00:06.000 --> 00:10.000
Hi, this is Rachel from
AudioCollective.net.

00:10.000 --> 00:14.000
You're listening to Adam Curry
on the Daily Stories Code.

00:14.000 --> 00:18.000
With $16 million worth of
airplane strapped my ass.

00:18.000 --> 00:19.000
Transmaders?

00:19.000 --> 00:22.000
In the next generation radio
content in my ears.

00:22.000 --> 00:24.000
We don't need noss.

00:24.000 --> 00:25.000
Think in transmere?

00:25.000 --> 00:28.000
I like to think I'm flying into
this jerk.

00:29.000 --> 00:30.000
Fantastic.

00:30.000 --> 00:31.000
This is Adam Curry.

00:31.000 --> 00:35.000
And it's your Daily Source Code
for Wednesday, July 13, 2005.

00:38.000 --> 00:40.000
Alrighty everybody, how you
doing?

00:40.000 --> 00:43.000
It's first of all apologies for
yesterday.

00:43.000 --> 00:48.000
No source code and I'll get into
all the gory details as to why
that happened.

00:48.000 --> 00:51.000
Man, I've been through the
ringer as it comes to...

00:51.000 --> 00:53.000
Well, the ringer, the cell
phone,

00:53.000 --> 00:56.000
explanations about that and more
in today's Daily Source Code.

00:57.000 --> 01:00.000
Had a long chat with Casplaster
Mike today.

01:00.000 --> 01:04.000
He's rightly, I guess, been
pitching at me

01:04.000 --> 01:08.000
that I haven't been using
Casplaster when I'm at home.

01:08.000 --> 01:12.000
And I explain to him why is
because I want to be able to
hook up my stereo valve process

01:12.000 --> 01:14.000
or on my external gear.

01:14.000 --> 01:16.000
And that's when the big light
bulbs start to go off

01:16.000 --> 01:19.000
as Mike explained exactly how to
wire in through Casplaster.

01:19.000 --> 01:22.000
So, shoot, it's working.

01:22.000 --> 01:25.000
And it sounds great as far as I
can tell.

01:25.000 --> 01:28.000
We'll really find out, of
course, after the show's over.

01:28.000 --> 01:32.000
Mike suggests that I might not
want to do an extended long
version.

01:32.000 --> 01:33.000
Unless it'd be no good.

01:39.000 --> 01:43.000
Yeah, so I don't have to go into
too much details to how it's
actually done.

01:43.000 --> 01:47.000
But the only issue now is I have
to figure out a better way to
sit

01:47.000 --> 01:54.000
because I've got the microphone
and the windscreen is just
blocking out the view of the
crap

01:54.000 --> 01:56.000
actually, maybe I can.

01:56.000 --> 01:58.000
Wait, why don't I turn it tablet
mode?

01:58.000 --> 02:00.000
Oh, Eureka.

02:00.000 --> 02:02.000
Now we're talking, okay.

02:02.000 --> 02:04.000
This is a bit of a big thing.

02:04.000 --> 02:10.000
Okay, so now it's all in tablet
mode.

02:10.000 --> 02:12.000
All right.

02:12.000 --> 02:16.000
So this is going to be kind of a
partial beta test,

02:16.000 --> 02:22.000
partial talk about shit, partial
play some stuff show.

02:22.000 --> 02:24.000
We've got podcasts, music on the
way.

02:24.000 --> 02:28.000
Something different and a mashup
from mashuptown.com.

02:28.000 --> 02:29.000
Yeah.

02:29.000 --> 02:30.000

02:33.750 --> 03:26.000
[ Music ]

03:26.000 --> 03:28.000
Okay.

03:28.000 --> 03:30.000
Okay.

03:30.000 --> 03:32.000
Okay.

03:32.000 --> 03:34.000
Okay.

03:34.000 --> 06:16.250
[ Music ]

06:19.000 --> 06:23.000
You know one of the most
important things

06:23.000 --> 06:25.000
I guess it's kind of obvious but

06:25.000 --> 06:29.000
when you're doing a podcast
you've got to be sitting right
you know.

06:29.000 --> 06:31.000
I haven't quite found the right
pose right now.

06:31.000 --> 06:41.000
Now, I'm in a big office swivel
chair with a rather high armrest
and a mash-up tub for you.com.

06:41.000 --> 06:43.000
Okay.

06:43.000 --> 06:45.000
A dove, where to go, man.

06:45.000 --> 06:46.000
Thank you.

06:46.000 --> 06:49.000
He's been supplying me with the
mash-ups mash-up town.com.

06:49.000 --> 06:53.000
And of course, as always,
everything that we talk about
here on the source code you can
find in the

06:53.000 --> 06:58.000
show notes at
dailysourcecode.com or on
www.curry.com.

06:58.000 --> 07:01.000
So, I've had the crapplet on my
lap now.

07:01.000 --> 07:05.000
Recline just a little bit in
this office chair.

07:05.000 --> 07:08.000
And so, I've got the mic kind
of, you know, swivel downwards
toward me.

