Three wicked which watches!30.05.2005 / filed under default Take the challenge and go for the Tongue Twister on sushiradio.com. :o) How to determine a winner?26.05.2005 / filed under default Tris had mentioned before, I should start selling personalized voice recordings. Skype issues26.05.2005 / filed under default Would you believe it? My innocent Tascam USB-122 is the reason (or part of the reason), why Skype did not want to start. It was just click and freeze. Who needs traveller miles - get Skype points!21.05.2005 / filed under default The channel 9 guy says: I see Lenn Pryor's fingerprints on this one. Share Skype. A blog kind of thing over on Skype.And it is the best "corporate blog" I have seen in a long time. It is fun to play around. WhileI don't like the fact, that only registered people will be able to comment, and I also don't like to type in my skype passport in there (hei - I am creative enough to know what one can do with this kind of user data, connected to blog trails), I totally understand, why their are doing it. And I was able to login once (it also recognized me) but not anymore - so I can't login for commenting, but the same settings allow me to sign in to the webpage - great *grrrr*) It needs some more design to really be able to see the different entries - but then again, I get the feed to see new articles and will then jump directly to them. Login will also provide you with the affiliate code for your Skype Points. Which I think is a great idea, because it felt kind of cheesy to promote Skype for some cents - but points and possible nice gadget like stuff in return - who could resistt? And seems I was not the only one having that feeling: We’ve had many people ask, "I like Skype and I promote it a lot - can I get something in return?" We launched our paid affiliate scheme just a few weeks ago, but some of you may not be up for cash, or the service may not be available in your country, or for whatever other reason, you might not find the paid affiliate scheme to be most appropriate for you.Another reason why a blog is great? The forum is unusable. It might be usable if it would be newsserver style, but this amount of postings on a webboard - forget it. So, welcome Skype blog and let's see what we get from you over the next weeks. :) And now, the new cute banner (yes, it is flash.) Why do musicians always just sell CDs?19.05.2005 / filed under default Dave was plugging Paul Melancon, the guy he was interviewing. If you have not heard it - the music is really good. Why is it ...18.05.2005 / filed under default that everytime you *check* the links from your post, they all are fine, but once you say 'oh, don't need it this time' there is at least one error in it? Useful Sounds No. 32: The "I want your sushi" edition!18.05.2005 / filed under podcast Welcome to the latest podcast of mine :)
*lol* and it is Si-ri-us, not Sirus (heard to much of Mark Jeffrey's podiobook ...) Hidden Scene from Star Wars!17.05.2005 / filed under default Found at Spreeblick: "Breaking News: Star Wars III" Podnova goes beta17.05.2005 / filed under default An interesting new one click subscription for podcasts was announced today: Podnova. From the announcement: PodNova is an initiative from Active8. The company which was at the birth of iSpider (now known as iPodder lemon). We have tried to solve the following problems.While I am still not sure if I want one instance to see all of my subscriptions, this looks like a promising concept, especially because it seems very open and could be integrated into the clients itself. The website itself is not suitable for people older than 12 years (or you will have to resize the font size ...), and there are some bugs in there (you can't find your podcast at the moment unless it was in the news section from ipodder even though the feeds are available in that directory), it seems like a good idea. Also, if a podcaster has no flash application available as player, he can use this service also. More of that when my recording works again *grrr* Oh yeah, and you can add me to your list with that pink button at the right side - they do have a new top40 there. ;o) Great.17.05.2005 / filed under default Seems as if my computer takes it seriously that I just moved him down to earth from my table to get a less noisy recording - my usb device refuses to work. And the two Skype-Interviews I planed today also did not happen, because of echo on one side and bad connection on the other. Hm this site not reachable?14.05.2005 / filed under default I had some comments in the last time about useful sounds not being reachable from a browser and the feed also, and it has come to an amount which gets me suspicious. My hoster sold me as a customer recently and I would like to dig into this. So if you had any problems reaching my site in the last weeks, please let me now, I have Australia and Amerika on the list for now :( What is it with you americans and country?13.05.2005 / filed under default I'll have to extend the quote I read from Simon Cowell on American Idol: "I don't understand country, but then again, I'm European". Voila, the pre-conference Reboot podcast13.05.2005 / filed under default Wondering where the hell I am again? Wonder no more, see my a podcast for this summer: for reboot. Note to self09.05.2005 / filed under default Write more fancy press releases, so one is forced to come up with more fancy descriptions of my business. More Maitai, less wifi08.05.2005 / filed under default *lol* the latest Corante Podcast of Alex Williams and Matt May has many great quotes in it. Jason Calacanis goes podcast :)06.05.2005 / filed under default Whether this is the influence of sitting next to famous podcasters like Cameron Reilly at Demo or working with them like Eric Rice, he has a podcast now - or at least he claims he has. Increase the chances for my dreams to become true06.05.2005 / filed under default Visit Philipp's Dream Meme. :) Who would have guessed ...06.05.2005 / filed under default I am not Anti-MS, far the opposite. I am complaining about several things, but most of it is not the evil kind of complaining. Except for the passport stuff. Money does not corrupt the strong.05.05.2005 / filed under default mcdtracy did write on the yahoo mailinglist (still about the Adam Curry going serious thing) Money doesn't have to corrupt a medium... It may try but the integrity of the artist is not for sale.My answer: "Which means you need to be a strong person and not weakly falling for the money. And you need to know, what your ethics and values are, and then stand up for them. Surprise: Then money won't corrupt you. Then you are someone to be taken seriously and gain respect. Otherwise, you will fall. Maybe this is what this is all about? The recognition that one would not be strong enough to resist temptation and at the same time be pissed about the fact about that you won't be part of the cool kids? 'Podcasting' is everything you make out of it. There is always people giving orders - but the other side needs to take them." Your opinions on that? I'd love your response on this. Useful Sounds No. 31: Y360, openbc and reboot03.05.2005 / filed under podcast In this podcast I give you some of my ideas about why I do like business thinking as an overall attitude.
(I could not post this earlier, because Dreamhost did take a full 24 hours before activating my account ...) The show notes: [more ...] Will the whining please stop?02.05.2005 / filed under default The podcaster mailinglist on yahoo just went balistic over the announcements of Adam Curry and his strategy cast. The cubicle escape pod01.05.2005 / filed under default Though it lacks autodiscovery of rss, the font is ugly (bloglines will solve that), underline things are not links, the comment function, ... I do like this business podcast which I discovered through the business section of podcast alley. Okay. That's unfair!01.05.2005 / filed under default I like domain names to mean something. Some of you had the 'luck' to go with me through my domain name finding woes. Furl is cute01.05.2005 / filed under default I was asked why I do use furl and not delicious. The good days and the bad in advertisement01.05.2005 / filed under default One might think, people in advertisement do have a heart ;o) Proposing in Paris ...01.05.2005 / filed under default Who says, flickr-feeds can't be interesting? I was skipping through Jason's photostream from Paris because I expected some photos of Lesblogs, when this photo's subtitle caught my attention: She has no idea I'm going to ask her to marry me in about 48 hours. ;-)Proposing in Paris in spring - quite romantic, and documented on flickr - how romantic too. ;)) |
