More on iTunes 4.9 - New Podcasts to Your iPod Shuffle
[Updated 2005-Jul-01]
To fill the shuffle with the latest podcasts based on what I discovered and posted previously:
1. Create a Podcast play list
2. Select all of or just the desired podcasts in the Podcasts Library (that is the list of iTunes Source/Playlists on the left). You don’t have to expand any of the podcasts to […]

iTunes 4.9 with Podcasting — Initial Critique — More…
I remember why the podcasts magically appeared in the Main Library. Late last night, I manually grabbed all of the podcasts from the Podcasts Library into a play list. That, effectively, moved them to the Main Library.

iTunes 4.9 with Podcasting — Initial Critique
I have been using iTunes 4.9 for the last day and find it a very nice looking product. The best feature is the iTunes Music Store which facilitates easy subscription management.
However, iTunes 4.9 does manage podcasts with the iPod Shuffle well. The way I have handled this in the past was to create […]

Outdoor Newswire
I have been looking for a news feed that is strictly news that covers outdoor activities such as hiking, climbing and cycling. I was looking for coverage of cycling events and came across the Outdoor Newswire looks rather interesting. I’ve added it to my list of RSS feeds.

In Grand Rapids
I arrived in Grand Rapids last night, a day early. This was because Acton wanted us to be at the Airport by 3:00pm. The earliest flight got in at 8:30pm, hence the early arrival. When I got in, I posted the entries I wrote in transit, caught the latest podcasts, and went […]

Coding wherever I happen to be
Just to prove that I really do code wherever I happen to be, I was trying out some changes to the individual archives template in Moveable Type on the plane and from Atlanta Hartsfield Airport during the layover. I ran into a strange bug. May have to upgrade Movabletype. Then I’ll see […]

In Atlanta
[Corrected — sort of — it got posted out of sequence at a later date - I’ll guess at the time and date]
I’m in Atlanta. With the delay my four hour layover became a three hour layover. Not much to report here. Had a nice long walk hunting down a restaurant. […]

In-Flight Meals Aren’t What They Used to Be
The flight attendant came through with our in-flight meal snack packaged in a Mylar wrapper with the word, “enjoy!” printed in large blue friendly letters. In it are a tiny box of raisins, two Oreo cookies, two packages of “Pepperage Farms Distinctive Hearty Wheat” crackers, a tub of “Le Petit Fromage” Pasturized Process Cheese […]

Another Delay Flight
Looks like we have been delayed for an hour and a half. The airport broke their standard tow bar to push the 757 back. The pilot said that it looked like the Indy 500, but from what I recall, the ordered chaos in the pit actually accomplishes something.
We are in the air now.
Saw […]

Travelling to Acton Institute
I am at Bob Hope Airport in Burbank waiting to board my Delta flight to Grand Rapids, MI with a connection at Atlanta Hartsfield. Got through TSA smoothly. Heard a call for someone to return to return to the check point to retrieve their rice cooker.
Flight’s going to be a bit late - […]