07:08.000 --> 07:14.000
And that's also because I have
this fucking weird hum here if I
turn the mic towards the
ceiling.

07:14.000 --> 07:17.000
I don't know if you can hear
that.

07:17.000 --> 07:21.000
It's really faint now, which is
a good thing, of course, because
we don't really want any hum.

07:21.000 --> 07:22.000
Okay.

07:22.000 --> 07:24.000
So, everything should be
working.

07:24.000 --> 07:25.000
I'm liking the way it sounds.

07:25.000 --> 07:26.000
This is the cast-blaster.

07:26.000 --> 07:28.000
You can find that at
cast-blaster.com.

07:28.000 --> 07:31.000
If you want to more about it,
there's a version you can use.

07:31.000 --> 07:35.000
I think a perpetuity, a little
record ten minutes, and then you
can purchase it.

07:35.000 --> 07:39.000
It's still in beta, but already
I'm seeing just by using it
again.

07:39.000 --> 07:40.000
And it's only been, what?

07:40.000 --> 07:43.000
Like, a week and a half or two
weeks since I used cast-blaster
for the last time.

07:43.000 --> 07:45.000
Already, I'm seeing more things.

07:45.000 --> 07:50.000
I think we should, we should
have the could possibly go into,
into the one-point

07:50.000 --> 07:51.000
no version.

07:51.000 --> 07:52.000
I can see mic just groaning.

07:52.000 --> 07:55.000
Like, no groaning, as we speak.

07:55.000 --> 07:56.000
I don't know.

07:56.000 --> 07:57.000
No more features.

07:57.000 --> 08:02.000
Anyway, it's still hot when the
middle of our heat wave here in
the UK.

08:02.000 --> 08:07.000
About 33 degrees centigrade,
which is hot.

08:07.000 --> 08:09.000
That's in the, what is that?

08:09.000 --> 08:11.000
That's got to be in the 90s, far
in the 90s.

08:11.000 --> 08:12.000
Hold on, maybe.

08:12.000 --> 08:14.000
Don't I have an OSX widget for
that?

08:14.000 --> 08:15.000
Hold on.

08:15.000 --> 08:16.000
Let me see.

08:16.000 --> 08:18.000
I think I do.

08:18.000 --> 08:19.000
Here we go.

08:20.000 --> 08:22.000
Comvert.

08:22.000 --> 08:24.000
Does that have temperatures?

08:24.000 --> 08:27.000
Uh, temperature.

08:27.000 --> 08:28.000
There we go.

08:28.000 --> 08:31.000
We want to convert it from
Celsius.

08:31.000 --> 08:33.000
So it's 33.

08:33.000 --> 08:34.000
Yeah, 91.4.

08:34.000 --> 08:37.000
Hey, 91.4 degrees outside,
everybody.

08:37.000 --> 08:40.000
Um, so you can hear the fan in
the background.

08:40.000 --> 08:41.000
Very lightly.

08:41.000 --> 08:42.000
It's actually outside the door.

08:42.000 --> 08:44.000
Patricia put the bedroom fan
there.

08:44.000 --> 08:47.000
So again, this house definitely
not equipped for this type of
weather.

08:47.000 --> 08:50.000
But we aren't enjoying it, not
complaining whatsoever.

08:50.000 --> 08:54.000
Um, this shit I was complaining
about was what started Sunday.

08:54.000 --> 08:58.000
All of a sudden, um, when I use
my phone, my cell phone.

08:58.000 --> 09:00.000
And I have a virgin mobile over
here.

09:00.000 --> 09:03.000
And I really liked that because
I wanted to pre-pay it in
necessarily.

09:03.000 --> 09:08.000
In fact, when we moved here,
didn't even have a UK bank
account or credit card.

09:08.000 --> 09:10.000
So that would have been hard
anyway.

09:10.000 --> 09:12.000
But I didn't want to email,
basically.

09:12.000 --> 09:16.000
And I also wanted to kind of
know what we were spending on,
on phone costs.

09:16.000 --> 09:19.000
Um, so, and I'm pretty happy
with virgin mobile.

09:19.000 --> 09:23.000
Um, it's, uh, it's way too
expensive when you're roaming
overseas.

09:23.000 --> 09:28.000
Um, so I have, uh, a team
mobile, again, a pre-pay team
mobile for the US.

09:28.000 --> 09:33.000
But anyway, um, whether, if I
tried to call out on Sunday,

09:33.000 --> 09:37.000
I would get the three tones in
succession that goes, do, do,
do, do.

09:37.000 --> 09:39.000
Um, and it wouldn't do anything
with just this connect.

09:39.000 --> 09:43.000
And if I tried to call myself
on, it would, uh, a message will
come on saying this cell phone

09:44.000 --> 09:46.000
is currently not accepting
connections.

09:46.000 --> 09:47.000
Now, this was a new one.

09:47.000 --> 09:49.000
I've, I didn't know what
disconnect notices are.

09:49.000 --> 09:52.000
And you know, there was plenty
of money in the account and all
that was set.

09:52.000 --> 09:56.000
Um, what happened is my phone
got blacklisted.

