Welcome, welcome, welcome,
welcome, welcome everybody.
Hey, is that your program? That’s your folder bits? That’s my little folder bits there.
Cool.
Hey everybody, it’s Dave Weiner and Adam Curry here.
Adam, where are you right now? I’m right next to Dave Weiner.
Where? What city? We’re in, well, I’m not allowed to say– Don’t make the mistake again.
No, we’re in South Beach.
We’re in South Beach.
We’re in South Beach.
I’m not allowed to say meah.
Meah.
South Beach, FLA.
Where are we? In Dave’s room, because he has after you bitched in Mone for three days, you finally got like a break for the executive fucking show.
I got the fucking tits here.
No, we were happy you got it.
And we’re like– Best room in the fucking party.
Please give Dave a fucking better– Oh, we got a great view.
I should go get my camera right now.
Take a picture for the folks back home.
Can I queue up a song? You can do whatever the fuck you want.
OK, hold on a second.
This is dorm room.
This is trade secrets dorm room .
Dorm room style.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
OK, let’s see.
Let’s try this one.
[MUSIC PLAYING] Hello, everybody.
[MUSIC PLAYING] I have a little tune for you here.
I dedicate this song to you, my dear old ex.
The loser I was fortunate to lose.
For sometimes, still your memory blows on ill.
When back to me.
And just one little sniff gives me these doo doo blues.
The doo doo blues.
Metal muffins in the moonlight.
Donkey droppings kissed by dew.
Prairie pucks out on the pasture.
These reminded me of you.
Lizard lumplets in Laredo.
Doggy dumplings on my shoe.
Grizzly grunties in the glo aming.
These remind me of you.
When you dumped on my heart.
You thought you’d soiled my psyche forever.
But I’m wiping it off.
We’ve got a great movie to go to this music mass.
Really? Yeah.
I think it’ll be just fine.
[MUSIC PLAYING] We’re going to keep this– I have other songs.
[INTERPOSING VOICES] Are we going to upload the– right now? So what is the microphone on this? Is it this little– this little no, no, no.
The microphone’s behind the computer.
Oh.
Do you see it back there? It looks like a little penis.
No, no.
No, it looks like a little butt plug before it looks like.
Oh, it’s a butt plug.
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
Can I– yeah, let me take that.
That’s exactly where the pickup is.
Right.
Of course.
That’s exactly why I shouldn’t have touched it.
Really? This is a Sony? It’s my first Sony butt plug.
It was cool about it.
I’ve never seen this microphone .
It’s a conference room omnidire ctional.
It’s the way it is.
So you stick it in the middle of a conference room table.
And you get a group– that was the microphone we used for the Burton Thursday Night meetings.
So I plopped that down in the middle of the room, and that was what we used to– one cow.
Does that kind of pick up you very well from over there? It probably will actually– they’ll be able to hear me, but I’ll be like drowned out by the music, given that it’s on exactly the same tabletop as the speakers are.
Yeah, okay.
Should I turn off the music? Maybe we should, like, move the speakers onto the floor.
Okay, allow me.
[music] Okay, this is sort of like the late evening, except the tone.
Oh, there’s my phone.
[phone ringing] What a nuisance.
I think it’s Phil Windley.
Oh.
Phil Windley to the show.
Hello.
I knew it was you, Phil.
I just wanted to say we’re doing a podcast right now, a trade secrets podcast, but if you don’t mind, we can have our conversation with the podcast going, or I could go in the other room.
[music] Well, my day is– Good for the fight of luck.
Yeah, let’s talk right now.
I don’t think you’re going to be able to hear me.
Right on.
Yeah, I’m just going to say this right now.
Right on.
So how are you doing, Phil? I’ll play a song.
I’m great.
Another song for you.
Pardon me? Having class, yeah.
It’s a great little scene.
I love Cuban food, and I didn’t even know that.
And I’m here with– Yeah, but we’re really good friends, and we’re talking about the stuff I love, so, you know, what could be better, you know? [burps] Excuse me.
Right? Yeah, my having is nice.
Let’s see.
What can we play here? [mimics music] Really nice.
[mimics music] [mimics music] [mimics music] [mimics music] [mimics music] [mimics music] [mimics music] Well, what are you trying to do ? What’s the goal? We should talk– Are we back on the air? Yeah, we’re on the air.
Hey, we’re on the air.
Maybe we should talk a little bit to the people.
What do you think? Yeah.
Well, hold on a second.
We have someone on the phone here.
Man, it takes you a few tries before you get this right, but this is like the sixth time I’ve started this audio thing.
I freaked you out, didn’t I? What is it? It’s an audio comment.
I just played it like someone went on the phone.
Just freaked you out.
Clearly it worked.
Is that it? Like they were talking to me.
Is that what he says? Adam, this is Jim Christian up in London.
This is what you know about the new podcast I’m doing called the Positive Things podcast, available from www.
What? You don’t want to let him give you the URL? Oh, yeah, not give me the URL, but it was positing. net.
So that’s how you do it? Oh, this is a secret.
Yeah, I’m showing you my secrets.
Is this not trade secrets? Hold on.
Or I show you secrets of the trade.
Does that mean you can get my butt over there? Secrets of the trade? I don’t– I mean, this is really low on volume.
Is that okay? But where’s the microphone? Oh, here? Where you put the plug? Where’s the microphone? It’s over there.
Well, it’s better than below.
Well, then let’s move it towards us.
Let’s move it towards us.
As I was saying before, let’s see, we’re what? Six minutes into this right now .
Wow.
We have room on the disk for 52 hours, 11 minutes and four seconds.
You think we should make some coffee? You think we could fit it all in? I don’t know.
I also took a movie.
Yeah.
Oh, you did a movie? I thought you were just taking pictures.
No, let me set it to milieu.
Okay, so yeah, I took a movie.
Out the window.
It’s like right now it’s 5. 30 p . m. eastern time and the sun is kind of going down.
Our window here faces east, so we won’t actually see the sunset, but we will see it reflected.
It’s a lot like the building across the way from us.
And I just took a movie of people on the street out in front of Collins Avenue, which is where the hotel is.
And so anyway, we’re sitting up here in my very luxurious, beautiful suite.
It’s the one they keep in reserve for that one guy is going to keep moaning and bitch ing for better.
Well, I tip the dive rather nicely actually.
I gave him 20 bucks.
And of course, there’s going to be somebody on the internet who points out that Dave would have to be a millionaire in order to be able to tip the guy 20 bucks.
Well, you know, George Bush did send $10,000 of his own money for tsunami relief.
There you go.
It’s only the richest family in the United States.
Well, and you know, I’m doing my part.
20 bucks.
And unfortunately the guys, well fortunately, I should say his family was not included as far as I know in any tsunami.
So, all right, having set the stage and explained myself, which I probably will have to do many more times during this podcast.
I’m looking at what is this a power book, a titanium power book? I think, I don’t know if it’s actually titanium.
What are you doing with that piece of paper there? I’m rolling up the smallest, thinnest, spliffage I can.
Can I have a picture? Yeah, of course.
Okay, let’s get the paper.
By the way, I need to tell the folks at home a little story in case you’re listening.
I was at the, you really want me to take a picture of this? Oh, like no one knows about this, right? Well, you know, oh, I’m taking a movie actually.
Oh, no, not a movie.
Dave’s not here, man.
Dave’s not here.
Wow, talking about bad hair.
Oh, it’s gone.
Thank you.
You’re gonna like that one.
Probably not.
No, anyway, I don’t think you should, like they, I think Customs listens to Daily Source code.
Yeah.
Yeah, so I think they’re flag ged your passport, dude.
I don’t think they’ll be carried.
Okay, you can take it out with you, but I wouldn’t be coming back to the US anytime soon.
You know, but whenever Nick Jag ger or one of those guys, whenever they get caught, you know, it’s like, it’s a big news release and he’s in jail for three hours.
