Good evening. Welcome to Hacker Public Radio. My name is Becky. My name is Mike. I'm
|
||
|
|
Ken. And I'm Philip. I went well. And first of all, I'd like to start off by
|
||
|
|
welcoming in our new halls for this month, CC Music, Dubie and Clevy. So, how
|
||
|
|
is everybody doing? Time, thank you. Okay, first of all, let's do the show
|
||
|
|
review. Has everybody listened to all the shows? Most of them, I think. Yeah, not all
|
||
|
|
most of them. Yeah, pretty much. Well, I've listened to most of the old camp shows
|
||
|
|
done this month. Okay, cool. Well, 1046 was the HPR community news for July 2012.
|
||
|
|
And then we had the following day was the second in the soldering series by
|
||
|
|
Mr. X, which was an audio demonstration of soldering. Now, personally, I didn't
|
||
|
|
think that this was going to be possible, but an actual fact worked out quite well.
|
||
|
|
And I don't know if that's because I have done soldering before or if it's
|
||
|
|
simply because he's very good at explaining as a venue of you listen to that show.
|
||
|
|
I listened to it and it's actually inspired me to go to maplens and buy a soldering
|
||
|
|
line. The only thing the concern was that he, well, not concern me. I mean, you need
|
||
|
|
good tools. So, it's a lot of an investment to buy a good soldering iron that you could
|
||
|
|
do the core temperature. I suppose. I mean, I wasn't inspired that much. I wasn't
|
||
|
|
inspired to get myself at entry level soldering line and start looking at
|
||
|
|
to start looking at it. I've got to say it now where I'm particularly, I'll count
|
||
|
|
me for all the hardware stuff. I started thinking perhaps I should look at
|
||
|
|
it as a hardware stuff because I've not really looked at hardware ever.
|
||
|
|
Yeah. I was actually reading the, well, probably get to it as well, but remind me
|
||
|
|
about it as if Raspberry Pi, Raspberry Pi magazine. I don't know if any of you read that at all,
|
||
|
|
that they have, they're running a series in there on hardware hacking and they use a
|
||
|
|
breadboard. So, it kind of eliminates the soldering issue for you. But anyway, let's get
|
||
|
|
back to the point. Episode 1048 was a welcome return to Mr. Gadgets onto the network
|
||
|
|
here, with another of his drive by Shoals. And thankfully, he's got quite a few more
|
||
|
|
in the queue. This was entitled Get Off This Rock, the premise of which was if we don't,
|
||
|
|
you know, we're not very redundant if the only place we exist as humans and other plants
|
||
|
|
and animals is if we live on this planet. So, the following day was a 1049,
|
||
|
|
since his Thursday, on Camp 11, Laura Chakowsky, live outside of IRC and Floss. And this
|
||
|
|
was put together by Robert Gattling, who unfortunately wasn't that on Camp this year. And then
|
||
|
|
we had 1050, was Tokig, to be news from DeepGeek, a welcome back after long sabbatical. And
|
||
|
|
he was picked up his regular schedule. Then the first from our new host was an intro to
|
||
|
|
the music. And this was a nice show put together by CC Music, with some songs intermingled
|
||
|
|
with updates from the Floss, news from the Floss community. I particularly liked two, the
|
||
|
|
first two songs. I'm particularly liked the second two songs, but you know, there you
|
||
|
|
go. That's what you have with CC Music. Any of you into Creative Commons Music at all?
|
||
|
|
Yes, we are, aren't we Philip? Yeah, we love a bit of free music. Listen to Dan from
|
||
|
|
Linux Outlaws. Does he write whole radio? So, that's pretty good.
|
||
|
|
You've also got John Spreaks, John the Nice Guy Spreaks, that does CC hits.
|
||
|
|
Both of those shows have been syndicated here on the syndicate Thursday at the Hacker
|
||
|
|
Public Radio. Isn't there also a new one called the Bugcast?
|
||
|
|
That's correct, yep. Well, I don't know how new they are, but I think we've sent
|
||
|
|
the kids on recently. So, moving on, we had Linux in the shell.