09:56.000 --> 09:58.000
Now, I've posted about this a
couple times.

09:58.000 --> 10:01.000
And, um, I think I mentioned it
in the previous source code.

10:01.000 --> 10:07.000
What that means, essentially, is
there's a centralized database
that the networks all used
together.

10:07.000 --> 10:10.000
Um, and we'll have access to.

10:10.000 --> 10:14.000
And if your phone is lost or
stolen, you report that to your,
uh, network carrier.

10:14.000 --> 10:16.000
And then they put it on the
blacklist.

10:16.000 --> 10:19.000
So it gets, uh, a checkmark and
it's put into this database.

10:19.000 --> 10:21.000
And so then you get the result.

10:21.000 --> 10:25.000
Um, if you try to use it on the
virgin network with a version
SIM card, it won't work.

10:25.000 --> 10:27.000
But it's a centralized database.

10:27.000 --> 10:33.000
So it'll also, um, uh, happen,
uh, or it'll also will stop to
function on any of the other UK
networks.

10:33.000 --> 10:35.000
It may work in other, in other
parts of the world.

10:35.000 --> 10:37.000
But that's pretty much what they
want to do.

10:37.000 --> 10:42.000
Um, is, and I, and I think since
team mobiles on it, they're
probably covering the states as
well.

10:42.000 --> 10:49.000
So, uh, effectively, um, it's
trying to deter, um, cell phone
theft.

10:49.000 --> 10:50.000
Duh.

10:50.000 --> 10:51.000
Okay.

10:51.000 --> 10:52.000
Uh, so that's great.

10:52.000 --> 10:55.000
But somehow I got on this list
and I hadn't reported it.

10:55.000 --> 10:58.000
And, uh, that identified that I
was the owner of the account.

10:58.000 --> 11:00.000
And, you know, the problem,
because of course I call them
up.

11:00.000 --> 11:03.000
And, you know, a member of the
team will be right with you.

11:03.000 --> 11:06.000
It takes 30 minutes every single
time you call and want to get a
live person on the phone.

11:06.000 --> 11:08.000
Um, at Virgin.

11:08.000 --> 11:14.000
Of course, this is kind of
logical because Virges, what we
call, um, it's a virtual mobile
operator.

11:14.000 --> 11:16.000
I think it is a VMO.

11:16.000 --> 11:18.000
And they actually ride on team
mobiles network.

11:18.000 --> 11:20.000
It's, it's team mobiles
antennas.

11:20.000 --> 11:25.000
Uh, in fact, often, um, if you
go to select network, you select
team mobile, but it'll say,

11:25.000 --> 11:27.000
Virgin on your phone.

11:27.000 --> 11:29.000
So they're just basically helped
us.

11:29.000 --> 11:30.000
That's all they have to do.

11:30.000 --> 11:34.000
And, you know, and, and the cash
register part is, uh, is also
probably handled through

11:34.000 --> 11:36.000
team mobiles infrastructure.

11:36.000 --> 11:40.000
So all they have to do is really
have a couple people who, you
know,

11:40.000 --> 11:45.000
stand for the Virgin customer
promise and answer the phone
promptly.

11:45.000 --> 11:47.000
You know, it's, they don't have
enough people.

11:47.000 --> 11:48.000
So, and they can kind of
understand.

11:48.000 --> 11:51.000
But to anyway, after we figured
this all out, um, no problem.

11:51.000 --> 11:53.000
Sir, in 24 hours, they'll be
back on.

11:53.000 --> 11:56.000
So Monday, of course, it wasn't
back on.

11:56.000 --> 11:59.000
Another 30 minute wait getting
through very tedious.

11:59.000 --> 12:01.000
Um, oh, okay.

12:01.000 --> 12:03.000
Uh, it'll be unblacklisted now.

12:03.000 --> 12:05.000
Turn your phone off for half an
hour.

12:05.000 --> 12:07.000
Then turn it back on and then it
should be fine.

12:07.000 --> 12:09.000
Of course, it didn't work then.

12:09.000 --> 12:11.000
I waited a couple hours, didn't
work.

12:11.000 --> 12:14.000
Um, called again went through
the whole process.

12:14.000 --> 12:17.000
And you have to explain
everything new because you
can't, you know,

12:17.000 --> 12:19.000
you can ask for team member
Gareth.

12:19.000 --> 12:22.000
But, uh, he's on lunch break or
I can't find him.

12:22.000 --> 12:23.000
Of course, the answer.

12:23.000 --> 12:25.000
So you have to go through the
whole thing.

12:25.000 --> 12:26.000
Explaining how it all works.

12:26.000 --> 12:27.000
What happened?

12:27.000 --> 12:29.000
Uh, often telling them where the
black list is.

12:29.000 --> 12:30.000
So that didn't work.

12:30.000 --> 12:33.000
So then I decided to go down to
the virgin store in the high
street.

12:33.000 --> 12:36.000
And you didn't know how I love
going anywhere called high
street.

12:36.000 --> 12:40.000
Um, uh, and so virgin has a
store in a store.

