it looks right, the was itunes works with podcasts is that you submit the URL of the feed and it "reads" the articles, pulls up all the podcasts within a certain amt of time. Unless they are archived.

hey spriggan were you going to update the page.

[Spriggan]

Just a note that fixing this is on my "to do list for this weekend" I've got one other, all be it big, thing in front of it.

A few thoughts after listening to it:

1) You change how you pronounce your call name Jeffe, you introduce yourself with the Spanish pronunciation then latter on you use an American accent (ie Jeff-e).

2) I don't know if this is against the "rules" of podcasting but there were a lot of white space and stumbling (which is understandable since this is basically one person trying to talk for 10+ minutes), couldn't we edit these things to make them a little more smother and professional?    There really shouldn't be a reason to have Jeffe pausing and then saying "I forgot the name of the book" and stuff like that in the final version.

3) Windows tells me the mp3 is about 11:43 second long yet it's actually about a minute less then that, anyone else getting this problem?

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

1. I think I've always pronounced it that way...

Dead air and corrections are actually pretty acceptable Im not CBS news or Clear channel and right now I am not only talking but my only tech.... still
Other ones will be better trust me this is already miles better than the test one I did and I think I figured out a whole lot... the whole point is to get started.

Also Jam, and I have a plan to use skype to make a real conversational Podcast..

[Spriggan]

1) No Jeffe what I mean is you pronounce 'Jeffe' different ways in the podcast, that's confusing to people unfamiliar with TWG.

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

do I

Hmm I never noticed...

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

well I'll look into it at home

[Entsuropi]

Heh. Conversational podcasts could be slightly confusing - I don't know about Skype but Teamspeak has lag, so that often you think the other person has stopped speaking but is actually isn't. Only way around it is to simply wait longer for people to stop speaking.

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

skype had no lag or didnt when we tried it
3 person conference between Pleasington, Jam and I

We had minor probs, but nothing I couldnt edit.

[Spriggan]

it's not like you can't take out the lag latter on if there is any.

[Entsuropi]

The problem, spriggan, is that the lag makes people cut over each other by accident a lot. Which is harder to edit.

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

however that happened rarely...

[JP Dogberry]

Yeah, that sounds awesome. Skype is excellent for it. The Lag can be edited, and if it cuts over itself, it just makes us sound less professional and thus earns us indie points. And nerds love indie.

[Spriggan]

Ok everything should work now, had to find myself some documentation on apple's RSS extensions before I updated it.

Indie being another word for crap?