|
||
|
|
Oh, Hang on a second. There's free music, a professor click. Have you ever listened to his
|
||
|
|
stuff? That's absolutely amazing. I paid money for that because it's a quality, which
|
||
|
|
is better than most of the crap that's available in the charts at the moment. So, that's
|
||
|
|
good stuff. So, professor click, looking up on Google. Well, is that a Bugcast or just
|
||
|
|
an artist? Yeah, that's the name of the artist, so he
|
||
|
|
releases most of his stuff on, but I'm pretty sure it's creative comments, so it's definitely
|
||
|
|
free, but you know. It is creative comments, Dan plays it quite a lot on
|
||
|
|
right, whole radio. Yeah, I thought I heard of him. The website is Professor
|
||
|
|
KLIQ, that's Kilo Lima, IndigoPubek.com. Then we had the following day was Dan's
|
||
|
|
continued 13th show on HBR, Linux in the shell, the top of top, and this was a in-depth
|
||
|
|
look into one of the most used commands on Linux, explaining what all the features of
|
||
|
|
top are. Yeah, I quite like that one because it's a command I've not really used before,
|
||
|
|
but I've actually started to use it because my PC is getting really slow, and I've just
|
||
|
|
found that by using it. It's Norseless, which is taken on my CPU and stuff, so it's
|
||
|
|
really good to know. I've done a brilliant job there. The covered areas there that I've
|
||
|
|
been using top for a long time, trying to control multi-using Linux systems and so forth,
|
||
|
|
never really understood all that it showed. Just looked at the guy who was hogging the CPU.
|
||
|
|
I thought Dan was a great job explaining every time the detail. He is absolutely excellent
|
||
|
|
going through each of the commands, and not in this one, in the next episode 14, which is 1062,
|
||
|
|
which we haven't got yet. It was the first time I seen him come across one of the options
|
||
|
|
where he didn't fully understand what was going on about it and I thought, yes, last, at least
|
||
|
|
he is human. Okay, well, getting back to the plan, which is 1053, which was Zoak with a question
|
||
|
|
also. Welcome back to Zoak. Zoak's question was essentially, do we need a charity for podcasters?
|
||
|
|
So what do you think? I think yes. Charity as in different than sort of using flatter or any kind
|
||
|
|
of donations mechanism on their site. I think the point was, yeah, a charity that would have
|
||
|
|
something like a 502C or 802C, whatever the US tax deductible for charities thing is,
|
||
|
|
then you could donate and it would be spread amongst podcasters. But as you say, Becky, I was
|
||
|
|
thinking while listening to it, yeah, would flatter or not allow you to do it like that.
|
||
|
|
The other rest, I mean, I left a comment on this episode. One thing that sprung to mind was,
|
||
|
|
isn't this the kind of thing that Linux fund is for? Tell us more. There is a charity already
|
||
|
|
to fund open source projects, Linux fund, and it currently funds things, I believe it's blender
|
||
|
|
and audacity or I think it's definitely blender, but there's a bunch of projects that they fund.
|
||
|
|
Would podcas not qualify as projects in this sort of arena?
|
||
|
|
They might very well do, but yeah, again, it's spurred some debate whether podcasters should be
|
||
|
|
funded. I don't actually know. I always look lowly on the contributions that I've made and I would
|
||
|
|
hate to think of somebody diverting money away from me, away to me, for instance, instead of
|
||
|
|
giving it to what I would consider myself or for foundations like they, accessible computing
|
||
|
|
foundation, for instance. I think the only trouble would be if we think about how our charity
|
||
|
|
organisation as a set up or certainly in the UK, the actual bidding of the money in that fund,
|
||
|
|
you know, you're in danger of making something so complicated that actually it's hard to manage.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, exactly. But nonetheless, a very interesting question. And the following day, we had another one
|
||
|
|
of the Ogcamp 11 shows, which was Becky Hugg, Barefoot and Cyberspace. The day after that was
|
||
|
|
Talk Geek to Me News. And then the following week was a complete Ogcamp week day one,
|
||
|
|
then we had Simon Fipps, a new show by Dooby, who was actually down in the booth beside us
|
||
|
|
at the exhibition area. And I convinced him to record a show on Submitted, so that was a
|
||
|
|
direct new contributor. Then we had Hardware Hacking and then we had the evening show,
|
||
|
|
the morning show of the Sunday and on the Friday, then we had the farewell. So that was the week
|
||
|
|
of Ogcamp. Can I just say that it worked really well this year, the way you did it, almost like
|
||
|
|
sound bites, so rather than long protracted interviews linking together lots of sound bites and it
|
||
|
|
did, it gave a good feel. Well, thank you very much, Becky. I actually promised far too much last year,
|
||
|
|
two people, which is the reason why, well, some of the things just to explain to people,
|
||
|
|
if this is the first time they listen to Hacquabwe Radio or if they joined us in the last year,
|
||
|
|
last year we didn't have that idea where you could reserve a block as such. Well,
|
||
|
|
we had it when I proposed it to the email list. And if you want to be part of, as I jokingly
|
||
|
|
said to Becky earlier on, the HPR Parliament, you can join the mailing list and you get an equal
|
||
|
|
say with everybody else and how HPR is wrong. And we agreed there that if somebody's going to
|
||
|
|
take the time to go to a show, to record interviews, then that they would be allowed to have a week
|
||
|
|
of shows after they come back. But more to your point, this time I didn't make any promises that
|
||
|
|
I was going to edit in shows or do accessibility versions of shows or tags or stuff like that.