Well, now I get to say what Lloyd Benson said, that I knew Nick Jagger.
Nick Jagger was a friend of mine.
And what? I’m gonna tell you.
You are Nick Jagger.
Although walking down the street without, without a curry .
For a ball.
It was everybody.
And here in Miami, Miami.
Miami.
I’m sorry, I don’t go for the Southeast shit.
I think we’re in Miami.
No, we’re no home.
Listen, I wouldn’t walk around this place.
I wouldn’t walk around.
I went for my daily walk listening to you, by the way.
The daily source code.
The one where Madge promises to sit on your face.
Oh, I’m still waiting.
It’s really hot.
It’s really fucking hot.
Oh, right.
Anyway, and just being the weather outside was pretty hot too.
And I was walking around and there were some dumps around here.
I’m gonna tell you this is not, you know, it’s glamorous and it ’s, you know, it probably looked really good in the 50s, but there’s a lot of run down shit going on around here.
But that’s what this is about here, the South Beach area.
This is where all, when it’s winter in New York, this is where all the models and it’s just, it’s warm.
They got to keep their tans, you know, going.
They got a roller blade here.
This is where they come.
They rent the cheap apartment.
They rent the cheap apartment.
On 11th Street and Pound.
But there is quite a, there’s a big fashion industry here that people of course will eat shit for to get into or there’s movies.
There’s a movie industry.
Yeah, we saw a movie in production actually, didn’t we? Yeah.
It’s a pretty amazing place here.
It’s nice.
I feel like really hot weather.
It’s a really nice place to be.
I mean, here we are, what is it ? January 7th or something? Yeah.
So, yeah.
Anyway, so I’m looking at Adam ’s setup here.
He has something that looks a lot like iTunes, but I guess this is what a Mac looks like, right? How long has it been since you ’ve seen a Mac? It’s been a while.
Obviously.
This is what it looks like.
iTunes.
It’s got the.
No, it’s just a folder.
It’s just a.
Yeah.
I know.
It’s just a folder, right? What’s folder again? Sorry.
So I bumped into these guys on the street as I was doing my podcast today.
And it was great because they were selling their own CD.
And I heard the story, by the way.
You already heard the story? Yeah.
Okay.
You want to hear some of the music? Oh, this is.
Okay.
You have to give the intro because they won’t.
People at home won’t know what you’re talking about.
Right.
So, well, I bought it.
Anybody can actually hear it.
Why not? I don’t know.
The graph is jumping.
Yeah, it’s.
The mic is right there.
Yeah.
So it looks like two again.
Like a buck plug.
Okay.
Thanks.
Now, when you’re driving in your car, do you have that? Use this microphone? No, I don’t use that microphone .
You use the headset microphone? I use the headset.
So you look like an alien while you’re driving with a headset? No, I look like the pilot.
I’m driving my pod.
My theory actually, you know what? When I got that car in 1999, right? It looks good for a 99.
It’s cherry actually.
Look at it.
It’s got almost 50,000 miles on it.
It’s not exactly a brand new car anymore.
And so, so in 1999, which I think was before the iPod came out, was it? Oh, yeah.
Well, I got to let you know, I called that car my pod.
Okay.
I’m not kidding you.
And you know what my wrap was? I said, basically, everybody should be issued one of these at birth.
Here’s your pod.
Here’s your pod.
And good luck and have a great life.
You know, it’s like a human being should have a pod.
And this seemed to me to be the .
Perfect pod.
I mean, I don’t know if I’m going to get it.

He said he could tell that I was holding the camera and looking through the monitor and not through the lens.
He was seeking to tell me, “He ’s true. " I’m always shooting like that.
The problem is, I have a bad spot in my eye.
If I look through the lens, I actually don’t see anything.
But this is direct output.
Oh, absolutely.
But what he says is that if you do it this way, you get a blurry picture.
But I have a secret for that.
Watch what I’m doing now.
You’re taking a whole bunch of pictures.
And the computer in here knows which one’s the best.
Really? He knows which one is the best.
This camera does that? Does it discard the old ones? Or does it give you an obstacle ? The bad ones.
It keeps the best one.
And Dave Winer, what camera is this? This is an icon cool, it’s 3200 .
This, my friend, this is… Let me position this for you.
We were talking about positioning.
This is the brownie for the 21 st century.
The brownie? Did you know about brownie cameras? Brownie? Brownie.
You’re too young.
Please.
Can I sit on your knee? Tell me the story.
Shut up.
I’m so full-climbed.
The brownie was the thing that you got for Christmas.
I think my mom had one.
Christmas 1957.
And it came in a brown leather carrying case with a strap.
I don’t even think they were brown by the time I came around .
They were these square cameras that had flash attachments on them.
And they cost like, you know, 20 bucks.
And they made them in the millions.
Everybody had them.
And it was the thing that made photography become… So it was sort of like the Model T.
Was that a Kodak product? I don’t know.
We can look it up.
Obviously we’ve listened to it up on the web.
But I don’t know if it was Kod ak.
I think that it was generic.
I think everybody had made brownies, basically.
And so this thing goes for about 250 bucks, which probably is about the equivalent price today.
You know, adjusted for inflation.
Right? Yeah, there you go.
The brownie camera.
Right.
And for the thing that makes this like a brownie, is you turn the fucker on and you point at something and you click the shutter and it takes a great picture.
It just works.
So this is like a camera that everybody can use.
And I’ve tried a lot of them.
I think that would be the brown ie of the 21st century.
These are brownies? Yeah, that’s the one.
Oh, because that’s really the box camera is what I call it.
Well, the one above you call a box camera.
But the one below, maybe, I can ’t see it that well.
It’s a little far away.
List in description.
Go back to Google and click the images link.
The picture is the most useful thing here, I think.
Yeah, those are old brownies.
That’s probably getting close to what you said.
They had brownies like in the one with the pop out.
That’s kind of cool.
That’s wailed.
Yeah.
They had brownies like in the 20s and the teens and stuff like that, of course.
I wasn’t born until 1955.
This is the one here.
This is the brownie like plastic shell.
Those came out when I was a kid .
So when you were a kid, what kind of cameras did your parents have? My dad was a super eight millimeter guy.
And we lived in Uganda for three years.
You did? Yeah.
You lived in Uganda? Yeah.
And Abote was still president.
Was he the enemy? Just before we left when the tanks came rolling in.
That’s when good timing.
Well, yes, it was everybody.
I remember a lot because we, you know, we lived in this hum ongous house.
I remember a lot of things.
Just a little child memories.
But anyway, we have at least a hundred spliced together roles, like big roles of eight millimeter super eight home movies.
Yeah.
And one day I keep promising myself, right? One day.
So anyway, the director and back, there’s your list of that ’s your iPod of directory right there.
Look how many are managed by someone else.
Yeah.
You have business, comedy and humor.
How can we explain that to people? I mean, it is such a cool thing .
But I think so few people really understand.
I like what Doug Katie with it with it.
I think I can conversation.
You built that as a whole tree.
Yeah.
You got a little free time.
Kind of gets OP about it.
Yes.
Doug Doug.
It’s sort of like you can build your own trade show booth.
It’s like a trade show and everybody gets to build their own booth.
Right.
You can make it as big as you want.
We don’t charge you anymore.
Exactly.
So exactly.
Exactly.
So what I did is like I wrote this software or the script and put it that way and here’s scan iPod of directory.
So now it’s going to go through this.
Actually, it sucks in a new fresh copy.
Interesting.
Oh, it does OP that go down stuff like that.
No.
It compiles the XML.
Yeah.
Exactly.
That’s faster.
Yeah.
So now it’s already found a new URL.
So it’s putting that into a new URL bin.
But this is I asked you about the positive here.
The it is the positive thing podcast.
So that’s already in the directory.
So that’s going to pop up in a second is new.
So you found a new one.
Yeah.
It found a new one.
