WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:04.160 daily source code for Tuesday, January 18th, 2005. 00:04.160 --> 00:09.000 Transmeters, we don't need no stinkin' transmitters. 00:09.000 --> 00:12.440 Oh, I'm drowsing casting with Adam Curry. 00:12.440 --> 00:14.840 You coming to hear from the cottage? 00:14.840 --> 00:18.240 The power of the door, the door, the door, the door, the door. 00:18.240 --> 00:19.240 Hey, everyone. 00:19.240 --> 00:20.240 How you doing? 00:20.240 --> 00:25.120 Welcome to the daily source code, as I said today is January 18th, it's Tuesday, 2005. 00:25.120 --> 00:29.480 That's the new thing we're doing now, it's help everyone queue up the new, uh, oops. 00:30.040 --> 00:31.480 That was interesting. 00:31.480 --> 00:37.480 You have the new, uh, source code just by the day to do a little tag at the beginning of the show. 00:37.480 --> 00:41.480 Anyway, it's the power of pure intellect to work. 00:43.480 --> 00:49.480 Although that intellect is not to be found at British Telecom, or easy nap today. 00:49.480 --> 00:53.480 Currently, the time is 11 a.m. here at Curry Cottage in the, 00:54.480 --> 00:59.480 affluent Surrey Suburb of Gilford in the UK, and, um, 00:59.480 --> 01:06.480 I've been on the phone again this morning trying to get that last 15 meters of cable connected to the house here, 01:06.480 --> 01:10.480 and boy, have a lot of fun not getting it done, right? 01:10.480 --> 01:14.480 I'm pissed off about a lot of things today, so this should be a good show. 01:14.480 --> 01:18.480 Look forward to sharing with you the next 40 minutes is your daily source code. 01:19.480 --> 01:28.480 You know, last night, um, I called, uh, I called a couple people in the states, uh, 01:28.480 --> 01:34.480 a couple podcasters, actually I spoke to, uh, to Drew from, uh, Don and Drew show, 01:34.480 --> 01:40.480 and he and I have been actually been exchanging emails with him with his lovely wife, Don, 01:40.480 --> 01:45.480 threatening to call, and of course, they're so nice and so polite, they never call me, right? 01:46.480 --> 01:49.480 Um, and here's the problem that I run into. I don't know if anyone who lives over in Europe 01:49.480 --> 01:54.480 and deals with, um, communicating with the states in real time from time to time. 01:55.480 --> 01:59.480 Uh, probably has this, uh, the same issue is that by the time it's, you know, 01:59.480 --> 02:03.480 you're going to call someone, like Drew gets off work at five o'clock, um, 02:03.480 --> 02:09.480 mountain time, I guess there's a central, whatever, uh, which means that's 11 p.m. here in the UK. 02:09.480 --> 02:14.480 Well, it used to be midnight in, uh, in Belgium when, uh, when we're living in the castle. 02:14.480 --> 02:19.480 And for, well, I mean, so the 11 p.m. is one thing, right, because it's kind of like the end of my day. 02:19.480 --> 02:24.480 I'm getting ready to go to bed. Um, yes, old and boring at 40, go to bed at 11. He leaven. 02:24.480 --> 02:30.480 He leaven, dammit. Um, but in my case, there's an extra handicap, because I'm usually pretty much 02:30.480 --> 02:34.480 baked around 9 p.m. And then what happens is like, oh, man, I should call it. 02:34.480 --> 02:39.480 So I can should call Don Drew. I should, I want to talk to him, but then I'm just, oh, man, 02:39.480 --> 02:44.480 I'm not going to be coherent. I don't want to be saying, um, and actually a cop to that, 02:44.480 --> 02:48.480 uh, to Drew yesterday and he said, oh, dude, I totally know what you talk about. 02:48.480 --> 02:51.480 But you're talking about, so that's good. So I, so I feel like, uh, like, 02:51.480 --> 02:58.480 people understand my pain. Um, but it really is, it truly is an issue. Um, the time difference, 02:58.480 --> 03:02.480 even though it's only five hours, it's still it's more than you think. Anyway, 03:02.480 --> 03:05.480 uh, lots of talk about today. I got a lot of feedback from yesterday's show. 03:05.480 --> 03:10.480 The first thing is a glaring error that I made. Of course, it is not Jamie Far, uh, 03:10.480 --> 03:15.480 who played Ray Charles in, uh, in the movie Ray, but Jamie Foxx. I did have in 03:15.480 --> 03:18.480 living color correct. Uh, that's the show that he became, uh, 03:18.480 --> 03:23.480 most famous, uh, or that he really broke through on, I guess. Um, and we watched the Golden Globes 03:23.480 --> 03:28.480 last night, uh, it was a tape delay. And, uh, so it was like, was a three and a half 03:28.480 --> 03:31.480 out. No, it nine to let that two and a half hour show. We watched it here on, uh, 03:31.480 --> 03:37.480 I guess was on ITV, uh, boring. God, man, that's gotten so predictable and just 03:37.480 --> 03:42.480 boring. Hmm. It's no wonder in the States, the show, uh, 03:42.480 --> 03:46.480 the show got kicked in the in the ratings by Desperate Housewives. Come on, 03:46.480 --> 03:50.480 don't you know, does you tell of his an executives? No, what people want? 03:50.480 --> 03:52.480 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, 03:53.480 --> 03:56.480 um, there was some real sincerity, though, I like the way Jamie Foxx, uh, 03:56.480 --> 04:01.480 accepted his award, uh, because apparently it wasn't independent film, uh, 04:01.480 --> 04:05.480 some independent finance year pulled $35 million out of his pocket and said, 04:05.480 --> 04:08.480 hey, let's go make this movie. And then it got picked up. I mean, 04:08.480 --> 04:12.480 very much the way I see a lot of podcasts, uh, the way they will go, 04:12.480 --> 04:15.480 at least for the foreseeable future because radio and television is not dead by a 04:15.480 --> 04:19.480 long shot, my friends. But I do see that we'll have some podcasts, 04:19.480 --> 04:23.640 