|
||
|
|
It also must have made it easier for you, though, to actually keep the interviews sort of more
|
||
|
|
short and punchy because you knew, you know, how you were going to release them, you already had that
|
||
|
|
plan. No, I didn't. I just winged it. Was that off the car? Well done. Well, you think I planned
|
||
|
|
stuff? Keesh. I know you don't plan, Ken. Thank you very much. My feed and humanity is a store.
|
||
|
|
I'm sorry. Oh, the reason I know is because I just came over to your booth just to say hello
|
||
|
|
and have a chat. Or within like two seconds, I had a microphone in my face. Now, you can possibly
|
||
|
|
plan that. Thank you. I'm sorry, I'm in action with Steve as I've been doing machines.
|
||
|
|
He was like a podcasting robot. Exterminate. I think one year, though, I will try and give
|
||
|
|
a proper interview, Ken, as opposed to me just looking startled every time you put that microphone
|
||
|
|
in my face. Well, unfortunately, my mic is a bit intimidating because it's very directing through,
|
||
|
|
it's a very directional. And if it isn't right under your nose, then what happens is it fades away
|
||
|
|
very quickly. I'm using a Zoom H2. And so much so that one of the guys I was interviewing, I
|
||
|
|
wanted to say which kept walking away and we were about 10 meters at the end of the interview,
|
||
|
|
we were about 10 meters away from where we started to to such a point where I had to hold
|
||
|
|
us hand and pull them closer to the mic. Is it working? Backing us into corners. Yeah, you give us
|
||
|
|
nowhere to escape to. I have my evil plan. I think I should take responsibility as well.
|
||
|
|
So the next time it happens, Ken, I'm just going to punch you straight on the nose and say come
|
||
|
|
back in half an hour once I've composed my thoughts. Sure thing. David, did you want to say something
|
||
|
|
or? No, sorry, I was just suggesting my mumble settings. Not a mother. Okay, then moving on,
|
||
|
|
we had talk, give to me news, which was moved thanks to DeepGeek again for allowing us to bump
|
||
|
|
that out to the Monday. And then we had Linux in the shell, which was the bottom of top. And as I was
|
||
|
|
saying, Dan, this was the first time when he got into the kernel flags or something that he actually
|
||
|
|
went into the source code of the, you know, the actual.se.h files to get to find out what it
|
||
|
|
were. And it was the one time I felt that he was kind of threading on uncertain territory. But
|
||
|
|
my god, the amount of knowledge that that guy has is amazing. And then 1063 was Freedom and Licensing,
|
||
|
|
Ahuka, who was responding to using HPR as a platform to respond to the Linux action show,
|
||
|
|
who had, who had done an interviews with Richard Stormon and subsequently released
|
||
|
|
source code under the GPL. And I believe subsequently has returned it back to being proprietary
|
||
|
|
licensed, which was an interesting discussion on itself. And then we had 1064, which was the
|
||
|
|
AgCamp 11 discussion panel. And we still have more interviews from last year still in the queue
|
||
|
|
because I promised people to release them along with their shows. And then I promised other people
|
||
|
|
that I would release the shows only release the presentations if I had the slides translated. So
|
||
|
|
that's quite a lot of work. So that's why it's taking that amount of time. And then finally,
|
||
|
|
we had Levy with 1065, a wireless tip, which is officially the shortest hacker public radio
|
||
|
|
episode ever. Congratulations, Levy. Yeah, go, Levy. It's that because he had a bottle of
|
||
|
|
doom bar to get to. Thank you for the beers again to Clevy. The beers were awesome guys, thanks.