So it’s trying to pull in the R SS to validate the feed, which it may not do.
If it can’t validate how does it validate the feed by just compiling by compiling.
Oh, you should shoot it over to we should make possible for you should to shoot it over to the debugger, the debugger and let it do a little more detail.
Well, here’s what I’m doing.
The way I put it is if your feed is not right, then the directory scanner is going to skip you this time.
Right.
We can put a better test in there for you.
Okay.
So the XML is not enough to say that it’s a feed.
Right.
Because it could be on a format .
It could be well, XML and actually the the compiler that I’m doing on the XML safeguards me against a lot of that.
You probably you probably caught a lot of problems that way.
People who make honest mistakes and they point to an HTML file and you know, it’s unfortunate they made a mistake, but you sort of you don’t want to add their mistake to your world.
What I think is happening right now is I think our connectivity just out there goes.
See now here you go.
So it’s traversing the entire file.
And it’s good.
And so it’s also now it’s connected to it conversations.
com.
So it’s going to traverse the IT conversations, OPML file.
That’s excellent.
Yeah, but our cartilities fucking sucks again.
So you know, it’s sitting there .
I don’t think it conversations.
Hey, well, this is really the I ’m only up to like Tuesday, the daily source code.
So how is your kind of duty in your project? I’m glad you asked.
I don’t know 100% for sure, but I have all the technical I mean , I’m in the technical email loop, you know, so they give you this is a business broadband.
It’s not a consumer broadband.
And so it’s kind of like they’d be sending these messages to the to the IT manager of the Curry Corporation in Guil ford.
Make sure it goes to the right place.
You don’t want to think any chance.
Of course, you want the CEO of the current corporations to see that.
So basically, you know, I can plug in the router.
It will work and they noticed that I hadn’t.
I was like, let me notice that and they called up.
So they can see the router over there.
Yeah, well, I see the router that is not connected because the router is still in the box because I would have to instruct Christina or Patricia.
Now, I don’t know what the router looks like in my head.
So maybe we could get a script ing newsletter over your house instead of installing.
I mean, well, you’re going to be back when on Sunday.
Yeah, whatever.
You have a long flight.
So you’re going to get that great upgrade going back the other way.
I don’t know.
You know, that’s the dream upgrade.
Everybody wants that.
And of course, that’s the sleep over flight when you really want to.
You wanted that one.
Well, I got it coming here, but that was like a day flight.
Right.
So I’ll leave it.
It’s the other way.
Yeah, where you want to.
You can’t avoid the sleepover.
No.
The nine hour flight.
No, it’s going to be less.
It’s nine hours coming over.
It’s not just tailwind.
It’s different route.
We had a tailwind actually in the silt of nine hours.
They just left later.
Interesting.
Yeah.
That’s like, you know, it wasn ’t such a coincidence that we landed here at the same time.
I knew when your flight was coming in.
I didn’t really know about a kind of new sort of like I had a feeling when it was coming in .
I actually thought I was coming in later, but okay, see there it goes.
A connectivity here is blowing, but then okay, so let me just explain.
That was so bad because it’s not dying.
Well, that’s what I’m worried about.
Oh, that would just run.
And so what this does is when it finds new podcasts, it’s going to open up an outline for me.
It’s going to put the new podcast in, but those podcasts have already been posted on iP odder. org through XMLRPC.
Really? Already now? No, you’ll see.
It’s going to pop open an outline.
Automatically.
Yeah, it’s going to pop open an outline.
It’s going to say, hear the new podcast and the outlines already with the link in them so I can copy and paste it into the text.
But is a new one for everyone or do you like, do you put only one new post on iPodder. org? You put one for everyone? One for every new, yeah, because sometimes people have a nice long description in their RSS feed.
That shows up.
So I’m pulling all that in.
So I’m basically linking to your homepage or your URL.
People feel good about that.
They immediately on arrival get a place.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And do they flame you for that, by the way? Who? Everybody.
Flame me for what? For doing that.
For doing what? For being on it.
Oh, yeah, of course.
People love flaming nice things .
Nice guys lose, Dave.
That’s what I’m saying.
You don’t know that? They’re losers.
Look, here it comes.
You see? Here it’s open.
Yeah, what is that? So these are the new, what’s new? These were found.
Well, this isn’t, this is just my workspace, what’s new.
Right.
I can then paste them in wherever I want because I also maintain nodes.
I don’t know where the shit’s coming from.
So usually what I do, it’s still processing, right? So it’s still going through everything.
So I go over, this is cute.
Firefox looks like shit.
Yeah, I think this room has a virus.
Oh, here we go.
My computer over there, totally disconnected from this one.
There you go.
New podcast.
As of right now.
Yeah, see? Here they are.
222 PM.
Let’s see.
This is just pulling in the description.
242, but it’s not 242.
This is 5W.
Yeah, this server is on.
You know what? Should I move all the servers back to East Coast? East Coast this time.
Because I’m not planning to go back to the West Coast anymore.
That’s it.
It’s over.
Yeah.
At some point I’m going to do that.
I’ve been wondering when the right time to do that is.
Oh, the stinking podcast.
It’s like when I was a kid, we ’d go bowling and my mother, I would make a mistake in scoring the game and my mother would say sometimes, “Well, you know, maybe that’s what you’ll bowl. " So, you know, it’s like, don’t change it.
Maybe you’ll get three strikes in a row, you know, whatever.
So, maybe I’ll end up back on the West Coast.
I figure I need to give this a little burden.
But then everything that I post today gets pushed down.
What kind of pissed about that? No comments on.
Excuse me.
You posted really early.
I haven’t run my scan.
You had your time.
You’re right.
No comments.
You’re right.
Wonderful post.
Well, read it out loud.
Okay.
This guy explains what podcast ing is.
And frankly, I thought this was one of the most pithy descriptions that I’ve ever heard.
Okay, but why would anyone comment? I mean, you’re sending people off to read his thing, right? I know.
They didn’t really want to read it.
Podcasting shows once again how a commercial technology invented for a specific purpose , in this case, the digital music player, which reads its pinn acle in the Apple iPod, can be creatively repurposed to more democratic ends by independent software developers , that’s us, using open technologies like RSS and XML.
Thank you.
Thank you, by the way, for noticing.
And fuck you.
I’m talking to the guy who wrote that.
It was a perfect opportunity to stir things up.
Yeah.
He’s calling right now.
Hello.
Hey, Ron Bloom.
We’re doing a podcast right now , believe it or not.
Is there anything you’d like to say to the people? I don’t think I’ll pass that one on.
Oh, boy.
It was a little race.
I don’t want to know.
I, yeah, appodulate.
Oh, Ron’s feeling better.
P-O-D-U-L, the number eight, because that would be the official way to do that, right? Podge.
So why don’t you come up? Why don’t you come on up? Oh, you’re on the third floor, aren’t you? Why don’t you pop on over and say hi to the people with your own voice? All right, we’ll see you soon.
Cool.
Ron Bloom, everybody.
Ron is ready to do a podcast.
You know how I know? How? He says, “Hey, everybody. " No, really? No.
I mean, yeah, but it was pretty good.
I had you go in there for a second, didn’t I? Shut up, man.
Yeah.
We’re having this at the College Doorman podcast.
The great sequence.
So play some music for the people.
Right on, baby.
Can I just, can I choose? Can I be like, I got music from the guy that I met on the street.
Of course.
It’s up to you, baby.
Here’s the song, “Half Dead N iggas. " Well, you’re likely to get in trouble for that one.
They gave me this.
It bought the CD off him.
Yeah, but no, no, he’s not going to get you in trouble.
Somebody who doesn’t like the word “cunt” is going to get you in trouble.
Okay.
Let’s not play that.
Cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt.
Let’s see.
They did a song with– The whole world is mad.
Wow.
This is– What’s kind of scary? This is these guys with Angie Stone.
I don’t like it.
