Today I discovered by accident, that my new GSM phone has the built in capability to record a phone call. In fact, in can record about 8 hours worth of conversations, depending on what else you've got stored on it. And I can transfer the files to my mac with bluetooth in seconds. The files convert easily into any file format (mp3 is my pref of course) and the quality is quite decent, at least it sounded good in this test.
So, no excuse not to record a Trade Secrets with Dave. It turned into a really good show and I will upload it from Amsterdam tomorrow (I'm on a day trip).
Since I'm gone all day and will certainly miss the *$$ (starbucks) curfew of 6 pm, I won't be able to do a source code, but am certain you will like the latest installment of Trade Secrets. Point your ipodders here and watch this space for the show link.
May I suggest listening to Dave's Morning Coffee Notes as a primer to our show and a perfect replacement of your daily code.
Oh, and go figure that Skype releases a new Mac version today that support some of the audio features podcasters have been begging for.
The Independent: "Podcasting delivers radio-like sound files via RSS (the "web syndication" system that many websites now offer) for downloading onto MP3 players like Apple's iPod that have plenty of room for audio files.
The sheer simplicity and potential of the idea have created quite a buzz."