|
||
|
|
Beer's, hot beers, do we speak of? Clevian Marshall. I was just sat outside at AgCamp
|
||
|
|
and Clevian Marshall presented me with a Tesco's bag full of beer. It was amazing.
|
||
|
|
So I had to drink it. Oh, thank you very much, buddies.
|
||
|
|
Well, we took it all the way home with us. On the train.
|
||
|
|
We got a few odd looks because I put it on the table and started photographing it. But the
|
||
|
|
I did actually share it with Becky. So it was really nice as well. It's a proper nice
|
||
|
|
real ale from down in Hobbitland where they live down in coal. Oh, very nice, very nice.
|
||
|
|
Because I'll tell you one thing, the beer was very suspect there.
|
||
|
|
At Liverpool, definitely. Yeah, I mean, you have to, I really hit, well, for a start it was
|
||
|
|
really cheap. So the second it didn't taste like much. And for a third, you had 400 geeks all
|
||
|
|
looking all up until three or four o'clock in the morning drinking. Yes, we're able to have
|
||
|
|
coherent conversations. Yeah, there's something wrong there. There was actually, Becky was,
|
||
|
|
she was looking at the website for the hotel that we stayed in and that hosted all the parties
|
||
|
|
and stuff. She was saying that when you book in, you can pay a five, you can pay five, a five,
|
||
|
|
and you receive a bracelet. And from that point on, you get every drink you buy for a pound.
|
||
|
|
Well, that's interesting. Yeah, it wasn't very well advertised to us.
|
||
|
|
You're all dumbstruck now, aren't you? Don't want to? Then shocked and stunned. Although,
|
||
|
|
again, having drank the beer. Yeah, good, yeah, good point. Okay, let's move on to
|
||
|
|
to some tanks. Again, I wanted to thank David Whitman for chipping in for the banner. You know,
|
||
|
|
the big banner that we had there that was sponsored by David Whitman. And that was impressive.
|
||
|
|
It was even on, it was like looking professional as well. But like Edgepull was a proper professional
|
||
|
|
Exhibitor. What do you mean? I'm a professional exhibitor. I'm shocked. Thank you very much, Mike. I'm
|
||
|
|
really, really hurt to the core. But no, it was, it was fantastic, featured heavily also on
|
||
|
|
Dan's day one roundup thing where we had the met interview him into me and me and through him,
|
||
|
|
which may have sounded a bit odd to people if they hadn't known what was going on, I guess, on my end.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, no, I watched, I mean, the fans put the video up on YouTube anyway, so yeah, it might
|
||
|
|
be better if you look at that. But for, yeah, that was fantastic. And I would like to thank
|
||
|
|
personally, somebody who's on call here, Mr. Dave, for helping me out with a podcast list.
|
||
|
|
Thank you very much. I know, thank you on very, very rough to show. You're most welcome. It was
|
||
|
|
quite fun. Any more projects like that just let me know. I think we, I really like to get that
|
||
|
|
tidied up, so it could actually be run automatically. It's actually a lot of people seem to like it.
|
||
|
|
For some reason, just to be clear, the information and vast majority of that list has come from
|
||
|
|
the linuxlink.net. Dan Washco again from linux and the shell and the linuxlink.net,
|
||
|
|
has put together that. And I was sitting there one night thinking, okay, I want to give something
|
||
|
|
out to people so that, you know, here's a list of podcasts. Oh, thanks. Interesting. And if you're
|
||
|
|
interested in doing a podcast, here's our business card and how you can start doing it. So it was
|
||
|
|
a good way to kind of engage people as they walked past the booth. So LT.01, you can feel free to
|
||
|
|
join in. We're recording the hacker public radio community news if you want to join in. Feel free
|
||
|
|
to. And where was I? Yes. So it worked out very well to be able to hand out that list to people
|
||
|
|
and, you know, get them, get them started. Are you planning to, I know you got it on your
|
||
|
|
blog, the end result. Are you planning to keep it up to date there or put it on HPR or what?
|
||
|
|
What I would actually like to do is have the the back end thing and just give that to Dan
|
||
|
|
so that he could cron tab that script and then write, you were saying that you could do a HGML
|
||
|
|
thing. So write that in the format that Dan could use. Now he separates them out based on
|
||
|
|
linux shells and then other shells. So we would then need to look into the RSS feed if we could
|
||
|
|
identify the linux shells from the other shells or whether that would be some metadata we'd need
|
||
|
|
to add to the, um, to the yet another backup language file. Okay, okay. We can talk about it
|
||
|
|
on mumble press. Yes, indeed. How was amazed at how many there were?
