meh
I just checked them but couldn’t find a setting for “I’d prefer that none of my episodes actually be made available at my iTunes site.”
Anyone know where this is hidden and how to KILL it?
J0e: If you’re using podpress, hit the PodPress Tab, then the Feed/iTunes settings Tab.
I hope you get this working for the NASCAR sponsor, man!
Hey Jack,
I have been there .
Hit the “Ping iTunes” button.
Also checked the feed validator. Although my life may not be validated my feed IS.
Anything else there that I can do?
Yeah, I figured you’d been to that Tab. “iTunes:Block” is set to “No”, right?
(just grasping here)
Yep.
Do you know anything about the “Show Download Links in RSS Encoded Content ” setting?
Did you change anything on this page after you switchef to podango?
Joe FPR has that set to No.
Strange. When I follow the link Summer sent in the e-mail, CCU appears with all 100 episodes.
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=250042741
But, navigating any other way to the CCU iTunes page comes up with an empty listing.
The “Show Download Links. . .” is also set to No for me.
Thanks for trying to help me out Jack.
Seems all I needed to do was go out to dinner and it fixed itself.
Hopefully that is just a temporary burp that won’t show up again.
Well, my daughter has had a rough day for her 7th birthday. Yesterday, while a bunch of the neighbor kids were over playing, she got some kind of splinter in her eye. It bothered her pretty bad, but I was able to flush it clean.
This morning, she woke up with her eye swollen shut and had to spend the day first at the pediatrician, and then the eye doctor. They’ve put her on steroid eye drops to reduce the inflammation and all that has had her pretty wiped out for the whole day.
Her eye is responding to the drops and she’s going back tomorrow for a follow up to make sure her vision is clearing up again.
Not quite the way we had planned her day to be.
Have any of you guys thought about ditching everything and taking a six month hike up the Appalachian Trail?
It really could be a lot of fun for those who like the outdoors.
Dude Ed that sucks totally. I hope her eye gets better :-(
I wish your daughter well Ed. At least the drops seem to be helping her.
But just think of all those creepy crawlies DG, just waiting to have a nibble on passing hikers.
Not to mention bluegrass singers.
On her birthday! Poor girl. But happy birthday wishes to her, nonetheless!
I’m there, disgruntled scientist. I get to wrestle the first bear. I called it.
Happy Birthday little Miss – Ed from Texas!
Sorry you two can’t see eye-to-eye today. ;)
I joke because I care. :)
I hope the day is all better for her from here on!
ds- that does sound inviting.
Some years ago I was in a campground near Gattlenburg (sp?) and met two, 20 something guys who were hiking down the trail. They had spent the summer working in resteruants at the northern end of the trail and now were camping their way south. They stay in an area till weather/time of season was closing that part of the trail and then they’d head a little farther south.
Their goal was to make it to Key West (not on the trial – I know) and spend the winter there.
Sounded like a grand adventure for young, single people with no mortgages or job deadlines.
Morning Pan!
today I get to find out how much it’s going to cost to replace my furnace and hot water tank…
…my life is so exciting.
Happy belated birthday to Ed’s daughter. Hope all’s well that ends well.
Happy birthday. I hope she’s feeling better, Ed.
“Once a jerk, always a jerk.”
Too true! I’m glad the NHL has already–take that hamsters!–addressed Avery’s behavior.
http://www.thestar.com/Sports/Hockey/article/414542
Yeah, I’m glad they took care of it. Hope the Red Wings do better this week.
Well, took a brief break to make some muffins, which are currently in the oven doing their thing.
The furnace man phoned and is on his way to give me a quote. (My hubby and I have a bet on which side of ten grand this is going to cost us :( )
Ditto, can we pretend Avery’s a hamster? Already, already, ALREADY!!! (unless he likes it :) )
DS rather DG..groan.
Ouch TEB, but a furnace makes it sound like you smelt iron in the backyard.
Is bear wrestling the new porn?
