The simplest podcast API ever
via Scripting News by (author unknown) on February 18, 2008
A new service from BlogTalkRadio...Call their special phone number: 646-200-0000. It records the call. When you're done it creates an RSS 2.0 feed with an enclosure that's an MP3 of the call. The address of the feed is a function of the phone number you called from. I just called in a podcast from my Nokia N95, which they added to this feed:http://cinch.blogtalkradio.com/8583429663...

Comcast's 250GB limit?
via Scripting News by (author unknown) on May 07, 2008
DSLreports piece says Comcast may impose a 250GB monthly limit for customers. If you go over, you pay $15 per 10GB. Since I got shut down last month for being in the top 1/10th of 1 percent of their customers, without notice, I'm in a pretty good position to evaluate this plan from a customer's perspective.Comments...1. They're stating publicly that they have a limit and what the...

Seesmic and Disqus sittin in a tree
via Scripting News by (author unknown) on May 14, 2008
I like video comments, didn't think I would but I do. I think people are more responsible and throughtful when their words are backed by their voice and face.So when Daniel at Disqus and Loic at Seesmic asked if I would let them use Scripting News as one of the places they rolled out their new partnership I said Yes and I would be honored (I said it weeeth ze Franch agzent). I thought they...

Should Yahoo accept Microsoft's offer?
via Scripting News by (author unknown) on February 06, 2008
Mike Arrington is doing a great job of laying out the options for Yahoo wrt Microsoft's offer to buy them out. He's written twopieces that helped put it together for me. Mike clearly has great sources in the investment banking community and among potential buyers of Yahoo, and is actively talking with them. He's got a business lawyer's mind and, as you know I'm sure, he's...

A hint in a postscript
via Scripting News by (author unknown) on February 13, 2008
Dare Obasanjo works at Microsoft. In his blog post about the Yahoo layoffs, in a postscript, he indicates that Microsoft is interested in creating a Twitter clone. I've said openly, on Twitter (and now here) that I would like to be part of a venture that aims to create a scalable Twitter. I've had several conversations with people who are attempting to do this. I haven't done a deal...

MP3s of candidate conference calls?
via Scripting News by (author unknown) on February 20, 2008
They talk about them all the time on the news shows, every day the major Presidential candidates have conference calls with reporters.It seems much of the real action in the campaign happens here, but we (voters, taxpayers, citizens) have no access.I listened to an MP3 of one of the calls, with the chief strategist and communications director of the Clinton campaign. It was fascinating, gave me...

My Digg clone -- from Reddit!
via Scripting News by (author unknown) on January 23, 2008
11/26/07: "I wonder if we could start a Digg-like community with the readers of Scripting News."It would be the editorial system of a community formed around this blog. Eventually, every blog with even a small number of regular readers would have one. The bigger the blog, the more like Digg it would be. That's not necessarily a good thing, because as these things get large, they move away...

Why does Twitter go down?
via Scripting News by (author unknown) on January 31, 2008
Over the last 24 hours Twitter has been down as much as it's been up. As always this gives us a reason to think about what the world would be like without Twitter and then those of us who are engineers or would-be engineers, start thinking about ways to fix the problem, whatever it is.The Twitter folk say that the recent problems are related to an infrastructure overhaul. Of course I believe...

Micro-Digg, oy -- honeypot for idiots
via Scripting News by (author unknown) on January 31, 2008
I should have known...The idiots want to rule the Reddit I started for Scripting News readers. I couldn't figure out how to delete it, and while trying, I deleted my account, so forget the experiment, and if anyone at Reddit is listening, could you please delete it for me. (I sent an email but there was no response.)Still diggin!

I heart EyeTV
via Scripting News by (author unknown) on February 15, 2008
One of the neatest gadgets I've bought in the last year is a high-def receiver to work with the EyeTV software. It plugs into a USB port on my Mac, and it receives digital high-def programming over the air. I put it in my upstairs study where I've got a clear view of San Francisco Bay, and the reception is very very good. I get all the big networks this way, was able to record last...
