The best thing about the internet is that anyone can put whatever they want on it.
Alas, this is also the worst thing.

Adobe AIR

So I was listening to the Fresh Ubuntu podcast and they were mentioning Adobe AIR and problems they were getting downloading the Linux version.  Now the Linux version is available from here, but I didn't go there first.  I googled for Adobe AIR and found a link to the main page.  This page had a 'Download Adobe AIR now' link which I clicked on to find a page saying.

This is not surprising - I use squid and it lies to web pages!  So I follow the 'Different operating system?' link to find two choices:

My next HPR episode is out

You can find it at the Hacker Public Radio page.  I talk about the hosts file.

The Ep is out

Hacker Public Radio Episode 83.  Although it seems I screwed up and put it on mono.  Which I record it mono anyway as, well I'm just talking and what is the point of doing anything funky with stereo, but I someone put it only on one channel (says the comment).

So I'm really sorry about that - I will try to do better next time!

Doctor Who Fear Factor

Warning - Spoilers if you haven't seen the episode from Saturday - the Sontaran Stratagem.

Anyway the BBC gets various kids to watch it and they mention how scared they are on certain bits in case you want to record it and show it to the kids some other time.  They call it Fear Factor.  Quite simple, rated from five.

Anyway the funny thing here is the phrase they use.  Two parts:

Martha goes with the hypnotised privates.
and
Martha is grabbed by the privates. The boys wince.

They probably should have rephrased that...

New Ubuntu Launch Countdown

I'm running the beta already though and it's pretty cool :)

New HPR Episode... maybe

I've recorded a couple of things for possible episodes. I switched to Ardour because the Ubuntu version of Audacity appears to be a 'beta' although I would call it an alpha - it crashes every few minutes. In fact I had used it for the previous two versions of HPR I did and the second one came out a week after I finished recording it as it took that long to replay it and make sure it sounded good.

So I'm playing around with Ardour (and learning a lot about it) to do a new version or two of HPR.