Where are some people? Oh, here we go again.
There’s a car.
I’m looking for people.
How about someone from the ’60s , Dave? Yeah, I like, you know, the ‘60 s.
You know what, let’s play the– Does Adam have it in his iTunes game? Go.
’60s, ’70s, ’80s.
Oh, you’re asking me? Yeah.
No, I’m waiting for the listeners to call in.
I could call you on your cell phone and play a listener.
’60s, ’70s, ’80s.
And you know what, you can like , pretend that– No.
’60s, ’70s.
Just anything.
What can they get some– “Harm of Chameleon” by Boy George.
No, I can guarantee you almost.
You don’t have that one.
Name a song from the ’60s or ' 70s.
Let’s see if I have it in my iTunes.
From the ’60s or ’70s? Yeah.
And that you don’t mind getting sued over a play.
But it’ll be low-res.
Yeah, it’ll be low-res.
It’ll be low-res.
You know what I say? No-res like low-res.
You know what we play? Have a seat.
You know what we play like, like, “Few Barbless,” you know? Yeah, exactly.
You guys know fun.
I’ll just play some shit.
Play some stuff.
Yeah.
So this is how we do it, Ron.
This is it.
This is the magic.
This is the magic.
This is the podcast, man.
The podcast environment.
This is it.
This is the mic.
This is the dorm room.
The podcast situation.
That was either a microphone.
Or a butt plug.
We’ve been through that.
Small, utilitarian stimulation device.
What’s the time on the thing there? 31 minutes.
31.
So we should go like another five minutes? Yeah, not too much longer.
Okay, then I’ll have to play.
[music] In my white room.
White room.
Bring it on.
Listen to how bad this empty tree is.
It’s like completely compressed .
[music] In my white room.
With my cutlets.
In the station.
[music] Oh, no.
We’ve got to play this Friday.
[music] Oh, that’s the way you’ve got to play.
[music] I smoke two joints before I smoke two joints.
And then I smoke two more.
I don’t have that.
Dead, dead, gun-fly in the middle of the road? I have that.
I like Friday on my mind.
That was good.
Play that.
And while you’re doing that, I ’ll get you.
I smoke two joints.
Okay.
Mellow yellow? Well, that’s actually some more .
See you hear me? Mellow yellow? Donovan? Yeah.
I bet you I had Donovan.
They call it Mellow Yellow.
Oh, fuck.
Of course I don’t.
Do you have some other stuff from the Mellow category? Music.
Donovan, probably have the universal soldier.
Oh, that’s a sucky song.
That’s horrible.
Yeah.
That’s like being compressed.
So who is it? Was that Peter Todd? What’s going on? What’s up? Bob Marley.
I’ve legalized it.
That’s a good one.
What’s going down? What was that one? Oh.
That one’s probably still.
What’s that sound? Two eight.
Everybody look at that.
What’s going round? Stop, baby.
What’s the sound? That one’s still, right? No, no, no, no.
That was… Wait, let’s sing it now.
Stop, hey.
What’s that sound? Everybody look.
What’s going down? That didn’t work.
It didn’t get it.
Yeah, but who the fuck was that ? This was you.
You know, you really have to play.
Okay.
Sly.
And the family’s done? Oh, yeah.
Because that shit rocks.
This is a good time to watch Google Desktop search, though.
I don’t have Sly.
Oh, man.
You believe that shit? I believe in everything.
That’s stupid.
I feel bad.
Do not have any Sly.
Blood sweat and tears.
I might have blood sweat and tears.
Without Cooper.
Some blood sweat and tears for you, everybody.
Can you name it? That is… You make yourself incredibly happy.
That’s… You see the stumpy? I’m very good at this.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
I can’t stump you.
Oh! Sorry.
No, the conflict has been thrown.
Thanks a lot.
No, but it’s a good game.
Yeah, hold on.
You gotta like play… Okay.
I know it.
You can’t have the… No, no, no.
Wow, I thought you were ready, but you weren’t.
It’s the same note.
Play it.
I give up.
Wild thing.
Wild thing.
Yeah, wild thing.
So, the version of hanging on to sleep was weird today.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It was the third.
It was… Okay, yeah, but this one.
I’m sorry.
That was wild thing.
I think you need a buddy.
The deer? Oh, shit.
You know it.
We need some more of that.
Okay.
I was close, yeah.
No.
Oh, come on! Come on! He’s got a humongous cock.
Tom Jones, Green Green Grass at Home.
This is from like your era.
That is an oldie.
Thanks a lot.
They’re talking to you about brownie cameras, right? Yeah, because you’re wearing brownie cameras.
Oh, yeah? He’s also a nice one.
They’re good about reputation.
You know this? Tim Hardin? How can we hang on to a dream? Wild thing.
Now, didn’t you plan some stacks records wrong? Yeah, not that.
Oh, I told my source code listeners about The Princess.
I’m going to put you in the jo ys, because that’s how this one has to end.
Yeah.
Okay, but you don’t have it.
I do.
I’m going to put it in the joys .
Okay.
Well, this is totally the dorm room version, because I think we communicated nothing.
Yeah.
Now we talked about the directory. That was good.
Well, it wasn’t about communicating shit.
True.
It was more about ambiance.
This is Robinson.
And Dave Warner.
I’m a cowboy.
Hiya! Welcome everybody! This is the fucking Madge! Listen to, guess the song contest.
Alright! Alright! Ron Bloom! I got one.
Man, Ron Bloom! Nice Jewish boy from Atlanta.
What song is this? I don’t know yet.
No lo se.
I think I fell asleep before I heard it.
Oh, you made ya, Tom! Oh, that doesn’t count, I guess .
So, you get the actual… Oh, we were around.
Nope.
Shit.
Oh, wow! Wow, I haven’t heard that beat.
That’s got to be way more sensitive.
That one dies.
That one officially has never been played.
I got some good… Okay.
Do I yell at you? Yeah.
No, Skype it to me.
Hold on.
Let me… log on so everyone can immediately start sending me authorization requests.
You can send me the song.
Is this stereo, right? Yep.
Oh, no, the mic.
The mic? It’s a conference room.
Okay.
I’m up.
I don’t see you.

Why don’t I upload it to my gems folder? Oh, there we go.
Okay.
Hey, everybody.
Alright, send me… the file.
Send me a shrubbery.
Okay, here’s another one we’re waiting for that.
Wait a minute.
How do you get to that? Hey, you said the file.
Man, I’m missing heavy.
How? There’s a send file button.
Where are? On Skype.
You’re not enabled, my friend.
You’re still grayed out.
I feel enabled.
I see you.
First you have to get validated before you can feel enabled.
You see the message? You need Dr. Phil.
Hold on.
I’m going to send you the file.
You just click on me.
I heard something.
I heard something.
Oh, there we go.
Hold on.
Alright, good.
You can stop now.
Alright, so now I just drag your fucking file on there, hey .
I don’t know.
Is that how you do it? Does he normally do it? It’s Bob Marley.
Okay, there’s a send file option though.
You can only send files to people who have authorized you.
You’re authorized.
You need to authorize me.
You’re authorized.
How do I authorize you? I got the same fucking message again.
How do I authorize you? I guess, time you could have sn ickered it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, this is so fucking… Don’t go away.
Don’t go away.
Request authorized.
I’m going to upload it to a server.
Wait, here.
Request authorized.
Who are you to order a sheet? Request authorization from me.
I have to request authorization .
Yeah, just do it.
How do I do it? Under contact.
Put your cursor on me.
I didn’t make it.
I didn’t make the fucking program.
This is so fucking humiliating.
It is.
Oh, wow.
How do I do it? Now we got that one.
Can’t rule that one out.
We can’t rule that one out.
I’m not a fucking fan of this.
I’m not a fan of this.
I’m not a fan of this.
I’m not a fan of this.
I’m not a fan of this.
I’m not a fan of this.