casters who will break into the mainstream, more importantly probably is that we'll see some 04:23.640 --> 04:28.760 music breaking into mainstream and getting a, quote, real recording contract. I'm looking 04:28.760 --> 04:34.120 forward to helping a lot of people getting there. That's one of the missions that I'm taking 04:34.120 --> 04:38.200 upon myself for the, for the next foreseeable future, which would probably be a part of any 04:38.200 --> 04:42.040 commercial venture that, that I take part in, which would get in close to figuring someone 04:42.040 --> 04:47.080 that stuff out. Although before any of that can be figured out, I have to get my freaking 04:47.080 --> 04:53.720 broadband, okay? And yesterday, not a peep out of easy net or British telecom, no one called 04:53.720 --> 04:58.040 me. I figured it give him one day after the weekend after I was, you know, doing the rounds 04:58.040 --> 05:02.680 on Friday and easy net, Lee from easy net. I'm not going to use last names, but I'll certainly 05:02.680 --> 05:06.840 use first names. Lee promised me, oh yeah, we'll keep you up the speed. Let you know what's going 05:06.840 --> 05:19.480 on, fucking bullshit. Bullshit, okay? So today, I called up at 9 o'clock Lee who has been my 05:19.480 --> 05:23.560 contact. There's no longer answering his phone. I figured that's because I have my caller ID on 05:23.560 --> 05:27.400 and he just doesn't want to be bothered and he's there for, it's not going to voice Miller anything 05:27.400 --> 05:35.800 it's just ringing and ringing and ringing. So I called the guy who sold me this wonderful service, 05:35.880 --> 05:41.480 his name is Philip. Philip wasn't in, but I did get through to somebody and I've decided that I'm 05:41.480 --> 05:47.000 going to record every single phone call with British telecom and with easy net and replay them here 05:47.000 --> 05:52.520 for you so you can hear just how excellent and how helpful the friendly fucking services. Let's see 05:52.520 --> 05:56.840 what this part is. This is, all right, I was just put on hold for a second with this guy was trying 05:56.840 --> 06:01.880 to find Philip, the sales guy that originally sold me the easy net package. I'm not getting any 06:01.880 --> 06:06.920 luck on his phone. I'm sending him an email that you called and came to get back in touch with you. 06:08.760 --> 06:14.920 Well, maybe you can help me. I'm just really looking for anyone with an easy net to help me at this 06:14.920 --> 06:21.560 point. My line was installed on January. Listen to the guy, he's going like, okay, he knows that 06:21.560 --> 06:26.280 this is the shit call, right? He's going like, oh fuck, what if the pick of the goddamn phone, 06:26.280 --> 06:32.200 I get the gas holes? Hey, I saw the like match for a second, didn't I? You know what? That's it. 06:32.200 --> 06:35.800 Yeah, I got a real threat for you in mind. Hold on, let's listen to the rest of this call. 06:35.800 --> 06:46.040 May the fourth. Yeah. And apparently British telecom neglected to connect the curb to the new wiring 06:46.040 --> 06:52.680 in the house. And I've literally been trying for two weeks to get anyone to complete this job and I'm 06:52.680 --> 06:58.360 not getting a lot of love from using it. That's for sure. Yeah. And I need someone to escalate 06:58.360 --> 07:03.880 this somewhere to get this going because it's now been two weeks that the line is literally 07:03.880 --> 07:10.120 disconnected by 15 meters of wire. Yeah. Okay. Well, what's your company name there? I don't know. 07:10.120 --> 07:14.280 Okay. So, you know, now it's like, he should have asked me what my company name was. The minute 07:14.280 --> 07:19.560 before you even try to get the sales guy. But okay, I'll let him slide on this. So, of course, 07:19.560 --> 07:24.760 I have a great company name, right? I look on Polder. Okay. Seven minutes. 07:27.320 --> 07:34.040 Silicon Polder, you ask? Polder, POL, DER. Okay. Now listen to this. 07:40.040 --> 07:45.080 Right. He's looking at the file now. He's going, oh fuck. This is the, this is the trouble case. 07:45.080 --> 07:47.960 I want to bounce this one away from you as soon as possible. 07:48.520 --> 07:51.400 I can give you the number of the provisioning department. 07:51.400 --> 07:56.360 Oh, that's not going to do it for me today. I've been through all the provisioning departments. 07:56.360 --> 08:00.280 They're all saying it's British telecoms fault. So, I think it'll come right back to sales. 08:00.280 --> 08:06.120 The people who sold it to me. I've been around this loop multiple times. He's with me through 08:06.120 --> 08:09.960 the provisioning now. Oh, no. Not going to work. Because I would assume that would be the best 08:09.960 --> 08:15.240 assessment that does that. I want to respond to people for it. I don't know what they're saying 08:15.560 --> 08:19.640 is they're not responsible. British telecom is responsible and they hope it'll happen soon. 08:19.640 --> 08:24.360 But at this point, my business is severely suffering. Now, you see, I'm sliding in a little 08:24.360 --> 08:28.840 something here, which is true, right? Because remember, I am an asshole American. We love to 08:28.840 --> 08:35.720 litigate the fuck out of people. Oh, I'm really getting, I'm, you know, how about emotional distress? 08:35.720 --> 08:43.880 My marriage is under actual strain here. BT, eating net fuckers. And it's past all promise dates. 