Today's Trade Secrets is about everything of importance to the world today.

The only thing we missed is Jon Stewart's outburst about the President's "group of folks" line. Group of folks? Group of folks?, Stewart raged. A group of folks is what you run into at the Olive Garden. The President was referring to Osama bin Laden and the group of worldwide terrorist... folks. Okay.

At no extra cost, a few little soliloquys, nothing earth shaking, just little ones.

And oh yea. Mt St Helens.

From the show notes, preserved on archive.org, written by Adam: "I've learned over the past weeks to always have the audio recording setup ready when Dave and I chat. We always talk voip and have been trying different setups and applications. But inadvertantly, one of will say "we should be recording this" and I flip the switch. This morning Dave was up early and we recorded a podcast, where we talked about 'leakage', played some prince and finally got the sip-phone stuff working"

Dave's notes on scripting.com: "In it Adam and I discuss the merits of Mac vs Windows. Now of course I'm getting (friendly) email from people suggesting that I get a Mac. I'll make a deal. If John Kerry wins I'll get a Mac."

"Today's Morning Coffee Notes explains the open source release of Frontier. Jeff Sandquist previewed the audio and said he had never understood what Frontier was before. It's good that this event which is probably one of the largest releases of open source code ever, may mean that more people appreciate this interesting and unique piece of software. Or it may be a time capsule, a message in a bottle, or a bridge to the future, and that would be fine too. One thing it's not is an attempt to boil the ocean, or a threat to your favorite scripting language, Web content system or HTTP server. Just trying to preserve a life's work of programming, so it doesn't end up lost or forgotten. Peace brother."

"I was interviewed today by a reporter on Yahoo's efforts in RSS. I gave them a pretty negative review. I didn't want to be misunderstood, so I did an audio recording of what I said to the reporter, so you can get an idea of the thinking behind the soundbites that may be in the news article."

A lot of technical information about email as an API.

In 2024 I am surprised at how much I knew about email back then! :-)

Not exactly sure where I recorded this, sounds like I was in the car, but by the end of the day I was at my destination, Seattle.

These were the good days, a new medium in its early stages of booting up, after years of trying to get it to go.

In the next few days, if I recall correctly, it'll really start going.

My studio is my Lexus RS-300. Good acoustics.

Recorded after listening to Adam's Daily Source Code.

"It seems to work," said your humble podcaster.

Toward the end I really sound like I'm high, but I wasn't.

I was just having a blast doing something new that was working.

I was driving on the Trans-Canada Highway in Saskatchewan, on a drive from NYC (I think) to Seattle, where I'd rent an apartment and stay through the election in November. If I recall correctly. 😀

Lots of random bits with very little premeditation.
