 --> 08:39.000
Today's weather patch.

08:39.000 --> 08:40.000
You may be able to dial.

08:40.000 --> 08:41.000
It'll be bright.

08:41.000 --> 08:42.000
The showers and the air.

08:42.000 --> 08:49.480

09:24.560 --> 09:29.920
only woman left in the show,
which ends next week and has a
200,000 pounds of price,
London's

09:29.920 --> 09:36.240
weather, writing kind of the
songs that even higher, okay now
kiss 100, I'm just running

09:36.240 --> 09:50.360
on the dial here, I have no idea
or, and now we have LBC 97.3,
jazz FM, we are definitely top
of the

09:50.360 --> 10:02.360
hour in the news and magic FM,
so there you go quick, quick
scan around the FM dial here

10:02.360 --> 10:09.760
in the UK, hello, this is top of
the number of homo, some are
still a dot net, music from

10:09.760 --> 10:16.280
Germany, and you are listening
to the daily source code with a
podcast that he had a

10:16.280 --> 10:21.960
curry, and have boiling, okay I
wanted to make sure that you got
Thomas's promo again

10:21.960 --> 10:27.440
because last time I played
something from some of the
stellar dot net, I totally
messed

10:27.440 --> 10:33.860
up the URL, so now in the
podcast production show notes,
you can find the link to

10:33.860 --> 10:40.220
Thomas Della dot net, which is
German music, it's very cool,
it's a great podcast, and

10:40.220 --> 10:46.200
something that I think should
definitely be added to the pod
squad all in due time, more

10:46.200 --> 10:50.340
about that in a second, first a
little bit more about the UK, I
want to thank you all so

10:50.340 --> 11:00.980
much for responding to my call
to help about television
systems, power plugs, and light

11:00.980 --> 11:09.360
sockets, let me see Dave Raven,
first of all this is
interesting, Dave Raven said it
wasn't

11:09.360 --> 11:13.980
until he heard Patricia talking
about Iván on backing vocals,
that's Patricia's sister

11:13.980 --> 11:19.820
that he connected, he said he
interviewed Iván for BFBS code
in Cologne, was BF British

11:19.820 --> 11:25.100
Forces broadcasting I guess, in
the early 80s, so he says he had
the world is very, very small,

11:25.100 --> 11:29.100
he says that your local TV shop
will tweak your TVs to UK
standard, that I didn't

11:29.100 --> 11:35.740
know, that's cool, also you can
buy ES bulbs of all types, so
you can keep your lamps,

11:35.740 --> 11:40.580
and apparently we just didn't go
to the right, do it yourself
hardware store, now check

11:40.580 --> 11:46.580
this out, he says why the funny
plugs bulbs and TV, well here it
comes, and this always

11:46.660 --> 11:54.740
emases me, and I keep noticing
on television and in newspapers
that a lot of things

11:54.740 --> 11:59.180
that you think might be American
inventions or maybe the Germans
think they invented it

11:59.180 --> 12:03.300
or the Japanese think they
invented it, British have their
own thoughts about who invented

12:03.300 --> 12:11.380
what, oh hold on that's the
traffic report wailing through,
here we go, low-key

12:11.380 --> 12:17.860
bird, L-O-G-I-E, so I guess it's
low-G- or low-key bird, invented
the television, his

12:17.860 --> 12:22.660
nationality was British, so I
guess that's why they get to put
the audio frequency wherever

12:22.660 --> 12:27.540
they want, I did not know that,
I thought it was like, you know,
Mr. Xeneth, who invented

12:27.540 --> 12:35.300
the television, Joseph Swan
demonstrated the electric light
a year before Edison,
nationality,

12:35.300 --> 12:40.220
British, so I guess that means
he gets to put fucked up
bayonet, connectors on it, if
you

12:40.220 --> 12:45.660
want, but that's amazing, I
never heard about Joseph Swan,
that he demonstrated the
electric

12:45.660 --> 12:49.100
light a year before Edison, then
how come Edison gets all the
credit or is that only in the

12:49.100 --> 12:55.740
states that he gets all the
credit? William Gilbert coined
the word electricity,
nationality,

