[ Previous Archive |Next Archive ] Have an Ipod and like green and orange?29.10.2004 / filed under default Then I got something for you - or to be correct: Eric Rice has it for you: The first podcasting show with it's own ipod tattoo. ;o) Sendung über Blogging (und Pordcasting)29.10.2004 / filed under default Morgen um 18:30 läuft auf 3sat ein (kurzer?) Bericht in der Sendung neues über Bloggen und Podcasten. Dirk Ellenbeck von ipod-news.de ist Gast in der Sendung und darf etwas über unser Lieblingsthema erzählen. ;o) Article on blogcritics.org about podcasting28.10.2004 / filed under default I never heard of blogcritics.org before but when an article hit the mailinglist "please read" I did as I was told. ;o) One of the things that I immediately dug is how Curry receives audio comments from the people that are listening to his show, which he uses within the show. It's a great no-brainer - as a listener, you record a quick audio comment using your audio software of choice.I would listen to his show, but it is about metal - *brrrr* ;o) New Jäger version available28.10.2004 / filed under default David Janes from Jäger just announced a new version on the ipodder mailinglist. While I was not satisfied with the last one, perhaps some of the new features are interessting enough. Check out their blog for all the new stuff. In addition, Jäger 1.6.2 adds attachment expiration. Attachments that are downloaded now expire after 7 days, unless marked as "never expires". A future release will allow more detailed control of the expiration period on a blog-by-blog basisAm I the only one here to ask for a "do not expire unless heard feature based on this little checkbox in my itunes" or something like it? I will try it out next week. For now it does not look like I have a decent podcasting application available which does not drive me nuts right away - and I will stay with my right-clicking solutions in bloglines ... Li Europan lingues es membres del sam familie.27.10.2004 / filed under default That's very cool. Of course the fact that I had english (10 years), french (5) and latin (4) in school makes reading this a whole lot easier but still I am amzed. Li Europan lingues es membres del sam familie. Lor separat existentie es un myth. Por scientie, musica, sport etc., li tot Europa usa li sam vocabularium.Reminds me of the fact that - as far as I know - chinese have different dialects and can't talk to each other but when they write it down, it is no problem 'talk'. If we set aside the fact that their signs are difficult enough ... The ugly D-Man26.10.2004 / filed under default Eric Rice says it "In my ABCs, D is for Doug, not Dvorak". I don't know what the ugly D-man gets from bashing Doug Kaye. As one of the comments in Doug's blog points out: Oh boy, John Dvorak is bashing some new technology saying it has no future? This has been going on since at least 1984 when he said The Macintosh uses an experimental pointing device called a ‘mouse.´ There is no evidence that people want to use these things.’ This is also the guy who has claimed as recently as last month that focusing on the iPod will ruin’ Apple.Of course, podcasts are a new hype and still have to prove whether or not they will be able to stay hype. To bash on Doug this way, the person who has such great audio online (you don't even need to call it podcast because it was there before the name ...) is just low. And I think the ugly D-man might have done something for podcasting (or audio on the web in general) he never intended to: Get people interessted. As I wrote in the comments: Problem is: We know better (especially about what Doug is giving to us) but from a normal point of view his column reads okay till thrustworthy. Nicole, non-mac, non-(ipodder, doppler,jäger but perhaps jpodder some day), bloglines using podcast hearer. Correspondent asks "what is podcasting?"25.10.2004 / filed under default Wolfgang Harrer, blog-correspondent in Washington D.C. for our second national television and DW-WORLD.DE, just asked in his blog what this podcasting is he has heard about and if he should offer it. :o)) The bandwith issue will come - sooner or later25.10.2004 / filed under default Whole Wheat Radio in "Podcasting - Technical Concerns": 2) I am seeing a lot of clients downloading the same podcast MP3s multiple times - sometimes several times a day.This is one reason why I am reluctant to do a podcast - because I am already angry about stupid people not handling their normal blog aggregators. And in opposite to other people I think we need to take care of this before it gets out of hand. "I don't care, I have no traffic limit" might work now with a few subscribers - but imagine 500 people downloading your file again and again and again every day ... This might be the death of podcasting before it even began. btw: I am using bloglines to show me what's new so I can download the files. Yes, manually, but for now that is much more comfort than all of the three applications (Jäger, Doppler, Ipodder). Plus I want to see new files from work and at home and sometimes decide on the entries description whether or not I would like to download this particular show. Quality standards for podcasts, please25.10.2004 / filed under default (Note 2 self: Next time look more carefully - it's Gillmor and not Gilmore *blush*) Adam Curry's Daily Source Code is a good podcast. Keeping it real, he points out today (around minute 4:30) that in preparing for the Gilmour Gang, participants expressed strong anti-Bush opinions... but "no one spoke with the same passion during the actual taping even though the elections did come up... it always amazes me how the minute the microphone turns on then all of a sudden... everyone takes a stupid pill and we're not real anymore." I'd like to have heard the pre-taping discussion!I had heard this before and would like a copy of that too, if this was the 'silent' version ... Which Skype sounds would you like?23.10.2004 / filed under default While still a skype newbie, I hated the call signal right away. Imagine me sitting in front of my computer, listening intensive to english podcasts (because of the used tech slang I am not familiar with in english) and suddenly Sunday Morning by Jaimes Alsop22.10.2004 / filed under default Just send this poem to Christian for his poetcast with a comment - once the new poetcast is only he could send a trackback ;o) Distribute Podcasts to others, perhaps via different p2p-networks?22.10.2004 / filed under default As I was following the discussion on podcasters about how to name a file (don't forget to check out John's "Podcast File Name Usability" ) one topic arised: We don't need long names because when I look at the file, I know that DSC is the daily sourcecode but not that Dawn & Drew Show is named DNDS.
Bush or Kerry? Punch both of them :o)21.10.2004 / filed under default Did you ever want to punch one of the two guys? I've tried it, but was a miserable failure :o)) (via Frozen) Fine fine ...21.10.2004 / filed under default ipodcast.de finally has comments and - gasp - trackbacks. ;o) Everything is fine with podcasting - but not for everyone.20.10.2004 / filed under default Heiko asks "What's wrong with Podcasting?" You can't link to ideas presented inside a podcasted audio file. You can link to the file and say: 10 minutes into the recording, there is an interesting statement made by XYZ. Podcasting is about as convenient as content hidden inside PDF or Flash files. It's non-web.plus later OK, so podcasting is new. Heck, I even own an iPod, I just don't seem to get hooked. [...] Maybe it's just me.Yes it is just you - but that's exactly the point. Podcasting as in "dude I have my ipod, do podcasting and am cool" ist not the point. That's just hype and stupid. But podcasting as in [more ...] Recording for Skype - yes please!19.10.2004 / filed under default Adam Curry mentioned it in his DSC today: Would be great to have a way to record skype calls. I just phoned one (two?) hours with Nicolas from ipodcast.de and parts of that could go out as a podcast, if - yes if we had recording. openpodcast.org18.10.2004 / filed under default If I am thinking of do some podcasts, I have to be honest - I already did a little one, two to be precise. Ben Tucker has started http://openpodcast.org/: OpenPodcast.org is a dynamically generated podcast to which anyone at all can contribute. It expects "short" segments (under 5 minutes) which will be included in the feed as they are received. Think of it as an audio wiki or time-shifted unmoderated call-in show.You'll find the feed here and my first and second try - and it seems as if this is going to be a lot of german influence there if you follow the next ones ;o) Perhaps I should start a little podcasting ...18.10.2004 / filed under default If you are a blogger and do read some feeds (580 should count as 'some') you have crossed the topic podcasting.
