DTV Beta 3

The folks at Participatory Culture just released DTV Beta 3, most likely because I just installed Beta 2. That’s ok, such is the upgrade cycle of life… (They even got a shorter url with dtvmac.com now as well.)

On the flipside, the latest beta releases of the Mac version of FireANT have also been very impressive. They’ve both got features that the other one is lacking. Competition is good, I think they’ll both find dedicated users.

(As far as licensing, DTV is open-source, released under the GPL, and FireANT is free right now, but may become commercial in the future.)

(Update: See comment from Josh below about FireANT.)

Podcasting in September 2004

One year ago this week marks a point in time when podcasting really started to take off, and when it got it’s “official” (still widely complained about) name…

What? You want to see what I had to say? Take a look at these messages: 52, 64, 82, 85, 144, 146, 149, 187, 201, 215, 211, 264, 282, 288, 322, and 339.

It seems like I was the “reluctant evangelist” suggesting that “we” or “someone” should work on evangelizing podcasting… Well, I’m an idea man, I can’t be expected to take action on all of my ideas! (Luckily others did…)

One more, the first mention of “podcasting” on the list (courtesy of Dannie J. Gregoire) one year ago today…

TrumpTone?

I found this to be disturbing…. I found a major error as well… From CNN: Hold the phone: Trump on your cell (via ringtonia):

“When Donald Trump’s voice is coming out of your cell phone, everyone around you will know you mean business,” Trump said in a statement to the paper.

I’m pretty sure what that should say is:

“When Donald Trump’s voice is coming out of your cell phone, everyone around you will know that you are a complete jackass doofus loser,” everyone said.

Doesn’t the second version sound better? I thought so…

I Heart 8 Bark

Doug Ward (of Fourth Rotor) is an old friend of mine, and I like the things he’s done…

I really wish I would have known that he released all of the 8 bark music on 8bark.org over two years ago (since I spent a lot of time digitizing my copy of Structurally Sound about 2 and 1/2 years ago) but that’s ok, I’m just glad he did it…

Sure, I may have to talk to him about applying a nice license to the recordings, but dammit Doug, you done a good thing! Thank you my friend…