12:55.740 --> 13:02.780
British, now what I remember
from my history lessons, didn't
Benjamin Franklin, this is the
way

13:02.780 --> 13:08.220
Americans learned about the
discovery of electricity,
Benjamin Franklin was flying a
kite with a

13:08.300 --> 13:13.420
wire on it with a key at the
end, and he got electrocuted
when lightning struck his kite
during

13:13.420 --> 13:18.940
a storm, and that apparently is
when he went, well, Boeing
electricity, apparently not,

13:19.660 --> 13:23.980
well, I have to take it from
Dave that William Gilbert coined
the word electricity, and then
he

13:23.980 --> 13:30.540
winds up by saying, UK Boeing
over, and regards Dave,
excellent Dave, thank you very
much,

13:30.540 --> 13:35.820
let me see, there's a couple
more emails that got here, Mike
from Holland says, hi Adam,
welcome to

13:35.820 --> 13:39.820
UK, congratulations on the
culture show, peace, short of
general, I love publicity for
podcasting,

13:39.820 --> 13:45.820
boo, oh, here's one about plug
TV systems, here's one for you,
can you explain, oh, this is a
good one,

13:46.460 --> 13:53.100
he says, can you explain, well,
all electric sockets in the
Netherlands are halfway up the
wall,

13:53.100 --> 13:57.180
that's always puzzling me, why
not have them at floor level
like over here, so they're not
so obvious,

13:58.620 --> 14:04.300
okay, very good question, that
is something we noticed as well,
and I believe it's twofold,

14:04.380 --> 14:10.140
one is it was safety for
children, kind of like the way I
guess UK has switched next to
every single

14:11.100 --> 14:16.220
electrical outlet that they
have, which is probably also a
safety thing as well, but I also
believe,

14:16.220 --> 14:22.460
because most of the Netherlands
is several feet under below sea
level, thus underwater,

14:23.420 --> 14:29.500
flooding certainly occurred back
in the day, and yeah, when
flooding occurred, you know, you
want to have

14:29.500 --> 14:33.420
a little bit of space there
before it hits the electrical
sockets, that's the only answer
I've

14:33.500 --> 14:36.940
ever heard, it may not be the
correct one, there's something
else if you ever come to the

14:36.940 --> 14:42.860
Netherlands, you may notice that
the toilets in Holland don't
just have like a hole down into
water,

14:42.860 --> 14:50.700
they have a shelf, there's an
actual shelf, and you know,
stuff just kind of sits there
until

14:50.700 --> 14:56.860
you flush it, and I remember
moving to the Netherlands and
inquiring about that thinking
was very

14:56.940 --> 15:04.540
weird, and the way that happened
is that the first toilets were
made for hospitals, and the same

15:04.540 --> 15:11.020
company that made the toilets
for hospitals basically just
continue to make them for for
domestic

15:11.020 --> 15:16.140
use for people's homes, and in a
hospital it's quite handy to
have a little shelf there to
check

15:16.140 --> 15:22.380
some stuff out, and that's the
story behind that, hey, I'm
almost as good as Patricia with

15:22.380 --> 15:28.540
a Stevie next stuff, aren't I?
Now, one more TV solutions,
where do we have here, this is
from Toby

15:28.540 --> 15:33.420
Jeffy, oh yeah, he said
something, okay, so here's the
actual technical deal with the
televisions,

15:33.420 --> 15:38.060
reason you can't hear the UK
audio on your TV is that the
rest of Europe uses PAL GPH for

15:38.060 --> 15:44.620
UHF, which is a 5.5 megahertz
audio offset, whereas the UK
South Africa, Ireland and the
Hong Kong

15:44.620 --> 15:51.660
used PAL I, which is a six
megahertz offset for the audio,
not sure what PAL does this, or
PAL I does this,

15:51.660 --> 15:57.500
but basically means that the RF
reception is going to, you're
going to not going to hear the
audio,

15:57.500 --> 16:02.540
one way around it, and this is
something that I actually
thought about myself, is if you
get a free

16:02.540 --> 16:06.380
view box, which I told you
about, the stuff that pulls
digital channels out of thin
air,

