Christmas Music - TRTO Music Supplement #002 Posted

Below is the show notes for this edition (HTML output from Frontier) of my music supplement (here is the direct MP3 download link):


F-Secure: MP3 and video versions of the Data Security Summary 2004

"Audio and video versions of F-Secure Corporation's Data Security Summary for 2004 are now available. Video is available as a Real Media stream here: F-Secure 2004. The MP3 is available here: 2004-wrapup.mp3 

"Speaking about MP3's...we find it be really handy to listen to data security lectures, radio specials and interviews on our iPods or in our cars while doing something else. Places like ITConversations even have separate series for security-related audio. Also lots of the Black Hat Briefings lectures are available as audio (but you do need a Real-to-MP3 converter if you want to take them with you). And Vmyths has great selection of MP3s available (but you do have to dismangle the M3U files to get them)."

  • Frontier Kernel Used for Podcast #014 Show Notes in HTML and OPML

    I finished my last podcast (#014) and I did all my show notes in OpenOffice 1.1.3.  When I tried to get the HTML from that file into TypePad it was a disaster.  Before Tech Rag Tear Outs (TRTO) Podcast #014 I was doing everything in Microsoft Frontpage without any problems.

    So, today I did some much needed mucking around with Frontier Kernel Win32 release, and I am happy to say #014 show notes were "redone" completely in Froniter.  And I was able to get the Outliner in Froniter to spit out some good HTML. And I think a viable OPML file.

    Orange County Podcast Dinner Feedback

    I had a great time at the first Orange County Podcast User Group dinner held last night (Thursday).  I got to meet Tim Bourquin, Emile Bourquin, and Michael Geoghegan.

    It was really neat to spend some time with others who are dedicated to this new medium of podcasting, and in working together to learn a better tradecraft.

    I highly encourage anyone who is doing and/or listening to podcasts to try to get something like this going near where they live.
