Replay Radio geek solutions to geek
problems
09/21/2004 06:38 AMThe building I work in does not receive Radio receptions real good.
The guys and I in the office like to listen to a particular radio show
and we knocked our heads together for a while trying to figure out how
to improve the reception. Fixing the reception problem proved to be
impossible but we did find a geeks way to fix the problem.
I purchased Replay Radio and set it up at home to record the
network stream of the program. It saves the recorded stream in MP3
format every 30 minutes and dumps it in a directory that I have mapped
to a FTP server. I have a standard FTP client running on my desktop
that downloads the MP3 to my laptop which is connected to the network
and we load the MP3 up and listen to the program time delay.
My work does not allow for streaming audio. So to avoid confusion I
asked permission to do this via our IT department and promised to keep
the file sizes under control. They thought it was cool and gave the
thumbs up. It worked out so well that several departments do the same
thing and we have 2-3 national talk radio programs to listen to each
day. Albeit time delay but it works. [Replay Radio]
" Replay Radio is an incredibly easy way to record radio
broadcasts. It's like a "TiVo™ DVR" for the radio. Just pick your
favorite radio show, or select a station and a time range, and Replay
Radio records it for you. Hundreds of shows and stations are
pre-programmed, making recording as easy as point and click."

Rebecca Eisenberg (and her husband Curtis) are starting to get out
again. But it's not like Cyborganic days - no - nowadays we use blogs
to promote our parties. And please notice Pierre's hat. And Kaliya's
smile.
Here are three of my favorite peeps: Steve Gillmor, Dan Farber and
the legendary A-List Microsoft Blogger - nobody less than - his
highess - Robert Scoble.
I had the honor of watching over Robert's coat and bag until
someone came along and pushed it aside. I also had the honor of
teasing Steve Gillmor over whether the lower case semantic web would
establish clear meta-data standards for podcasting - faster than the
uPPER CaSE heretics.

09/17/2004 12:59 AMSo I'm eating dinner and half-heartedly watching junk TiVo
recorded, including this episode of Landscaper's Challenge (in case
you're wondering, it's a homeowner thing), and I'm not actually
watching but listening kind of and I hear the client make some jokes
and I know that I know that voice from somewhere. I
start watching it intently and racking my brain for a few minutes.
Where have I heard that before? Books on tape? Narrator in a car
commercial? Cartoon voice? And then it hits me: I've heard this guy
"Al" dozens of times, but I've never seen him before. He does the
commentary tracks on all the Simpson's DVDs.
It was show writer/director Al Jean getting his

04/09/2004 04:05 PMI’m going to be in the Bay Area a couple of days this week, and it
looks like I might be able to get out a bit Tuesday evening. I was
thinking about a geek dinner or something but then noticed that the
A’s are hosting Texas that evening.
I’ve never been to see them, but I’ve been told that it’s a nice
park. On the other hand, on the map it looks like a long way to go;
the game’s at 7:05. If I’m going to have to knock off real early
to make the game, that’s not realistic. So... is this a practical
idea? Anyone else interested?

Sometimes it sucks to be a Geek
Sometimes it sucks to be a Geek
09/20/2004 02:53 AMMy wife and I went to a work related party last night which turned
out to be pretty boring. So much for the $70.00 spent on tickets. We
left early and knew that the sitter was good to go decided to drop in
on a friend of hers.
We get to her house and I am admiring her house and see a big
Master Degree in Education hanging over her computer. I was surprised
to see it actually as we have known her for a while and she had never
mentioned it. Anyway to make a long story short she says hey my PC is
having problems can you look at it.
You guessed it 2 hours later and much under breath cursing I give
up and tell her I need to take it home or we can just pull the restore
disk out and start from scratch. I get this deer in the headlights
look when I explain that her computer has been hijacked and is
infected with nearly every piece of spyware known to man.
1. Virus Definitions 2 years old
2. She had never run Windows Update.
3. Systems is plugged directly into cable modem
4. No Spyware detection software
5. No Firewall
Remember now she has a Masters Degree in Education. She commented I
should open a business and fix peoples computers like hers. I guess my
21+ years working with advanced electronics now makes me qualified to
fix computers. I suppose I could charge her $750.00 for a days worth
of work. All I could do was smile and say drop it by the house and I
will get it fixed for you...
All my wife could say when we left was sorry. I hate stupid
educated people. Sometimes being a geek sucks.

WebTV: A type of internet appliance that used a TV,
instead of a monitor, to display web pages. Initially popular with the
tech-averse when it shipped in 1996, Microsoft would buy the company
for $425 million a year later. But when sales stalled at around a
million users, someone woke up and realized that low-resolution TVs
are lousy at displaying emails and web pages. Microsoft has since
renamed WebTV MSN TV, but it's not any better. If you're reading this
on a WebTV - or an MSN TV -- I'm sorry for calling your kid ugly, but
get yourself a real computer. You'll like it a whole lot
better.

From geek to chef
From geek to chef
09/14/2004 12:46 PMThis past May, when I decided to go on sabbatical I wrote that I
needed a break because:
I had no perspective on anything, I was so deep into my world of
weblogs and tech that I didn't have much sense of what was going on
outside of my geek circles... I've been burning my candle at both ends
for years now, and decided it was time to stop. Emotionally I was
drained. Physically I was drained.
But that wasn't the full truth of it, because there was something I'd
been feeling that I wasn't quite able to admit. It's taken me several
months of time away from computers and tech and geeks to accept the
fact that computers and technology are not my passion.
My interest in the web and tech was always more about people. With
weblogs, it was making it possible for everyone to write online and
share and communicate. And while I was doing it, I really did care
very deeply about my work -- the products we were creating, the people
for whom they were built, and the people who worked with me to build
them. As my career progressed, I pushed myself to be more visible as a
technology speaker, dabbled at freelance writing, and started another
tech company. But something was always missing, and I've realized that
was true passion for what I was doing.
So last night I ended my sabbatical and began my new career doing
something I've always felt passionate about: cooking. I'm working in
the kitchen of a restaurant called Fifty-Six Union (mentioned at the
bottom of thisFeasting on Nantucket article) here on Nantucket.
Yesterday at 3 PM I put on my black chef's clogs, my black pants and
white t-shirt, pulled my Red Sox cap over my hair and got to work
peeling and deveining shrimp. Seven hours later, sweatily scrubbing
the kitchen floors, I was still smiling.
I've learned a lot this summer during my sabbatical but it all can be
summarized in three words: follow your heart.

the nightmares and dreams of coders.
One of the scariest nightmares I've had in the past decade or so was
about me being stuck in a Nethack dungeon. Everything was green on
black (I'd been playing on a Facit VT100-clone) and in 7-bit ASCII. I
distinctly remember being chased by a lower-case x, scared out of my
wits and at the same time feeling ashamed of being such a wimp that a
mere grid bug was a threat.

05/06/2004 09:52 PMMeri has a great post up entitled Because We
Are Geeks, which highlights the differences between geeks and the
rest of the world and asks if geeks are really suited to designing and
marketing products for non-geeks.
I'll openly admit that I'm frequently baffled by non-geeks. How
could anyone not want a USB Devil
Duckie? More to the point, I've often wandered what it is that
makes some people more inclined to technical pursuits than others. Is
it something you've born with, or something that you pick up from your
surroundings? I attribute a lot of my geekiness to exposure to both
Lego technic and a C64 from an early age, but would I still have been
drawn towards geeky endeavours if I'd spent my childhood kicking a
football around instead? It's nice to know that Google's Larry Page
was influenced by lego as well.