08:43.880 --> 08:51.240 And there were a lot of promises when I signed up. And, you know, what needs to happen is 08:51.240 --> 08:57.240 eating that needs to talk to BT, which as far as I understand is a commercial company. And tell 08:57.240 --> 09:03.080 them that they are out of line and need to get this done today. I mean, literally out of line, 09:03.080 --> 09:07.720 15 meters of line. All these, I've had three guys here, but all the wrong guys who can't dig a 09:07.720 --> 09:13.400 fucking trench. Oh, boy, I tried a little bit of humor, but I slipped. I didn't mean to say 09:13.400 --> 09:18.360 fucking, but now it's getting a little frustrated, as you can understand. What I'm going to do 09:18.360 --> 09:23.080 then, because when you become an agent at customer, you get an account manager and we're really 09:23.080 --> 09:26.760 through to, I'm going to put you through to that gentleman. Who is that? But you haven't got 09:26.760 --> 09:29.960 one to signed yet, but I'm going to try and put you through to my colleague, Mark, if he's free. 09:29.960 --> 09:33.560 Okay. And, and each of you, I'm just going to say, Tony, she put this for you, and then help you 09:33.560 --> 09:37.640 with your business in the future. That will be good. Okay, so be patient with me. I don't want to see 09:37.640 --> 09:42.040 a fucking piece. Okay, thank you. Okay, so far, so far, this guy's saying all the right things, 09:42.040 --> 09:46.040 right? I definitely want to have an account manager. It's interesting. I didn't have an account 09:46.040 --> 09:52.040 manager up until today, and he's going to help me with my business, so he's saying all the right things 09:52.040 --> 09:56.440 there. You know, this is stuff that's making me feel really good. However, this whole music 09:56.440 --> 10:00.040 didn't make me feel so good. 10:04.920 --> 10:08.600 We're sorry to keep you racing. Your call will be handled shortly. 10:08.920 --> 10:12.920 Creative, huh? 10:14.920 --> 10:21.960 So this again was nine 15 this morning. After I'd already called the league guy, who said he would 10:21.960 --> 10:27.800 keep me posted of anything and would call me on Monday and didn't. So I'm figuring this guy's running 10:27.800 --> 10:32.280 around and going like, god, terrible. I got this dickhead on the phone. Thank you for holding. Your call will be 10:32.280 --> 10:37.640 dealt with as soon as possible. I don't like being dealt with, man. I don't like being dealt with, 10:37.640 --> 10:46.760 I like being helped. I like being serviced. So you only wonder what the guy was doing. You know, 10:46.760 --> 10:50.920 did he get this guy in the phone? Did he explain who I was? Did he explain that I'm a customer? 10:50.920 --> 10:55.400 That I don't have a customer representative yet? No one is helping with me with my business. 10:55.400 --> 10:59.000 Sorry to keep you racing. Your call will be handled shortly. 10:59.000 --> 11:04.920 Hmm, now I'm going to be handled instead of dealt with. All right. My call was being handled. 11:05.720 --> 11:12.280 I could have edited this out, but it was too much fun to put you guys to the same pain I went through this 11:12.280 --> 11:17.400 morning. So I'm literally just waiting just waiting. Hello Adam. Yes. So it's keeping you an old 11:17.400 --> 11:23.960 end. Um, I had a discussion with the, yeah, kind of element thing. And they said that it's still kind of 11:23.960 --> 11:29.320 skills, skills issues. I've just spoken to Phil. And he's going to call you back in a minute if that's okay. 11:29.320 --> 11:32.520 Okay, you promise me he's going to come back a minute. Yeah, what's your number though? 11:32.840 --> 11:36.360 Oh, okay. So I should fast forward through that shit night. 11:37.560 --> 11:42.040 And then he doesn't get my number right because he, this is all, I'm not a zero, whatever. 11:42.040 --> 11:46.280 I'm on zero. Yeah. Yeah, I'm on one. Yeah. 11:46.280 --> 11:49.400 The two main numbers in the mobile swipe. No, I don't know the zero in there somewhere. 11:50.120 --> 11:53.320 Okay, that's fine. I'll get to call you back at him. Okay. Okay. Thank you. 11:53.320 --> 11:55.800 Anyway, no problem, cheers. No problem, cheers. 11:55.880 --> 12:03.160 Suck my knob. That was two hours ago. One minute is very long and easy net term. So we're still 12:03.160 --> 12:06.840 waiting. And I have the phone right here actually hoping that someone will call back during this 12:06.840 --> 12:14.680 podcast at which time, of course, I will, I will put the, the phone call through and take it, right? 12:15.880 --> 12:22.040 And Patricia just walked in here earlier. And she said that fairer faucet of Charlie's Angel's 12:22.120 --> 12:26.600 fame. And of course, she lived with the, then she, what was she married to? What's she married to? 12:28.360 --> 12:32.520 Shoot. I don't know. She's a little bit wacky, but I kind of like her because she's, because she's a little bit wacky. 12:33.240 --> 12:38.040 Now she's more than wacky. I'd have to say she's extremely wacky. She is suing. 12:38.040 --> 12:43.000 I didn't get the full details, but she's suing a or, or multiple cosmetics companies because 12:43.000 --> 12:47.880 she's so sick and tired of the lies they tell, of the fake commercials. And this is exactly what 12:47.960 --> 12:53.320 Patricia says. Every single time she sees like the remote mascara commercial come on and just say, 12:53.320 --> 12:58.920 it's God, the fucking fake fake eyelashes. They're pretending that this mascara gives you these 12:58.920 --> 13:03.240 beautiful long eyelashes. And they're fake. They're fake put on eyelashes. They're not even real 13:03.240 --> 13:06.840 eyelashes. And of course, you know, I said, well, but, you know, dear, look at Vogue. You know, 13:06.840 --> 13:12.760 every single pictures photo shop. It's models don't have to lose weight or, or keep their weight 13:12.760 --> 13:16.600 down or throw up or smoke cigarettes at all for their weight. I mean, they do it because they're 13:16.600 --> 13:22.120 hooked on this shit, right? No, they, they just let it, you know, everything's photoshopped away. 13:22.120 --> 13:25.960 It's like everything is like the fake radio voices that have turned us all on to podcasting and 13:25.960 --> 13:31.800 getting into some real real stuff on on the radio or on your iPod or MP3 player, just audio sound, 13:31.800 --> 13:38.440 you know. And so fair fuss that is pissed off about this and she wants to sue the entire 13:38.440 --> 13:42.840 cosmetics industry or something like that. But I'm going to get Patricia on that. Maybe tomorrow 13:42.920 --> 13:47.320 and we'll do a podcast. Well, I'll have her on as a special guest that talk about everything 13:47.320 --> 13:51.400 fake in the cosmetics business, which she can know about because she has a cosmetics company. 