Anybody having difficulty getting hold of Eraser Head can grab it from:
http://www.mininova.org/tor/1253891
You can also grab Southland Tales from:
http://www.mininova.org/tor/1302493
10 grand?!! Seriously? Back in Kansas we had the furness replaced for around 2 grand. I would hope the water heater would be in the same ball park. My guess 4 grand in US dollars which is like what, 10 Canadian bucks now?
Yeah, but where can you grab Behind the Green Door from?
I’m almost hoping that Watchmen would win, because for some reason three public libraries have went on a Watchmen buying spree and have multiple copies of the graphic novel for lending.
Well, suck. I wrote a comment before I left home this morning, but I must have not hit the submit button.
Guess I’ll have to get some lessons on how to properly submit. (cue justa joe comment)
Anyway, thanks for the birthday and well wishes – I shall pass them on to her. She’s doing much better today.
Rhett, it breaks down like this:
3,500 for the furnace
3,500 for the water heater (we’re going to a tankless system)
??? for the humidifier
plus 5% government tax.
I figure it will be closer to $8,500 when all is said and done. Hubby’s not so sure.
The only real advantage is, because we’re going “green” we will be eligible for some government rebates, bringing the price down.
On a different note: The only way I seem to be able to get Eraserhead is if I get it from Amazon. Which I won’t do for a one shot deal (sorry). I don’t like doing torrent. So for me, that movie’s out.
2 Torrent questions -
Is there a torrent client that works for Macs?
Would I be correct in assuming that these torrent downloads are … um, shall we say – “frowned upon” by certain official agencies?
I’m sure there is, and yes some items are “frowned upon” Of course the amount of the frowning seems to corrolate to the mainstream nature and timeliness of said torret items.
Doe a search on google JJ, but you can give Azureus a whirl:
http://azureus.sourceforge.net/howto_osx.php
You can switch encryption on in Az, so if you ISP does traffic shaping to slow torrent downloads that option can avoid slow downs.
Sad to say I prefer the real thing so haven’t enjoyed the pornographic wonders of Behind the Green Door.
I haven’t either, and it’s not listed on Netflix. =(
This is a test message, looks like the website has stopped accepting comments.
Or WP doesn’t like the Tor link.
I shall try again.
Might be worth installing Tor:
http://tinyurl.com/yux5t8
and activating it if you visit torrent sites like mininova.
Work is melting my brain. To.. Many.. Submittals.. Re.. Submittals.. Kirk.. Out…
Mine’s been a puddle of goo for a while now.
They came;
They quoted;
I signed the contract.
Now we’ll have a warm house and hot water, but no money. Is that a fair trade?
Brain, brain. What is brain?
So was in the the ball park range of 10 grand TEB?
…and by furnace do you mean something you chuck firewood or coke in and not just a gas fire connected to the mains supply.
That tin of cold baked beans that rests between the ears.
Van, we have (and will be getting) a forced air furnace, not something that we have to do any physical work to get heat from (i.e. firewood – needs chopping, and then throwing in the fireplace).
Yes, we were close in price – it will come to about $8,500. But we will be eligible for about $750 in government rebates, bringing the price down further.
We are very happy to go with a tankless hot water system, though. I loves me loooooooooogn showers.
Haven’t even fully caught up on today’s nipples yet – but my heart weeps with joy at the outpouring of anti-Avery sentiment. Amazing that this guy is SO low-class, that a rule needs to be made to tell him how to behave. Unsportshamsterlike conduct.
Palooza update: Southland Tales appears to have pulled waaaaaaaaay ahead. Voting ain’t over until next week, but that looks like the one we should start prepping.
This is the hot water system we’ll be going with.
http://www.foreverhotwater.com/
Oh, I lied. Here’s their official site
http://www.rinnai.us/Products/water_heaters/overview.aspx
Actually, I don’t think I’ve heard of Southland Tales. Is it this one?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0405336/
That’s the one TEB.