I’m not a fan of this.
I’m not a fan of this.
I’m not a fan of this.
I’m not a fan of this.
I’m not a fan of this.
I’m not a fan of this.
I’m not a fan of this.

I can’t even have a fucking name.
I lost it now.
I thought we were going to crack the road.
I’m Ula Rana from the Love Guy.
I’m Ula Rana from the Love Guy.
I’m Ula Rana from the Love Guy.
Yeah, Elvin Bishop.
Actually, Mickey Thomas sang it .

Yeah, Elvin Bishop.
Actually, Mickey Thomas sang it .
I’m Ula Rana from the Love Guy.
Yeah, Elvin Bishop.
Yeah, yeah.
Dutch guys.
Yeah, Abba.
Abba, they’re not Dutch.
Chief Trigg.
Chief Trigg is not Dutch.
Wait, what’s the fucking name of the song? Red Arlo.
Yeah, Ramloom.
Red Arlo.
Golden Earring.
By the way, I have the right to play this song, by the way.
Bill and Fokota gave me the right.
Anything he owns, I can play on my show.
Another radar level is gone.
I’ve been driving all night.
My hands went on the wheel.
No, we don’t want to play that.
That was good. I love that.
I don’t know what it is.
This was a very important record.
This was the first record where rock and rap came together.
Erich Midden.
Right, D&C.
School D&W with McGill and Gou ge.
We’re talking and saying… It’s the album version, of course.
So, Dave? This century? We have the URL.
That was a live version of Scarborough Hill.
Forever? Yeah, by Simon Bartholme.
Where do I find it? It opened up your Skype messaging window.
Shmucko.
Or go to… Got it.
This is the penultimate Friday afternoon, Friday evening, 6 o’clock knockoff work song.
That’s all.
What’s that song? Why don’t we get Drunken Screw ed? That’s the best one.
This is pretty much that song.
Most excellent.
Okay, we’re sucking it in from Dallas.
Bob Barkley, everybody.
[music] You know, I always thought it would hit me.
[music] Alright.
Actually, that was the song that they played on K-Fog every Friday night.
That was the… They got away with it, too.
So, will you turn off your polar bits? No, polar bits.
Well, let’s say goodbye, everybody.
Goodbye, everybody.
See you all real soon.
Maybe we’ll do another trade secret before the end of the year.
You know.
To keep up with our schedule.
Check out the website because we’re going to have some movies for you.
Okay, everybody? Okay, Ron.
You want to say goodbye? See you later.
[music] [music] [MUSIC]
Hey, is that your program? That’s your folder bits? That’s my little folder bits there.
Cool.
Hey everybody, it’s Dave Weiner and Adam Curry here.
Adam, where are you right now? I’m right next to Dave Weiner.
Where? What city? We’re in, well, I’m not allowed to say– Don’t make the mistake again.
No, we’re in South Beach.
We’re in South Beach.
We’re in South Beach.
I’m not allowed to say meah.
Meah.
South Beach, FLA.
Where are we? In Dave’s room, because he has after you bitched in Mone for three days, you finally got like a break for the executive fucking show.
I got the fucking tits here.
No, we were happy you got it.
And we’re like– Best room in the fucking party.
Please give Dave a fucking better– Oh, we got a great view.
I should go get my camera right now.
Take a picture for the folks back home.
Can I queue up a song? You can do whatever the fuck you want.
OK, hold on a second.
This is dorm room.
This is trade secrets dorm room .
Dorm room style.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
OK, let’s see.
Let’s try this one.
[MUSIC PLAYING] Hello, everybody.
[MUSIC PLAYING] I have a little tune for you here.
I dedicate this song to you, my dear old ex.
The loser I was fortunate to lose.
For sometimes, still your memory blows on ill.
When back to me.
And just one little sniff gives me these doo doo blues.
The doo doo blues.
Metal muffins in the moonlight.
Donkey droppings kissed by dew.
Prairie pucks out on the pasture.
These reminded me of you.
Lizard lumplets in Laredo.
Doggy dumplings on my shoe.
Grizzly grunties in the glo aming.
These remind me of you.
When you dumped on my heart.
You thought you’d soiled my psyche forever.
But I’m wiping it off.
We’ve got a great movie to go to this music mass.
Really? Yeah.
I think it’ll be just fine.
[MUSIC PLAYING] We’re going to keep this– I have other songs.
[INTERPOSING VOICES] Are we going to upload the– right now? So what is the microphone on this? Is it this little– this little no, no, no.
The microphone’s behind the computer.
Oh.
Do you see it back there? It looks like a little penis.
No, no.
No, it looks like a little butt plug before it looks like.
Oh, it’s a butt plug.
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
Can I– yeah, let me take that.
That’s exactly where the pickup is.
Right.
Of course.
That’s exactly why I shouldn’t have touched it.
Really? This is a Sony? It’s my first Sony butt plug.
It was cool about it.
I’ve never seen this microphone .
It’s a conference room omnidire ctional.
It’s the way it is.
So you stick it in the middle of a conference room table.
And you get a group– that was the microphone we used for the Burton Thursday Night meetings.
So I plopped that down in the middle of the room, and that was what we used to– one cow.
Does that kind of pick up you very well from over there? It probably will actually– they’ll be able to hear me, but I’ll be like drowned out by the music, given that it’s on exactly the same tabletop as the speakers are.
Yeah, okay.
Should I turn off the music? Maybe we should, like, move the speakers onto the floor.
Okay, allow me.
[music] Okay, this is sort of like the late evening, except the tone.
Oh, there’s my phone.
[phone ringing] What a nuisance.
I think it’s Phil Windley.
Oh.
Phil Windley to the show.
Hello.
I knew it was you, Phil.
I just wanted to say we’re doing a podcast right now, a trade secrets podcast, but if you don’t mind, we can have our conversation with the podcast going, or I could go in the other room.
[music] Well, my day is– Good for the fight of luck.
Yeah, let’s talk right now.
I don’t think you’re going to be able to hear me.
Right on.
Yeah, I’m just going to say this right now.
Right on.
So how are you doing, Phil? I’ll play a song.
I’m great.
Another song for you.
Pardon me? Having class, yeah.
It’s a great little scene.
I love Cuban food, and I didn’t even know that.
And I’m here with– Yeah, but we’re really good friends, and we’re talking about the stuff I love, so, you know, what could be better, you know? [burps] Excuse me.
Right? Yeah, my having is nice.
Let’s see.
What can we play here? [mimics music] Really nice.
[mimics music] [mimics music] [mimics music] [mimics music] [mimics music] [mimics music] [mimics music] Well, what are you trying to do ? What’s the goal? We should talk– Are we back on the air? Yeah, we’re on the air.
Hey, we’re on the air.
Maybe we should talk a little bit to the people.
What do you think? Yeah.
Well, hold on a second.
We have someone on the phone here.
Man, it takes you a few tries before you get this right, but this is like the sixth time I’ve started this audio thing.
I freaked you out, didn’t I? What is it? It’s an audio comment.
I just played it like someone went on the phone.
Just freaked you out.
Clearly it worked.
Is that it? Like they were talking to me.
Is that what he says? Adam, this is Jim Christian up in London.
This is what you know about the new podcast I’m doing called the Positive Things podcast, available from www.
What? You don’t want to let him give you the URL? Oh, yeah, not give me the URL, but it was positing. net.
So that’s how you do it? Oh, this is a secret.
Yeah, I’m showing you my secrets.
Is this not trade secrets? Hold on.
Or I show you secrets of the trade.
Does that mean you can get my butt over there? Secrets of the trade? I don’t– I mean, this is really low on volume.
Is that okay? But where’s the microphone? Oh, here? Where you put the plug? Where’s the microphone? It’s over there.
Well, it’s better than below.
Well, then let’s move it towards us.
Let’s move it towards us.
As I was saying before, let’s see, we’re what? Six minutes into this right now .