|
||
|
|
Yeah, well, we had them sorted by last published date. So, you know, they're active. So the newer ones,
|
||
|
|
the ones that have released were further up, but it still got you still like just to explain
|
||
|
|
to people what I produced was a, a four booklet thing. So, a, four is like a letter page for the
|
||
|
|
US listeners and it was printed on both sides with four two sheets per page. So when you folded it
|
||
|
|
in the center, landscape, printed landscape, you can fold it over to make it into a little booklet
|
||
|
|
four page booklet. So I managed to kind of through hacking font sizes and stuff, managed to get
|
||
|
|
it onto a four page booklet and the writing was really, really small, but it was, it was quite
|
||
|
|
nice to be able to fit everybody in. And some other news is the, um, the deep geek again for
|
||
|
|
bumping your show. And I also met a mess of deep geeks talking to my news, which was the last show
|
||
|
|
that I published before I went to Alcamp. I put the wrong show notes out. And the MQ is not up
|
||
|
|
today. The encoding is not finished because I was at Alcamp. And for the coming months, I'm not going
|
||
|
|
to be doing any development, any other stuff, other than posting the shows and, you know, the regular
|
||
|
|
maintenance of all HPR because I need to do stuff for work and life. And for those of you who
|
||
|
|
are worried about deviates and a lot of Linux links show podcast, I was speaking to him on another
|
||
|
|
matter and he's doing fine, just doing a little bit of podfitting and, but his health is fine and
|
||
|
|
he himself is fine. So that's all I can use there. And one other thing is the new year show,
|
||
|
|
which Becky and Phil were on last year. Well, I was thinking about it and I was thinking perhaps
|
||
|
|
we could do a 24 hour show this year. 24 hours? Yes, indeed. And that's not as bad as you think,
|
||
|
|
because last year, actually, when I went to bed, I came up the following morning. The guys were
|
||
|
|
still going, but the 24 hour show, if we started it when he's new years in Tuvalu, if it's still
|
||
|
|
only 11 o'clock in the morning for me, 12 o'clock for you guys. And I was speaking to some of the
|
||
|
|
other podcasters and they also mentioned that it would be nice to get on board with that. And
|
||
|
|
this is an open invitation, it's not a HPR thing, but it would be nice to have like a year roundup
|
||
|
|
from the podcasting community. So I'll probably be contacting everybody on that list to see if they
|
||
|
|
wanted to join, because I'm just doing a 24 hour mumble extravaganza type of thing.
|
||
|
|
Without alcohol involved on New Year's Eve, oh my god. There's always alcohol on New Year's Eve.
|
||
|
|
Well, that's required. It was a hoot last year, actually, I really enjoyed it, so that's something
|
||
|
|
to look forward to, I think. Yeah, I was listening to the New Year's podcast and I noticed that there
|
||
|
|
was a distinct lowering of the tone when you guys came on. There was all of a sudden a massive swerve,
|
||
|
|
yes. I get work, I get work to rest.
|
||
|
|
For people who just listened to the heck of the Grigidio New Year's show from last year,
|
||
|
|
it was a 12 hour extravaganza arranged by Paul Kee. Paul Kee, not Paul Kee. Paul Kee.
|
||
|
|
And everybody was being nice and polite until, well, not until Becky, come on, yes. Becky
|
||
|
|
really accidentally left out an adult word and then there was a question of whether we were safe
|
||
|
|
for work and just to let everybody know yet again, the heck of a Grigidio has got an explicit tag on
|
||
|
|
iTunes, so make from that what you will put proof in the speech of encouragement. Yeah, bitch.
|
||
|
|
Can I just say in my defence that we've been taking part in some podcasts that are very
|
||
|
|
suitable for work, so therefore we do tend to watch our pees and cues and it was just a case of
|
||
|
|
I just sort of asked New Year's Eve alcohol was involved. Can I let slip a naughty and as soon
|
||
|
|
as you said I could, that was it, full on Tourette's. I was saying it made me shorter, but it
|
||
|
|
wasn't actually from you mostly, it was from the other guy. I can usually give it, give us good
|
||
|
|
as I get. Okay, so that's pretty much the community news show. Everyone have a good time or not.
