Voicemail, podcasting, cellphones,
cameras, etc
12/27/2004 04:59 AM

Adam has ideas about integrating voicemail and podcasting, and I've been having similar ideas about digital cameras and cellphones.

Here's a scenario. I'm hiking on a popular trail outside Sedona, taking pictures, of course. Since this trail is so popular, I pass about a dozen families, couples, solos, families with kids, families with dogs. Okay, as I pass them I can take their picture if they want me to. My camera connects through Bluetooth to their cellphone and transfers the pictures I take. Not sure about all the permissions, it's probably another panel on the Setup screen on my camera.

BTW, Nikon has a much more complex user interface than Apple's and it works a lot better. Same with my Nokia cellphone. All these devices are comparable. And the wifi capabilities these devices are all going to get soon will enable Bluetooth-like features, except without any limit on range. You can synch up with devices anywhere as long as they are accessible over the Internet.

Hey while we're at it I'd like my phone and camera to be bluetoothing the URL of my weblog to anyone nearby who cares.

IM and Voicemail


IM and Voicemail 01/17/2004 11:18 PM

Asterisk Voicemail that reacts to my AIM status: Interesting article on how to use your AIM status to control your voicemail.

It occured to me that my computer already "knows" whether I'm in the office or not because my iChat status (aka my AOL Instant Messenger/AIM status, as they use the same IM network) is automatically set to "Away" if I'm idle, and "Available" when I return. As such, shouldn't my voicemail be able to reflect this — i.e. not bother ringing my phone if I'm not in the office?

SkypeIn and Skype Voicemail Beta


SkypeIn and Skype Voicemail Beta 04/18/2005 08:24 AM
Skype, the Global Internet Telephony Company, announced the public beta launch of SkypeIn and Skype Voicemail, two new premium services available in the latest download versions of Skype software for Linux, MAC OS X, Pocket PC and Windows platforms. SkypeIn provides an affordable, flexible alternative to costly mobile phone roaming charges with SkypeIn personal numbers. SkypeIn customers can receive inbound calls to their Skype client from ordinary fixed telephones or mobile phones while they travel worldwide, providing seamless interconnectivity without having to pay costly roaming charges. Skype Voicemail enables users to manage incoming voicemail messages, making their Skype usage more ubiquitous.

“Skype is setting new standards for modern communications by expanding premium services that extend Skype portability, mobility and ubiquity across a variety of platforms, including the traditional phone network,” said Niklas Zennström, Skype CEO and co-founder. “SkypeIn and Skype Voicemail enhance the basic free Skype and now allows friends, family and colleagues not connected to the Internet an inexpensive and convenient way to contact members of our global user base. With Skype’s new premium offerings, travellers will now be able to save thousands of dollars on roaming charges.”

The new premium offerings coincide with another major milestone for Skype: the 100 millionth download of the software as recorded today. Skype has now enabled more than 7 billion high-quality minutes of talk time for Skype users worldwide, further establishing Skype as the feature-rich communications choice of cost- and quality-conscious users.

Post-circuit-switched voicemail


Post-circuit-switched voicemail 11/01/2003 12:57 PM
Nice rant on how "circuit-switched" thinking is holding back advancement in telephony:
Assume a phone call requires an (extremely generous) 3Kb per second of audio. One hour of stored audio is about 10Mb of data. This is a pretty modest amount by the standards of modern flash memeory. Your mobile phone is perfectly capable of storing all your voicemail. The network is perfectly capable of transmitting the data in a sensible amount of time. Unlike email, most voicemail is listened to -- the amount of wasted download is small...

You should be able to listen to voicemails on your plane journey home. You should be able to reply to them on a store-and-forward basis, even when you're not connected to the network. And most of all, you shouldn't have to use a clunky telephony user interface to navigate a message queue. And you shouldn't be restricted to one device for accessing your own data.

The value of podcasting


The value of podcasting 02/01/2005 08:54 PM
When the buzz about podcasting first started, I wondered what the value of it was. And, even now, some people are still asking that question. I believe I have an answer.

