In trying to fix his previous noise problems, your host appears to have squelched that a bit, but ends up with clippy audio. Sigh. More stuff: My KVM switch died. Double sigh. I expand a bit more about my rant against Lisa Shapiro and her NY Times editorial. Chatted about TinyP2P and MoleSter. I thought […]

I upgraded my Python distribution to 2.4, and that broke a couple of packages that my script which generated the pages used. Rest assured, you can now surf over to the Cinnamon Bear Podcast and get Cocklebur Cowboys, the latest episode. Apologies.

People keep saying nice things about my blog. Golly, thanks!

My criticisms don’t just extend to others. Here’s my own attempt at self-flagellation today. I fired up my ipod this morning and was listening to my latest show as I came in. I like to do this on occasion, mainly to monitor the technical quality as well as whether I sound like a complete dolt. […]

I must admit, I’m a little bit frustrated with the current crop of ipodder clients. I don’t know if it is just me, but I’m finding them to be relatively unreliable, and remarkably difficult to work with. Before I go off (and people respond in kind with flames), I’ll admit it could just be me […]

No Need to Click Here – I’m just claiming my feed at Feedster

Wherein your host lists a number of people who have said nice things about us, and mentions the weekend’s projects: a new icon redesign for brainwagon and Helix DNA Server. Items mentioned in the podcast: Chad over at phpmp.com mentioned brainwagon in his podcast. He is also the brains behind podcast247.com which provides podcasts via […]

Yesterday, I experienced something new as I recorded a podcast. It began innocently enough. I thought I would do ten minutes or so on basic philosophy: why I keep a weblog, and why I record podcasts, and why I think both are important. I’ve hinted at some of this before, but I thought that I […]

The fine gents at podcat.com saw fit to include me in their best of podcasting show for November 27th. Thanks for the plug!

My rant begins with Dave Winer’s post on Scripting News, from which I quote: Here’s the Trade Secrets podcast I promised yesterday where we explain where Adam and I see podcasting going. Since it’s a travel day (flying to Boston for the I&S conference) there won’t be much to read here, so I’m asking for […]

Lisa Williams has a nice weblog post on the need for uBlogger: a universal way of creating any weblog content from anywhere. Great idea! It’s really annoying to me just how many applications and translation stages my posts have to go through. Can we evolve to a more streamlined blogging future?

Damn, it’s been nearly a week since I put out my last one, and this was painful to put out. Hopefully it isn’t too painful to listen to. Items from the show: Shameless plug for my Cinnamon Bear Podcast. I upgraded this weblog to use the latest version of the CG Powerpack. I rambled about […]

Occasionally I scan the referer list on the right and see who is linking to me. Today’s cross linker is from Pete at Rasterweb. This fine gentleman listed me in the same category as Adam Curry, Dave Slusher, Dawn and Drew and Michael Geohegan. Cool! Or should I say, S-C-H-W-I-N-G. I think my total bandwidth […]

The other day I noticed that several of the podcasts to which I normally subscribe started having cover art visible when I played them in iTunes. I thought that would be fun, so I tried to figure out how I could do this. I could, of course, just load the mp3 file into iTunes and […]

Where your host shows his geekiness by generating a new intro for his podcast while demonstrating a simple digital signal processing trick he coded up in 30 minutes of goofing off this evening. Apologies to the BBC and to my listeners, but it’s a very short podcast.