13:52.600 --> 13:57.400 So that's for tomorrow. Let's see, brief update on some of the stuff that happened yesterday on the 13:57.400 --> 14:03.640 Daily Source Code. We had the trivia, which was sent to me by Stuart Hunter. And he, of course, 14:03.640 --> 14:09.800 as promised, came back to me today, says Adam, that was fun. Fun playing it for you. Anyway, 14:09.880 --> 14:14.360 here are the answers that I didn't get yesterday. I'm not going to play all the sound clips again 14:14.360 --> 14:18.280 for you. But I really hope that people do this. I mean, let's keep it to a top three or top five. 14:18.280 --> 14:23.640 But let's definitely try and stump me. And let's try and keep it 80s and 90s. You can do 60s, 14:23.640 --> 14:28.600 70s and 80s. Okay. The 90s, I was over the hill and I don't know shit anymore. Maybe some, 14:28.600 --> 14:33.480 but I missed a whole bunch. And I lived in, you know, in different countries. So, you know, 14:33.480 --> 14:38.360 different hits. Very hard for me to track. But 60s, 70s and 80s. And I'm from 1964 and I bet 14:38.440 --> 14:44.120 I bet you I could get a lot of 50s tunes, even. That's right. Here's the challenge. 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s. 14:44.120 --> 14:50.360 Because I'm a disco jockey and I have all the Lawrence Welk albums. So, the first song that I 14:50.360 --> 14:54.360 missed actually was Morrissey, every day is like Sunday. I'd never been into Morrissey. So, 14:54.360 --> 14:58.360 that's probably why I didn't even catch it. Wet, wet, wet, love is all around. I had wet, wet, wet, 14:58.360 --> 15:01.400 wet, wet, but at a wrong spot. Visage, fade, degree, I had right. 15:01.400 --> 15:05.000 Live it up. I had the title right, but mental is anything. I didn't have the band, John Farne 15:05.080 --> 15:09.320 the voice I had. Ice house. Shit, a little girl. I should have known that one. The 15:09.320 --> 15:16.840 Connell 74, 74, 75, I think I got half of that title right. And then wonderful life. I got right, 15:16.840 --> 15:23.640 but not black who did it. So, I'd basically pretty much sucked. But would like a rematch. So, 15:23.640 --> 15:29.880 if anyone wants to send in a stump, the podcaster, stumped the prince of pod. Then feel free. 15:29.880 --> 15:34.840 Because that's fun to do. I really do like it. Ken Gantt sent me an email. And all these, of course, 15:34.840 --> 15:39.160 are linked from the show notes, which I'm contemplating today putting in the actual web post itself, 15:39.160 --> 15:44.200 just to make it that much simpler, so that you can get right to it and don't have to go through 15:44.200 --> 15:49.400 OPML or another, I'll still post it as OPML, obviously, because I'm hoping that applications are being 15:49.400 --> 15:54.920 made everywhere. And people are trying to figure out ways to put show notes into their iPodder software. 15:56.200 --> 16:02.920 But he was sent a listening diary by Arbitron. These are the guys that do the ratings for radio in 16:03.000 --> 16:07.800 America. And he says, hopefully I'll go down in podcasting. History is the first person to 16:07.800 --> 16:14.600 document a podcast that's shown my Arbitron radio diary. So, this is how the radio ratings are actually 16:14.600 --> 16:19.080 maintained. Sure, they have some, some meters that people carry with them, but I think the majority 16:19.080 --> 16:25.880 fill out a diary. And your station even gets points if they can name the DJ that's on the show 16:26.760 --> 16:32.360 or on a show or on a station even. And so he had hoped to list the daily source code in the 16:32.360 --> 16:36.040 diary, but couldn't get it around the fact that one of the pieces of data they require for each 16:36.040 --> 16:41.160 entry is whether the show was on AM or FM. And you was afraid that listening that daily source 16:41.160 --> 16:49.080 code might invalidate the diary. So, he did kind of an end around. He said, my favorite show is actually 16:49.640 --> 16:54.840 and he did fill out podcast done by Leo LePort on KFI 640 AM in Los Angeles. Now, of course, 16:54.840 --> 17:00.760 this is great because he lives in Louisville, Kentucky, Ken does. So, there's no way in hell, 17:00.840 --> 17:08.840 he could have, he could have, have listened to this show in Los Angeles. So, let's see, 17:10.280 --> 17:15.240 let's see if if that actually makes a difference. And maybe we should get podcasts on the 17:15.240 --> 17:19.800 Arbitron diary. I mean, if it's a frickin' diary, right? It's, I don't know, it's just a thought. 