@joestump @sprintly As a product developer myself, I agree with the sentiment in #2. @sprintly and @basecamp make me hate my own work.

Tantek explains more about being POSH.

Hm. Dave is re-inventing RSS's <enclosure> element, this time as the technology-specific <torrent> element. We already have Bittorrent-as-enclosure working just fine, thank you.

Dave links to a Dowbrigade story about a journalism student killed by police riot-control activity last night in Boston. The line Dave quotes from the story:

I figured out a better solution for doing the audio blog thing. It's based somewhat on the system that Hugo Schotmann got going, and works pretty well. Dave Slusher is using the same system now for EGC, and notes in his latest audio post that there is some echoey stuff going on in the headphones. I had the same thing, but I think I got distracted by it, where Dave seems to have done just fine.

The trouble I'm having right now is that the drive makes too much noise when chewing through audio data, and without a proper external mic, I get all kinds of whiney noise in the recording. Grr.

Sean McMains (friend and Conversant user) has been out of work since March when they closed the office of Electronic Arts where he worked. > Woohoo! Just heard from the University, and they extended me an offer! I should be starting on Monday.
