By the end of last week, I had more than 10G of audio on my desktop, from various interviews that I had done and not yet edited. This weekend, I got rid of about 3G of that, but there’s still a lot to go. So hopefully there will be new FeatherCast episodes in the next few days. Sounds like David has been recording some stuff too. Not sure which one(s) will get released first, but with ApacheCon US coming up real soon, there’s less need to ration them.

Lightning talks – 10 things you didn’t know your Apache Web Server Could Do
Finally getting around to the lightning talks, and, of course, I’ll start with mine because I don’t actually have to ask permission from anybody to publish it.
If you did a lightning talk, and you’d like to have the recording of it, please let me know, and I’ll get that to you. Or, if you did one and you want me to go ahead and podcast it here, let me know that, too.
And one more …
I really need to get some actual work done this evening, but here’s one more before I go do that.

Garage Band, mod_rewrite, and podcasts
I’ve been trying to convert my mod_rewrite presentation from Dublin to a podcast, complete with the slides from my presentation. I got about halfway through, and decided to do a test export so that I can see what it looks like.
Apparently I have some settings wrong somewhere. The images are getting squished into a frame that is the wrong aspect ratio, and so a lot of the content on the sides of the screen is getting chopped off. I tweaked settings and re-exported, at least getting the slide at full-size, so that it’s not terribly pixelated, but still am losing content from the sides. Not sure I’m going to finish doing it, if I can’t get it to render at full-size, since there’s not much point. So I might end up just posting up the audio without the slides. Unless someone has a suggestion of how to do this.
It’s not much fun testing setting changes, since the export takes about 20 minutes. So I’ll probably do some briefer recordings and see what I can come up with. Meanwhile, I have about half of the talk, with truncated slides, if anyone wants to see it. It’s 73M, so I won’t be putting it up for general distribution until I’ve decided what to do with it.

ApacheCon Musicians
Last night was one of those great ApacheCon moments that I imagine will stay with me for a long time. Several people with a lot of talent – and me – were up until about 1:30 this morning, playing music on a variety of stringed instruments and pipes, and singing. Here’s one example of the music, and hopefully I’ll be able to extract more of them from the hour and a half of recording I have.