|
||
|
|
A love camp, I did an amazing time and I've had a good night tonight as well.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, Paul is the best. Go ahead, dude. No, I just said it was fun. That's good. I should be back if
|
||
|
|
I'm invited. Oh, you are, of course. No, I mean, let's have a low down dirty chat about a
|
||
|
|
camp and how people were and how you've recovered and stuff like that. I was proper exhausted when
|
||
|
|
we got home on the Monday, on the Tuesday. I think it was tagged as Oglag on Twitter.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, I saw that. Yeah, it was worked. It was brilliant weekend, but it was, I don't know,
|
||
|
|
the combination of talking to people for like near enough, you know, 20, 24, 7. It was like
|
||
|
|
that and the excessive heat. It was just Liverpool. I just melted. I only had to walk like,
|
||
|
|
and that was it, or burst down in sweat. It was horrible, but the weekend was fantastic.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, it was a pretty good day. I mean, my mate was down from Scotland and I just had switched
|
||
|
|
into HB or Maldon. It was just odd. Whatever was a great, it was a really good weekend.
|
||
|
|
There's a definite more relaxed feel this year. I think, like, say, they're going from strength
|
||
|
|
to strength than, you know, improving on any sort of, like, miss not necessarily mistakes,
|
||
|
|
but maybe learning experiences. So it was definitely, like, say, more sort of slicker,
|
||
|
|
smoother, a lot more relaxed. What, Charles, what, um, talks did you get to see?
|
||
|
|
I went to see the apocalypse one. I saw the Stephen Fry one, but to be fair, I tend to go to
|
||
|
|
Ogcamp more for the chatting and the meeting with people. I'm quite aptly sitting outside
|
||
|
|
of a, you know, of a conference room or a talk and just talk to, you know, anyone.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, I did, I did a much of that as well. I, um, also, all the apocalypse one. We've
|
||
|
|
becky sat with Becky and watched that. That was good. I know, I'm now planning to pack my
|
||
|
|
inch kit, which is, I'm not coming home. So, but I think I'll take Becky out. I'll come
|
||
|
|
off as I say. I think I'll take Becky with me. Um, I watched, um, John the Nice.
|
||
|
|
How was the apocalypse on? Um, it was basically, it was about, um,
|
||
|
|
it was, it was huggers, wasn't it? Yeah. Yeah, it was, it was interesting. It was basically
|
||
|
|
loads, you know, talk about loads of different ways and which the apocalypse could happen.
|
||
|
|
And then it basically went in and talked about the culture behind people and
|
||
|
|
organizations and groups, which are preparing for the apocalypse. And I think he ended it with
|
||
|
|
saying that we're all doomed. So it was quite depressing for the first talk that I saw.
|
||
|
|
Then I went on and I watched, um, John the Nice Guy Spricks. He did a talk about, which was
|
||
|
|
quite interesting. It was a talk about how he, because he developed the, um, software for him and
|
||
|
|
his team developed the software for the organizing the actual talks and stuff. Um,
|
||
|
|
help me out. What was it called? Campfire manager. Yeah, that's it. Campfire manager. So his
|
||
|
|
talk was basically about how his team, him and his team worked with, um, version control and
|
||
|
|
how he managed, um, people contributing towards that. So that was a good talk. Um, I found that
|
||
|
|
interesting because I, it's, um, he, he works on quite a small, he was working on quite a small
|
||
|
|
sketch. So it's interesting just to see how other people do that sort of thing, um, in comparison to
|
||
|
|
how I've been working with CrunchBank. So, and then straight after that, in the same room, I watched
|
||
|
|
Nathan Demont do his ogg box talk, which was, it was, but it was just amazing really. I mean,
|
||
|
|
he's just a guy and he gives his talks almost with effortless kind of, it was effortless,
|
||
|
|
the way he talked about how he built this little device, um, completely free and open hardware
|
||
|
|
and open software, just as a, almost, um, what are those little devices that they sell,
|
||
|
|
seriously forgot? They sell Apple sales and, well, iPads. That's it. So it was, um,
|
||
|
|
a completely open alternative to an iPod. It's still pretty much in the early stages of development,
|
||
|
|
but it was fantastic just to see, you know, this sort of thing going on and I think that's what,
|
||
|
|
for me this year, that's what, it was, there was a lot more hardware stuff going on and Nathan's
|
||
|
|
talk was sort of like something out for me. It was brilliant. Yeah, I saw Nathan's talk as well and,
|
||
|
|
I was really impressed with it because it looked like a proper sort of professional printed
|
||
|
|
circuit board type thing. It just looked amazing and I got, I kept thinking, I wonder if I could
|
||
|
|
use record interviews for HPR? Hmm. So yeah, it was really good. From my point of view, Nathan
|
||
|
|
delivered it in a completely non-technical way so that even, you know, someone non-techy like me
|
||
|
|
could actually follow it. Yeah, definitely. It was, um, because to be fair, yeah, hardware guy and
|
||
|
|
some of the stuff that he was talking about went over my head, but it was, he made it really
|
||
|
|
easy to follow, so yeah, top notch. Yeah, I'd agree with that Becky and Phil. I quit, I quite
|
||
|
|
liked the way he, he talked about some of the chips he'd used and then the justifications
|
||
|
|
to, he'd used them to do, like, patent his, and patent some licenses and things. I thought it was
|
||
|
|
quite, quite interesting. Yeah, definitely. So yeah, I'm not sure if there's a video, there should
|
||
|
|
be videos available, all the talks, but it's, you know, if you're going, if you're just about,
|
||
|
|
if you're just going to watch one, I would probably recommend that one.
