WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:09.680 Well, how do everybody? Welcome to the new revamp studio here at the new Gaff. Still haven't 00:09.680 --> 00:15.640 come up with a right name. I still kind of like the Curry Cottage have thought up a number 00:15.640 --> 00:22.120 of different names. Curry quarters, camp curry, the curry crib. Nothing really strikes 00:22.120 --> 00:27.440 my fancy yet, so looking for ideas for that. As you can tell, I've kind of got the equipment 00:27.440 --> 00:33.200 all set up again. Hold on, I'm still rearranging everything. Yesterday, spent a shit 00:33.200 --> 00:40.000 load of time yesterday being Sunday, Monday for those of you in Australia. Here's what 00:40.000 --> 00:46.760 I did. You have to understand I had about 50 boxes, 5-0, 50 boxes up here in this space 00:46.760 --> 00:50.960 that I have on the third floor, which is pretty much the length of the house, and it's 00:50.960 --> 00:56.760 all wood floors. It's completely clean, recessed lighting. It's exactly what you'd want 00:56.760 --> 01:02.760 for an office studio and hang out. The problem is, the stairs up to this third floor, so 01:02.760 --> 01:07.280 narrow, that there's very little I could actually bring upstairs. Now, you know, I got the 01:07.280 --> 01:11.720 big ugly green thing up here because the guys saw it in half for me, but I had no furniture, 01:11.720 --> 01:19.520 so it was impossible for me to literally unpack stuff. So Saturday, Patricia, I had to run 01:19.520 --> 01:26.040 to home base, which is an equivalent of, you know, what channel might be or home depot 01:26.040 --> 01:31.320 in the US. And while we were looking for other generic stuff, which had to do with the 01:31.320 --> 01:38.440 rest of the house, because of course, my portion is very unimportant. I saw a desk, one 01:38.440 --> 01:42.520 of these, you know, IKEA, like, put it together, yourself things, and even though it's 01:42.520 --> 01:48.560 a sit down model, it has exactly the right shell spaces and stacks to put a miniature 01:48.560 --> 01:54.400 version of the studio up and at least get it running. And spent all day yesterday, putting 01:54.400 --> 02:03.760 it together with the included Alan Rensch and Rensch's, I might say, with my screwdriver 02:03.760 --> 02:09.280 and my head off, I followed the directions completely and believe me, this is not something 02:09.280 --> 02:15.800 that I do a lot. Turns out I'm actually pretty good at it. It looks all right, and I also 02:15.800 --> 02:19.320 bought a nice chair to go with it, which I also had to put together. The reason I got all 02:19.320 --> 02:24.160 this stuff, I could literally throw it into the car and put it together and get something 02:24.160 --> 02:28.640 up and running, because I got a lot of stuff to produce before I leave Wednesday morning 02:28.640 --> 02:34.720 is when I leave for San Francisco for about 10 days. Also, I had to record with Christina, 02:34.720 --> 02:40.320 which I was going to do last night. But you know, sometimes when you put equipment back 02:40.360 --> 02:45.960 together, the weirdest crap happens, I'll give you one example. I had the settings, 02:45.960 --> 02:54.160 the all the EQ and the dynamics and the compression and everything that I had at the old 02:54.160 --> 03:01.800 cottage, I had it all set up just perfectly. And I thought I had it saved, but I hadn't. 03:01.800 --> 03:07.440 And I'd said, you know, it's this Yamaha Alpha Whiskey 16 golf digital, who howling, you 03:07.440 --> 03:13.840 can save the scene, essentially all your settings, I neglected to recall that you also 03:13.840 --> 03:18.400 have to save the song data, because that is what it's attached to. And so, of course, 03:18.400 --> 03:23.560 I spent a whole bunch of time figuring out how this fucking mix works again. And then there 03:23.560 --> 03:28.720 was like a hum, and not just a little hum, it was a very noticeable, like a ground loop 03:28.720 --> 03:34.800 hum. These things can be total shit to track down. So I went to like a quarter, 12 midnight 03:34.880 --> 03:42.720 last night, I was tracking the hum. Finally found it. I had a hum or in my monitor. And 03:42.720 --> 03:48.000 I'm not quite sure why, but of course, the first steps to resolve that are to plug the monitor 03:48.000 --> 03:53.920 into a different circuit on the house, which means, of course, I'll have to buy, oh, I don't 03:53.920 --> 04:00.480 know, about 35 feet of extension cord to get to it. Another wall outlet that has another socket. 