Here we go… es ist erschrenkend was passiert in unserem schÃ¶nen kleinen Bonn. Von Themen wie “der Achse des BÃ¶sen: G. W. Bush, E. Stoiber, J. Ratzinger und O. Bin Laden”, FLO und all’ den anderen guten und wirren Sachen, hier mein absoluter neuer Lieblingspodcast: brotkasten vom phatcafer.de Team! Leute, hÃ¶rt euch das an! Ach und noch was: Bonn recht, der Rest ist nur Inspiration!

That’s all for tonight

RSS 1.0 Enclosure Aggregator

[GNU] — Mon, 07 Feb 2005 22:23:38 +0000

Hello World! This is the 0.2 release of gclosure, a RSS 1.0 and Rss 2.0 enabled enclosure aggregator primarly targetet at Podcast downloading. Basically it’s intention is to bring all the wonderful RDF features to the world of podcasting. It uses librdf and was hacked together with a lot of help of dajobe (once again). First milestone is to see the download counter climbe higher than 3 :) Thanks for feedback…

Three Things I love about podcasting

[GNU] — Sun, 06 Feb 2005 20:12:04 +0000

First of all it is “skip”, which is not really a feature of podcasting but a feature of the media player. At all, it’s a plus for podcasting, because I can’t skip in radio broadcasts or on VIVA…

Second thing is the most obvious: I can take spoken word information with me anywhere I move.

Third and most important aspect is that podcasting has made a hype out of old school and existing technologies. This is great!

So I’m done with podcasting, nice thing to get funny stuff and information. Where is the inovation?

RDF/RSS1.0 podcasting updates

[GNU] — Fri, 04 Feb 2005 15:39:36 +0000

I think I am going to build a podcast aggregator on my own, usage of RDF/RSS1.0 in the podcasting universe must be enhanced… The first step would be a Python console application getting the usual suspect’s podcasts. As it’s beeing Python the natural choice seems to be librdf, so get a grip on Rasqal. With a little help of dajobe I got a SPARQL query to get the list of Enclosures and the Length out of my RDF/RSS1.0 feed. Here is the code:
PREFIX dc: PREFIX rss: PREFIX enc: SELECT ?title ?enc ?len WHERE ( ?item rdf:type rss:item ) ( ?item rss:title ?title ) ( ?enclosure rdf:type enc:Enclosure ) ( ?item enc:enclosure ?enclosure ) ( ?enclosure enc:url ?enc ) ( ?enclosure enc:type ?type ) ( ?enclosure enc:length ?len ) AND ?type =~ /audio/mpeg/

Have a try on it.

RDF/RSS1.0 podcasting

[GNU] — Sun, 30 Jan 2005 11:31:19 +0000

I really don’t know if there are some RSS1.0 aware podcasting clients out there… iPodder isn’t :( but this is for you: flt.mp3 (find it also in the enclosure of the rss1.0 feed for this category).

pod we cast?!

[GNU] — Mon, 17 Jan 2005 00:07:50 +0000

So what is podcasting about? Downloading mp3 file discovered by looking for enclosures in a RSS feed. And it is about regaining control over broadcast (kind of) radio, which is basically a philosophical point.

In general, podcasting is a very convenient way to consume information. aggregation technology for RSS feeds is good and downloading applications such as iPodder help getting all podcasts together.

From my point of view the most time consuming task ist listening… you need to invest 45min if your podcast is 45min (maybe 35min…). So called shownotes help finding stuff that is most interessting, thus having good show notes is a good tool to deliver a high service level to the consumers of podcasts. From my point of view this is a good example: . Topics are very easy to identify and have a time index so it’s easy to jump directly to the topic of my personal interesst.
