00:00.000 --> 00:07.200
Delta CR at Charlie 218. Good
afternoon everybody from Curry
Cottage. Today is a Monday,

00:07.200 --> 00:14.080
no promo, no pod save music, no
mashup podcast. Just a quick
little update about some stuff

00:14.080 --> 00:18.640
and some thoughts over the
weekend and I just let you know
what's going on because it is
now

00:18.640 --> 00:24.560
335 and I have to hurry up
because it's 5 o'clock Patricia
and I are leaving for London.

00:24.640 --> 00:32.880
Tonight is by the way it's such
a hardship. Tonight is the
Playboy UK launch party.

00:32.880 --> 00:39.280
I believe actually that Playboy
UK launched once previously but
I think this is a relaunch of

00:40.160 --> 00:45.440
of the magazine probably on the
heels of the success of their
television channels. I'm kind of

00:45.440 --> 00:52.960
doing stuff here at the same
time and that will be a sound
scene tour which of course I
hope to

00:52.960 --> 01:00.640
deliver to you tomorrow for
tomorrow's daily source code.
Patricia and I are staying
overnight

01:00.640 --> 01:07.360
in a lovely hotel overlooking
the park not far from where the
party is which is at a secret

01:07.360 --> 01:13.280
undisclosed location. So
needless to say I don't think
there will be a lot of editing
going on the

01:13.360 --> 01:22.320
evening since yay we're alone.
And yeah it's just been crazy
busy today I just had a visit
from

01:23.120 --> 01:28.080
a producer from BBC Radio 1
hadn't been interviewed by Radio
1 yet so I was keen to do that

01:29.440 --> 01:34.800
and because Radio 1 is kind of
like the top 40 pop station
really the popular radio station
here

01:34.800 --> 01:41.920
that the BBC operates and so she
came over for a chat we talked
for about an hour and a half

01:42.880 --> 01:48.400
and it was hours love it when
you know she's using a mini disc
to record and I always love the

01:48.400 --> 01:53.600
the kit they give these these
producers when they go on the
road you know the big old
fashion

01:53.600 --> 01:59.280
stick microphone with a big
windscreen and the big radio one
might cube that looks so
professional

02:00.080 --> 02:04.720
so we had a nice chat about
podcast and that's for something
in an air pretty soon and I'll
be

02:04.720 --> 02:10.320
sure to you know point you
towards that because apparently
the BBC really is getting into
podcasting

02:10.400 --> 02:15.120
and it's interesting she said
that just last week they finally
gave her a computer that
actually

02:15.120 --> 02:20.720
wasn't able to do sound so you
know it's not like they've been
working on this for a long time

02:20.720 --> 02:24.960
but they're getting into it and
the mission that has come down
as I understood from Alice

02:24.960 --> 02:31.200
this producer is that the BBC
really wants to you know bring
the interactive departments and
the

02:31.200 --> 02:35.520
the current program creation
departments closer together so
that's good news and they're
also

02:35.520 --> 02:40.000
supposed to suppose to think out
of the box and start thinking
about programming that may not

02:40.000 --> 02:44.800
make it on the air that should
only be for podcast and that's
beautiful because that is
exactly

02:44.800 --> 02:49.440
what I think the BBC should be
doing and they have that's
almost in their charter
statement that

02:49.440 --> 02:54.480
they have to use any means of
distribution available to them
and Lord knows it's enough
people who

02:54.480 --> 02:59.920
work there so I'm sure they can
come up with some great podcasts
in the near future I'm looking

02:59.920 --> 03:07.120
forward to it and not just you
know re broadcasting radio shows
as podcasts you can hear the

03:07.120 --> 03:13.760
con ver in the background that
have it on setting one flaps one
on the con ver which reminds me
of

03:13.760 --> 03:21.440
this this past weekend so the
wind command was on vacation but
one of his his good buddies yapp

03:21.440 --> 03:28.960
who was a we're flown with
before he picked up the 1802 RG
and Antwerp and then flew to

03:28.960 --> 03:33.760
Rotterdam picked up the in-laws
who are going to be staying here
during our vacation but since

03:33.760 --> 03:37.280
Patricia and I had this night
out when you know we said I want
you come over and then you can
keep an

03:37.280 --> 03:41.360
eye on things what we're gone
and Christina of course will be
here and we still don't really
feel

03:41.360 --> 03:48.640
comfortable leaving a almost 15
year old alone in the house
overnight so he brought him over
and

03:48.640 --> 03:53.040
they it was their first flight
in a small aircraft and he did
him just this you know

03:53.040 --> 03:58.080
took him up above the clouds no
turbulence did a nice little
sightseeing tour over London
down the