04:01.440 --> 04:06.720 So needless to say, it's had the usual trials and tribulations of getting everything back together. 04:06.720 --> 04:13.680 This, by the way, is officially a daily source code episode number 526. Sorry, I didn't mention 04:13.680 --> 04:19.120 that right off the bat. I've got a best of Charlie lined up for you, because I still have the 04:19.120 --> 04:25.680 vote of phone bandwidth, which, by the way, I have to say, is quite amazing. Now, of course, 04:25.680 --> 04:32.400 it costs, was it 49 pounds a month, so about a hundred bucks a month. And they do say that there's 04:32.400 --> 04:37.440 unlimited bandwidth with little asterix that means you can only really download about a gig. 04:37.440 --> 04:43.680 So I've been very careful not to not to break the kind of the policy of downloading too much. 04:44.480 --> 04:48.560 Of course, I do have to download best of Charlie's. I have to upload best of Charlie. So that is 04:49.200 --> 04:55.920 definitely is eating into my budget. And Christina, of course, you know, Christina's, I mean, 04:55.920 --> 04:59.760 I told it don't start up lime wire, don't do any of this other stuff, because you'll be out of 04:59.760 --> 05:04.480 bandwidth. It'll be a huge problem, because, you know, of course, the broadband doesn't actually 05:04.480 --> 05:09.040 arrive for another week and a half, at least. And I'm still only hoping that it'll be in by then. 05:11.280 --> 05:18.320 Let's see. So was it Friday that the sky satellite installer was supposed to drop 05:18.320 --> 05:24.800 by I can't remember if I told you the story or not. And so we were waiting, you know, he called 05:24.800 --> 05:31.440 it 10 to 9, said I'll be there sometime between nine o'clock and one o'clock. And then I got a call 05:32.160 --> 05:38.880 which went to voicemail, probably unfortunately, but it wouldn't have made much difference. 05:38.880 --> 05:43.920 You have the driver can't find your house, which, you know, come on. This is the Beverly Hills 05:43.920 --> 05:48.640 of Guilford, my friends. It's very easy to find addresses here. I mean, particularly with, 05:48.640 --> 05:53.920 with UK post codes. And, you know, so anyway, so please call back. So you call back the number. 05:53.920 --> 05:58.080 You go through the whole fucking menu tree. I should have recorded it. It was so ridiculous. 05:58.080 --> 06:04.640 You finally wind up with the if you have an appointment today. And then you press that option. 06:04.640 --> 06:11.200 And then the announcement says, well, you've called it a very busy time. Please call back later. 06:11.360 --> 06:15.840 And then you get disconnected. So I finally wound up going through sales and then got into the 06:15.840 --> 06:21.360 right support, you know, group, which I think they're all in Ireland for sky, at least it sounds 06:21.360 --> 06:28.240 like they're all from Ireland. And, uh, oh, I'm sorry, sir. The installer couldn't find your house. 06:28.240 --> 06:33.040 So we canceled the appointment. We have to set up a new one. You know, like, can you do it Wednesday? 06:33.120 --> 06:41.280 So no, I can't, you know, and what is this fucking sorry excuse for, you know, that you, 06:41.280 --> 06:45.520 he couldn't find the house. You know, are you a satellite company? Yes. Have you ever heard of 06:45.520 --> 06:51.520 satellite navigation? I mean, it'll drop you off right in front of the house. So needless to say, 06:51.520 --> 06:56.800 it didn't matter how much I pitched or moaned. I have an appointment now for the end of the month. 