12:40.000 --> 12:41.000
Guess worst.

12:41.000 --> 12:45.000
In WH Smith, which is kind of a
general purpose, uh, magazine
store,

12:45.000 --> 12:50.000
but also grocery store, not a
grocery store, uh, household
good store.

12:50.000 --> 12:54.000
And they have a corner, uh, in
the back of this store.

12:54.000 --> 12:57.000
And it's a desk and they have,
uh, I don't know.

12:58.000 --> 12:59.000
Um, it's not very big.

12:59.000 --> 13:01.000
It's, it's literally in the
corner.

13:01.000 --> 13:04.000
And so there's Ian and Ian says,
Oh, yeah, okay.

13:04.000 --> 13:05.000
I understand what's happened.

13:05.000 --> 13:07.000
I've only been here for two days
myself.

13:07.000 --> 13:10.000
And like, oh, okay, this guy has
no connections within the
company.

13:10.000 --> 13:12.000
So, but he tried to get through,
you know,

13:12.000 --> 13:15.000
same deal, turn it off for 20
minutes.

13:15.000 --> 13:19.000
Now we couldn't actually perform
that test in the store because,
uh,

13:19.000 --> 13:24.000
you cannot receive virgin mobile
in the virgin mobile store in
Gilbert.

13:24.000 --> 13:26.000
Uh, which is, of course,
ludicrous.

13:26.000 --> 13:28.000
I've known about this, but this
was kind of funny.

13:28.000 --> 13:30.000
Because this Ian guy had only
been there for two days.

13:30.000 --> 13:31.000
He just discovered it as well.

13:31.000 --> 13:32.000
And he was tripping out.

13:32.000 --> 13:35.000
Uh, so I go outside and he says,
No, wait 20 minutes.

13:35.000 --> 13:36.000
Okay, I'll go down.

13:36.000 --> 13:37.000
I'm hungry.

13:37.000 --> 13:38.000
I'm going on to Burger King.

13:38.000 --> 13:39.000
I'm going to have a hamburger,
you know,

13:39.000 --> 13:42.000
Burger, hamburger meal, whatever
the hell it is with a coke.

13:42.000 --> 13:44.000
So I'm eating there 30 minutes.

13:44.000 --> 13:45.000
I make it safe.

13:45.000 --> 13:47.000
And I'd say, okay, you know,
this is it.

13:47.000 --> 13:50.000
If it doesn't work now, then
I'm, I'm taking different
measures.

13:50.000 --> 13:52.000
So, of course, it didn't work.

13:52.000 --> 13:54.000
And then I just walked back to
T-Mobile.

13:54.000 --> 13:57.000
Actually, I had been into
Vodafone because I figured,

13:57.000 --> 13:58.000
now I'm going to go shop.

13:58.000 --> 14:00.000
Went into Vodafone.

14:00.000 --> 14:02.000
Um, didn't like the attitude of
the people,

14:02.000 --> 14:03.000
salespeople there.

14:03.000 --> 14:06.000
So, you know, just, they'll have
the same phones, basically.

14:06.000 --> 14:08.000
Then they went to T-Mobile.

14:08.000 --> 14:11.000
And there was a guy there who
knew a lot about their service
and

14:11.000 --> 14:12.000
a lot about their products.

14:12.000 --> 14:14.000
And he could tell me, you know,
how, um,

14:14.000 --> 14:17.000
you could get onto the Starbucks
T-Mobile access points or

14:17.000 --> 14:19.000
airports just by sending a text
message.

14:19.000 --> 14:22.000
And it'll be automatically added
to your account.

14:22.000 --> 14:26.000
Um, you know, so, of course,
this is a contract that you have
to,

14:26.000 --> 14:29.000
uh, have to enter into to get
all these wonderful services.

14:29.000 --> 14:34.000
They have a, um, a discounted
rate, uh, for international
dialing.

14:34.000 --> 14:37.000
So, yeah, it's still going to be
kind of expensive.

14:37.000 --> 14:41.000
And roaming in the states, uh,
it'll still be 69 cents, uh,

14:41.000 --> 14:42.000
pence a minute.

14:42.000 --> 14:44.000
So that's, uh, way over the top.

14:44.000 --> 14:47.000
So it looks like I'm still going
to have to use a different
account in the

14:47.000 --> 14:49.000
states when I'm there because
it's just crazy.

14:49.000 --> 14:51.000
I mean, you pay for your
incoming calls.

14:51.000 --> 14:53.000
So you're paying almost a buck,
you know, that's, uh,

14:53.000 --> 14:56.000
actually you are paying a dollar
for an incoming per minute for

14:56.000 --> 14:57.000
incoming calls.

14:57.000 --> 14:58.000
So that's not going to work.

14:58.000 --> 15:01.000
Do you have a good data bundles
now for the UK only, of course,

15:01.000 --> 15:06.000
uh, one gigabyte of data per
month for 90 pounds.

15:06.000 --> 15:10.000
And then 75 pence per megabyte
after that.

15:10.000 --> 15:12.000
So that, I mean, it's crazy.