|
||
|
|
There's still a trick on the other side. And Mike, did you have, um, did you go to any other top?
|
||
|
|
Um, I saw the first one about freedom and licensing and it was, it was kind of interesting,
|
||
|
|
but I mainly just stopped there because that's where the, yeah, the sort of warm up speech from
|
||
|
|
given. Um, I can't remember now what I saw, it all seemed so long ago. But all the talks,
|
||
|
|
I saw were, were fantastic. I really enjoyed them all. Steven Fry podcast or video cast,
|
||
|
|
that was excellent. I did see that online. Oh, do go ahead. No, no, I was, um, all I was going to
|
||
|
|
say was, uh, didn't everybody go and see the quiz, the, uh, the, the three podcast quiz, the, um,
|
||
|
|
the, uh, the, uh, the, the, uh, the whole short quiz. That's right. Yeah. Yeah.
|
||
|
|
Suddenly lost the names of everybody there. Yeah. Did you watch that?
|
||
|
|
I saw that and I, I saw Ron, uh, manning the scoreboard. I thought that was impressive
|
||
|
|
and amazing and just totally, totally appropriate brilliant.
|
||
|
|
Yeah, true slapstick comedy potential that it was fantastic. Yeah, it was really hilarious
|
||
|
|
Yeah, and the the dove from above part as well with the tux from above. Sorry tux, tux from above
|
||
|
|
That's that made me yeah, chuckling. I did think that Pete Cannon was gonna have someone's eye out though
|
||
|
|
The way he was flicking those cards
|
||
|
|
Yeah, he was giving them some money
|
||
|
|
He did mention that as well since since then did they on the um did they um
|
||
|
|
They didn't do a a share of the combined podcast issue or other
|
||
|
|
No, there was a bit of communication from fairly towards the end
|
||
|
|
I think they were going to at the end of the raffle and then they decided not to and I think actually separately
|
||
|
|
UUPC and Linux outlaws have covered this in their show since obcap to explain why
|
||
|
|
But uh, I was well, I was annoyed because I missed the
|
||
|
|
The quiz talk roundup
|
||
|
|
Thank cuz that's the one talk that I I want to go to when we were kind of out on the exhibit exhibitors area
|
||
|
|
And we were really um on the first day we were kind of on the wing and
|
||
|
|
We were a bit out of it. It was only then that I realized that we were a bit out of it that the crew were already
|
||
|
|
Coming over to move us down to the um lower ground floor
|
||
|
|
Where we would be closer to the main auditorium
|
||
|
|
So just spot on on the crew before
|
||
|
|
People start complaining about it. They already have a resolution to the issues or talk about
|
||
|
|
Yeah, that was a good move. So it was uh because the first day it was almost
|
||
|
|
Well, I had trouble finding you on the first day, but the second day everybody was pretty much on that lower floor
|
||
|
|
Unless you were watching you know
|
||
|
|
A presentation in one of the rooms, but on the second day when they moved it all down to the lower ground floor and there was um
|
||
|
|
The exhibit isn't the cafe and everything it was brilliant down there. So
|
||
|
|
Yeah, I was kind of good to done there because at least people had registered done there
|
||
|
|
So they knew where the main hall was and then you okay, well, I know where that is because the geekney carrier was there as well
|
||
|
|
Did anyone spot the wiki house?