06:56.800 --> 07:00.960 So I had to go out and get some free view boxes. This is this digital video broadcast stuff, 07:01.040 --> 07:05.520 which is very successful, by the way, here in the UK. So at least we have a good clean picture 07:05.520 --> 07:12.000 now on the aerial on the roof. But I was pretty annoyed that, you know, that the television, 07:12.000 --> 07:16.400 we need our TV, we need to see big brother. So I've got that square to away. 07:17.760 --> 07:22.720 Just isn't quite the way I wanted it to happen. Anyway, the vote of phone ban with just to get 07:22.720 --> 07:27.840 back to that is actually pretty good. You know, I can do email quick enough. And I've set up the airport. 07:27.840 --> 07:33.200 I had to do some funky routing because, you know, it's kind of funky to route through the 07:33.200 --> 07:39.920 year power book, a USB network adapter. So there was some actual command line stuff I had to get into, 07:39.920 --> 07:48.400 but I was able to set it up luckily. Now, of course, now I have to go into town and prove that I'm 07:48.400 --> 07:53.440 over 18 years old to the, to the fine folks at vote of phone because they have some kind of, 07:54.400 --> 08:00.800 let me say, I'll actually read it to you. If you try to go to, oh, even if you go to myspace.com. 08:01.920 --> 08:07.680 So I go to myspace.com and then up pops this fine warning, which says content control restricted access. 08:07.680 --> 08:11.600 You are not able to access this service because vote of phone content control is in place. 08:12.160 --> 08:17.040 If you're over 18 years, you can easily remove vote of phone content control. Go to about content 08:17.040 --> 08:20.880 control below for further information and details about how to remove it. And this is the fun 08:20.880 --> 08:25.440 thing. So you click on about content control and then they give you all their policies, but they don't 08:25.440 --> 08:29.680 actually give you a number or any way to remove that. So you wind up calling in, going through 08:29.680 --> 08:37.920 another menu tree and then you have to essentially assign yourself a pin number, then you have to go to the 08:37.920 --> 08:43.520 store with some kind of identification and then they'll take that off. By the way, it's not just my space 08:43.600 --> 08:52.720 that has been blocked. Blip TV and any of the of the video sites, not BTpodshow.com, by the way. 08:54.400 --> 08:58.080 Now that I've mentioned, I'm sure it can't last more than a day before that gets flagged as 08:58.080 --> 09:03.520 completely inappropriate. So it's kind of interesting that they put that in from the outset. 09:03.520 --> 09:07.440 Don't mention it when you order the stuff would have been nice to have known beforehand. 09:09.440 --> 09:12.480 Let me see, before we get into the best of charity today, here's promo. 09:12.480 --> 09:19.520 The soul of the city is playing with corruption. Every day, cops see death. But for the first time, 09:20.400 --> 09:25.840 I felt it. I used to believe in justice. Now, come on the end. 09:29.760 --> 09:34.080 Working with dead cops is a step, isn't it? It's so big. 09:34.080 --> 09:38.080 You're both lucky to still have your bad eyes. I have no more of that bullshit. 09:38.080 --> 09:42.720 That's fun with that important. How do you make it do it? I'm taking charge of the situation. 09:42.720 --> 09:47.440 You're making a big mistake. No, I'm correcting more. I've got a clean shot. 09:47.440 --> 09:49.440 Hold it, I can take it right now. 09:53.120 --> 09:58.240 Sports City PDs, the critically acclaimed police drama, made available exclusively via video podcast 09:58.240 --> 10:05.840 and can be found at one place. The number one new media network podshow is at portcitypedi.podshow.com 10:05.840 --> 10:12.640 to see the show and portcitypedi.com to join the community. Episode 5 launches January 22nd. 10:12.640 --> 10:16.240 If you thought the last show was intense, you ain't seen nothing yet. 10:17.600 --> 10:22.160 Yeah, I was a port citypedi brand new episode out now. You got to check it out. 10:23.360 --> 10:27.040 This was the episode. I think I was supposed to be and unfortunately, 10:29.280 --> 10:32.880 I couldn't make the shoot date, which I really bummed out about because 10:32.960 --> 10:38.800 those guys are doing some amazing shit on an amazing budget. You have to check it out portcitypedi.podshow.com. 10:39.520 --> 10:43.760 Of course, even though I am going to do it, man, I almost don't have to do a best of 10:43.760 --> 10:46.800 Charlie. I've been talking so much so far. I was at 13, 14 minutes. 