That hot water heating system is teh excellent, TEB. Holy crap though, 8 grand hurts.
Yes, that is Southland Tales. From the guy who made Donnie Darko. And actually, until following TEB’s link, I’d never known this:
“In addition to the feature film, an expanded version of Southland Tales will be presented as a six-part interactive experience with the prequel saga to be published as three separate 90-130 page graphic novels, each written by Kelly. The graphic novels will be released over a six month period early in 2007 leading up to the film’s release with the feature film comprised of the story’s final three chapters.”
Do those exist? Had anyone read them? Can anyone recommend them? Do we really have to watch a movie with Justin Timberlake in it?
and furnace sounds far too dramatic for a gas heater.
I’ve never actually seen the prequal but Amazon has it
http://tinyurl.com/6cx89t
That’s Amazon Canada, btw.
When were we thinking of doing movie night? If I order them, it will take a couple of weeks to come in. (assuming that’s the one that wins.)
4 – 7 weeks according to Amazon’s site :)
You’re right, Van. Furnace is pretty dramatic compared to gas heater, but it’s also cooler to say. “I have a FURNACE”.
…. must be a Canadian thing.
Exactly howdo I go about making someone “Roo the day” ?
… and wouldn’t it be “rou” or maybe “rouge” ?
Isn’t Roo, the son of Kanga? (see Winnie the Poo)
(I think it’s actually “rue”, J0e)
All right, already! (silly hamster), enough of this messing around. I have laundry to do.
Until tomorrow!
Who has incurred your wrath jj?
That in itself is saying too much on the mater!
So instead I shall steer the topic to babes who like to Rouge the day.
hmmmmm. Would that be Rougediem?
“Roo” the day. hmmm… makes me think of that classic arcade game “Kangaroo” LOL
It’s better then making them “Pooh the day”
^You don’t know how close I came to making that statement. LOL
Roo the Pooh? Is this some sort of slash thing?
I probably should have put a warning before that one. Apologies to anyone who shot liquid out their nose…..
What a disturbing concept.
Tweet: Just finished recording and sending in new Deadpan content. Off to attempt to plan the rest of my Script Frenzy script. Step One: Stop using the screenplay template. I’m not writing a screenplay.
Bedtime. Some good progress was made on plans for the rest of my script. Yay! :-)
Yea Amy!
What was disturbing, the slash, or the nose?
:)
It has quite a nose … and the finish has sort of a woody, nutty, minty piquant.
Goodnight mush
Morning Pan, another grey day in this part of the uk.
Talking of Roos, do a search on youtube for Skippy the Bush Kangaroo…..be amazed or appalled at the Australian version of Lassie….
I gotta go poo, but may try to hold it for little longer. :{
OK, gonna go poo now. Bye.
Your Deadpan vampires wish Deadpan a good evening
Your Smarty Hotties have made the complete transformation into nocturnal beasts… imagine the vampire porn that we could inspire!
Dre sez: I love good vampire porn
I know you do babe :) She is a sicko.
Dre sez: am not!
It’s Wednesday.
I gotta pee.
Welcome to the last pee of your …
Speaking of getting pee’d on -
As some of you may be vaguely aware, In 2009 TV stations will have to STOP broadcasting in their standard format and ONLY broadcast in a “DTV” format.
What this means to you an me is that if we have a TV that wasn’t purchased in the last few years and doesn’t have this specific capability … it won’t work. At least the TV won’t receive broadcast signals, not with having a converter box.
For months they have been advertising that if you have cable you will be “OK” but everyone will receive a $40 coupon from the government to buy a converter if you get your signal over the air.
Just now I was reading that at least one cable company was planning on charging it’s customers to “rent” their converter box … per month … per TV.
All of this is annoying enough but if you understand WHY the country is doing this then it is even more annoying. This whole thing was pushed through by the Telecom industry who wants the broadcast frequencies currently used by TV stations for their own use.