15:12.000 --> 15:14.000
It's still ridiculous amount of
money, but okay,

15:14.000 --> 15:15.000
that's better than I've seen.

15:15.000 --> 15:18.000
In fact, if you're roaming, if
I'd be in the states and use
this account,

15:18.000 --> 15:21.000
it would cost me £7.50 per
megabyte.

15:21.000 --> 15:24.000
So that's like 15 bucks.

15:24.000 --> 15:28.000
Oh, man, porn gets really
expensive that way.

15:28.000 --> 15:33.000
Does it sound familiar to you?

15:33.000 --> 15:36.000
If so, domestic life.org is
calling your name.

15:36.000 --> 15:39.000
Turn into this family safe
podcast where a young married
couple

15:39.000 --> 15:43.000
discuss ups and downs of raising
two small children in today's
day and age.

15:43.000 --> 15:46.000
Again, that's domesticlife.org.

15:47.000 --> 15:50.000
podcasting, it's Adam Curry.

15:50.000 --> 15:52.000
Hello.

15:52.000 --> 15:56.000
Adam, this is Pohaku from
JediTrainer.com.

15:56.000 --> 16:02.000
And I think we've got a very
unique podcast that helps people
improve their lives

16:02.000 --> 16:04.000
by using the power of their
mind.

16:04.000 --> 16:05.000
Let me give an example.

16:05.000 --> 16:06.000
Okay, you ready?

16:06.000 --> 16:07.000
I want you to follow me on this.

16:07.000 --> 16:08.000
Okay.

16:08.000 --> 16:10.000
So back in your chair and I want
you to relax.

16:10.000 --> 16:12.000
I want you to relax.

16:12.000 --> 16:15.000
Start from your head and move
down to your shoulders.

16:15.000 --> 16:19.000
Get your torso moved down to
your thighs, your legs, and your
toes.

16:19.000 --> 16:22.000
Okay, now if you're all relaxed,
here's what I want you to do.

16:22.000 --> 16:24.000
Get mad.

16:24.000 --> 16:27.000
Get mad while you stay relaxed.

16:27.000 --> 16:28.000
Guess what?

16:28.000 --> 16:29.000
You can't do it.

16:29.000 --> 16:33.000
See, the mind and the body are
one.

16:33.000 --> 16:36.000
Getting angry requires muscular
tension.

16:36.000 --> 16:39.000
And if you stay relaxed, you
can't get angry.

16:39.000 --> 16:44.000
This is just a little tip, a
little sort of a sample of the
kind of things that we do

16:44.000 --> 16:46.000
on JediTrainer.com.

16:46.000 --> 16:50.000
People's lives are being changed
every day by this podcast.

16:50.000 --> 16:53.000
If you look at the comments on
podcast, l.e.com,

16:53.000 --> 16:56.000
and we invite you and your
wonderful listeners.

16:56.000 --> 16:57.000
I'm one of them, by the way.

16:57.000 --> 17:00.000
To tune in to JediTrainer.com,

17:00.000 --> 17:04.000
and I'll guarantee you your life
will dramatically change

17:04.000 --> 17:08.000
through the power of you and
your own mind.

17:08.000 --> 17:10.000
Aloha.

17:11.000 --> 17:12.000
Oh, you hear that?

17:12.000 --> 17:16.000
It's already giving away a part
of the big secret that I wasn't
going to talk about.

17:16.000 --> 17:20.000
Shoot, see now I'm totally
trapped in all these wires all
on a second.

17:20.000 --> 17:22.000
See, now there's that hum that I
was talking about.

17:22.000 --> 17:25.000
I'll wrap it off from my...

17:25.000 --> 17:27.000
Oh, man.

17:27.000 --> 17:29.000
What was that?

17:29.000 --> 17:32.000
Oh, yeah.

17:32.000 --> 17:34.000
That was Patricia.

17:34.000 --> 17:36.000
Oh, man.

17:36.000 --> 17:38.000
Hold on a second.

17:38.000 --> 17:40.000
Let me just call her back real
quick.

17:40.000 --> 17:41.000
Tell her.

17:41.000 --> 17:42.000
Doing a show.

17:42.000 --> 17:44.000
She's probably going to leave a
message.

17:44.000 --> 17:46.000
Okay.

17:46.000 --> 17:47.000
So...

17:47.000 --> 17:49.000
Hold on one second.

17:51.000 --> 17:52.000
Okay.

17:52.000 --> 17:53.000
There we go.

17:53.000 --> 17:55.000
So now I'm going to see if I can
get rid of that hum.

17:55.000 --> 17:56.000
Oh, hey.

17:56.000 --> 17:57.000
The whole studio is falling
away.

17:57.000 --> 17:58.000
I got to do this differently.

17:58.000 --> 17:59.000
This is...

17:59.000 --> 18:00.000
This is not going to work.

18:00.000 --> 18:02.000
I'll just keep it like it is for
this show.

18:02.000 --> 18:04.000
This is not the way to do it.

18:04.000 --> 18:05.000
Okay.

