1SRC Podcast SixtySix

[Alan G]

This week's show includes a lot of updates: Tech Talk is back, Yankees baseball, I AM a Treo user, three Palm related streaming events, and l a wrap up of some of this week's software updates. [details (http://www.1src.com/?m=show&id=1461)]

There's a missing close quote in the tag for the article. I am seeing this: ;)

Dmitry Grinberg's SharkLinks allows you to stick a website bookmark icon right in your Palm OS launcher

[Alan G]

Looks like there was something weird going on with those last two links. I've pulled them out of the show notes, and I'll list them here.

Alan you scared me the first few minutes of the podcast with "one of my kids was missing",lol. Great podcast as usual.

[Drunkard]

Get this when I try to open the forums page for the Tech Talk Podcast 42 at Grassnet.

phpBB : Critical Error

Could not connect to the database

Dang it, I want to download that Podcast!

Alan, would it be possible to put the actual MP3 links in your Podcast RSS feed so that I can just downlaod the MP3 files from there without going to the forums?

Anyways, thanks for your good work.

[Alan G]

You can download the Tech Talk podcasts using the RSS feed:

http://www.grassnet.net/podcast/gns_podcast.rss

Or, you can download Tech Talk 43 here (http://www.grassnet.net/podcast/techtalk043.mp3)

That phpBB critical error is because the server my domain is parted on is out of shared database connections. There is nothing I can do to fix that.

[Alan G]

Sorry Jimmie, didn't mean to scare you. LOL!

Thanks for the direct link, Alan.

I am using that rss feed, but what I am saying is the post title links point to the forums pages for each podcast, however if those links pointed straight to the MP3's then downloading the new podcast would be a snap. Most podcast feeds are like that as far as I can tell.

Just a suggestion. I have no idea how your syndicating your Tech Talk podcasts...

I'll see if I can't rework the feed to point directly to the file next week.

Alan, I'm way confused! You are a "Treo user" and a Clie cultist. Have you sought professional help? :D

Alan, I'm way confused! You are a "Treo user" and a Clie cultist. Have you sought professional help?

Variety is the spice of life! Actually, I consider myself a Palm OS cultist. And no, I haven't sought professional help. This is way too much fun.

Alan G

OH! Don't forget the Cult of the T3!!

[mauibro]

"Superlatives?"

[Dick Tracy]

Andy Fastow???

[smoothjordan]

I loved the way you introduced the podcast, it made me laugh out loud. Other than that, alright podcast. Wish there was more palm news :cool: How do you carry all your gadgets? My belt and pockets are full! Sharklinks sounds great. Thanks again

Ah...Right. Andy BROWN. Andy Brown = Good. Andy Fastow = Scum sucking corporate raider who deserves to rot in jail for screwing over his companies employees.

I'm sorry Mr. Brown.

[COmedic04]

And...I have a 320x480 version so you can all load it as your background on clie, palm, etc. Alan, I'll make a 320x320 version for your Treo if you'd like!! :D

[Alan G]

Sorry, I couldn't resist!! GO RED SOX!!

That's fine. I'm not a baseball wingnut.

Alan, I'll make a 320x320 version for your Treo if you'd like!!

Actually, I have a Treo 600. It's 160x160. :(

Alan,

About the mentioned editorial: "Stand by Your Clie" from Ed ?
Could it be I am missing that ?

I can not find it on the 1src site ...

[Alan G]

bout the mentioned editorial: "Stand by Your Clie" from Ed ?
Could it be I am missing that ?

Ed usually sends me the editorial a few hours before it gets posted. So, Reggie like me to discuss the editorial on the podcast. That said, by the time I'm done with the podcast, the editorial is usually up. For some reason, it's MIA this week.

"Where's the editorial? Where's the editorial?"(excited clie lover here :D)

Something good about clies is that it comes with MSbackup on board, which meens that your backup utility is still there after a hard reset.
The strange thing is that whenever I recover using hotsync, it always hangs, and terminates when it tries to recover my grafiti shortcuts. So I'd be forced to use MSbackup, and then up date the PIM data from hotsync everytime :(

Also, good to see the Tech Talk podcast back on air. (Which reminds me of the good old days of last summer, when there were 3 wonderful podcasts, 3 different hosts, weekly) Nice openning and ending music!

Ah, the good ol' days. There are still three podcasters: Tyler, myself, and don't forget Jim Mahon over a PalmOSC.com. This Week in Palm is also a good show. And Jim also does demos over at PalmCasts.com (He added video to my tutorial of Resco Backup - very cool. Check it out here (http://palmcasts.com/online/node). It's PalmCast #5.)

The only downside is that you folks are stuck with me for two shows instead of one.

[PDAJah]

Alan G - great podcast, thanks

[Iamaboff]

Nice Podcast. Take good care of your "kids" :D :D :D

[quasar]

The interview with Jeff Hawkins is missing from the website. Where can I find it?

[Alan G]

Q-

I just followed the link in the show notes over to the NPR website. I'm listening to the interview now. The red listen button has the first part of the interview - The portion that was "on air". The Listen to the entire interview link below the red listen button, has the rest of the interveiw that was not aired. Both links are working. You do need to have Real Player or Windows Media Player to listen to the audio.

Spoiler warning - I've listened to said "Mobile Minute" segment and there is a brief mention of "Sharks" (Not the Tyler kind). But, it was mostly by Josh Curry. :)

The 1SRC editorial still hasn't shown up on the site. Does anyone know why? Alan, could you please paste in your copy of it here?

[Alan G]

Q-

I've been in touch with Ed. He and Reggie decided to hold it back by one week. This appears to have happened after I was sent my copy of the editorial for discussion in the podcast. If it is not posted by Thursday morning, I'll go ahead and drop a copy in this thread.