16:06.380 --> 16:10.540
you can use this scarred, and I
do believe that the scarred is
just a pure audio and video in
the

16:10.540 --> 16:16.780
start, the scarred connector
when those broad, multi-prong
connectors, so I'm hoping that
once we

16:16.860 --> 16:22.700
get our credit cards and either
UK issued credit card to get
sky, to get the sky satellite
system,

16:22.700 --> 16:27.660
and then I'll be able to connect
a couple of TVs up using the set
top box going directly to the

16:27.660 --> 16:36.140
scarred to the scarred
connector. So that's it about
that for the, then that's also
minor really

16:36.140 --> 16:42.620
when all things considered is
not bad at all, and we're
fitting in quite perfectly, even
with

16:42.620 --> 16:48.380
the small, you know, these small
little differences. Ross Jones
sent me a link, which I actually

16:48.380 --> 16:52.700
posted on my weblog, another
link in the production show
notes for today's Daily Source
Code,

16:54.140 --> 17:03.100
that the BBC is doing a show on
radio six tomorrow about the
ever so popular, quote, unquote,

17:03.100 --> 17:08.380
podcasting, so I'll be sure to,
hopefully get a recording of
that, or at least be able to

17:08.380 --> 17:13.420
listen to it and report back on
what the BBC is doing with that.
Again, the BBC is really

17:13.420 --> 17:19.180
getting into into podcasting. I
can feel it. There's no like
official sanctioned, you know,

17:19.180 --> 17:22.700
really yet, but I know the
technicians are all over it, and
I know a lot of the people who
are

17:23.500 --> 17:28.380
who are presenters and producers
are still, you know, very
interested in doing whatever
they can with

17:28.380 --> 17:35.980
podcasting. Along the lines of
the culture show that aired last
week, Stuart Hunter has also
posted

17:36.060 --> 17:42.460
an MPEG version of the
podcasting segment for all of
you who are having problems with
the MP4 version,

17:42.460 --> 17:48.300
and he's placed that as a bit
torrent. Again, that URL
available from the pod show
production notes

17:48.300 --> 17:54.540
for today's Daily Source Code.
Let's get another little promo
here. Hello everybody,

17:54.540 --> 17:59.420
different lines, the digital man
from the digital experience
podcast. I want to invite all of
you

17:59.420 --> 18:06.220
to check us out. Our weekly
podcast includes non-real music,
news and information, podcast
reviews,

18:06.220 --> 18:10.220
and upfront political talks with
Dan and Craig. We're kind of
like Adam Curry,

18:10.220 --> 18:15.740
only we never lived in a castle.
We drive on the right side of
the road,

18:17.900 --> 18:24.060
and there are very few. So check
out the weekly digital
experience podcast,

18:24.140 --> 18:34.060
only at lands.pfil.com. All
righty. Gotta say I'm hearing
more everybody's popping up
every single day,

18:34.060 --> 18:40.460
and that's actually the cover
real all requests that I played
by accident earlier in the show.

18:40.460 --> 18:45.660
Check it out. Just listen to how
people are saying every body.
It's an all-request Sunday on
cover

18:45.740 --> 18:54.380
ville, everybody. By the way, I
totally love the Beatles
coverville, which was the
Thanksgiving

18:54.380 --> 19:01.980
version. Man, that kicks so much
ass. It was wonderful to hear. I
suggest you check that out if
you

19:01.980 --> 19:08.460
haven't yet. Great stories,
great versions by other artists,
and it came right after I was
watching

19:08.460 --> 19:14.060
this wonderful BBC program,
which I'll also put a link to on
the on the podcast show notes.

19:15.740 --> 19:22.780
A couple of years back, someone
found an old analog portable
jute box that belonged to John

19:22.780 --> 19:28.300
Lennon. I think they found it in
an auction. So it's literally,
it's like a case, you open this

19:28.300 --> 19:36.700
case up, and in it is a whole
mechanism, plus these 45 RPM
vinyl singles, and it was his
personal

19:36.700 --> 19:41.020
jute box. And he'd filled it up
with, so kind of like the the
iPod of the day, right?

