This photo I posted on flickr was in Google’s index an hour after I uploaded it. Currently the 7th result for Ontario Milk in a Bag.

Podcaster.fm is a iphone optimized website that aggregates a tonne of popular podcasts, so you don’t have to. Basically, it gives you a very iPhone friendly interface for finding and listening to podcasts.
A common complaint of cranky geeks everywhere, is the iPhone’s inability to sync with iTunes over the air. With podcaster.fm – as long as I’m planning on staying in 3G range – I don’t think I’ll ever worry about syncing my podcasts again. We’ll see.
The first time I used the site I accidentally discovered that when you load an mp3 file directly from a website iPhone’s version of quicktime actually continues to run in the background! I’m not sure if it’s a bug or a feature, but I like it!
The only thing I don’t like about the website is the interface. Switching between pages is really quirky. I don’t know exactly how to describe it… it’s kind of like the destination page loads twice. The navigation itself could be improved somewhat, it’s 4 or 5 taps to find and play a podcast, that’s 2 taps too many.

CAPTCHA FAIL!
If you’re going to invent your own non-standard CAPTCHA, please provide instructions!
I tried entering ALL the letters, ONLY the letters with a mouse pointer and ONLY the letters WITHOUT a mousepointer. Nothing worked.

New Server, New Theme
Finally got around to moving my blog to my own server.
Decided it’d be a good time to switch my blog theme. I’m using the stupidopress theme and the twitter for wordpress plugin. The glossy twitter icon is from aoddesign.
I tried to watch a live stream of Revision 3’s Tekzilla yesterday, at revision3.com/watch.
It was absolutely painful!
I was under the impression that Tekzilla was going to a Live format. To my dismay, they were simply broadcast the recording of Tekzilla. This meant getting to see Patrick Norton, redo portions of the show, over and over and over and over again; and other tedious “behind the scenes” stuff.
Maybe this is just a baby step, testing the waters of their streaming infrastructure. But they’ve certainly got a long way to go before they’re on par with the old TSS.
