NPR Podcasts OPML

I just saw the Dave has pointed to a post from Chis Pirillo, asking for an OPML file of all of NPR’s podcasts. Funnily enough, I have been talking to people at NPR about doing just that.

I have an OPML file here, which lists all their podcasts.

Very soon (once I have ironed out a bug) I will use the alpha system at podcast.com to publish this. All I need to do is import the OPML, and then assign a subdomain, using the simple form (yet to be released) and bingo!! They’ll all appear within npr.podcast.com I did an identical process to create http://bbc.podcast.com

Bluggcast #23 – at last!

Bluggcast #23 online

Woo! Last night, we finally managed to get the time to do another episode of the Bluggcast podcast! Not only that, but we actually broadcast it LIVE as we were recording onto our land in Second Life – on the 'Bluggcast Balcony'.

Quite a few people showed up and danced and chatted about it – then we had a little disco on the balcony afterwards šŸ™‚ GREAT STUFF!!

podcast.com LIVES!

While sat here at OPML Camp, I just tore down the login page to PODCAST.COM so you can all come in and have a look. There is still ALOT of work to do and much of it is not complete yet. But you should get the idea.

One of the main things we'll add soon is a decent feedback mechanism fo you to tell us what you thing. Please read the 'develupdates' and 'more info' links to find a brief explanation of where we're at.

Early days – exciting times!! šŸ™‚

here's basically what we want to do :

 

SYO Expansion

Well, it looks like things are going well for DanMac and Dave on the SYO project. Things are moving on.

Good for them. šŸ˜‰
Maybe if things between Dave and I had been different, well, maybe things would be *different*. šŸ˜‰ SYO shares among other things like OPML and RSS, some similarities to the core of the podcast.com / treedia system, I've been developing (on my own) since back in November.

I'm just putting some finishing touches to the search facility here, then I hope to able to reveal more at the OPML Camp which starts in a few hours.

It's a shame that CCTV (Cambridge Community TV) aren't involved, or we could stream a video of the event to you all, and through to the Second Life Berkman Center video screen. Hmm , maybe they are? I don't know, but they did a grand job at the Beyond Broadcast event last week.

OPML Camp this weekend

Yes, I’m over here in Cambridge, MA for the OPML Camp taking place this weekend at the Berkman Center in Austin Hall. Looking forward to seeing what others turn up and finding out about some cool stuff.

I got hold of a new MacBookPro while here. Very nice and fast. (And runs Second Life much better than others PCs I have – for now)

I tried installing an OPML Editor to it, but the docs seems to be out of date. I heard about a fresh Mac installer a while ago but I can;t seem to find it anywhere. Anyone have any pointers?

The version I tried to install from a fresh download (on Windows too) just won;t update to the latest version. It complains the the ‘updateTool’ has not been defined. Seems odd.

I’ve been uber busy since being here since last weekend for the Beyond Broadcast event, set up by Jake Shapiro from PRX/Berkman. What a great time that was. Geat set of people there.

Again, the lack of a working OPML Editor stopped me blogging (as easily as I would like) about it. I need help!!

Test

Can I do an iframe here? Via the OPML Editor…

No – is the answer – shame. Is this ony on the hosted version though I wonder. Hmm.

I’ve been building a blogging tool recently which is going to take over all my blogging and podcasting duties. šŸ˜‰ It’s sliiiick.

Komik #1

Just playing around with the new MacMini and the ComicLife application. Fun! I like it!

There used to be a comic app I used to play with years ago, but you couldn’t add photos as easily back then (or take them digitally, come to think of it!) – hours of fun. The old Microsoft ComicChat was fun too. Whatever happened to that?

More of this nonsense to come. I bet someone has already written an online verison of this which automatically pulls in images from flickr based on the words in the panels???
