TPN Rock Missing Presumed Having A Good Time

It’s nice to wake up to a full inbox and IM clients flashing at me with the same question. “It’s Friday? Where’s TPN Rock??? Wahhhhhh!” Well the servers over at The Podcast Network are getting major surgery. The flipside will be faster connections, no drop outs, and generally making it better. It’s just there’s a [...]

David Mery Arrested under the Terrorism Act

I’m jsut going to post this link to David Mery’s website. David is some I have regular contact with via All About Symbian, and quite frankly, this post is chilling. THis is only a small quote, you’ll want to read the whole thing.
So, basically the Police have decided that wearing a rain jacket, carrying a [...]

I’ll Be At O’Reilly’s European Open Source Convention in October

Word has come down the grapevine that I’ll be attending O’Reilly’s European Open Source Convention 2005 in Amsterdam this October. I’ve been asked along to showcase the DIY nature of Podcasting at the Maker Faire on the Wedensday evening - if you’ve never been to one before, think of a Villiage Fete organises by BA [...]

PodCastCon UK Report

Well that was fun! A whistle stop visit to London (the second in as many weeks) for PodCastCon, the first European (and probably the first in the world, but we’ll need to run that through a fact checker first methinks) Conference for Podcasters. It went well. Really well. Given that (a) this sort of thing [...]

Lots of thoughts from PodCastCon 2005 in London at the weekend, but one thing has been annoyng me since I met Mark Hunter (finally) from the Tartan Podcast. Cue Private Eye.

Here we go again. Yes there’s PodcastConUK this weekend in London, and the All About Symbian Pub Meet and Smartphone Show in October, but I’m working on the next ‘mega-trip’ for the first half of November. This will be the third one this year (previously March and June saw trips), and they’re typical characterised by [...]

Send a Polite Email vs A Post To A Blog. Thoughts after the Podshow TnC Flurry

Wow, that summed up parts of the blogsphere pretty nicely. What am I talking about? The PodShow’s Music Catalogue’s Terms and Conditions. TnC’s posted, a number of sites go on a big massive “oh my god the sky is falling and Satan is spewing forth polluting the world’s indie music,” some people try to rationalise [...]

Motorola and the Apple iPod Phone. Is This, Actually, A Good Idea?

So the Motorola/Apple iPod Phone is coming next week, and the speculation on the next (and the occassional dissenting voice) are all being picked up and spun - as is the way of the www. It’s nice to know that likes like The Register are watching over this blog, and even nicer that my thoughts [...]

PodShow Updates Terms and Conditions

One of the marks of people paying attention is reacting to developing situations. Where it normally takes months to react for a big business, the blogsphere kinda neuters that. So kudos to Podshow for a fast TnC update, as detailed here by C. C. Chapman
The next time Podcasters sign into the Podsafe Music Network they [...]