19:41.740 --> 19:49.260
And it was found intact with all
the original 45s that John
Lennon put there in there
himself,

19:49.260 --> 19:54.620
written down a couple of been
changed around. And basically
what they did is they took this
jute box

19:54.620 --> 20:01.820
and went to all the people who
songs were in it. And it was
amazing. I mean, they also took

20:01.820 --> 20:06.860
the people who a couple people
who weren't in it, but so like
sting for instance. But they,

20:06.940 --> 20:13.500
you know, they found all these
old blues artists and singers.
And it was, you know, I'll put a
link

20:14.540 --> 20:19.020
to the show. I don't know if
there's any video available, but
it was a fabulous, fabulous
show.

20:19.020 --> 20:22.700
Again, just, and it wasn't even
the BBC. I think it was ITV
actually, one of the,

20:22.700 --> 20:27.260
one of the commercial stations.
It was just a great, great show.
I wonder if it was, it looked
like

20:27.260 --> 20:31.500
was it was all English names on
the credit. So I guess it was a
UK production. I have no idea if

20:32.460 --> 20:38.380
it's new or if it was repeat or
if it's ever aired anywhere. But
I was, yeah, I was totally
amazed

20:38.380 --> 20:44.060
by that. And then, but on the
heels of that to hear the
coverville, the coverville of
the Beatles

20:44.060 --> 20:52.380
was absolutely fantastic. Just
beautiful. Let's see, what did
we want to handle today? A
couple

20:52.380 --> 21:03.580
more plugs. What is this UPEI?
Okay. Justin, Doran. Can't stop
listening to your show. Good
stuff.

21:03.580 --> 21:07.260
Just wanted to let you know. I'm
starting a new university web
radio station podcasting service

21:07.260 --> 21:12.220
over here. The University of
Prince Edward Island in Canada.
Your show provides a lot of
inspiration

21:12.220 --> 21:19.740
for it. And he had links to, did
I just play that promo? I'll put
the email in the, in the

21:19.740 --> 21:26.380
show notes. A little
discombobulated today, sitting
in the car trying to do this.
And also Studio Geek

21:26.380 --> 21:32.780
another podcast you want to
check out with an RIA free
podcast, which I heard someone
the other

21:32.780 --> 21:37.740
day say, RIA. Maybe that's the
way we should just categorize
it. RIA. It's the, instead of
RIA,

21:37.740 --> 21:42.940
just say, RIA. I think that's
probably the best way to go.
Want to give a little attention

21:42.940 --> 21:50.780
to the new sports node on the
iPodor.org directory. And I kind
of messed it up. I was talking

21:50.780 --> 21:58.540
about the, what is it? The, the,
the skinny on sports podcast.
And I'd confuse it, the skinny
on

21:58.540 --> 22:06.780
sports podcast with Curtis, who
is actually, does the sports pod
at the sports pod.com. And
Curtis

22:06.780 --> 22:10.380
is actually the person who has
been working with me for the
past two weeks trying to get an

22:10.380 --> 22:17.340
OPML file just right so that we
can get it into the directory.
And it was a real, I mean,

22:17.340 --> 22:22.140
it was just like giving birth.
And even though I have no idea
what I'm talking about when it
comes

22:22.140 --> 22:27.580
to that, it was really painful.
So we finally got it to work.
It's up and running. And Curtis

22:27.580 --> 22:31.260
is actually going to write up a
little document to assist people
when they get into the loop that

22:31.260 --> 22:36.140
we got into with, with trying to
get the right OPML just, you
know, just perfect so that the

22:36.220 --> 22:43.500
directory would parse it all. So
apologies there. The skinny on
sports is of course now listed

22:43.500 --> 22:49.100
in the, in the directory, but
it's really Curtis who's
maintaining this and he's got
all kinds

22:49.100 --> 22:57.580
of sports podcasts. Check out
the sports, what is it? The
sports, the sports pod, sports
pod.com.

22:57.580 --> 23:05.820
Again, all information linked
into the appropriate places, of
course, from the iPodor.org
directory.

23:06.220 --> 23:15.180
And we're working on a lot of
OPML stuff. Droo from Don and
Drew has also gotten the OPML
bug.