18:06.000 --> 18:08.000
I like the T-Mobile guy.

18:08.000 --> 18:13.000
And he sold me something that
I've been playing with for
the...

18:13.000 --> 18:15.000
Well, of course, I had to play
with it because...

18:15.000 --> 18:20.000
Well, it's an MDA, which is a
pocket PC.

18:20.000 --> 18:21.000
Oh, yes.

18:21.000 --> 18:25.000
I can hear a mobile phone fan
freaking out right now as we
speak.

18:25.000 --> 18:27.000
And this is...

18:27.000 --> 18:30.000
What's cool about this is it
had...

18:30.000 --> 18:33.000
And I've had the XDA, which was
our...

18:33.000 --> 18:34.000
That was a heavy mod, man.

18:34.000 --> 18:35.000
That thing was.

18:35.000 --> 18:36.000
So this is definitely bigger
than the...

18:36.000 --> 18:39.000
Then the size I'd like to carry
with me as a phone.

18:39.000 --> 18:41.000
But as the guy in the store
said,

18:41.000 --> 18:42.000
It's big.

18:42.000 --> 18:44.000
And it's powerful.

18:44.000 --> 18:46.000
I said, huh?

18:46.000 --> 18:48.000
I'll tell my wife that when she
looks at being...

18:48.000 --> 18:50.000
Because one of those, you know,
like, what the hell did you buy
now?

18:50.000 --> 18:51.000
I'll say, huh?

18:51.000 --> 18:52.000
It's big.

18:52.000 --> 18:54.000
And it's powerful.

18:54.000 --> 18:58.000
If you slide the cover up, it
reveals Presto.

18:58.000 --> 19:02.000
A nice little keyboard in Quarty
format.

19:02.000 --> 19:05.000
So you can use it with two
thumbs kind of.

19:05.000 --> 19:07.000
And yeah, I can get pretty fast.

19:07.000 --> 19:14.000
It has all the pocket PC stuff
in there and synchronization
stuff, which, of course, does me
know good,

19:14.000 --> 19:21.000
Because I had to get all of my
phone numbers from my Mac, from
my Mac address book, into the...

19:21.000 --> 19:22.000
Into the Windows world.

19:22.000 --> 19:24.000
And those two definitely don't
want to talk to each other.

19:24.000 --> 19:27.000
There is a product out there
that I'll point to on...

19:27.000 --> 19:31.000
And in the show notes, which
actually adds it to icing.

19:31.000 --> 19:35.000
And we'll sync up your phone
through USB, just like you do
with any phone and icing.

19:35.000 --> 19:36.000
And I was about to order it.

19:36.000 --> 19:38.000
I was like, you know, it's like
50 bucks.

19:38.000 --> 19:41.000
It's interesting because I
thought, you know, that's like
what castblast are cost,

19:41.000 --> 19:43.000
But you know, man, I really want
it.

19:43.000 --> 19:46.000
So if it really is going to do
the job for me, it'll be well
worth it.

19:46.000 --> 19:51.000
Certainly worth hunting around,
for other ways, to do this, to
do this export import.

19:51.000 --> 19:55.000
And then I read that they hadn't
yet come out with their tiger,
compatible version,

19:55.000 --> 19:59.000
and apparently an icing in tiger
is all different.

19:59.000 --> 20:02.000
So that was a bummer, but I'm
going to keep my eye on those
guys.

20:02.000 --> 20:06.000
So what I wound up doing is I
use this other program.

20:06.000 --> 20:09.000
I forget what it's called, but
I'm going to put a link to it.

20:09.000 --> 20:12.000
That essentially outputs your
dress book as V cards.

20:12.000 --> 20:18.000
Then I was able to Bluetooth the
V cards into the MDA, because of
course it has Bluetooth and GPS,

20:18.000 --> 20:20.000
and all that groovy stuff.

20:21.000 --> 20:24.000
And then add them one by one
into my dress book.

20:24.000 --> 20:26.000
So that worked reasonably well.

20:26.000 --> 20:28.000
And, you know, there's always
loose some data,

20:28.000 --> 20:30.000
or something gets messed up when
you do that kind of stuff.

20:30.000 --> 20:32.000
But it worked out okay so far.

20:32.000 --> 20:37.000
And so then the coolest part
about this is it has Wi-Fi built
right in.

20:37.000 --> 20:41.000
And if it detects a Wi-Fi
network, it'll use any internet
applications.

20:41.000 --> 20:44.000
We'll use that Wi-Fi network,
and it connects automatically.

20:44.000 --> 20:46.000
And it's actually pretty damn
good.

20:46.000 --> 20:49.000
So what is the most exciting
part about this?

20:49.000 --> 20:53.000
Is that Skype now makes a pocket
PC version available of Skype?

20:53.000 --> 20:55.000
And it works.

20:55.000 --> 20:58.000
I've had some issues with some
people.

20:58.000 --> 21:01.000
I think if you really don't have
the bandwidth,

21:01.000 --> 21:03.000
then you know, stuff starts to
go a little wacky.

21:03.000 --> 21:04.000
I'm quite sure.

