Kind Robot - Fragapella EP - Definitive w/extras released

2007-11-05T08:32:00.000-08:00

It's been a while since I've posted, but I wanted to let a few more people know that a huge
torrent has been released with all of what Kind Robot has released so far.

You can find it in the link, or here directly:

Kind Robot - Fragapella EP - Definitive with extras-art-etc

It's a pretty big file, about 575 megs, but it contains everything including an uncompressed
master copy of the original EP, as well as uncompressed versions of a few other tracks.
It has extras, unreleased stuff, art for stickers, posters(pdf rasterbator files) alternate covers,
remixes and other's songs that used samples from ccmixter shared tracks.

It's all free stuff, Creative Commons as always and you can share, mix, messup or otherwise
throw it around in as many creative ways you wish without selling it.

Be sure to seed.

This is everything so far. Enjoy...

The New, New Podcast Review!
(fair and balanced podcast reviews)

... and unlike that other place that says they are fair and balanced,
this place really IS fair and balanced.

Totally fair and accurate review. Matter of fact, in a way better
than we deserve right now. Much appreciated. It's great to have
some really good, critical but fair feedback.

(also, I re-read the rant on his site about announcing the length
of songs before they play.. and I must remember to POUND
that into my head from now on before I produce a show. It
makes perfect sense)

Podcaster vs. Mac Store

2004-11-21T23:12:00.000-08:00

Walked into the mac store at the mall this evening. I browsed around
for a while and looked at all the macs I want and cannot afford. Checked
out the ipods and drooled a bit. That's right. A podcaster without an ipod.
Hell, I don't even have the equivilant. Since they had a net connection, I
took it upon myself to open a few browsers to the front page of
ipodder.org just for the hell of it. One of the gurus, macsturbators or
whatever they're called said hi and asked me if he could help me blah blah..
whatever the schpiel was. (not bashing these folks, nice people every one
of them) I said no, but that I was just drooling a bit at the new macs. I
mentioned I was a podcaster and he said "cool". Which I took as:

1. He has NO idea what the fuck I was talking about.

2. He's one of those of the "not easily impressed" generation. You know, the
same one that worships reality TV.

or.

3. He was thinking "yeah.. so what am I supposed to do now.. blow you
right here? Do you see kneepads?"

I get the feeling it was at least one if not two of the above.

But still, fun stuff. And those macs... wow. MUST HAVE NOW!

Battle the Podcast Bandwidth Beast with Bittorrent

2004-10-22T07:43:00.000-07:00

Oooh.. that sure is a lot of "b" words.

Anyway. Let's get to the meat.

Scenario: You've set up a podcast. People have started listening.
A LOT of people. As a matter of fact, for every person that listens
to your podcast, there's approximately 200 annoying little freaks
who merely download your show for the sole purpose of getting
a sick thrill out of knowing what your face will look like when your
provider sends you a 2500 dollar bandwidth overage bill at the
end of this month. That's right. It hasn't REALLY happened yet
has it? It's too early. The gnashing of teeth and the news reports
of random podcasters leaping from remote bridges in the middle
of the night have not begun... yet. Hopefully, with the wonder of
bittorrent, they will never begin at all.

Solution!!:

BITTORRENT!

First let's get to the basic things you'll need.
(this tutorial/primer/etc is for Windows XP)

1. A podcast. Plenty of tutorials for this are already out there.
Get your mp3 together and scoot a little closer now. (ok, that
was just creepy, stop that)

2. A RSS 2.0 with enclosures feed. You can hack mine or Hardcore
Insomnia's. Just look at the codey stuff and type your stuff in place
of our stuff. Technical stuff gives me wood. (more details later... NO!!
not about that, about the RSS.. you are a bit of a perv, huh?)

