    Hey Phil, do you have a separate feed for the podcast only? The “MAKE Audio feed” URL you gave us above it’s the ordinary rss feed for all the blog posts ( http://www.makezine.com/blog/index.xml )….

  2. philliptorrone says:

    hey zeno, the podcast applications will just “see” the audio programs, let me know if it doesn’t work (i tested on ipodder and about 4-5 others).

    cheers,

    Good show – I enjoyed it quite a bit. I was hoping for a little more than an optimistic “Wow” about the Adobe purchase of Macromedia. Yes, there are “implications” that are positive, but also potentially negative. Did I miss the monopoly discussion? What about the Adobe/Macromedia employees sweating with insecurity right now?

    The link to the autostitch tag on flickr seems to be missing. The link that says “Panoramas” links to the payphone pokia handset. Here’s a link to the autostitch tag: http://flickr.com/photos/tags/autostitch/

    Hey Phil, Really great to have you back on a gadget podcast. Missed hearing you on my ipod for last Three and a half month. Was worried you were going to lose your bet on podcasting being a short lived fad. Im Working on shortening a usb2 – firewire type I Cardbus into a Cardbus type III card that is flush with side of laptop. Will document would it be good for a makezine article ?

    Hey phil, thanks very much for your answer, yes the feed is ok with specific podcast-applications, but not using what I believe is the best solution to listent to podcasts on Mac OS X: NetNewsWire 2.0 (the latest beta include cool “per-feed podcast” settings): if I add that feed to NNW, I get all the blog ‘textual’ posts + ‘podcast’ posts mixed together…it would be nice to have a separate feed for the podcasts only…let us know! and keep up the great work!!!

    Interesting program Phil, though you seem too way to steeped in a Microsoft-Apple axis when clearly FOSS is DIY at its core.

    I’ve nevered owned or been interested in digital cameras until you mentioned being able to get a good one for $30. How good is good? It’d be great if you or anyone else could give me some pointers to cheap but quality beginner cameras.

  18. Duskin says:

    I am very happy to hear you are back into podcasting. You are one of my favorite podcasters, and I learn alot from every one of your shows. One drawback is that you make me want to go spend money on gagdets, something I shouldnt do on my slim budget.

  19. Busterbrown says:

    I’m new at this but find it very interesting. This is a great tool for many uses.
