Episode 14: The inevitable return of the podcast

Sunday, July 30th, 2006

Having disappeared off the podcasting planet for a few months, I finally took the time to whip out the ‘ol mic stand and Garage Band and pulled together the long awaited return of the WSwI Podcast.

In this episode I talked briefly on each of the following subjects which wrapped up a quick and painless 30 minutes:

  • Upcoming web development books that I will be buying
  • Brief commentary on the YUI 0.11 release
  • Commentary about the sneak peak for the WSwI re-construction
  • How the YUI Tetris saga began and how I lost a bet

    you don’t get books for free!?!?! what a bugger that is!

    Hello Dustin,

    For some reason your podcast is only 9:25 long.

  4. Frode Danielsen

    Am I the only one getting a podcast that abruptly stops at approximately 9min 25sec? I’ve tried both through NewsFire, the ODEO-player and by downloading the mp3 directly.. 8.6MB is all I get.

  5. frank

    Yes, it is only 9 minutes.

  6. Kevin Lamping

    I’m also getting the problem that Frode gets. The podcast on this page only plays ~9 minutes. Shame cause I was really getting into it.

  7. shfx

    yeah.. damn you odeo!

  8. Dan Webb

    Triple A Thumbs up for the intro. Rock on! I like the browser sniffing bit as well.

  9. Carson

    9:25 here too….

    This is the third time in a row that the upload has timed out on me!!! I’ve tried once via ssh, then another via fugu sftp. It must be my internet connection. I apologize folks. I’ll get it up as soon as I can… *uploading now

  11. Dustin Diaz

    Arrg! 2megs left and it times out again!!! I might have to drop this on my jump drive and try uploading this sucker at work. Now I know not to leave uploading before going to bed.

  12. Elliot Swan

    Just when it was getting good.

    The numa numa rocked.

  13. Jason Beaird

    It seems the whole podcast is now uploaded. Good episode…but am I forever going to be known as the Numa Numa guy here? It’s not that I have some level of pride that I’m trying to maintain, but geez.

    I’m going to go ahead and throw down the proverbial gauntlet to kick off the buzzy design contest. My entry is an animated dragonfly. I wasn’t sure if the YUI animation library would work well with an animated gif, but as you can see in my little example page, it flaps aroudn just fine. Enjoy the music!

  14. Robert Otani

    Chapter 15 of Advanced Perl Programming (O’Reilly) talks about building Tetris using Perl/Tk.

    After skimming over this, it is more conceivable that a person experienced in Perl and who had read that chapter once, was asked “How long would it take you to write Tetris?”

    She would be able to confidently answer “maybe a few hours.”

  15. Dustin Diaz

    Robert, I can now see how that’s entirely possible. For those that don’t know Perl, and didn’t read that one chapter… we’re the ones that get screwed because it takes “a couple of days”

  16. Steve Kwan

    I am SO happy that you’re back online! There is a surprising shortage of good Web design podcasts.

  17. Matthijs

    “Yes, I’m a browser-sniffer”. Hilarious :)

  18. Matthijs

    One other thing: could you give the titles of the books you mention? (you forgot to mention some titles in the podcast) Or mention them in your post?

  19. Tom Pester

    Hi Dustin,

    I havent heard the podcast but I am already happy you started again.

    big fan :)

  20. Dustin Diaz

    Matthijs, I’ll try to be a bit more informative the next time I mention books. It’s just that in the heat of the moment… stuff just goes on and on and I can tend to forget the important details, and drag out the small ones. Heh. It’s definitely getting better though.

  21. Gamelexi

    Hey I am a big fan! Just got this episode! You do a great job!

  22. Hag Smileys

    Hi Dustin. Thank you for Episode. 30 minutes it are not enough for such fan as I:)

  23. Alex Mailer

    Great episode!
