    • 2004-11-19 Week in Review Podcast

      Time for another brain dump. This time, I talk about the Pachyderm development process. listen in

      • Format of this podcast - not just barfing out links today - maybe next episode
      • Pachyderm development
        • Josh was in town for the week
        • VNC + Projector + couple of extra keyboards on USB
        • Spent much time on:
          • generation process
          • apollo integration
          • interface implementation - d2w
          • XCode really needs a “collaboration” mode - someone sets their XCode to be a “server” and other developers connect to it, and edit code (something like SubEthaEdit), and share a single project file. This would be much more efficient than just Subversion or CVS to sync changes
          • BBEdit 8 is really nice - and don’t forget to install the command line tools and set bbedit as the EDITOR so you can use it for Subversion or CVS commits instead of vi/emacs
          • EduPodcast Aggregator - could do the same thing in Bloglines, but this is more edutech-oriented
            • 8 hr 14 min

              • Podcast Links Episode 2 - Flickr

                I just did another quick podcast recording, this time talking about one of my favorite online tools: Flickr. I babble on about the Tags interface, and some cool stuff that happened via Flickr.

                Podcast is available here (or via the RSS feed for you podcatchers out there…)

              • First Attempt at a Podcast

                I just threw together a quick and dirty podcast using my iSight camera as a microphone, and a folder of flagged RSS posts as content. Talked for a few minutes about the links, and used Snapz Pro X 2.0 to record the works to disk. Extremely low production quality. Minimal content. Mostly done as an experiment to see if/how this all works. I may do

                more podcasts/audioblog entries (heck, it was kinda fun, once I stopped being so darned self conscious about my voice ;-) ). I’m sure the levels are goofy, and I’m sure I’m not close enough to the mic. Sorry in advance ;-)

                Grab the podcast here (or throw the RSS feed into iPodderX your podcasting app and get it automagically).
