Make it short and sweet :o)
(4:43 min, 2.7 MB, right-click and say 'save link as')
- On the list of being much to long: G'Day-World, Treopodcast, Rip'n Read
- good boy: todayspodcast.com
- So this is a short one - so you don't need a post it note with timestamps too.
- Like another german podcast? gnak.de is partly online - the podcast and feed are there but the blog is still missing. ;o)

Foggybottom meets "mine! mine! mine!"
(24:55 min, 14.6 MB, right-click and say 'save link as')
- Thanks to Brian from Coverville for saving me money
- The new "Do they know it's christmas" sucks - this version absolutly lacks character
- Enjoying mashup for example from Radio Clash
- Still trying to pronounce ubiquitous - thanks to Scott from Today's Podcast
- Thanks for Mail:
- Mark from Toronto for reminding me of the kinder egg (Wikipedia / Website of Ferrero) advent calender
- Sean giving me a reason to talk about the Bundesland (provinces not states according to Wikipedia) I am coming from: Schleswig-Holstein!
- And Scott from Texas for leaving me wondering, if Lubbock has Lübeck as origin. :o)
- Nicole Simon does not really have a naming history or a second name *teardrop* - but it is easy pronounable in english ;o)
- Thanks to Geoff Taylor for an article in the british independent about podcasting. I especially like this line:
Called "podcasting" (because it's a bit like broadcasting and it's aimed at machines like the iPod)
because this 'aimed' show much better then everything else I have heard till now what the ipod stands for. And I had to laugh on this one:"Everything is packed, especially my hard disk," wrote Italian weblogger Paolo Valdemarin as he was about to leave for a trip to London. "I have downloaded a whole bunch of podcasts that I have not been able to listen to (this is a big issue with podcasts) and I'm looking forward to be stuck at the airport or on the aeroplane in order to be finally able to listen to all this stuff."
I had an appointment at the dentist, which was kind of an emergency and as you can think was not be very pleasent. The assistent told me to bring time with me (as I was put in as a favour). I spent some time on deciding what podcasts to bring with me - and was very disappointed. ;o) - and after that it was foggybottom, buifing and puasident. - Threadwatch notices Podcasting: A Podcasting Primer:
If you browse the serious tech blogs at all, you'll have noticed the word podcasting coming up time and time again. We're ever so slightly behind the curve here at Threadwatch but are catching up rapidy, and with this in mind, i thought it might be time for a little primer.
The article threadlinked above is a great introduction to the tech and technique. You will have to put your marketers hat on to understand why it's important to Threadwatch but im confident you'll see the point :) - Don't look! Hide your eyes, hide your Palm Pilots! Bejeweled 2 is out.
As the office weblog quotet absolutly correct:Generally, I try to discuss tools and techniques that will make you more productive. This is the exception to that trend. If you continue reading and follow my advice, I guarantee your productivity will go down.
I've warned you! - Calculate Fahrenheit, Wikipedia on Fahrenheit
Hear you again this week :o)

A podcast to you from Lübeck, south of Germany! ;o)
(22:55 min, 13.5 MB, right-click and say 'save link as')
- Lübeck, in the south of Germany! ;o)
- I do like Dave's podcast - why did everyone believe I was serious? This still irritates me.
- Did you behave?
- I agree, we should not try to play nice. Be yourself.
- Steve Hartzog reminds me about the Haribo Adventskalender (filled with gummi bears) - and the problems with mixed languages ...
- About Gummi and Kindereggs - and "product liability" :o)
- A beautiful garfield about cookies (Fensterbank is windowsill)! And the quote I am referring to comes from "All the world is a cookie jar and all the people mere crumbs: I happen to be one of the chocolate chip"
- greetings to G'Day World and Mick, not Mike!
- please make shorter podcasts!
- Lübeck the big Marzipan-City, but inventor? ;o)
- already planing my xmas vacation: when to hear which podcast?
- looking forward to the next Coverville with a special songs, directly delivered from the UK!
- people need to experiment podcast to get hooked on it - perhaps we should make a podcasting cd? (Ronan Keating made place 100 in the german album chart with 214 sold cds that week - a big chance for a podcasting?)
- do you know a french podcast? I have two teachers who might be interested in it for their students
- living in 'the internet' and beeing part of this world is just great - try finding the same interesting people in a city of 200.000 people ...
- A deep longing for reading a book again - perhaps of too much audio? Ratio of reading to listening seems to be overwhelming for my brain.