There are obvious ways to criticize podcasting. It’s hard to quote a portion of a podcast. You can’t link to a certain spot in an audio file. Reading text is much faster than listening to it.

It’s kind of like the difference between email and a fax—a fax is a picture of text, while email is text. A podcast is the sound of words.

But all of that is beside the point—the value of podcasting is that people enjoy it. They like the spoken sound of words.

And that’s it. It’s not more mysterious than the appeal of radio. The added bonus with podcasting is that you’re listening to people who don’t have the restrictions of radio. They might even talk about things that interest you.

It’s not a replacement for traditional weblog content. There will always be plenty to read. No worries.

Last night was the last night alone. After this weekend, she'll now sleep beside me - for a long time, I hope. After a flight back from Germany I clambered to my apartment, stood outside in the snowfall and tried to fish my keys from my pocket. A strange thought hit me: "Whee! Outi must be home!" and an unvoluntary, unstoppable, wide grin spread onto my face. Of course, she wasn't - that was the last night - but I realized the simple idea of her being there made me deliriously happy.

I guess I'm still in love.

I think this is another development that should cause Microsoft to catch up to the train because it is already out of the yard!

According to the latest Pew Internet memo, more than 22 million American adults own iPods or MP3 players and 29% of them have downloaded podcasts from the Web so that they could listen to audio files at a time of their choosing. That amounts to more than 6 million adults who have tried this new feature that allows internet broadcasts to be downloaded onto their portable listening device. This will continue to grow as an alternative form of information dissemination for the persons on the go and listening while they are traveling et.al. I have been broadcasting my Current Awareness Happenings on the Internet as a mp3 file for the past three years and the current April 4, 2005 edition (V3N14) and three years of archives is available by clicking here.

The other big news today from BBC Radio & Music Interactive (where I work) is that we're about to open up twenty more programmes - mostly from Radio 4 and Five Live as podcast feeds for people to download. As my semi-ultimate boss said:

"The BBC was the first British broadcaster to podcast when we made In Our Time available last year and this trial will enable us to further explore the editorial, technical and distribution issues involved."

Some of the programmes that you will be able to subscribe to include (in full or part): The Today Programme, The Reith Lectures, In Our Time, In Business, From Our Own Correspondent, Sport sweek, and Fig hting Talk plus highlights and documentaries from Radio 1, 1Xtra and the World Service.

For more information see the BBC Press release and the article in Media Guardian. I'm really excited by this stuff, for a whole range of reasons personally. And with sites like Odeo on the horizon, I can't help but think this whole area's about to explode.

History of Podcasting!


History of Podcasting! 06/17/2005 03:51 PM

Seems someone with an agenda is over on Wikipedia making changes to the History of Podcasting. Specifically removing Dave Winer from all mentions. This is beyond a travesty, and even though the majority of us that have been in the space for a while know the real history, it upsets me to see people using the WiKi to make changes that attempts to write people, that contributed to the success of Podcasting out of existence.

RSS is the Glue that makes Podcasting a unique audio delivery vehicle, and "Dave Winer" is the man behind RSS 2.0, Granted others in the space made significant contributions, but to remove Dave's part from the history of podcasting is wrong and a injustice.

Getting the History right in my book was important, people will be hard pressed to alter what is on paper. [Scrip ting News]

FeedDemon Crack


FeedDemon Crack 06/18/2004 09:27 AM

Dave Winer and Evan Williams commented that the people who shout the loudest are often the ones who have no basis for their anger. I'm reminded of this fact by an email I received this morning. Here's a quote:

"Fix your piece of s--- program! I upgraded to FeedDemon 1.10 and it crashes with 'Win32 device error.' Did you even test this s---?"

I've actually received a number of emails (and one forum post) about this bug, but I have no plans to fix it. Why? Because the error message only appears if you upgrade a cracked version of FeedDemon 1.0. This is a deliberate error message that FeedDemon 1.10 displays when it detects that you upgraded from a specific cracked version of FeedDemon 1.0.

That's right, people who use a pirated version of FeedDemon are emailing me for support. It never ceases to amaze me when people not only steal from me, but also expect me to spend my time answering their questions. And more often than not, the email I've received about this problem reads like something a drunk teenager would write.