So the government, at GREAT cost to the taxpayer, is giving it to them.
That’s right, in order to allow them to increase their profits, you and I will be covering the cost of converting our own TV’s (or having to buy new ones) as well as paying (through our tax dollars) for those who get their signal over the air.
Most major networks have been broadcasting a companion “DTV” signal for about two years now. So those people who care enough to view this signal … have already bought the equipment to do so.
Now however … EVERYONE will be required to pay (one way or another) to have the TV signal removed from it’s legacy bandwidth to make room for the mega corporations like AT&T, Sprint and Nextel to increase their quarterly profits.
Anyone care to guess why the companies who will profit from this aren’t paying for it (even though they would just write it all off as a business expense) ?
Morning Pan!
I spent the first hour or so of the morning looking for Folly one and Folly 2 (also known as the snakes) who escaped sometime during the night..
We still haven’t found them, but I stopped because I have work to do. Will have to continue looking later, if the cats don’t get them first.
It’s happening in the UK as well JJ.
Not to bothered about it personally as my TV already has freeview built in. Also it is a way of getting people to move to digital TV at a much faster rate than if the left the analog channels on (a problem that DAB radio is having now). Yes I’m sure their motives aren’t pure, but DTV for me gives a much better picture quality than analogue reception does.
Good ole youtube:

*sigh*
1)I am crushed by the two-face-edness of the situation. When ever we talk here about regulating Health care providers so everyone gets basic health care … Corporate America screams bloody murder. The cry that the market forces will determine what the public really wants.
When government interference results in a profit for corporate America though … it is all OK.
2) Government mandating an aesthetic upgrade at the user’s expense? Where does THAT stop.
Betamax was a much better format then VHS. If the government had started THEN forcing the public to pay for mandated upgrades to entertainment formats every time there was another technological improvement … how much of everybody’s income would have to be dedicated to this.
As I said before, if you think the aesthetic improvement of this luxury item is worth it then feel free to spend the money.
Me? I take offense at being forced to pay to make people upgrade a luxury item for the economic benefit of Corporate America.
Yea! I got a new toy to help me in class!

It may also help me record audio content that doesn’t suck ass.
That’s pretty cool ditto. I’m looking forward to hearing your new content. I myself would like to get one of these.
http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Tascam-DR1-Portable-Studio-Audio-Recorder?sku=241890
But it’s about twice the price I would want to spend for something like this.
Yeah, that looks really cool, Rhettro. I didn’t want to buy anything fancy. Since I already have an iPod, I thought the Belkin attachment would be a cheap way to record the lectures I have to go to. That way I don’t have to worry about taking notes with my wrecked wrist.
So I can still get the Murder She Wrote program on my black & white television?
Not picking on Republicans in general, but this administration has made its agenda from day 1 to rob from the poor (and the middle class, and the moderately wealthy) to give to the massively rich.
ditto – Those iPod recorders look sweet. I’d love your product review, after you’ve given it a few test drives. Mainly, I’m curious about battery life.
I lurve xkcd!
http://xkcd.com/411/
I was considering something to record podcasts and live music with that was portable ditto. I think something, like what I posted would be ideal, but it’s kinda overkill at the moment. Perhaps your belkin thingy would be a nice middle option.
So anyway I stumbled on this thread.

I made it three pages without laughing, I think. Until I saw the rapist image. I’ll wait until lunchtime to get through the whole thing.
Jack- The Digitial Conversion legislation was passed in 1979 and was delayed in the 90′s. The idea was that a certain percentage of the C-Channels would be used to improve the first responder network, and the rest would be sold to the highest bidder. Whether that actually happened or not I’m not fully versed in the current affairs of it.
But this one is far from a Republican thing. A more appropriate vein of frustration would be the Bear Sterns bailout and McCain’s proposals to fix the housing industry that STILL benefit corporations over individual people.
Ok, I give up! We’ve spent all morning and part of the afternoon looking for these damn snakes.