21:04.000 --> 21:07.000
And it's primarily on the
receiving end, where it screws
up a bit,

21:07.000 --> 21:10.000
or maybe the process is working
too hard.

21:10.000 --> 21:12.000
I mean, there's a billion things
that could be wrong.

21:12.000 --> 21:15.000
I haven't quite figured out the
perfect configuration for using
Skype

21:16.000 --> 21:18.000
with the built-in Wi-Fi.

21:18.000 --> 21:21.000
But it's unbelievable how nicely
integrated this is.

21:21.000 --> 21:24.000
You can go into your address
book, search for a number,

21:24.000 --> 21:28.000
and then you can select, you can
just hit the call button,

21:28.000 --> 21:31.000
and it'll call that person to
the cell phone network,

21:31.000 --> 21:33.000
or you can say call with Skype.

21:33.000 --> 21:35.000
And it'll use your Skype out
automatically.

21:35.000 --> 21:38.000
It's just fucking amazing.

21:38.000 --> 21:41.000
So I'm very pleased with this
thing right now.

21:41.000 --> 21:45.000
And I will continue to report on
the progress.

21:45.000 --> 21:47.000
But right now, it's just great.

21:47.000 --> 21:49.000
You know, my Skype is in my
pocket.

21:49.000 --> 21:51.000
I love it.

21:51.000 --> 21:52.000
The web browser works.

21:52.000 --> 21:54.000
Oh, no, it's all pretty cool.

21:54.000 --> 21:55.000
All right.

21:55.000 --> 21:58.000
Let's roll out some pod save
music right now.

21:58.000 --> 22:01.000
This is one that was brought to
my attention by PW Fenton,

22:01.000 --> 22:04.000
as he programmed it into the pod
show on serious.

22:04.000 --> 22:07.000
It's Christian Dozler and the
honey Greek bookie.

22:07.000 --> 22:08.000
Quick bookie.

22:08.750 --> 24:26.000
[ Music ]

24:26.000 --> 24:27.000
Okay.

24:27.000 --> 24:28.000
Okay.

24:28.000 --> 24:29.000
Great.

24:29.000 --> 24:30.000
Wait.

24:30.000 --> 24:31.000
What's your secret?

24:31.000 --> 24:32.000
It's No secret, Dongkin.

24:32.000 --> 24:33.000
It's Provisile.

24:33.000 --> 24:46.780
I don't actually know, but as
long as I'm shooting below par,
I'm not going to ask.

24:46.780 --> 24:47.780
Sounds great!

24:47.780 --> 24:51.120
You think all that miscovee
would prescribe some provisional
for me?

24:51.120 --> 24:56.120
Mind you, I'm no doctor, but the
way I see it, provisils good for
everybody.

24:56.120 --> 24:57.120
So far as I know.

24:57.120 --> 24:59.760
But as you said, you're not a
doctor.

24:59.760 --> 25:01.760
That's right, pumpkin.

25:01.760 --> 25:04.760
I'm just an ordinary guy who
takes a lot of drugs.

25:04.760 --> 25:06.760
And gauze, like a son of a
bitch.

25:09.760 --> 25:10.760
Provisile is not for everyone.

25:10.760 --> 25:12.760
Consult the physician before
taking provisile.

25:12.760 --> 25:14.760
Do not take provisile if you're
just food on a daily basis.

25:14.760 --> 25:17.760
Side effects may include nausea
vomiting, headache, stomach
rams,

25:17.760 --> 25:19.760
business confusion, liver and
kidney failure,

25:19.760 --> 25:21.760
energy loss of mental acuity,
diarrhea, shortness of bread,

25:21.760 --> 25:23.760
chest pains, swollen testicles,
irritated bowel pigeon toes,

25:23.760 --> 25:26.760
respiratory inflammation,
permanent blindness, loss of
sexual motivation,

25:26.760 --> 25:30.760
pancreatic dysfunction,
googleize, polio, and temporary
ducking of the stool.

25:34.760 --> 25:35.760
I just found that.

25:35.760 --> 25:37.760
On my hard drive, I was putting
the show together,

25:37.760 --> 25:38.760
and I got to play this.

25:38.760 --> 25:40.760
I don't even know if I was
supposed to play that.

25:40.760 --> 25:43.760
I think that was, no, I'm pretty
sure that was PWFenton,

25:43.760 --> 25:45.760
but I think it was all PWFenton.

25:45.760 --> 25:49.760
Him and his electronic bag of
tricks, very, very cool.

25:49.760 --> 25:52.760
By the way, I think I know what
I want.

25:52.760 --> 25:56.760
That I have to have some kind of
work desk.

25:56.760 --> 25:59.760
Pod, let's call it podcast desk
build.

25:59.760 --> 26:01.760
There will be a stand-up desk.

26:01.760 --> 26:03.760
I think it's just so much
easier.

26:03.760 --> 26:05.760
I don't mind standing while
doing stuff.

26:05.760 --> 26:08.760
If I could just have everything,
and maybe it's curved a little,

26:08.760 --> 26:10.760
so I can kind of stand in it a
little,

26:10.760 --> 26:14.760
and then have a choice of
operating the mixer.

