Finally! Got the podcast files to work!

March 26, 2005 By: MechMed Category: Podcasting

Spent the whole afternoon and evening trying to figure out why iPodder wouldn’t pull down my podcast files. It would get the audioblogs I posted thru AudioBlogger.
The issue was that the .mp3 filenames on the server can’t have spaces in them. Duh… I remember unix puts %20 in place of a space and that looks stupid.

So, I renamed the files and off it goes!!

Trying to get audioblog to work

I’ve been fucking with the audioblog feature of Blogger and can’t get the damn thing to post to the site.
I’m getting a headache from this.

The first posted podcast!

Here’s the very first podcast from our site. This is a short intro as to what to expect audiowise from the two of us.
The audio isn’t too bad considering I did this while driving to work in the morning.

New toys and info

March 12, 2005 By: MechMed Category: Blogging topics

Had some time yesterday to stop at CompUSA and look around. I picked up a Targus mini optical laptop mouse. This thing is handy. It’s looks like they took a regular mouse and ran it shrunk it. Fully functional but smaller. Plus, it’s got a cord retractor built in and the whole thing fits in it’s own carry case. I just toss it in the laptop bag and off I go.
I also saw some decent Sony headphones, MDR-V150′s for $20 and decided to skip them. Later in the day I was at Meijer and there they were, $5 cheaper so I picked them up. They are pretty comfortable, seem to built well with a nice heavy duty cord. They also isolate outside noise better than some of the small, lightweight headphones.