3. A decent connection to the "INTERNETS" (thanks George)
with a static or NEAR static IP address. (that's when your IP address
remains the same all the time or until you boot your dsl modem/router)

4. A web server of some kind. If you're on a static IP address, you can use
a wonnerful little server appropriately named "Simple Server WWW". It's
FREE! (support the people who make this stuff if you end up using it)

LINK : http://www.analogx.com

Or if you have a hosting provider, you can use that. You'll only be serving
the tiny little torrent file, so don't fret.

5. A way to download a torrent file (other than ipodder). I suggest using
BitTornado. It's small, simple, not too "bloaty" and FREE!!

LINK: http://www.bittornado.com

6. A way to create a torrent. I suggest using MakeTorrent. It's simple and
small and FREE!

LINK: MakeTorrent 2.1

7. Access to a public tracker. I've been using Athlazan's. Sign up and upload those
torrents! (please, I beg you, send me your favorite reliable trackers)

LINK: Athlazan's BNBT Tracker (try it twice if it doesn't work the first time)

Now, let's do it!

Step 1: Join a public tracker. (like the one mentioned above, or one
you've found)

Step 2: Get your mp3 file and make a torrent using MakeTorrent. It's a very simple
process, but you can find directions here:
Making a torrent with MakeTorrent
Just be sure to pay attention and put the tracker YOU have joined and chosen
in the tracker field, not the one on that site. It's important that you find the
tracker's "announce URL" to enter into this field. If not, the kitten gets it.

Step 3: Upload your torrent to the tracker. Directions on how to do this will
be at the tracker site and will be fairly obvious. Be sure to fill in a name for
the listing and a description. Also be sure it's in the proper category. Until word
gets out a bit more, that'll usually be "misc" or "other". Check to be sure the
listing works by going to the front page of the tracker and looking in the latest
torrents listing. When you get there, download your own torrent and complete
the file download by pointing to your mp3 when your bittorrent client asks
where to put the file. The "download" will complete quickly. Now, if you use
bittornado, click on "advanced" then "external announce" and enter the
tracker's "announce URL" and click "ok". (necessary? not sure, but it works
so I wouldn't skip it) Trust me, after the first time this'll get easier. Minimize
that bittornado window and let's move on to step 4.

Step 4: Still with me? Good. Go get coffee. Back? Good. Did I SAY stop and
take a pee? FOCUS! Sorry. I'm a little punchy. Now take that torrent file
you made earlier and...

Simple Server WWW or other local web server running on your machine:

Right-click it. Choose "copy". Go to your simple server
www folder (follow the directions on the site to set up the server) you
chose to host files in and right click on it. Choose "paste". The URL for
your torrent file now exists. It will be http://your.ip.address/torrentname.torrent

External Web Server:

FTP the file to the folder of choice. Now figure out the URL to that file.
If you uploaded it to a sub folder off your main HTML folder it would be
http://www.yourdomain.com/subfolderwherethefileis/torrentname.torrent

Now that you have that torrent URL, you're ready for step 5.

Step 5: Grab that rss 2.0 with enclosures file of yours and modify it.
In the enclosures tag, for enclosure URL, use the direct address to
the torrent on YOUR web server.
Instead of type="audio/mpeg" inside the enclosure tag, you'll be using
type="application/x-bittorrent"
Now, go back to your torrent file, the one you created earlier. Right
click and and choose "properties". Look at the file size in bytes, size...
not "size on disk". THAT is your length=, not the size of the MP3 file.
Enter all the other normal information you would enter between the
tags to identify this particular podcast. (many tutorials are available
on the net here-bouts) Save that new RSS 2.0 XML file and upload it to
the place it goes.

Step 6: Check your feed with ipodder and watch those new seeds appear.
You'll see your bandwidth usage in real time and can adjust it within the
bittornado client program. And remember, keep that torrent open for as
long as you want that file to be available. Hopefully, people who visit
the tracker will be curious about this whole "podcasting thingee" and download
your show. A few of them may even leave the torrent open for a while or
become a seeder.