10:48.080 --> 10:53.760 Everybody's been talking about the new iPhone and amidst all of the the big move of 2007 and 10:53.760 --> 11:00.960 all the boxes. Of course, I think I read, I was in gadgets coverage, their live blog coverage. 11:00.960 --> 11:06.560 I was pretty cool, actually. I think they must have had a two-man team. We just refreshed the page 11:06.560 --> 11:10.720 and then there'd be a timestamp and then whatever Steve had just shown or done or whatever was 11:10.720 --> 11:15.280 happening on stage and then the next time you refreshed those posts would actually have pictures in 11:15.280 --> 11:20.240 them. So that was pretty damn good. And of course, I think you can download the keynote 11:21.040 --> 11:26.560 from Mac world now, from the iTunes music store. Haven't done that just yet because, well, 11:26.640 --> 11:35.280 the whole photo phone thing, right? I have to say, just looking at that phone. 11:37.680 --> 11:42.240 Here's what happened to me. I'm looking at the phone and all of a sudden, and that's not a 11:42.240 --> 11:49.520 drumstick hitting my cowbell, my friends. Now, of course, then the whole controversy everywhere in 11:49.520 --> 11:57.760 the blogosphere about it being a closed box, will it actually work about it not coming out 11:57.760 --> 12:04.960 until June or July? And just look, this phone looks fucking awesome. It has just about everything 12:04.960 --> 12:10.240 in it that you'd want. Although I do want to say a few things about it. And particularly because 12:10.240 --> 12:18.720 on the same day as the iPhone announcement, Nokia or Nokia came out with the the new version of 12:18.720 --> 12:28.640 their internet tablet, the N800. And I was sent one as a gift, I'll say, not to review, but just 12:28.640 --> 12:35.840 as a gift from Nokia. And I did want to report on what I think about this thing because it essentially 12:35.840 --> 12:41.040 has kind of the same dimensions, I think, as the iPhone. Now, it's not a phone. It's an internet tablet, 12:41.120 --> 12:50.160 which means it has it's I guess the idea is to enable all of the functions that you use the 12:50.160 --> 12:59.120 internet for. And mainly, I almost think mainly multimedia applications in conjunction with 12:59.120 --> 13:04.960 either a Wi-Fi network or with through Bluetooth with your phone. So, of course, I have the E61, 13:05.040 --> 13:11.680 which I love very much, which I bought on my own, Nikol. And I've been using this device for 13:11.680 --> 13:16.560 about a week now. No, less than a week. What is it? About half, yeah, four, three, four days. 13:17.680 --> 13:24.640 And this is probably exactly the opposite in what would you call it? 13:27.280 --> 13:32.000 It's an opposite culture that is trying to be built up around around this internet tablet. I presume 13:32.000 --> 13:41.040 at least, because it runs on Linux. And I think it's a Debian is the flavor of Linux that it's 13:41.040 --> 13:47.200 that it's running. So, there is an active developer forum. And this is essentially exactly what 13:47.200 --> 13:54.880 everyone is talking about. If the iPhone is coming out, since it has OS X on it, which is also a 13:54.880 --> 13:59.920 version of Unix, or that's what it's said to be running on, we'll be able to run applications 13:59.920 --> 14:04.000 on it. And the answer came back, because no, absolutely not. It's a close box, and you can't do that. 14:04.000 --> 14:09.200 Whatever. And so, there's a lot of people screaming and yelling. Now, if you look at the 14:10.080 --> 14:17.760 at this internet