MP3 link does not seem to work (links to just the image in a popup?).



But I got it off:

[dotComrade]

It works from the homepage, but not from the forum thread

EDIT: Fixed now, good stuff decryption

[decryption]

Ooops, forgot to use the proper code, my bad. Works now

[Huy]

Ah okay ... I never visit the homepage.

But when I did visit just then, the Podcast 40 wasn't up so I came here.

Listened to first 20 minutes on my way into work. I was waiting for another threat from FTC (am I allowed to abbreviate him?) in relation to the impending rumoured Nano and pix. Luckily, (at least so far), it wasn't forthcoming!

Meanwhile the PC part of me gave a little cheer at Decryptions terabyte server box admission. What OS are you running, hopefully some linux derivation?

You mean 3.5TB

Still haven't chosen an OS yet. Don't know if I can be arsed fudging around with Linux and I have a couple of spare OEM copies of XP Pro.

[mitty]

^Makes my 2TB box look shameful (and it's barely half full).

But as a simple home server hidden in a corner somewhere, XP pro is fairly hard to beat.

Meanwhile can Apple hurry up and release new Mini's etc, preferably with some cool Media Center style interface that will use BDA compatible tuners. Vista Media Center is great but Vista itself is a buggy POS.

[Rant]

Nearly getting into a fight at the pub over the Telstra iPhone plans... I like my podcasters to go that extra mile.



[ if I had any money, I'd buy you beer - somebody with a job, buy them some beer, please ]

[arkenstone]

1) Kevin Rose is a Velocodouche.
2) I was kind of hoping this episode would be named "fuck the flying car, where's our EPG?" but praps that was a little optemistic

With the talk about multi casting sport. I remember back in 2000, when digital tv was starting to make head way here. Channel 10 started multi casting the v8. It had 4 channels 1 for the standed stream, 1 for incar views and another for stats. All so channel 7 all so multi caste the oz open last year or maybe the year before one channel for standed stream and the other channel for stats and highlights.

Channel 2 has the 2008 paralympics. And there multicasting it on abc1 and abc2. Abc1 will be the everyday action and abc2 will be highlights