26:14.760 --> 26:17.760
The mic can come from high down
instead of over to the right,

26:17.760 --> 26:19.760
or over from the left,

26:19.760 --> 26:21.760
and then I'd have high stools.

26:21.760 --> 26:24.760
If I wanted to, I could kind of,
like a bar stool, I could sit on
that.

26:24.760 --> 26:26.760
That's what I'll have to have
made.

26:26.760 --> 26:29.760
Maybe when it's a little bit
cooler.

26:29.760 --> 26:34.760
So all the news today, of
course, dominated by the fact
that,

26:34.760 --> 26:41.760
and I predicted this, that the
authorities know who the
terrorist suicide bombers were,

26:41.760 --> 26:42.760
because they were suicide
bombers.

26:42.760 --> 26:46.760
This was a simultaneous bit of
news in the London bombings.

26:47.760 --> 26:51.760
And this is what kind of your
worst fear is,

26:51.760 --> 26:57.760
these were British boys born and
raised in the UK.

26:57.760 --> 27:05.760
And basically, they were
influenced by, well, we'll find
out, hopefully,

27:05.760 --> 27:08.760
whatever factors to do this.

27:08.760 --> 27:12.760
But that came from inside the
country.

27:12.760 --> 27:14.760
And so I didn't predict that.

27:14.760 --> 27:17.760
What I did predict is that they
would figure this out

27:17.760 --> 27:20.760
through the CCTV cameras, London
is so wired.

27:20.760 --> 27:23.760
So they literally were able to
follow the route of this bus,

27:23.760 --> 27:25.760
and see who got on and make a
lot of deductions,

27:25.760 --> 27:27.760
and they did raids on their
houses,

27:27.760 --> 27:29.760
and all this happened very, very
quickly.

27:29.760 --> 27:32.760
So, first of all, that's great.

27:32.760 --> 27:35.760
I think that's an amazing bit of
work has been done there.

27:35.760 --> 27:37.760
And now we have to kind of
figure out,

27:37.760 --> 27:39.760
what was the background of these
four?

27:40.760 --> 27:43.760
What was going on?

27:43.760 --> 27:47.760
How did they get so influenced
to, you know,

27:47.760 --> 27:49.760
basically, you have to be
brainwashed, I think,

27:49.760 --> 27:51.760
to do this one way or the other.

27:51.760 --> 27:54.760
I mean, it's not human nature to
want to kill yourself.

27:54.760 --> 27:57.760
So, yeah, this is tough times.

27:57.760 --> 27:59.760
And there's a lot of
conversation going on.

27:59.760 --> 28:03.760
And I must say, Auntie, the BBC
is doing a great job

28:03.760 --> 28:04.760
during all this.

28:04.760 --> 28:07.760
They've got great coverage,
great shows, great guests,

28:07.760 --> 28:08.760
well prepared.

28:08.760 --> 28:12.760
There's not too much drama
footage, although it's there,

28:12.760 --> 28:17.760
but, you know, there's not a lot
of flags

28:17.760 --> 28:22.760
and fighter planes shooting
overhead with fanfare.

28:22.760 --> 28:27.760
It's just real good reporting,
and I'm very impressed,

28:27.760 --> 28:30.760
and still very impressed by the
Londoners.

28:30.760 --> 28:35.760
See, update on the health
situation,

28:36.760 --> 28:38.760
still tingling in the index
finger.

28:38.760 --> 28:39.760
The shoulder still messed up.

28:39.760 --> 28:41.760
I've got my exercises that I
have to do.

28:41.760 --> 28:43.760
It's definitely not spasming as
bad as it was,

28:43.760 --> 28:46.760
but oh, man, it's very, very
irritating.

28:46.760 --> 28:48.760
Especially when you are typing
in the keyboard,

28:48.760 --> 28:51.760
and you use your index finger a
lot,

28:51.760 --> 28:53.760
and you type on the keys, and
it's like,

28:53.760 --> 28:57.760
almost like there's a little bit
of novocaine in there.

28:57.760 --> 28:58.760
Yeah, I know.

28:58.760 --> 29:00.760
None of this sounds too good.

29:00.760 --> 29:01.760
Does it look low?

29:01.760 --> 29:03.760
Oh, wait, sorry, is this one?

to discuss you know there's
plenty of stuff going on with
with the feeds and

come with some

34:23.640 --> 34:27.400
Solutions that maybe we can do
to help each other. I think
that's

34:28.360 --> 34:30.360
How convoluted was that?

34:31.400 --> 34:37.320
We're working on it. We put out
some suggestions. I had some
ideas to make it easier for
everybody because you know

34:37.640 --> 34:41.720
Directory building business is
tough work. I know we have

34:42.280 --> 34:48.280
120 node managers who are
patiently working on my father
dot org. So it's not trivial

34:48.280 --> 34:51.240
But I think we got some
solutions. Hopefully we'll be
able to talk about this way

34:54.440 --> 34:57.080

what it's about. Okay