Wow.
We have room on the disk for 52 hours, 11 minutes and four seconds.
You think we should make some coffee? You think we could fit it all in? I don’t know.
I also took a movie.
Yeah.
Oh, you did a movie? I thought you were just taking pictures.
No, let me set it to milieu.
Okay, so yeah, I took a movie.
Out the window.
It’s like right now it’s 5. 30 p . m. eastern time and the sun is kind of going down.
Our window here faces east, so we won’t actually see the sunset, but we will see it reflected.
It’s a lot like the building across the way from us.
And I just took a movie of people on the street out in front of Collins Avenue, which is where the hotel is.
And so anyway, we’re sitting up here in my very luxurious, beautiful suite.
It’s the one they keep in reserve for that one guy is going to keep moaning and bitch ing for better.
Well, I tip the dive rather nicely actually.
I gave him 20 bucks.
And of course, there’s going to be somebody on the internet who points out that Dave would have to be a millionaire in order to be able to tip the guy 20 bucks.
Well, you know, George Bush did send $10,000 of his own money for tsunami relief.
There you go.
It’s only the richest family in the United States.
Well, and you know, I’m doing my part.
20 bucks.
And unfortunately the guys, well fortunately, I should say his family was not included as far as I know in any tsunami.
So, all right, having set the stage and explained myself, which I probably will have to do many more times during this podcast.
I’m looking at what is this a power book, a titanium power book? I think, I don’t know if it’s actually titanium.
What are you doing with that piece of paper there? I’m rolling up the smallest, thinnest, spliffage I can.
Can I have a picture? Yeah, of course.
Okay, let’s get the paper.
By the way, I need to tell the folks at home a little story in case you’re listening.
I was at the, you really want me to take a picture of this? Oh, like no one knows about this, right? Well, you know, oh, I’m taking a movie actually.
Oh, no, not a movie.
Dave’s not here, man.
Dave’s not here.
Wow, talking about bad hair.
Oh, it’s gone.
Thank you.
You’re gonna like that one.
Probably not.
No, anyway, I don’t think you should, like they, I think Customs listens to Daily Source code.
Yeah.
Yeah, so I think they’re flag ged your passport, dude.
I don’t think they’ll be carried.
Okay, you can take it out with you, but I wouldn’t be coming back to the US anytime soon.
You know, but whenever Nick Jag ger or one of those guys, whenever they get caught, you know, it’s like, it’s a big news release and he’s in jail for three hours.
Well, now I get to say what Lloyd Benson said, that I knew Nick Jagger.
Nick Jagger was a friend of mine.
And what? I’m gonna tell you.
You are Nick Jagger.
Although walking down the street without, without a curry .
For a ball.
It was everybody.
And here in Miami, Miami.
Miami.
I’m sorry, I don’t go for the Southeast shit.
I think we’re in Miami.
No, we’re no home.
Listen, I wouldn’t walk around this place.
I wouldn’t walk around.
I went for my daily walk listening to you, by the way.
The daily source code.
The one where Madge promises to sit on your face.
Oh, I’m still waiting.
It’s really hot.
It’s really fucking hot.
Oh, right.
Anyway, and just being the weather outside was pretty hot too.
And I was walking around and there were some dumps around here.
I’m gonna tell you this is not, you know, it’s glamorous and it ’s, you know, it probably looked really good in the 50s, but there’s a lot of run down shit going on around here.
But that’s what this is about here, the South Beach area.
This is where all, when it’s winter in New York, this is where all the models and it’s just, it’s warm.
They got to keep their tans, you know, going.
They got a roller blade here.
This is where they come.
They rent the cheap apartment.
They rent the cheap apartment.
On 11th Street and Pound.
But there is quite a, there’s a big fashion industry here that people of course will eat shit for to get into or there’s movies.
There’s a movie industry.
Yeah, we saw a movie in production actually, didn’t we? Yeah.
It’s a pretty amazing place here.
It’s nice.
I feel like really hot weather.
It’s a really nice place to be.
I mean, here we are, what is it ? January 7th or something? Yeah.
So, yeah.
Anyway, so I’m looking at Adam ’s setup here.
He has something that looks a lot like iTunes, but I guess this is what a Mac looks like, right? How long has it been since you ’ve seen a Mac? It’s been a while.
Obviously.
This is what it looks like.
iTunes.
It’s got the.
No, it’s just a folder.
It’s just a.
Yeah.
I know.
It’s just a folder, right? What’s folder again? Sorry.
So I bumped into these guys on the street as I was doing my podcast today.
And it was great because they were selling their own CD.
And I heard the story, by the way.
You already heard the story? Yeah.
Okay.
You want to hear some of the music? Oh, this is.
Okay.
You have to give the intro because they won’t.
People at home won’t know what you’re talking about.
Right.
So, well, I bought it.
Anybody can actually hear it.
Why not? I don’t know.
The graph is jumping.
Yeah, it’s.
The mic is right there.
Yeah.
So it looks like two again.
Like a buck plug.
Okay.
Thanks.
Now, when you’re driving in your car, do you have that? Use this microphone? No, I don’t use that microphone .
You use the headset microphone? I use the headset.
So you look like an alien while you’re driving with a headset? No, I look like the pilot.
I’m driving my pod.
My theory actually, you know what? When I got that car in 1999, right? It looks good for a 99.
It’s cherry actually.
Look at it.
It’s got almost 50,000 miles on it.
It’s not exactly a brand new car anymore.
And so, so in 1999, which I think was before the iPod came out, was it? Oh, yeah.
Well, I got to let you know, I called that car my pod.
Okay.
I’m not kidding you.
And you know what my wrap was? I said, basically, everybody should be issued one of these at birth.
Here’s your pod.
Here’s your pod.
And good luck and have a great life.
You know, it’s like a human being should have a pod.
And this seemed to me to be the .
Perfect pod.

He said he could tell that I was holding the camera and looking through the monitor and not through the lens.
He was seeking to tell me, “He ’s true. " I’m always shooting like that.
The problem is, I have a bad spot in my eye.
If I look through the lens, I actually don’t see anything.
But this is direct output.
Oh, absolutely.
But what he says is that if you do it this way, you get a blurry picture.
But I have a secret for that.
Watch what I’m doing now.
You’re taking a whole bunch of pictures.
And the computer in here knows which one’s the best.
Really? He knows which one is the best.
This camera does that? Does it discard the old ones? Or does it give you an obstacle ? The bad ones.
It keeps the best one.
And Dave Winer, what camera is this? This is an icon cool, it’s 3200 .
This, my friend, this is… Let me position this for you.
We were talking about positioning.
This is the brownie for the 21 st century.
The brownie? Did you know about brownie cameras? Brownie? Brownie.
You’re too young.
Please.
Can I sit on your knee? Tell me the story.
Shut up.
I’m so full-climbed.
The brownie was the thing that you got for Christmas.
I think my mom had one.
Christmas 1957.
And it came in a brown leather carrying case with a strap.
I don’t even think they were brown by the time I came around .
They were these square cameras that had flash attachments on them.
And they cost like, you know, 20 bucks.
And they made them in the millions.
Everybody had them.
And it was the thing that made photography become… So it was sort of like the Model T.
Was that a Kodak product? I don’t know.
We can look it up.
Obviously we’ve listened to it up on the web.
But I don’t know if it was Kod ak.
I think that it was generic.
I think everybody had made brownies, basically.
And so this thing goes for about 250 bucks, which probably is about the equivalent price today.
You know, adjusted for inflation.
Right? Yeah, there you go.
The brownie camera.
Right.
And for the thing that makes this like a brownie, is you turn the fucker on and you point at something and you click the shutter and it takes a great picture.
It just works.
So this is like a camera that everybody can use.
And I’ve tried a lot of them.
I think that would be the brown ie of the 21st century.
These are brownies? Yeah, that’s the one.