tablet, it has some amazing things built in that were, I think some of them 14:17.760 --> 14:24.320 developed by Nokia, but all all open source, all based on Debian Linux. I think they're all open 14:24.320 --> 14:31.280 source, at least. You can make, there's a little camera that pops out. You can make internet-based 14:31.280 --> 14:36.240 phone calls, video phone calls. I've actually tried one forks amazingly well with your presence 14:36.240 --> 14:44.240 managed through, see, I have an account on G-talk. So, that's the, the Google chat and 14:44.240 --> 14:48.400 and talk server video service or community, I am service. That's what it is. 14:48.480 --> 14:57.760 It has a very interesting way of knowing when you are using your finger to touch the screen versus 14:57.760 --> 15:03.040 the built-in stylus. I'm not a big fan of stylus. I just want to be able to touch stuff with 15:03.040 --> 15:07.680 my thumbs or my fingers. And so, we'll bring up a larger version of a keyboard. This is the first 15:07.680 --> 15:13.280 observation I have. Typing on any type of touch screen. I don't care if it's on the iPhone or 15:13.280 --> 15:19.040 if it's on an internet tablet. When you actually have a screen that portrays a keyboard, 15:19.040 --> 15:24.320 yeah, it could be even a full-size keyboard. It is definitely not the same thing as using a regular 15:24.320 --> 15:33.840 keyboard or even the tacit response you get from using real keys like on the E61 on the phone that I have. 15:34.640 --> 15:40.480 So, I think a lot of people may be a little bit disappointed just in general about the speed 15:40.480 --> 15:49.120 and the re-learning you have to do to be able to type quickly and efficiently using an on-screen 15:49.120 --> 15:59.280 keyboard because I found it reasonably difficult. Now, what's really nice about the Nokia tablet 15:59.280 --> 16:06.960 is first of all, it works now and it has a full-fledged browser in it, which does JavaScript and they 16:06.960 --> 16:13.840 even have a version of Flash which kind of works Flash 7. So, it doesn't work with every site. 16:13.840 --> 16:18.480 Unfortunately, it doesn't work with all of Pod Show yet, at least not with the MASH board and some 16:18.480 --> 16:23.680 other places where we use Flash 7. I think that they're trying to get Flash 8 licensed into it. 16:26.080 --> 16:32.400 But if you look at the two devices side by side and I'd have to say that I'm very happy with the 16:32.400 --> 16:36.640 phone that I have. I don't necessarily need to have a phone, but I love having a larger screen 16:37.360 --> 16:42.000 something with audio, with video that can do all these things that connects up to, you know, 16:42.000 --> 16:50.320 basically the world. I think that that's something to look at. But if I showed this to Patricia or 16:50.320 --> 16:55.440 Christina, I think they'd probably cast the decide within five minutes of looking at it because 16:55.440 --> 17:02.960 it no way does it reflect that fantastic interface experience that I saw on the iPhone. 17:03.920 --> 17:09.680 So, you know, for all of the the back and forth thing that we're doing, look, either you buy the 17:09.680 --> 17:15.920 iPhone and enjoy it, or if you're such a great developer and you want to create fantastic applications, 17:15.920 --> 17:22.000 take a look at this. This to me seems like exactly the device the community is looking for. 17:22.000 --> 17:28.400 It does Wi-Fi. It does any other, you know, any type of connection. I think it even has 17:28.480 --> 17:37.120 an infrared. It might even have infrared. It's which is seamlessly between Wi-Fi or my 3G phone. 17:37.840 --> 17:43.920 So, I don't even have to think about that. It has a streaming media player. As I said, it has the 17:43.920 --> 17:50.320 full-fledged web browser. It has a personal information management, you know, I map email. 