A few weeks back when I was staring to listen to a lot of RSSAudio downloads, I was interested to know if I was burning battery power with my Lyra when I had it connected to my laptop via USB. Stupidly enough, I sent RCA support an email asking about it, expecting that they’d […]

Well, not really new, but new to me. It’s called Ubuntu and it looks intriguing. They’ve got an awful lot of nice sentiments and philosophies on their website, and it looks like it’s packaged pretty slickly.
It’s based on Debian, which is what my current Linux server is running. Of course, I haven’t […]

Dave Slusher, at Evil Genius Chronicles talks about podcasting. A lot. Just ask Russell Beattie. And that’s OK. Just ask Dave.
Seriously though, I”m not here to give Dave a […]

I’ve been listening to a lot of the new RSSAudio content that’s become available as part of the “podcasting” wave that’s taking the web by storm right now, and it’s ocurred to me that one thing that’s missing is some reviews of the content of these feeds. As with any new media, and even […]

I listened to the audiocast of The Gilmore Gang’s conversation with Kim Polese at IT Conversations and I was struck by a couple of things:

this is really exciting - it’s been obvious for some time that Open Source adoption in the enterprise requires a support and service structure and that it must have the […]

OK, I was wrong. iPodder does not work from behind the proxy server at my place of business. It runs through the check process, but doesn’t find anything (and doesn’t error out or let me know that it can’t connect, either - grr.). It also doesn’t allow one to select a threshold for […]

Saw this on /. and thought it amusing.
A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered heraltitude and spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to him,“Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him anhour ago, but I don’t know where I am.”
The […]

I downloaded and installed iPodder from iPodder.org over the weekend. IPodder worked well; it was very easy to install and configure new feeds to be downloaded to my laptop. It also seemed to work just fine through thefirewall at my place of work, which is somewhat unusual for many internet-based applications, which are […]

I finished listening to the last book in the Sabriel series yesterday, titled Abhorsen.
The sense of how well-written a book is is often hard to discern froman audio book of the work; it’s sometimes difficult to determinewhether you’re enjoyment of the book comes from the reading or fromthe writing, especially when the reading is done […]

That term is like calling weblogging Mac-blogging. It’s too brand-specific.
Listen. I don’t own an iPod. I don’t intend to buy one; they’re too expensive for my pocketbook. I do have a small MP3/WMA player, an RCA Lyra 1021A with a 256 MB SD Card, for a total of 300 MB space, […]