23:15.180 --> 23:20.060
And I think what's going to
happen pretty soon is this whole
concept of the pod squad,

23:20.060 --> 23:24.860
which essentially is, oh, I
eight or nine podcasts that
just, you know, are my
favorites.

23:24.860 --> 23:28.940
We're going to start linking
those together and, and, and
really having a lot of the
information

23:28.940 --> 23:34.300
flow from one to the next and
also make it easy for people to
subscribe to an entire,

23:35.180 --> 23:40.460
basically a station or a network
in one go. So just here's one
file, drag it into your iPodor

23:40.460 --> 23:45.660
and boom, you're subscribed. And
it should also maybe put them
into a separate, I'm thinking,

23:45.660 --> 23:50.380
I don't know, maybe we should
put them into a separate
playlist on your MP3 player.

23:50.380 --> 23:54.860
Not quite sure yet, but a big
part of that is going to be
these production notes and how
we flow

23:54.860 --> 24:01.180
things from, from one podcast to
the next. And maybe how we can,
you know, all together, you
know,

24:01.180 --> 24:07.420
as a, as a group, as a pod
squad, maybe we can figure out
how to promote certain songs
together,

24:07.420 --> 24:11.420
or who knows? But it's
definitely high on the radar for
getting stuff rolling.

24:12.460 --> 24:19.660
As is the bit torrent method of
distribution, boy, this has been
a big thing on the mailing
lists.

24:19.660 --> 24:24.460
And unfortunately, too many
private emails over the past
week, which I think we've kind
of

24:24.460 --> 24:30.300
gotten out of the private email
circuit by now. But Dave Winner
and I co-authored,

24:30.460 --> 24:36.780
where I think it's just going to
be the simplest way to get an
alternative form of distribution

24:36.780 --> 24:42.300
for podcasters who, you know,
are trying to figure out a way
of distributing their
podcasters,

24:42.300 --> 24:47.980
more efficiently than just
putting an MP3 up and letting
everyone hammer the MP3 file
directly.

24:48.780 --> 24:55.180
So we've come up with a bit
torrent name space for RSS. And
it's really simple. All it
solves is

24:55.180 --> 25:00.300
one thing. And that's what I
like about it. It just gives you
a way to add an alternative

25:00.300 --> 25:06.060
download location and download
method specifically for a bit
torrent. It's not trying to
solve

25:06.060 --> 25:11.420
anything else than that, which
is why I like it because RSS is
supposed to be simple. So the
next

25:11.420 --> 25:14.940
thing we'll be working on, I
think, is this OPML. Of course,
we're going to figure out, you
know,

25:14.940 --> 25:20.380
I don't know if there should be
an OPML namespace or whatever.
In fact, I've just looking at
RSS

25:20.380 --> 25:28.860
an OPML, both in an outliner.
I'm trying to think how can we
connect those two, but I'm not
sure yet.

25:29.740 --> 25:34.940
And hey, it's only Monday. Damn.
This is the brain's work in a
way too hard.

25:36.380 --> 25:42.460
It's not often that I come
across something from Andrew
Grummett's feeds. I'm subscribed
to a

25:42.460 --> 25:49.420
couple of different RSS feeds
that he has with the RSS 2.0 and
in closures. And something
finally

25:49.500 --> 25:56.060
came across the wire off of
Andrew Grummett's, I guess this
is podcast feed. And it was so
cute.

25:56.780 --> 26:01.100
It took me a while that it took
me two plays actually to figure
out what was going on.

26:02.300 --> 26:08.940
But this is, it's he came
through as, see, was it
categorized as the Grummett
family players

26:10.060 --> 26:14.940
from Andrew Grummett's audio
weblog. The tune is Freddie
Freeloader and I guess this

26:15.340 --> 26:20.060
um, I'm going to kid shoot see a
nine mile online here in the
car. I'm thinking it's Andrew

26:20.060 --> 26:25.020
of one kid or two. I think he
has one child. So I think that
the deal is Andrew is kind of
doing

26:25.020 --> 26:30.380
the melody and then his child is
blowing on whatever he's blowing
on.