Oh, because that’s really the box camera is what I call it.
Well, the one above you call a box camera.
But the one below, maybe, I can ’t see it that well.
It’s a little far away.
List in description.
Go back to Google and click the images link.
The picture is the most useful thing here, I think.
Yeah, those are old brownies.
That’s probably getting close to what you said.
They had brownies like in the one with the pop out.
That’s kind of cool.
That’s wailed.
Yeah.
They had brownies like in the 20s and the teens and stuff like that, of course.
I wasn’t born until 1955.
This is the one here.
This is the brownie like plastic shell.
Those came out when I was a kid .
So when you were a kid, what kind of cameras did your parents have? My dad was a super eight millimeter guy.
And we lived in Uganda for three years.
You did? Yeah.
You lived in Uganda? Yeah.
And Abote was still president.
Was he the enemy? Just before we left when the tanks came rolling in.
That’s when good timing.
Well, yes, it was everybody.
I remember a lot because we, you know, we lived in this hum ongous house.
I remember a lot of things.
Just a little child memories.
But anyway, we have at least a hundred spliced together roles, like big roles of eight millimeter super eight home movies.
Yeah.
And one day I keep promising myself, right? One day.
So anyway, the director and back, there’s your list of that ’s your iPod of directory right there.
Look how many are managed by someone else.
Yeah.
You have business, comedy and humor.
How can we explain that to people? I mean, it is such a cool thing .
But I think so few people really understand.
I like what Doug Katie with it with it.
I think I can conversation.
You built that as a whole tree.
Yeah.
You got a little free time.
Kind of gets OP about it.
Yes.
Doug Doug.
It’s sort of like you can build your own trade show booth.
It’s like a trade show and everybody gets to build their own booth.
Right.
You can make it as big as you want.
We don’t charge you anymore.
Exactly.
So exactly.
Exactly.
So what I did is like I wrote this software or the script and put it that way and here’s scan iPod of directory.
So now it’s going to go through this.
Actually, it sucks in a new fresh copy.
Interesting.
Oh, it does OP that go down stuff like that.
No.
It compiles the XML.
Yeah.
Exactly.
That’s faster.
Yeah.
So now it’s already found a new URL.
So it’s putting that into a new URL bin.
But this is I asked you about the positive here.
The it is the positive thing podcast.
So that’s already in the directory.
So that’s going to pop up in a second is new.
So you found a new one.
Yeah.
It found a new one.
So it’s trying to pull in the R SS to validate the feed, which it may not do.
If it can’t validate how does it validate the feed by just compiling by compiling.
Oh, you should shoot it over to we should make possible for you should to shoot it over to the debugger, the debugger and let it do a little more detail.
Well, here’s what I’m doing.
The way I put it is if your feed is not right, then the directory scanner is going to skip you this time.
Right.
We can put a better test in there for you.
Okay.
So the XML is not enough to say that it’s a feed.
Right.
Because it could be on a format .
It could be well, XML and actually the the compiler that I’m doing on the XML safeguards me against a lot of that.
You probably you probably caught a lot of problems that way.
People who make honest mistakes and they point to an HTML file and you know, it’s unfortunate they made a mistake, but you sort of you don’t want to add their mistake to your world.
What I think is happening right now is I think our connectivity just out there goes.
See now here you go.
So it’s traversing the entire file.
And it’s good.
And so it’s also now it’s connected to it conversations.
com.
So it’s going to traverse the IT conversations, OPML file.
That’s excellent.
Yeah, but our cartilities fucking sucks again.
So you know, it’s sitting there .
I don’t think it conversations.
Hey, well, this is really the I ’m only up to like Tuesday, the daily source code.
So how is your kind of duty in your project? I’m glad you asked.
I don’t know 100% for sure, but I have all the technical I mean , I’m in the technical email loop, you know, so they give you this is a business broadband.
It’s not a consumer broadband.
And so it’s kind of like they’d be sending these messages to the to the IT manager of the Curry Corporation in Guil ford.
Make sure it goes to the right place.
You don’t want to think any chance.
Of course, you want the CEO of the current corporations to see that.
So basically, you know, I can plug in the router.
It will work and they noticed that I hadn’t.
I was like, let me notice that and they called up.
So they can see the router over there.
Yeah, well, I see the router that is not connected because the router is still in the box because I would have to instruct Christina or Patricia.
Now, I don’t know what the router looks like in my head.
So maybe we could get a script ing newsletter over your house instead of installing.
I mean, well, you’re going to be back when on Sunday.
Yeah, whatever.
You have a long flight.
So you’re going to get that great upgrade going back the other way.
I don’t know.
You know, that’s the dream upgrade.
Everybody wants that.
And of course, that’s the sleep over flight when you really want to.
You wanted that one.
Well, I got it coming here, but that was like a day flight.
Right.
So I’ll leave it.
It’s the other way.
Yeah, where you want to.
You can’t avoid the sleepover.
No.
The nine hour flight.
No, it’s going to be less.
It’s nine hours coming over.
It’s not just tailwind.
It’s different route.
We had a tailwind actually in the silt of nine hours.
They just left later.
Interesting.
Yeah.
That’s like, you know, it wasn ’t such a coincidence that we landed here at the same time.
I knew when your flight was coming in.
I didn’t really know about a kind of new sort of like I had a feeling when it was coming in .
I actually thought I was coming in later, but okay, see there it goes.
A connectivity here is blowing, but then okay, so let me just explain.
That was so bad because it’s not dying.
Well, that’s what I’m worried about.
Oh, that would just run.
And so what this does is when it finds new podcasts, it’s going to open up an outline for me.
It’s going to put the new podcast in, but those podcasts have already been posted on iP odder. org through XMLRPC.
Really? Already now? No, you’ll see.
It’s going to pop open an outline.
Automatically.
Yeah, it’s going to pop open an outline.
It’s going to say, hear the new podcast and the outlines already with the link in them so I can copy and paste it into the text.
But is a new one for everyone or do you like, do you put only one new post on iPodder. org? You put one for everyone? One for every new, yeah, because sometimes people have a nice long description in their RSS feed.
That shows up.
So I’m pulling all that in.
So I’m basically linking to your homepage or your URL.
People feel good about that.
They immediately on arrival get a place.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And do they flame you for that, by the way? Who? Everybody.
Flame me for what? For doing that.
For doing what? For being on it.
Oh, yeah, of course.
People love flaming nice things .
Nice guys lose, Dave.
That’s what I’m saying.
You don’t know that? They’re losers.
Look, here it comes.
You see? Here it’s open.
Yeah, what is that? So these are the new, what’s new? These were found.
Well, this isn’t, this is just my workspace, what’s new.
Right.
I can then paste them in wherever I want because I also maintain nodes.
I don’t know where the shit’s coming from.
So usually what I do, it’s still processing, right? So it’s still going through everything.
So I go over, this is cute.
Firefox looks like shit.
Yeah, I think this room has a virus.
Oh, here we go.
My computer over there, totally disconnected from this one.
There you go.
New podcast.
As of right now.
Yeah, see? Here they are.
222 PM.
Let’s see.
This is just pulling in the description.
242, but it’s not 242.
This is 5W.
Yeah, this server is on.
You know what? Should I move all the servers back to East Coast? East Coast this time.
Because I’m not planning to go back to the West Coast anymore.
That’s it.
It’s over.
Yeah.
At some point I’m going to do that.
I’ve been wondering when the right time to do that is.
Oh, the stinking podcast.
It’s like when I was a kid, we ’d go bowling and my mother, I would make a mistake in scoring the game and my mother would say sometimes, “Well, you know, maybe that’s what you’ll bowl. " So, you know, it’s like, don’t change it.
Maybe you’ll get three strikes in a row, you know, whatever.
So, maybe I’ll end up back on the West Coast.
I figure I need to give this a little burden.
But then everything that I post today gets pushed down.
What kind of pissed about that? No comments on.