03:58.080 --> 04:03.520
tabs and then over to to
pharaohs which is our airport
about 15 minutes from the house
from the cottage

04:04.480 --> 04:09.360
and I met them there and then
they went back in a cab and then
I basically spent the rest of
the day

04:09.360 --> 04:16.720
flying and it was f***ing
fantastic I'm sorry got a lot of
email about use of the word
f***ing

04:17.680 --> 04:22.320
I have to say it's a it's a it's
a fun word to use you know I
don't use it to

04:22.320 --> 04:26.800
for any other reason it just
sounds good and it's a it's a
way of expressing myself and
it's just a

04:26.800 --> 04:33.040
word is not going to cut you and
make you bleed okay but it was a
really good time we did a lot of

04:33.040 --> 04:39.120
navigation flying which means
flying on instruments and not on
the GPS and I went to Rochester
airport

04:39.120 --> 04:45.920
which is about I say about 30
miles probably from from
pharaohs and just did lots of
touching

04:45.920 --> 04:51.120
goes and and you know had coffee
at these different airports and
that was really cool and

04:51.120 --> 04:56.560
at the pilot shop because yeah
but come over with only one pair
of headsets and I didn't want to

04:56.560 --> 05:00.960
you know look around to borrow a
pair I needed my own pair anyway
so I bought a great

05:00.960 --> 05:05.600
Dave Clark I think it's a David
Clark the David Clark headset
it's Clark headset you know the

05:05.600 --> 05:15.040
typical green green earpieces
you know robust and I also
bought in the pilot shop a
Bluetooth

05:15.040 --> 05:20.880
GPS receiver and I'd been
playing around a little bit with
some pocket PC applications that
you

05:20.880 --> 05:27.200
can download from around the
internet without a GPS receiver
connected because this is one
thing

05:27.200 --> 05:34.160
called pocket FMS which stands
for flight management system
it's an open source project
where everything

05:34.160 --> 05:39.840
is open source the program is
open source all the the nav data
the maps it's just everyone

05:39.840 --> 05:46.800
contributes to this huge
database and it's amazingly
accurate and for GPS certainly
and it's it's just

05:46.800 --> 05:52.080
it's got everything you would
really want as a pilot in your
flight management system and the
way you

05:52.080 --> 06:01.600
set it up with with your your
flight plan your waypoints you
know all the frequencies are
there

06:01.600 --> 06:06.640
it has a moving map you can zoom
in you can select what you do or
don't want to see it shows

06:06.640 --> 06:13.680
all the symbols that you want as
a pilot highly configurable and
then I just start hunting around

06:13.680 --> 06:19.040
for stuff online of course now I
hooked it up right and so I was
able to kind of see me walking

06:19.040 --> 06:24.560
down the street is a little
plain moving just a couple of
centimeters on the moving map
but there's

06:24.720 --> 06:31.920
a huge rush right now with the
introduction of the Google Maps
API and of course my

06:31.920 --> 06:36.800
sound seeing tour San Francisco
already introduced me to this
got lots of feedback and email
from

06:36.800 --> 06:42.800
people talking about this Google
Maps API where if you have the
the navigational data which
comes

06:42.800 --> 06:50.480
in these formats called M E N M
E A or November Mike echo alpha
then there's G S X where's the

06:50.560 --> 06:55.680
or G P X the G P X data exchange
format there's all these
different formats of course it's
a little

06:55.680 --> 07:01.760
convoluted but once you kind of
figure your way through it there
are ways to actually take data

07:01.760 --> 07:08.400
from a GPS and hooked that into
a Google Maps so that you can
see the entire route that you
travel

07:08.400 --> 07:13.360
and you can do that with the
satellite pictures as well if
you want and you can even put in
way

07:13.360 --> 07:17.840
points that can include a
picture of of something that you
took at that particular spot

07:18.080 --> 07:23.440
and I'm just learning now how to
do all this I thought it was
going to be really complicated

07:23.440 --> 07:28.480
and you had to connect your
camera to your GPS but it's much
simpler than that because the
GPS

07:28.480 --> 07:35.440
basically records the longitude
and latitude but also the time
of day based on UTC time

07:36.480 --> 07:41.840
when you were there so if you
take a camera and your camera is
kind of set to the same time as
your

07:41.840 --> 07:47.760
GPS that data in just about
every single digital camera
these days of course not in the

07:47.760 --> 07:53.840
built-in camera on the XDA which
was quite a disappointment but I
have a different digital

07:53.840 --> 08:00.000
camera and E X and more whatever
it is and it has all that data
right there in it it has the
time