17:20.360 --> 17:28.040 Lots about the sound seeing tour. I'm going to second open up these outline here. 17:31.560 --> 17:38.600 Lots of people sending in ideas about how to connect GPS data with sound files. And I think 17:38.600 --> 17:43.080 fill up to Ron of in gadget has been working on some of this as well. I guess what we really need is 17:43.080 --> 17:51.640 an iPod or an MP3 player that when you record something, records the GPS data of where the recording 17:51.640 --> 17:56.360 was made. I don't think this is a device that does that. There will actually there are some devices, 17:57.240 --> 18:02.600 but they're usually video. And of course, we need it both ways, right? It's one thing to actually 18:02.600 --> 18:08.040 create a database. And for me to do a sound seeing tour. Oh, by the way, sound seeing.com was already 18:08.040 --> 18:15.080 taken. I got sound seeing tour and sound seeing tours.com. Kind of the same, I guess. Not really 18:15.080 --> 18:21.000 wanted one. But, and some other people registered pod sound seeing and some other things for 18:21.000 --> 18:29.240 which was totally nice to them to do. And what was it? Oh, this was an email from Ryan 18:29.960 --> 18:35.160 who says, hi from Snowy Road Island. Was rather intrigued to hear the Edward R. Moro clip posted 18:35.160 --> 18:39.560 from another listener in the source code yesterday. I said, don't know if you know about CBS 18:39.560 --> 18:47.000 history or the structure of radio at that time in the 1940s. It says that before Edward R. Moro came 18:47.080 --> 18:52.840 to CBS, radio was very much scripted and edited down with little or no live broadcasts at all. 18:53.560 --> 19:02.600 And really, Edward R. Moro was a pioneer in the sound seeing space. And actually wrote a book, 19:03.160 --> 19:07.800 there was a book that came out called Edward R. Moro and the birth of broadcast journalism, 19:07.800 --> 19:11.320 which is something that you might want to read if you're interested in, and really how 19:11.400 --> 19:18.440 the first sound seeing tours got started and that blitz creek over in England. So that email 19:18.440 --> 19:26.440 and others, including some great suggestions for something called geofencing, which Adam Bloom sent to 19:26.440 --> 19:33.480 me. How twisted is that? Adam Bloom. It's like Ron Bloom and Adam Curry had an ugly love child. 19:34.280 --> 19:39.560 Although Adam Bloom isn't ugly and he actually is related to Ron. But he sent me a whole bunch of 19:39.560 --> 19:43.960 cool links which I've also posted in the show notes today that lead to geotracking because 19:43.960 --> 19:48.440 what of course what we need is the reverse. When you're walking down the street and you hit a spot 19:48.440 --> 19:54.280 or let's say you're within 10 meters proximity of a spot where I recorded something. That's when 19:54.920 --> 19:59.000 you know, I want you to be able to access that file or even better it should probably already be 19:59.000 --> 20:04.280 downloaded onto your device and we'll only play when you hit that spot. I mean that of course makes 20:04.360 --> 20:08.040 the most sense. And I think some cell phone people are looking at ways of doing that 20:10.440 --> 20:15.320 where you're cell phone actually then either sends you a message or alternatively I guess could 20:15.960 --> 20:20.440 play some kind of file for you. So just a quote just thinking about it would be cool if we can get 20:20.440 --> 20:28.040 some of that going. But just who got caught? Well I'm going to have myself a real good sound because 20:28.040 --> 20:36.040 I feel alive man. I feel alive. Like I can take the world. I'm just turning inside out baby and floated 20:36.040 --> 20:45.480 around in ecstasy. So don't stop me now. Don't stop me because I'm having a good sound. 20:45.480 --> 20:53.640 Hello Adam. It's Paul here from podcastpool.com. I'd like to thank you for helping me not to sleep. 20:54.040 --> 20:59.720 I came across an article of yours about a month ago on podcasting and for about a month 21:00.600 --> 21:04.600 I've tried to work out of the heck to make a podcast and now I can't stop making them. 21:07.400 --> 21:13.160 My book shows just called Totally Eighties. It's all about the 1980s. Actually I didn't want to do 21:13.160 --> 21:18.600 just about the 1980s. It had such brilliant response. There's been 6,000 hits in the last week. 21:19.480 --> 21:23.880 So thanks very much mate and love the daily source code listen to it every day. 21:24.600 --> 21:28.200 Apart from when you're not doing it. I hope you brought band connections okay. And the 21:28.200 --> 21:34.600 track that you heard was from my friend Dan at dinemosrhythmases.com. They're not yet signed and 21:34.600 --> 21:40.520 that's why podcast is so good to promote super bands like that. All the best mate and as I say 21:40.520 --> 21:46.840 check this out. Totally eighties it's podcastpool.com. It shows you're only about 10 minutes or so. 21:46.840 --> 21:52.120 So you can check it when you go to work or the band cool whatever you do. All the best. Bye 21:52.120 --> 21:57.560 by now. Okay okay so podcastpool.com and actually went to the site of the artist that he mentioned 21:57.560 --> 22:05.400 because I heard a really cool like lounge version of of Queens don't stop me now. And the band 22:06.440 --> 22:10.600 has all these great cover songs that I really really would like to check out and play for in the 22:10.600 --> 22:16.440 source code. Unfortunately no MP3 downloads which you know if you've got an independent band 22:17.000 --> 22:22.280 make sure you can sell your CDs online. But please make some MP3 available. MP3 is available 22:22.280 --> 22:27.880 for podcasts because we really want to help out and you know it's a podcast and good way to get 22:27.880 --> 22:32.520 your stuff heard you know it's a good way to get stuff out there. And there was oh shoot I don't know 22:32.520 --> 22:36.920 if I still have that article here I was keeping it for the longest time and I probably tossed it out. 22:39.320 --> 22:45.240 Elvis Presley is the