Excuse me.
You posted really early.
I haven’t run my scan.
You had your time.
You’re right.
No comments.
You’re right.
Wonderful post.
Well, read it out loud.
Okay.
This guy explains what podcast ing is.
And frankly, I thought this was one of the most pithy descriptions that I’ve ever heard.
Okay, but why would anyone comment? I mean, you’re sending people off to read his thing, right? I know.
They didn’t really want to read it.
Podcasting shows once again how a commercial technology invented for a specific purpose , in this case, the digital music player, which reads its pinn acle in the Apple iPod, can be creatively repurposed to more democratic ends by independent software developers , that’s us, using open technologies like RSS and XML.
Thank you.
Thank you, by the way, for noticing.
And fuck you.
I’m talking to the guy who wrote that.
It was a perfect opportunity to stir things up.
Yeah.
He’s calling right now.
Hello.
Hey, Ron Bloom.
We’re doing a podcast right now , believe it or not.
Is there anything you’d like to say to the people? I don’t think I’ll pass that one on.
Oh, boy.
It was a little race.
I don’t want to know.
I, yeah, appodulate.
Oh, Ron’s feeling better.
P-O-D-U-L, the number eight, because that would be the official way to do that, right? Podge.
So why don’t you come up? Why don’t you come on up? Oh, you’re on the third floor, aren’t you? Why don’t you pop on over and say hi to the people with your own voice? All right, we’ll see you soon.
Cool.
Ron Bloom, everybody.
Ron is ready to do a podcast.
You know how I know? How? He says, “Hey, everybody. " No, really? No.
I mean, yeah, but it was pretty good.
I had you go in there for a second, didn’t I? Shut up, man.
Yeah.
We’re having this at the College Doorman podcast.
The great sequence.
So play some music for the people.
Right on, baby.
Can I just, can I choose? Can I be like, I got music from the guy that I met on the street.
Of course.
It’s up to you, baby.
Here’s the song, “Half Dead N iggas. " Well, you’re likely to get in trouble for that one.
They gave me this.
It bought the CD off him.
Yeah, but no, no, he’s not going to get you in trouble.
Somebody who doesn’t like the word “cunt” is going to get you in trouble.
Okay.
Let’s not play that.
Cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt.
Let’s see.
They did a song with– The whole world is mad.
Wow.
This is– What’s kind of scary? This is these guys with Angie Stone.
I don’t like it.
Where are some people? Oh, here we go again.
There’s a car.
I’m looking for people.
How about someone from the ’60s , Dave? Yeah, I like, you know, the ‘60 s.
You know what, let’s play the– Does Adam have it in his iTunes game? Go.
’60s, ’70s, ’80s.
Oh, you’re asking me? Yeah.
No, I’m waiting for the listeners to call in.
I could call you on your cell phone and play a listener.
’60s, ’70s, ’80s.
And you know what, you can like , pretend that– No.
’60s, ’70s.
Just anything.
What can they get some– “Harm of Chameleon” by Boy George.
No, I can guarantee you almost.
You don’t have that one.
Name a song from the ’60s or ' 70s.
Let’s see if I have it in my iTunes.
From the ’60s or ’70s? Yeah.
And that you don’t mind getting sued over a play.
But it’ll be low-res.
Yeah, it’ll be low-res.
It’ll be low-res.
You know what I say? No-res like low-res.
You know what we play? Have a seat.
You know what we play like, like, “Few Barbless,” you know? Yeah, exactly.
You guys know fun.
I’ll just play some shit.
Play some stuff.
Yeah.
So this is how we do it, Ron.
This is it.
This is the magic.
This is the magic.
This is the podcast, man.
The podcast environment.
This is it.
This is the mic.
This is the dorm room.
The podcast situation.
That was either a microphone.
Or a butt plug.
We’ve been through that.
Small, utilitarian stimulation device.
What’s the time on the thing there? 31 minutes.
31.
So we should go like another five minutes? Yeah, not too much longer.
Okay, then I’ll have to play.
[music] In my white room.
White room.
Bring it on.
Listen to how bad this empty tree is.
It’s like completely compressed .
[music] In my white room.
With my cutlets.
In the station.
[music] Oh, no.
We’ve got to play this Friday.
[music] Oh, that’s the way you’ve got to play.
[music] I smoke two joints before I smoke two joints.
And then I smoke two more.
I don’t have that.
Dead, dead, gun-fly in the middle of the road? I have that.
I like Friday on my mind.
That was good.
Play that.
And while you’re doing that, I ’ll get you.
I smoke two joints.
Okay.
Mellow yellow? Well, that’s actually some more .
See you hear me? Mellow yellow? Donovan? Yeah.
I bet you I had Donovan.
They call it Mellow Yellow.
Oh, fuck.
Of course I don’t.
Do you have some other stuff from the Mellow category? Music.
Donovan, probably have the universal soldier.
Oh, that’s a sucky song.
That’s horrible.
Yeah.
That’s like being compressed.
So who is it? Was that Peter Todd? What’s going on? What’s up? Bob Marley.
I’ve legalized it.
That’s a good one.
What’s going down? What was that one? Oh.
That one’s probably still.
What’s that sound? Two eight.
Everybody look at that.
What’s going round? Stop, baby.
What’s the sound? That one’s still, right? No, no, no, no.
That was… Wait, let’s sing it now.
Stop, hey.
What’s that sound? Everybody look.
What’s going down? That didn’t work.
It didn’t get it.
Yeah, but who the fuck was that ? This was you.
You know, you really have to play.
Okay.
Sly.
And the family’s done? Oh, yeah.
Because that shit rocks.
This is a good time to watch Google Desktop search, though.
I don’t have Sly.
Oh, man.
You believe that shit? I believe in everything.
That’s stupid.
I feel bad.
Do not have any Sly.
Blood sweat and tears.
I might have blood sweat and tears.
Without Cooper.
Some blood sweat and tears for you, everybody.
Can you name it? That is… You make yourself incredibly happy.
That’s… You see the stumpy? I’m very good at this.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
I can’t stump you.
Oh! Sorry.
No, the conflict has been thrown.
Thanks a lot.
No, but it’s a good game.
Yeah, hold on.
You gotta like play… Okay.
I know it.
You can’t have the… No, no, no.
Wow, I thought you were ready, but you weren’t.
It’s the same note.
Play it.
I give up.
Wild thing.
Wild thing.
Yeah, wild thing.
So, the version of hanging on to sleep was weird today.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It was the third.
It was… Okay, yeah, but this one.
I’m sorry.
That was wild thing.
I think you need a buddy.
The deer? Oh, shit.
You know it.
We need some more of that.
Okay.
I was close, yeah.
No.
Oh, come on! Come on! He’s got a humongous cock.
Tom Jones, Green Green Grass at Home.
This is from like your era.
That is an oldie.
Thanks a lot.
They’re talking to you about brownie cameras, right? Yeah, because you’re wearing brownie cameras.
Oh, yeah? He’s also a nice one.
They’re good about reputation.
You know this? Tim Hardin? How can we hang on to a dream? Wild thing.
Now, didn’t you plan some stacks records wrong? Yeah, not that.
Oh, I told my source code listeners about The Princess.
I’m going to put you in the jo ys, because that’s how this one has to end.
Yeah.
Okay, but you don’t have it.
I do.
I’m going to put it in the joys .
Okay.
Well, this is totally the dorm room version, because I think we communicated nothing.
Yeah.
Now we talked about the directory. That was good.
Well, it wasn’t about communicating shit.
True.
It was more about ambiance.
This is Robinson.
And Dave Warner.
I’m a cowboy.
Hiya! Welcome everybody! This is the fucking Madge! Listen to, guess the song contest.
Alright! Alright! Ron Bloom! I got one.
Man, Ron Bloom! Nice Jewish boy from Atlanta.
What song is this? I don’t know yet.
No lo se.
