One of the problems with our podcast site is the time it takes to add a station. Most podcast sites just scrape the main ipodder database and put in what they find, but we’ve tried to get more details than you can find just from the directory (such as location and user-defined tags) that aren’t found in the XML. But we finally had to relent and allow for an easier addition process. Users can quickly add their podcasts and we do the heavy data entry at the back end by our parsers. The problem is that itunes tags are a bit non-standard RSS and I haven’t gotten around to fixing that just yet. Next project.]]>

PenguinRadio, I do so in this order: Title File Length Which is what I thought was the standard for .pls files. But when I drag those same .pls files onto itunes, the title gets all messed up in the iTunes display. Not sure why. My project for today I guess.]]>

My ex-girlfriend once witnessed a guy pleasuring himself on the subway, but that isn’t quite the same as the Post’s lists of things not to see on the Subway. There are some pretty stupid people out there, and it seems a lot of them take Metro. I remember a decade or so ago when my ex- was on the subway in the last car. She knew there was a guy sitting behind her in the ‘conducters’ seat (a seat that is only available when the conducters door is open on a car that is not being used for steering) but she didn’t want to acknowledge the guy by looking at him. She rode about a half dozen stops and then finally stood up to leave when she saw that the guy was behind her playing with himself. “Eww!” she said as she left the train, later telling me the same story. “What was he thinking?” she asked of me. “Duh, he was thinking of you” I replied, rather smart-alecky. “EWW!” she screamed again.]]>