top of the charts again here in the UK and I was trying to dissect why. Usually 22:45.320 --> 22:49.640 it's because some great you know back in the 80s you know you'd have like some fabulous 22:49.640 --> 22:55.080 Levi's 501 jeans commercial and they'd add like wonderful world or don't remember it don't know 22:55.080 --> 23:00.680 much about history. Oh I should see if I have that song for you actually. And these songs of course 23:00.680 --> 23:04.520 immediately became hits because you know they were they were exposed to a whole new audience 23:04.520 --> 23:08.760 basically the blue jeans buying audience and these songs stand by themselves right the great great 23:08.920 --> 23:15.960 songs. But I didn't think there was any Elvis commercial that I'd seen out and Elvis has a 23:15.960 --> 23:21.480 top of the charts now and then I figured it out. There's all kinds of let me just see what was I 23:21.480 --> 23:32.760 trying to get. Don't know much about history. Wonderful world. Wonderful world this would be 23:33.240 --> 23:38.520 wonderful world yeah I think I have at home let's just listen to that for one second and I've got to 23:39.240 --> 23:47.240 route my iTunes through okay yeah I think this is it. Come on oh yeah now that's not one 23:47.240 --> 23:52.120 I that's that's not what I was thinking now. Guess I don't have it. I thought I had that one. 23:52.920 --> 23:58.280 Oh no I'm not stupid. Who was that? Was it wasn't Louis Armstrong was it? 23:59.160 --> 24:06.920 Shoot okay don't have it sorry to disappoint you there. Anyway and in the paper the other day I 24:06.920 --> 24:11.480 figured it out why you know all these Elvis tunes being re-released of course you know it was 24:11.480 --> 24:19.080 his birthday recently etc. But in the United Kingdom as with the same as with I guess most countries 24:19.080 --> 24:28.040 in the EU copyrights expire after 50 years. Now you'll remember a few years ago Sonny Bono before 24:28.040 --> 24:37.640 he died. Potition to extend that amount of time in the United States to 95 years and actually 24:37.640 --> 24:43.480 Sir Cliff Richard is here with the shadows is is petitioning around now saying you know oh my god 24:43.480 --> 24:47.400 you know all these songs that were big hits for me that I still make money from are about to the 24:47.400 --> 24:52.360 copyrights are about to expire and I'm still alive and you know and I'm going to stop making money on them 24:53.240 --> 24:58.760 and of course you feel bad for Sir Cliff kind of right but on the other hand you know hey this is 24:58.760 --> 25:05.480 what it's about you know now anyone can or should be able to record this song royalty free 25:07.080 --> 25:12.600 or should be able to record it on disc royalty free I did say of course if it's performed 25:12.600 --> 25:17.160 there's still all kinds of rights very confusing the way that works but there is a substantial amount 25:17.160 --> 25:24.200 of income that's about to be lost from from Elvis Presley so first of all podcasts are out there 25:24.840 --> 25:29.800 then now's a great time to you know record some Elvis tunes and get them released over here in the 25:29.800 --> 25:35.080 UK if you record an Elvis tune you know I will gladly help you out and if it's good all 25:35.080 --> 25:39.640 certainly play it on the daily source code but it's not interesting that that can happen here 25:39.640 --> 25:46.200 the copyrights expire after 50 years and that it's 95 years in the States so all kinds of weird stuff 25:46.280 --> 25:51.640 going on with the with music business and of course yesterday I promised you that since I 25:51.640 --> 25:59.160 didn't have time today I would play that song as was promoted by what was it's webcrumbs breadcrumbs 25:59.160 --> 26:04.600 web droppings it's here anyway here's the song it's Robert Burke Warren this is from the CD 26:04.600 --> 26:10.920 Lazy I it's all right pod save music it's called junk man listen to it right here on the daily 26:10.920 --> 26:21.240 source code for January the 18 Tuesday 2005 got no bandwidth see them pretty low 26:23.750 --> 29:07.320 [ Music ] 29:07.320 --> 29:09.320 I gotta help

29:23.320 A couple old little monkey red dog 29:24.320 --> 29:28.320 We back to the living lady 29:28.320 --> 29:48.750 [ Music ] 29:50.320 --> 29:53.320 Robert Bergwarren, he's junk man 29:54.320 --> 29:55.320 Everybody 29:55.320 --> 29:58.320 Your daily source code for Tuesday, January 18th 29:58.320 --> 30:00.320 2000 and five 30:01.320 --> 30:03.320 Something I didn't mention over the weekend 30:04.320 --> 30:07.320 We took Jesse our big dog 30:08.320 --> 30:11.320 Which is a cross between a German shepherd and a golden retriever 30:12.320 --> 30:16.320 We took her to the vet and have a great vet nearby here 30:17.320 --> 30:20.320 Because she hadn't been eating very well or at all for the past week 30:21.320 --> 30:22.320 My dog is dying 30:23.320 --> 30:26.320 She's 12 and a half years old, she's almost 13 30:26.320 --> 30:28.320 She's always been extremely healthy 30:29.320 --> 30:30.320 We got out of the pound when she was 30:31.320 --> 30:33.320 As with all of our animals, we all get them out of the shelter 30:34.320 --> 30:37.320 She was about one or one and a half 30:38.320 --> 30:39.320 Perfect dog 30:40.320 --> 30:42.320 It's just been the best dog you can imagine ever 30:43.320 --> 30:45.320 And her liver is basically failing her 30:46.320 --> 30:48.320 There's nothing you can do really 30:49.320 --> 30:51.320 Except we put it on a different type of diet 30:52.320 --> 30:54.320 She's eating great now 30:54.320 --> 30:56.320 The doctor gave her a couple of antibiotics 30:57.320 --> 30:59.320 It could be a minor infection in her liver 31:00.320 --> 31:02.320 But basically the doctor said very clearly 31:03.320 --> 31:05.320 You know, your dog is at the end of its life 31:06.320 --> 31:07.320 And if she doesn't start eating then it's going to be 31:08.320 --> 31:09.320 It's going to end pretty soon 31:09.320 --> 31:11.320 So we're really happy that she's eating and she's full of life 31:12.320 --> 31:14.320 As long as she's full of life and eating then I'm considering her 31:15.320 --> 31:16.320 Good to go 31:17.320 --> 31:20.320 But yeah, you know, it happens all dogs 31:20.320 --> 31:22.320 And so then we'll have God 31:23.320 --> 31:25.320 We've had so many animals go in the past couple of years 31:26.320 --> 31:28.320 We had Dickie or Dick Ed actually 31:29.320 --> 31:32.320 My cat who I had from my bachelor days in Amsterdam 31:33.320 --> 31:35.320 He was 23 we had Gina, Pinkie 31:36.320 --> 31:38.320 We had to put her down about four years ago 31:39.320 --> 31:41.320 She had a few line aides 31:42.320 --> 31:45.320 Then we had Chrissy, our multi-stog 31:46.320 --> 31:47.320 You've heard her on the podcast, right? 31:47.320 --> 31:50.320 She had to put her down, she was blind and deaf pretty much 31:51.320 --> 31:53.320 She had no quality of life left 31:54.320 --> 31:56.320 She was way old, she was almost 31:57.320 --> 32:00.320 She was also 13, 14 years old 32:01.320 --> 32:04.320 And then we basically will have two cats 32:05.320 --> 32:07.320 And we have shrubber, our little yorky 32:08.320 --> 32:10.320 He's still going strong, he's a crazy mut 32:11.320 --> 32:13.320 Anyway, so that's just a bit of personal biz 32:13.320 --> 32:15.320 Something else a lot of people have been sending the emails about 32:16.320 --> 32:18.320 Which I was aware of since I was talking about easy jet 32:19.320 --> 32:20.320 And I've booked another easy jet flight by the way 32:21.320 --> 32:23.320 Thursday going to Amsterdam couple meetings 32:24.320 --> 32:26.320 Going to finalize the television show that I've been talking about 32:27.320 --> 32:28.320 We basically sold it, now we have to get down to the details 32:29.320 --> 32:31.320 What did I sell, how many episodes did I sell 32:32.320 --> 32:34.320 And you know, what is the budget going to be, etc 32:35.320 --> 32:36.320 So that's kind of fun 32:37.320 --> 32:38.320 And then I have another meeting at Graham Masterview 32:39.320 --> 32:40.320 Which I'm taking on Friday 32:41.320 --> 32:45.320 And what everyone, what every, oops, hold on, there's that drunken thing again 32:46.320 --> 32:47.320 There we go 32:48.320 --> 32:50.320 What everyone's been emailing me about is the introduction of the new airbus 32:51.320 --> 32:52.320 I'm sure by now you've heard about it, it happened yesterday 32:53.320 --> 32:54.320 The new airbus A380 32:55.320 --> 32:57.320 What mother load this is, huh? 32:58.320 --> 32:59.320 It's a double decker 33:00.320 --> 33:02.320 Can carry up to 800 passengers 33:03.320 --> 33:04.320 Which is twice to 747 33:05.320 --> 33:07.320 If configured in all economy, class mode 33:08.320 --> 33:10.320 Virgin airs ordered six of them I think 33:11.320 --> 33:15.320 And in all they have already have like 120 orders or something 33:16.320 --> 33:18.320 But these things looks just awesome, you're so big 33:19.320 --> 33:22.320 And I'm wondering, you know, I have a call into Wing Commander William 33:23.320 --> 33:24.320 I'm going to try and hook up with them Thursday 33:25.320 --> 33:28.320 And get some fixed wind flying and he has a assess number 182 33:29.320 --> 33:31.320 That he's been patching up and I can't wait to try and fly it with him 33:32.320 --> 33:34.320 And I'll ask him, what kind of runway these fuckers need 33:35.320 --> 33:36.320 It's like damn 33:37.320 --> 33:38.320 This thing is so big, it must be so heavy 33:39.320 --> 33:41.320 I mean it can't land everywhere, I have no idea 33:42.320 --> 33:44.320 And as I sit here looking at my screen 33:45.320 --> 33:47.320 I see that there's new software available for my computer 33:48.320 --> 33:49.320 It's the new version of iTunes 33:50.320 --> 33:51.320 Let's not install that on this slow link, shall we? 33:52.320 --> 33:54.320 It's only 8.66 megabytes now 33:56.320 --> 34:00.320 So anyway, I'll get some details on the airbus 380 man 34:01.320 --> 34:03.320 These things are interesting 34:04.320 --> 34:08.320 And I've already heard that some configurations may include a jacuzzi 34:10.320 --> 34:12.320 I thought the sleeper seats were cool 34:13.320 --> 34:15.320 Hey Adam, I'm PW Fenton 34:16.320 --> 34:19.320 Create a radio-free radios digital flatsum 34:20.320 --> 34:23.320 I don't know, maybe you've heard it, I hope you have 34:24.320 --> 34:26.320 But I'm looking for a favor from you 34:28.320 --> 34:30.320 My podcast 34:31.320 --> 34:37.320 Oh, I don't know, I'd call it like the podcast version of the Ed Sullivan show 34:39.320 --> 34:41.320 Well, no longer second 34:42.320 --> 34:44.320 There could only be one Ed Sullivan of podcast thing 34:45.320 --> 34:50.320 In that I try to be just a little bit of everything 34:51.320 --> 34:56.320 There's no guiding light 34:56.320 --> 34:59.320 You might hear some sort of a jazz performance 35:00.320 --> 35:04.320 Followed by a comedy routine 35:05.320 --> 35:08.320 Followed by some kind of a rant 35:09.320 --> 35:10.320 Followed by whatever 35:11.320 --> 35:13.320 The idea is that it's kind of a stream of consciousness 35:14.320 --> 35:16.320 Kind of show, even though it's put together 35:17.320 --> 35:18.320 Fairly slickly 35:19.320 --> 35:24.320 What I'm hoping that I can get from you Adam is just a plug 35:24.320 --> 35:28.320 On your show, everybody listens to your show, I listen to your show, I listen to your show 35:29.320 --> 35:30.320 Every day 35:31.320 --> 35:34.320 I only have time to create my show once a week 35:35.320 --> 35:37.320 But I listen to your show every single day 35:38.320 --> 35:40.320 I figure out some way to work it in 35:41.320 --> 35:46.320 What I'm looking for is just some kind of a little plug that you could give me 35:47.320 --> 35:52.320 And more than that, just a suggestion for people who are listening 35:52.320 --> 35:56.320 And I know people are listening because people download the thing 35:57.320 --> 35:59.320 To give me some kind of feedback 36:00.320 --> 36:03.320 They can find me at PWFenton 36:04.320 --> 36:06.320 At digitalflotsom.org 36:07.320 --> 36:10.320 And, you know, just to send me an email 36:11.320 --> 36:14.320 Let me know what it is you think about what I'm doing 36:15.320 --> 36:17.320 Right on, so it's digitalflotsom.org 36:17.320 --> 36:21.320 And I just couldn't resist playing that promo because he was so polite and so nice 36:22.320 --> 36:25.320 PWFenton, and he has a very intriguing voice 36:26.320 --> 36:28.320 And you know what, when I get some fucking bandwidth today 36:29.320 --> 36:33.320 By the way, 1134, still no word from my account manager 36:34.320 --> 36:36.320 It's easynet.co.uk 36:37.320 --> 36:40.320 But he has an interesting voice, so I'll definitely check out the podcast 36:41.320 --> 36:45.320 Hey, if someone's doing an Ed Sullivan podcast, I definitely want to know about it 36:46.320 --> 36:49.320 Hey, Adam, this is Eric over at developmentc.org 36:50.320 --> 36:53.320 I know you don't like Skype right now, and for good reason 36:54.320 --> 36:56.320 But I want to let you know that it might be getting better 36:57.320 --> 37:01.320 I just got an email from Skype, inviting me to a three free month trial of voice messaging 37:02.320 --> 37:04.320 I guess it's their version of voice mail 37:05.320 --> 37:07.320 So, anyway, that calls for him another call now 37:08.320 --> 37:10.320 No ringing in the air, goes right to voice mail 37:11.320 --> 37:15.320 When I don't want to talk to you, reject, I didn't hang up, they go to voice mail 37:16.320 --> 37:20.320 And if I'm not around, they also go to voice mail 37:21.320 --> 37:25.320 I just tried it out, you can leave a 60 second message 37:26.320 --> 37:30.320 And it's cool, I can tell someone I can check these messages from many computer 37:31.320 --> 37:35.320 So, I don't know how we got one of these cool beta voice mail accounts, but I definitely love to have one 37:35.320 --> 37:38.320 And I really, I don't, it's not like a hate Skype right now 37:39.320 --> 37:41.320 It's just that I've seen that they're missing such a tremendous opportunity 37:42.320 --> 37:46.320 Here's a product that almost every single podcast or uses in one form of the other 37:47.320 --> 37:50.320 It wouldn't take much to make it just a little bit better and make it perfect for it 37:51.320 --> 37:56.320 Hey, I'd even pay extra for some services that's, you know, to get Skype to do certain things 37:57.320 --> 38:00.320 Like recording, Skype could be perfect for recording an entire podcast 38:01.320 --> 38:03.320 You don't necessarily have to be talking to someone, you know 38:03.320 --> 38:08.320 If, if it has the capability to record MP3, then for God's sake, let's try and get that working 38:09.320 --> 38:14.320 So thank you very much, Eric, and I'm wondering if these voice mail accounts are this like a Gmail account, you know 38:15.320 --> 38:18.320 Send me one of those, I can get some Skype voice mail 38:19.320 --> 38:24.320 And here we go, we have some actual paper, yesterday as I was waiting in vain 38:25.320 --> 38:28.320 For someone to show up at the door, like, you know, British telecom 38:29.320 --> 38:35.320 There was a ring, and it wasn't BT, there was a van outside, so first I thought, oh, goody, you know, he's here 38:36.320 --> 38:38.320 The man to dig the trenches here 38:39.320 --> 38:40.320 It wasn't, it was federal express 38:41.320 --> 38:45.320 And they delivered a small package and in the package, a letter 38:46.320 --> 38:51.320 From Chris Anderson, editor in chief of wired magazine dated January 13, 2005, dear Adam 38:52.320 --> 38:57.320 I'm delighted to let you know that you've been nominated in the tech innovator category for wired magazines 38:58.320 --> 39:01.320 2005 wired rave awards 39:02.320

39:39.320 Excellent, hey, goddamn 39:40.320 --> 39:45.320 Let's see, it's still, let me see, is it still pretty early in 39:46.320 --> 39:49.320 On the west coast in the states, let's see if wired has released it yet 39:50.320 --> 39:51.320 See who the other nominees are 39:52.320 --> 39:53.320 I wonder how that works if it's 39:55.320 --> 39:56.320 I just don't know 39:57.320 --> 40:00.320 So in the tech, what is it tech innovator category, first of all, I'm honored 40:01.320 --> 40:03.320 And I presume it's for podcasting 40:04.320 --> 40:09.320 Let's see if I can find out who, because you know, I'd love to go to this show on February 22 40:10.320 --> 40:13.320 But as usual, you know, you kind of only want to go when you know you want to win 40:13.320 --> 40:14.320 Right? 40:15.320 --> 40:20.320 But seeing as, I guess who chooses this, is this the wired editors choose this? 40:21.320 --> 40:24.320 So it's not like a public prize then, no, I don't see anything I'm looking at wired.com 40:25.320 --> 40:32.320 I don't see any, I see cell phone, shushing, push button, wine tasting 40:33.320 --> 40:35.320 Oh, wired, it's got some good stuff, doesn't it? 40:36.320 --> 40:42.320 Okay, so, no, not out yet, but it will, so you have, there you go 40:42.320 --> 40:47.320 There's a premiere, everybody, a premiere news event on the source code 40:48.320 --> 40:52.320 All