(this tutorial is in flux... if you see mistakes or can offer more in
depth information on a step, or links, keep 'em to yourself buddy..
this aint' no WIKI, K??!! Nahh... please help. I probably made
some mistakes and welcome any input or suggestions.

heh... he said he "welcomes ANY INPUT" huh.. huhuh

Bandwidth and Podcasting - A Torrent nightmare

2004-10-22T05:39:00.000-07:00

Watch this space for a pretty comprehensive podcasting with
bittorrent tutorial/guide.

Why?

Well, I was up until just now figuring it out. I think I exchanged
about 50 e-mails with Hardcore Insomnia Radio's host Jason
before we finally gave up and called it a night. But I decided to
test it all on my own web server(s) with a different approach and
actually managed to get it working. And the solution was so
goofy and simple I managed to overlook it.
But now it's time for sleep.

The bad news is that my podcast isn't done yet. The good news
is that now the bandwidth won't be killing me and when my next
show is ready (look for Sat/Sun as a goal) for podcasting, it'll be
a torrent download. Yay.

I'll post every step I took here after I actually finish my own
podcast.
bed calls to me...

More Podcasting in the press.

2004-10-19T15:12:00.000-07:00

Digital-music players such as iPods aren't just for music anymore.

The handheld devices are increasingly repositories for audiobooks,
radio-style talk shows, news reporting, feature stories and even the
recent presidential debates.

A new tech craze called "podcasting" makes much of this possible

(St Plaul Pioneer Press)

..and it continues, actually offering links to how-tos, etc.

Stern Article mentions Podcasting

2004-10-17T14:15:00.000-07:00

"Meanwhile, down in the trenches of the technology world, some clever folks are creating something they're calling ``podcasting,'' delivering audio programming to MP3 players like Apple's iPod. The genre is at the distant periphery of radio today, but it has major potential.

Its significance is the flexibility it adds to the ecosystem. It helps us collect radio-like programming, some of which is being created by people using low-cost yet adequate audio tools, that we can put on our MP3 players and then listen to at our leisure. More intriguing, this is going to be a delivery system for gifted amateurs and, if they're smart, professional programmers as well."

Well, at least I have "smart" down. heh. I have no idea about that other part.
yet.

The original footage looks like it was shot yesterday. The new print is
a MIRACLE! But.... well you'll see. The subject certainly is timely, but
Lucas, as you know, has a bad track record in regard to revisions.

As my friend Ash pointed out, the original had a very claustrophobic
mood to it, and some of these expanded spaces may take away from
some of that.

Images of meat!!

heheh...

Seriously, nice find.. again...

boingboing

And I must say Cory has been looking as svelte as I.

I started a few weeks ago at 220-something, and I am now
below 180. I do work out once a day, skipping Sunday.
1 hour cardio, followed by upper body/lower body weight
lifting and machines on alternating days.

I tried Atkins a few years ago, without exercise and
lost nearly 40 lbs. But I gained it back within a year.

This time I'm doing it right, not going to extremes and
adding a strict workout regimen. I've lost more in less
time, feel better and look healthier/better.

Best of luck to you low-carbers out there.

EDIT: Also created a LJ (livejournal.com) feed.

Clicketey it here.

Yahoo and Google like Beatles and Beach Boys

2004-05-18T03:44:00.000-07:00

Yahoo and Google remind me of something my High School art
teacher once told me. She said in her day, you were either a
Beatles fan or a Beach Boys fan. Never both.

Beatles: Meant you were kinda mod, a bit of an anglophile,
a bit hippy perhaps toward the end there and a little "acid".

Beach Boys: Meant you liked songs about cars, wished you lived
in California and tended to keep kinda clean cut, even if you
smoked a bit of the devil's weed from time to time. (or you
were Charles Manson)

now...

Google: Means you're either kinda geeky or know someone who
is. Less now than before, but I still think google is the geek's
choice. You want results, not flash.