I've written about piracy befor e and I'm not planning to start another lengthy rant. But I do have a request for those who have justified their use of cracked versions of my work: don't ask for support. I support my family with sales of my software, and my life is affected - dramatically - by the existence of cracks. Please, if you're using a pirated version of my software, don't expect me to help you.

New Bluetooth Crack


New Bluetooth Crack 06/05/2005 11:47 PM

Happy Friday:

Cryptographers have discovered a way to hack Bluetooth-enabled devices even when security features are switched on. The discovery may make it even easier for hackers to eavesdrop on conversations and charge their own calls to someone else's cellphone.

"Our attack makes it possible to crack every communication between two Bluetooth devices, and not only if it is the first communication between those devices," says Shaked.

Check out the time required to pull this off:

They show that once an attacker has forced two devices to pair, they can work out the link key in just 0.06 seconds on a Pentium IV-enabled computer, and 0.3 seconds on a Pentium-III. "This is not just a theoretical break, it's practical," says Schneier.

"Don't do crack; it's a ghetto drug"


"Don't do crack; it's a ghetto drug" 06/19/2004 04:52 PM

Fifteen of us gathered last night for a screening of the 1992 Tim Robbins political satire Bo b Roberts.  This mockumentary of a folksinging conservative Wall Street trader turned politician has held up surprisingly well.  In the background of the movie, President Bush is in the White House and American troops are about to invade Iraq.  Gore Vidal does a great job playing a Ted Kennedy-style career senator.  The songs are fun but sadly the soundtrack has never been made available.

My favorite part of the movie is when Bob Roberts closes a letter to a 7-year-old girl in Vermont with the admonition "Don't do crack; it's a ghetto drug."

This is the perfect movie for an election-year party.

Slashdot -- Someone Smoking Crack ? 03/11/2003 01:22 AM
Slashdot -- Someone Smoking Crack ? Now I know that the Slashdot audience isn't all that reliable at best. Yes we all read it but we rarely trust it. Still I'd expect a little better than this: The Object Prevalence concept, developed by the Prevayler team, and implemented in Java, C#, Smalltalk, Python, Perl, PHP, Ruby and Delphi, can be a great a solution to this mess. The concept is pretty simple: keep all the objects in RAM and serialize the commands that change those objects, optionally saving the whole system to disk every now and then (late at night, for example). [_Go_] Now that's a cool concept. So I did the natural thing and went and looked for the code. Since I'm a php-head, I figured that I'd look there to start. Nope! According to SourceForge, "This project has not released any files". Well I can get by in Perl so I thought "Ok, not my preference but ok". Nope. Well I think Python is neat and people I respect a lot like it. Additionally Guido has just plain guts to make the decision he did regarding mandatory indentation. Break conventions is hard so I figured I'd look at the Python version. Nope! Well once upon a midnight dreary, ... (bag the mock Poe), I did a lot of Pascal. Nope! It turns out that only the C# and Ruby versions exist. I couldn't get the Smalltalk page to come up so I don't have a clue there. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying anything about the concept but just pointing out that this posting is essentially wrong on many of the major details. And, sadly, it doesn't really surprise me at all.

Madredeus On Crack: A Naifa


Madredeus On Crack: A Naifa 09/14/2004 01:54 AM
As God Is My Cleaning Lady: Crypto-Fado For Bohemian Pagan Popsters. They can't play their classical Fado guitars very well; they have a punky drummer and the Fado singer not only smiles pouts and shakes her hips, but actually seems to enjoy herself! What's become of this country? Are they mad? Reckless, certainly. They call themselves A Naifa and what they've done is taken a massive, ice-crunching Waring Pro blender to all the sacred potions, fruits and flavours of Portuguese traditional music and poured out a vulgar, shameless, disrespectful and utterly delicious shambles of a Pop cocktail. Heresy in old Lisbon? I nearly choked on my 30-year-old aguardente velha, but then realized I was dancing merrily and had already spilt most of it anyway. [Probably not fun for those unfamiliar with the Fado. QuickTime required.]