17:51.200 --> 17:55.760 And of course, you can download all kinds of applications. For the geeks, it has an x-term, 17:55.760 --> 18:00.080 yeah, you can drop right down into a command line and you can you're actually in a shell on this 18:00.080 --> 18:06.240 device. You know, let's let's show the world that we actually can do something phenomenal. And let's 18:06.240 --> 18:12.000 port some really fucking cool applications. The number one would be open office. Port open office 18:12.000 --> 18:17.680 to this device and we have a huge fucking winner. It has it already has a PDF reader, but it doesn't 18:17.680 --> 18:23.520 do office documents. So, you know, anyway, I'm kind of going off on a tangent here, but it's 18:23.520 --> 18:31.760 definitely something worth looking at. Because, well, not just, I just love for some of these 18:31.760 --> 18:35.760 people who are yelling so loudly about Apple creating it. Who the fuck cares what Apple does. 18:35.760 --> 18:39.360 Let them do whatever they want to do. Let them sell the candy they want to sell. That's fine. 18:40.080 --> 18:43.840 But everyone's saying, oh, you know, we have to be able to muck around with it bullshit. 18:44.400 --> 18:47.920 Oh, my go find something that's useful that actually is out there and saying, hey, come 18:47.920 --> 18:55.120 muck with me, please. And you can do that with this N800. I was not paid for this endorsement, 18:55.120 --> 19:02.240 but I did receive a free thing. But I really mean it. Let me see, was anything else I wanted to 19:02.240 --> 19:09.360 talk to you about. No, I don't think so. I think that's that's enough for right now. All right, 19:09.360 --> 19:13.200 so I still have this best of Charlie. I'm trying to think what I should do now. If maybe I should 19:13.200 --> 19:17.680 just leave, just leave that until tomorrow, since I've done such a phenomenal update, 19:18.960 --> 19:23.920 yeah, that's what I'll do. I'll just close this down for today. We will call it a full 19:23.920 --> 19:31.600 fledged episode daily source code 526 tomorrow. Then I will bring you, I have two more best of Charlie's 19:31.600 --> 19:37.920 lined up. Of course, it was all scheduled out perfectly to the time with the with the two weeks 19:38.000 --> 19:44.880 that I thought I would be off the air. And as it turns out, well, I could use two more days. 19:44.880 --> 19:50.480 And then Wednesday, of course, is this travel day. So we'll be getting back into the swing of 19:50.480 --> 19:54.480 things very soon. I would love for you to start calling into the voicemail numbers again. 20:08.800 --> 20:15.360 And what I promise I'll do is I'll set up, I'll make some photos of the inside here so you can 20:15.760 --> 20:38.960 follow along. Right on. Okay. Anything else? Yeah. I just found out Trash comes on Tuesdays. 20:38.960 --> 20:45.840 We got a shit load. And everything will be kind of back to normal by midweek after I get into 20:45.840 --> 20:50.240 San Francisco and we back. So get your promos coming in. Oh, I know what I had to say. 20:51.120 --> 20:55.360 Remember what I told you about that movie, Stomp the Yard? It was the number one movie last week 20:55.360 --> 20:59.280 and brought an over $20 million dollars. And if you want to find out more about it, 20:59.280 --> 21:05.760 it's stompthepodcast.com. Costs us World Tony will talk to you all about it. He's got a couple 21:05.760 --> 21:10.960 of episodes there about the movie. And it's exactly what I predicted. I told you was going to be 21:10.960 --> 21:17.280 number one movie and voila. The number one movie of the weekend over 20 million bucks.

It was kind of pissing me off. 21:47.120 --> 21:53.200 It's, uh, I had it so beautifully tweaked. Anyway, uh, as I said, I'll get some pictures going. 21:53.200 --> 21:58.240 So you can see what it looks like.

He dug up some some old stuff. 22:15.840 --> 22:20.720 Okay, everybody. Uh, hope you don't didn't find this a waste of time since it was really just 22:20.720 --> 22:27.680 about me and about my world and my diminished world and small scope of view of the past two weeks. 22:27.680 --> 22:31.280 I can't wait to get back out into the real world again and get some shit done. 22:32.240 --> 22:36.480 Uh, show notes at dailysourcecode.com.