Yahoo: You like your news in little flashes that take up as little
time as possible to fuel casual conversation later in the day or
at the cooler tomorrow. You like everything in one place. Search, e-mail and news. (yeah, look out , gmail is on the way) The internet to you is still a little scary.

To be fair, I do have a yahoo e-mail. I like yahoo e-mail. More now than before because for the first time in about 3 years my e-mail is manageable. And with the new storage (when is that guys?) and larger attachments, e-mail just may be useful again soon.

But when gmail is made available to me, (c'mon, give it to me already) I will be using it. Actually, the targeted ads thing doesn't bother me as much as it should. As long as they have a clear privacy policy and the data involved is strongly encrypted, I'm ok with it.

How trademark and DMCA abuse can be your friend!

2004-05-17T19:52:00.000-07:00

Well, those of you close to me may know already, but I was
threatened with a DMCA shutdown by a guy running a phonesex personals site. One with a title he trademarked several months AFTER my last known (as in google archived) mention of my service with a link to said service. My service, using a different name, pre-dated his. Yet, he holds the trademark. Since I am not in the best of financial situations, legal advice has been sparse at best. However, I know in spite of his trademark, proof of another service predating his should have some kind of legal power. My intention is ONLY to be allowed to offer my free service, not to nullify his trademark. But being nice so far has not worked. I am
doing a bit of research right now (yes, more) in regard to search engine placement for a certain term or terms and getting in contact with domain contacts for sites which may have been sent similar letters.

If someone stole his name, outright, and his design, I completely understand his desire to protect his rights and his product/service. But see, I not only came up with the idea before he did, I also created the service on the Web before he did. So in this case, he's just in the wrong on every level. "Free Phonesex Personals" is a description of an obvious thing. His trademark even used different wording, but he claims his customers would be "confused", possibly thinking my (FREE) service was his (PAY) service. Yeah, not likely. But as these things go, the only way to protect your site is to remove the material when you get those DMCA letters, or your provider panics and takes you down. I cannot afford that. So over the barrel I go.

Where do I turn??

And this was an outright FREE service. No catches, no pop-ups, no banners, no trickery, no e-mail spamming. Nada. Just free.

It's almost like a restaurant moving in across from a soup kitchen and getting a trademark on "free hot soup".

And if you read this, buddy, notice there's no link or direct reference to you. So go pay your lawyer again. He loves those checks. Unless he's your uncle or something. And your exact trademark wasn't even mentioned. And that's THE truth.

But you know what? This was just the kick in the pants I needed to get the ball rolling again, in a big way.

The personals are gone, for now. But everything else is getting overhauled, re-licensed, revamped and cleaned up.

So maybe these little DMCA threats are just what lazy webmasters
need.

Be right back, I gotta go trademark "free hot soup". I don't want any homeless out there "confused".

Yes, I'll start paying attention to this thing.

I'll start mirroring LJ posts here and doing more
"cool links" stuff here.

I forgot to mention that since I was a paying
blogger before, I got one of those nifty "Powered
By Google" Blogger hoodies, which I love. No, you
cannot have it.

Well, unless you have 70 bucks. I need the money.

How sad is that? Bad week. More on that later.

Updating gotilk.com to include basic photo galleries.

I'll be using a Creative Commons License for all images,
old and new.

Exciting stuff, all that.

I'm new to the blogger stuff, but I'm getting the hang of it. I'm so used to livejournal now, it's like switching from windows to the mac os. But I guess the real difference is that I'm not sure this is the more efficient interface. But I like it, so far. Don't get me wrong.

BULLSHIT!
One of the few reasons to get cable/dish (or steal it).

Years ago I viewed an interview with Penn where he coined a new term...
Newage. (sounds like sewage)
They are the antidode for buying into any and all things without reason.
Take their show AND the ideas they feature with a grain of salt. But be sure
to pay attention if you come away feeling like you've swallowed the red sea.

Welcome to ultraILK. I will be posting a lot of stuff from my livejournal site, as well as more mundane, daily stuff I tend to exclude there. Wish me luck.