I think I have to accept the fact that we’re going to have a couple of dead snakes in our walls. :(
ZP has been on a roll!

That was cute, Ditto. I never got into Condemned (1 or 2). I don’t do first person games real well.
The Digital Conversion Act was passed in 1998.
“The idea was that a certain percentage of the C-Channels would be used to improve the first responder network, and the rest would be sold to the highest bidder.”
That was the “wrapping” they put on this dead fish. Even if you wanted to stand up against the telcom lobbiests you didn’t dare do so for fear of NOT supporting the first reponders in the face of TERRORISM!
However, the funding was never allocated for all of the new technology that the first responders would need to utilize this new frequencies so that was pretty much just a smoke screen.
BTW: A small group of polititions worked for years to get funding for PBS cut under the guise of fiscal responsability but it turns out their real mission was to get public broadcasting kicked of the airwaves so that THOSE channels could be given over to the Telcom industry.
In the case of PBS though … they were dealing with an end user whose demographic was a bit more educated, wealthy, and activist then your average TV viewer.
… my mistake
I just did a little more reading.
http://tinyurl.com/473h8p
The final conversion act was passed when it was tucked inside the “Deficit Reduction Act of 2005″ … because what politician is going to vote AGAINST reducing the deficit!
LOL
BTW – $990,000,000 tax dollars (I guess they thought a 1 billion dollar figure would have a taint to it) were allocated to providing $40 vouchers for D to A converter boxes. What corporation makes those little jewels I wonder? I should buy stock.
My head just exploded.
TMI
Well I think I would be tempted by a ZP T-shirt.
Dre, you have anything to do with this??

Just want to say that I agree with everyone else. This is a gross abuse of both tax money and government power.
I’m laying free of research but I distinctly remember the initial digital conversion act being passed in 79. Its been revised several times since.
And Justin Timberlake only narrates for the most part, when they do show him he’s both horribly scarred and completely stoned. You hardly notice he’s there amidst the other insanity.
I have less problems with Justin Timberlake as an actor, than a singer. ;)
Certainly not as bad as the New Kids on the Block…shudder!
This is the last New kid on the block for the rest of your life.
Does anyone here have the skilz to do ZP-esque animation?
(the time to do it is an entirely different question.)
Instead of these long, head exploding posts, would it be more fun if I made them into snappy, snarky, animated rants … ala zeropunctuation.
just thinking is all.
JOe: I think this might give you the basics for flash animation

The Flash animation is probably a lot easier than trying to talk that fast and that witty for as long as he does.

Dub’s on a “roll.”
So my old and blind dog Patsy has decided to start barking until someone plays with her… at 2:00AM… every night. *grrrrr* Someone could push me over with a feather.
Are you sure?
Do you know what I charge for that (I do supply my own feather) ?
I can’t say I’ve seen your rates. What species of bird does the feather come from?
“Swallow” of course.
African or European? *snicker*
Evening, Pan.
This is the last John Adams miniseries of my life.
I mean, welcome to the last John Adams miniseries of my life.
Sheesh, two beers into the evening, and I blow a good joke . . .
Today when Keith the sales guy went to International Dairiy Queen down the street on a sales call, he brought back a gigantic bag full of Dilly Bars.
Also, at one point today I handled an 8″ floppy disk. Didn’t actually do anything with it, but held it, marveled at it, and then put it away…
Thank you Rhett … I knew I could count on you!
Is there such a thing as a USB to SCSI cable ?
I’ve never seen one Joe, but the best place to search is Ebay.
Thanks Dub.
The answer I sought was there!
I just posted an audio update at FPR, if anyone is interested.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmm Scotch
Wha … who???
I detected someone enjoying Scotch!
The closest I’ve gotten to Scotch around here is Nyquil. Blech. Podthroat this week, think we’re gonna see an Unshow. And I’m calling the comments at 576. Apologies, all. Next week will be a freakin bonanza.
