[ Previous Archive |Next Archive ] Just claiming some feeds29.06.2005 / filed under podcast As it seems, the claiming system in Odeo is a bit complicated to figure out. how to use new feed elements for Itunes29.06.2005 / filed under default If you want the information in a better way presented than in the apple file, go to this nice new website of Seth: How To Prepare Your Podcast RSS for iTunes First reactions on the new Itunes28.06.2005 / filed under default While everybody else seems to be all glowing about this great easy piece of software, how good the implementation is, how no real podcast client will survive etc, I can tell you: crap. Bloglines: Fire that plumber!28.06.2005 / filed under default Great. Since some hours, all of my Gnomedex-Feeds actually show entries - exactly for what RSS was not built for *grrrr* Y360 is now open for users / new comment feature24.06.2005 / filed under default Two news from the product blog: The wait is over. You don't need an invitation anymore to sign up for Yahoo! 360?. Our beta is now open to one and all. So, if anyone's been bugging you for an invite, tell them they can visit 360.yahoo.com to sign up and get started. Spread the word.And finally, a step forward to real blogging - you are now able to track your comments a bit: We just released a blog feature that gathers everything people have been posting on your blog in one convenient location. To check out your blog comments page, click your My Blog link. You'll find Blog Comments in the upper-left side of the page.Still not as usable as a notification feature per mail, but a step forward. Tags: Yahoo, Y360 Sometimes we mean, what we say ...24.06.2005 / filed under default We don't always screw up. Sometimes, us non English speakers mean what we say ... *g* When you eml'd me and said 'I've been under water' I thought you meant you'd been snowed under with work! Sometimes, the translation really is literal...!but Loic clarifies: everything is fine and Dennis... that is what I really meant, the rain came after.Seems very messy, hope they get everything back working :o( How to not recruite bloggers24.06.2005 / filed under default MSN is searching bloggers. Great. MSN is unusable for me (we don't get along), but then again, blogging is a great idea. MSN recently put out a call to hire paid bloggers to write and edit Web sites about five broad topics: fashion/food/style, music, sports, technology, and television, MediaPost reports.And that is where I go hm? They are searching a) passionate bloggers who should be b) experienced in the tools. And approach c) journalist through d) absolute classical recruiting sites. meeeeeeep. If you want such persons, you post those job offers into the blogs! And let it spread there. Let's the job ad be searchable, so that any seriously interested person gets it through their search subscriptions. Like "Blogger Job" or "blog job journalist" or whatever. Otherwise, they will probably "just" get writers or journalists. Who are nice people with good work, no doubt. But I don't know many writers or journalists who like the idea of "the more the merrier" as in several blog postings a day ... Tags: Microsoft, MSN, paid bloggers Sorry.24.06.2005 / filed under default How not to write articles and not make trackbacks .... that went out double to Steve's blog and I don't know why. *grr* ipodderx about to do windows23.06.2005 / filed under default Now, that will be interesting ... :) from the ipodderx blog: It’s been a deep dark secret for some time now, but we can finally announce that a Windows version of iPodderX is on its way! So not only will iPodderX run on Intel on the Mac OS, it will also run on Intel or AMD on your PC. Tags: ipodderx, podcasting Do you Odeo?23.06.2005 / filed under default I just received an invitation for Odeo, I think I signed up for that a longer time ago. Fight the (European) Broadcast flag - and learn something about mass communication on the way ...23.06.2005 / filed under default The short version: go read
(Tags: European Broadcast Flag, EFF, BroadcastFlag, Broadcast Flag) And know for my longer take on that ;): If you know me for a bit longer, you might have learned that I am quite opinionated about some things. At the same time I feel quite unsure about 'the facts' of some of the topics I am passionated about. The whole international copyright / free speech stuff is such a thing. Don't get me wrong, I am quite aware of the fact that I know more than the usual person about it. [more ...] Cooking23.06.2005 / filed under default While doing the latest entry for sushiradio.com called Cocktail Gokiba I was wondering - am I the only woman not cooking? Useful Sounds No. 34: how podcasting made a conference really great22.06.2005 / filed under podcast A new Useful Sounds for your listening pleasure :)) Yes, still reboot orientated, this time my first personal feedback on why I though reboot was great. I really had a great time and everybody contributing to that - thank you so very much! :)
Content in this podcast:
And please help me to decide what to first make as soundbits for Creative Commons licences intro! Which one would be great to be the first recorded? New Skype version sucks, messages are not delivered16.06.2005 / filed under default In case you where tempted to instal the new version 1.3 - don't. Tags: skype The bad and the god guys16.06.2005 / filed under default At reboot I had the pleasure of not only meeting Rick Segal, but also spend part of my first afternoon in Copenhagen with him - make that a coffee and a fun shopping trip for some power plug converter, because he left his at home. Shooping in Danemark proved to be quite difficult, not all of them are willing to just let you buy stuff. Every one of my adventures scored one for the good guys; my fellow teammates and my country as a whole. We were the Americans. We were appreciated. The flag on my uniform and later on my laptop bag meant something.I can imagine. Most of the Americans at reboot excused themself for Bush, and did get a lot of applause. But then again, it is people like Rick who show us, that there are Americans out there, who are from the "good side". Note, that I have not said anything about the content of the post, which is not as important to me as the fact, that he is trying to say what he is thinking and why. Blogging help others to understand why one thinks the way one does - and on the way show that there are not only 'crazy' Americans. What's your Skype Id again?15.06.2005 / filed under default Back in the days before voip there was this little tip: Make sure to remember your own phone number. I love Coverville15.06.2005 / filed under default Just wanted to make sure I don't forget to say this once in a while. I don't have a little blogroll at the sidebar, because my blogroll is that long :) dub dub dub15.06.2005 / filed under default I'm home again from reboot but still playing catch up with feeds, writing, and the daily life. Don't try to be *my* responsible parent08.06.2005 / filed under default Listeners know, that I have ranted about this before - every time somebody cries out for a rating system, so they or their kids would not be 'harmed', there is only one answer to it: Congratulations on being a responsible parent. As long as you don't try to be _my_ responsible parent by getting Apple to censor what it offers, we'll get along fine.Thank you. reboot in Copenhagen, two more days!!!08.06.2005 / filed under default In case you where wondering what I have been doing the last days, go take a look at all the podcasts I have been doing. And there are even more phonecalls and great chats behind that. And you will probably know why I will not be available the next days also PLUS why I am that excited. New podiobook: The Adventures Of Tom Sawyer05.06.2005 / filed under default Well, it is not listed under podiobooks.com (for now), but it defenetly is worth the time: A quick how to make a podcast04.06.2005 / filed under default Eric Rice has made a fine guideline on "How to build a 10 minute podcast": 00:10 date/promo/tease/banter/adWith this help, there is no reason why you can't do a podcast, right? ;o) If you are still reluctant, go over to Eric's post and read the rest in between the segments. :) Come to the dark side ....04.06.2005 / filed under default Tris was just asking for a voice over and we made the usual deal - with a twist: Tris Hussey says: voice-over for chocolate...a new biz...So I belong to the dark side ... yes, somehow I alsway new ... ;) CBC launches podsafe music podcast04.06.2005 / filed under default Great news from Tod: "CBC Launches 100% Canadian, 100% "Podsafe" Indy Music Podcast" Oh, that's bad ...04.06.2005 / filed under default Celine Dion 'performing' Michael Jackson's Bad.