08:00.000 --> 08:04.720
of day data stamped into the
file so it'll automatically sync
up and you can create these
automatic

08:04.720 --> 08:10.320
waypoints and there's a lot of
learning to do still and
actually I found that Koso he's
the

08:10.320 --> 08:16.000
the guy known as pod bad or blog
he of course you know I looked
for you know GPS data and google

08:16.000 --> 08:22.640
maps API is a Google search and
he popped up with something
called jeepster as in golf echo

08:22.640 --> 08:30.640
papa siera tango echo romio so
GPS based site and he's done
exactly this he's got like these

08:30.640 --> 08:36.640
google maps that he's hacked
together with this thing called
what is it the GPS tuner which
is a

08:36.640 --> 08:41.680
piece of software and so he's
taken the output from that
loading it into the google maps
API

08:41.680 --> 08:46.640
you can also load into google
earth and you can do flybys of
of the routes that you did it's
just

08:46.640 --> 08:52.320
I mean it's it's mind boggling
this stuff I showed it to
Patricia last night and she kind
of went

08:53.040 --> 08:58.400
oh okay so it may not be for a
very big audience I'm not quite
sure if it's going to be that

08:58.400 --> 09:05.040
compelling but it's certainly a
major geek thing to do and I'm
really loving it so I'm just

09:05.040 --> 09:11.520
going to look out for all kinds
of programs that that can tile
this stuff together and I'll be

09:12.240 --> 09:18.800
uploading some experiments very
soon there's also a site called
magna log dot com or magna locks
I

09:18.800 --> 09:25.680
think magna log or magna locks
dot com and they have it that's
a pretty cool project you can
upload

09:25.680 --> 09:31.520
your NMEA data and your picture
is although you know it's very
limited it's to kind of like an

09:31.520 --> 09:36.880
attest and you can't upload high
resolution pictures and you only
can upload up to 200k worth

09:36.880 --> 09:42.160
of data so I mean I gladly pay
the guides to use as tools
because the tools are great
they're really

09:42.160 --> 09:49.360
rock so I spent a lot of time
geeking out hooking up this this
Bluetooth and man Bluetooth has
come

09:49.360 --> 09:56.640
a long way it's really working I
have Route 66 on my Mac and I
connected the Bluetooth receiver
to

09:56.640 --> 10:02.800
that and so when you know I've
gotten the car drove around and
you could actually see myself
moving

10:02.800 --> 10:07.680
on the map and it's kind of
exciting you know there's
something about these especially
the Google

10:07.680 --> 10:12.400
Maps API that's really what's
going to blow this wide open I
think and there's a lot of
hacking

10:12.400 --> 10:18.080
going on I'm just trying to jump
into this community now and I
can really see that once again
I'm

10:18.080 --> 10:24.960
very happy I have the MDA3
because it it allows me to to do
all this cool stuff in a very
compact

10:24.960 --> 10:30.000
format and just take it with me
so look for me to be data
logging all kinds of stuff in
fact

10:30.000 --> 10:37.520
what I'll do is I'll log the
route to London that we take and
then I'll also log the route

10:38.800 --> 10:47.440
from our hotel to the party at
its secret location okay so what
is the time that's about 10
minutes

10:47.440 --> 10:52.480
this was just an update I just
didn't have time to do all the
normal preparation so I figured
I just

10:53.280 --> 10:56.640
give you a load on what's going
on so it's going to be a fun
night tonight again sound

10:56.640 --> 11:03.280
seeing tour will be recorded and
we'll be editing that sometime
tomorrow and uploading that

11:03.280 --> 11:07.920
the new pod finder just want to
let you know we're skipping one
week because we want to

11:07.920 --> 11:13.680
go on a different production
schedule which means we'll we'll
basically close production by
Friday

11:14.400 --> 11:19.200
Saturday morning at the latest
and then Tuesday is when the new
shows come out so we're not
going

11:19.200 --> 11:26.240
to have one tomorrow but there
will be a new one in a week from
tomorrow and we also have a new

11:26.240 --> 11:31.600
spike lead podcast coming out
that will come out tomorrow so
that's episode number three in
the

11:31.600 --> 11:38.240
shadow cast of the indie man
movie podcast that we've been
doing with Spike Lee so look out
for that

11:38.240 --> 11:43.840
and I will be back tomorrow with
your daddy source code thank you
very much for subscribing sorry

11:43.840 --> 11:48.160
this was so short I'm sorry I
had to ruin your commute maybe
should go find another great
podcast

11:48.160 --> 11:51.680
to listen to I'm sure you've got
something on your iPod or your
MP3 player don't you

11:56.320 --> 11:59.680
talk to you tomorrow