|
||
|
|
Because that was something that just seemed to fly under the radar
|
||
|
|
It just all of a sudden and there's a wiki house
|
||
|
|
That's a separate project that's part of um
|
||
|
|
DOES Liverpool or do epic shit Liverpool, isn't it? It's um aid McEwan
|
||
|
|
Is that one that stands for do epic shit Liverpool?
|
||
|
|
Yes, did you not know that
|
||
|
|
It was on the HPR podcast
|
||
|
|
No, I totally missed that sorry
|
||
|
|
Yeah, so does does Liverpool and they
|
||
|
|
Part of that because of open sourceness they have this project called this wiki house and it was being built at the university
|
||
|
|
Not because of odd camp. It's like an ongoing project, but aid McEwan who was upstairs with bubbly no
|
||
|
|
Um, he's part of that. His name was on one of the stannels one the sponsors of it
|
||
|
|
All right, okay
|
||
|
|
That makes sense. They I really really enjoyed doing them and treat by the way just for people
|
||
|
|
To know
|
||
|
|
Every conversation that I had as on camp was essentially recorded and released so
|
||
|
|
if you followed my
|
||
|
|
If you followed the HPR interviews you more or less got everything
|
||
|
|
But I did it on camp short of going getting tea and coffee and visiting all the facilities
|
||
|
|
Ken you didn't record our conversation about sharing a booth next year
|
||
|
|
No, but you can mention that if you wish
|
||
|
|
Okay, so on the way back from well, well, I think it was on the way back from the pub on the last night
|
||
|
|
Was it we sort of like had a conversation about the possibility of sharing a booth in the exhibitors area next year
|
||
|
|
So a hacker public radio combined
|
||
|
|
Consparing type of booth. So
|
||
|
|
That'd be cool
|
||
|
|
Surely that's going to be too much awesome in one place. You can never have too much awesome in one place
|
||
|
|
My two favorite men in one place. It's easy for me
|
||
|
|
but I will
|
||
|
|
I think that was that was the idea it was to have lots of awesome in one place and try and
|
||
|
|
Get people that might be interested in it. I'm completely stealing Ken's fund here because the idea is that
|
||
|
|
all the hacker public radio fans of the world might come over to the booth and
|
||
|
|
Might stumble across crunch bank and that'd be that'd be cool
|
||
|
|
So Phil can we expect a version of crunch bank with all HPR recording tools all integrate to be fit and stuff like audacity and all rest of it
|
||
|
|
No
|
||
|
|
No, I don't know maybe excellent excellent answer
|
||
|
|
Well, we could do us you could do a special
|
||
|
|
Re-bilt remix for just for that. Then can we that'd be cool
|
||
|
|
One thing I do know is that next year I will be
|
||
|
|
Testing my wireless beforehand. By the way people listening to the saga of my wireless it turns out that it is the hardware switch is broken
|
||
|
|
so
|
||
|
|
That's why the Wi-Fi isn't being detected by any distra
|
||
|
|
few
|
||
|
|
But uh yes
|
||
|
|
Um also we did also mention also foster them another large European event which is more convenient to me as it happens
|
||
|
|
Will be an ideal opportunity to try out that shared booth thing
|
||
|
|
Because at fostm I need two people to
|
||
|
|
Court man the booth
|
||
|
|
Although it can also be gumman the booth for anybody listening out there going to fostm
|
||
|
|
I need two people's names to put it down and if core nominal
|
||
|
|
um did uh core nominal did
|
||
|
|
Come over to fostm then uh it would help HPR out greatly because uh
|
||
|
|
Then we would have two people
|
||
|
|
Down there
|
||
|
|
It's under consideration. No seriously. I mean I'm not I'm not I can't commit at the moment to fostm um
|
||
|
|
But I think I'd like to go. I don't know see how things go. We're okay. I think on that one
|
||
|
|
And if all the crunch bang poor members could convince
|
||
|
|
Vince Philip we're to be able to go whether
|
||
|
|
She's standing right next to me. We're just about to troubleshoot her connection
|
||
|
|
We let's big ten port
|
||
|
|
Anyone got anything else to say or anything that we missed
|
||
|
|
Nothing here
|
||
|
|
So with that I will uh thank everybody for
|
||
|
|
um
|
||
|
|
Proporting up with all the archamp content. It was really really fantastic to
|
||
|
|

|
||