Useful Sounds: The cat is out of the bag
A very short podcast (and short notes) on my new equipment with my Tascam - but no time to experiment or do very much editing (next time, promised) cause I am off for Bingo!
(10:28 min, 4.9 MB, right-click and say 'save link as')
- The must see video and thoughts about that from Rob Greenlee on Webtalkradio Blog: Google Grid, Googlezon and MS Newsbotster.
- Yes please, interesting advertising! I even hunt them.
- I am glad, other shops are not like amazon
- The cat is out of the bag: People have tasted freedom of choices with Tivo - you can't get them to forget that. Podcasting is the next step for the audio part. Remember history, remember the matrix? No way, the cat will be back in the bag.

NSFW - "This Podcast has been rated not safe for workplace situations by its creator."
My view on this:
NSFF - "This Podcast has been rated not safe for family situations by its creator."
SFF - "This Podcast has been rated safe for family situations by its creator."
SFW - "This Podcast has been rated safe for workplace situations by its creator."
This podcast is probably not safe because it was made from a european point of view - where worksafe and family safe has other meaning.
- Please, please Dave ... ;o)

Useful Sounds podcast for 2004-11-16
Meta
Message from Valter. :o)
New Mailaddress for (audio-) comments: at gmail.com its usefulsounds or via my contact form
In case you do have an microphone I would like to invite you to just say your name and where you are from - I would really like that a) for my podcast and b) am doing a little documentation for my local miniradioshow about podcasting - and feedback from listeners in audio would be great.
Some words which sounded funny to me
- paudience - heard in some podcasts
- kinrowan from the House of the Hanged Man called himself frellin ggenius:
It only took me 4 weeks of listening to podcasts every day in my car to discover the wonders of technology I already owned.
When I finally woke up, I grabbed the portable CD player -> auto cassette player adapter that came with a cd player we bought 4 years ago, plugged it into my Lyra, and now I can listen to podcasts over my car stereo system.
- Mary Hodder from napsterization
Podolicious - I love the names that are coming up. Podio. The Poderati. iPodder.
- Seeding Angel by Evil Genius
- "Skype-isms" by Garth T Kidd
- And as a little joke on the end:
Why is it that at the end of your traffic budget is always so much month left?
Für 19,90 Euro verkauft Pearl den Q-Sonic MP3-Wecker USB. Sie laden Ihren Lieblings-MP3 auf diesen Wecker und stellen die Weckzeit ein. Am nächsten Morgen wachen Sie dann zu Ihrer Lieblingsmusik auf.
For downloads of the podcasts with ipodder etc. please start using bittorrent.xml instead of rss.xml, thanks.

2004-11-15 Of frustrating weekends over probation rules to peanut butter jars.
(Because of abusing clients I had to remove the enclosure of the rss.xml - please choose direct download or (better) take the bittorrent.xml file. Thanks.)For downloads of the podcasts please start using bittorrent.xml instead of rss.xml, because this is the last rss.xml with enclosures. I don't know if / how I will put back up the other podcasts, depends on some things I have to check first. Keep you posted.

The first useful sounds podcast :o)
Took longer than it should have been with editing - and I should have used the time to make my presentation for this morning, I am giving a little powerpoint seminar *arg*But I wanted this thing out today after all this trouble making it. Now! And - tada - here it is, 27:27 min long:
(right-click and say 'save link as')
No, I did not 'make' the 27:27, it just happened. As written before, the intro is made out of Wataridori 2 by Cornelius from the Wired-Sampler. As far as I understand, this is what I can use this for, right?
Beeing a good girl, I also did an entry on ipodder.org (only category audio blog seemed to fit) and ipodderx directory, sent a promo to openpodcast.org
Usable Links from this podcast:
# the famous text editor: Notetab from Eric Fookes
# Steffanie Müller: Deutsch für Anfänger

*hrmpf* okay that part with audio.weblogs.com did not go well, and no enclosure is showing on bloglines in this feed. Will debug that later.
