Podcasts idea revived

This would be interesting, even more so maybe if we managed to use voIP via e.g. ekiga and record a conversation/debate between us for a part of the podcast.

Oh, and the song you mention was originally by Pink Floyd on their "The Wall" album and film, I think the song's name is "Another Brick in the Wall part 2" (though it has been recently covered by somebody else). The music video and the part of the film for the song is worth a watch. If you get a chance watch the film, though it is a bit weird (its a mix of growing insanity, mad dictatorial fascism and autobiography).

Excellent, you could cover command line v gui with "textual healing" (sorry Marvyn) in the background.

Man doesn't that line "All in all you're just another brick in the wall" make you want to just scream: "No, I'm NOT a yet another fscking brick in that freaking wall!"?

Makes you think. We're conditioned from day one of our lives. And even today, even those of us who try to break out as much as they can, we find ourselves put back into that wall on and on again and again and then trying to break out. I doubt we're even being aware of all the times when we're just following our programming, so to speak, rather than "growing beyond our original programming" as Data of Enterprise would say.

We need some of that rebellious energy into this podcast.

And yes.. voIP sounds like a good idea. I think Ekiga requires registration, but I'll check it out later.

Heh it's funny how my mind starts brewing with ideas when I actually get to bed and shut the computer off and need to get sleep because I have get up in 3.5 hours or so.. Darn it!

Well.. anyway, I was thinking, among other things, about this podcast and I wish it to be soon. It'd be quite an exciting experiment. One idea that just popped up to me is that, for the first podcast, we should gather "hello" or "shout out" recordings from all active Libervis Network members and put them in our show as "voices of our community". That'd be so cool and all you'd have to do is record yourself with a very short introductory message with your name or nick and send it off to me.

Then we can make this sort of a tradition. In addition to possible live interviews we could ask a a certain question at the end of a podcast and encourage listeners to send recorded answers to be included in the next podcast, which is also a good way to get content for it.

I've now installed audacity (as jokosher doesn't 'just work') and have been playing about with it. I should be sending you a recording shortly.

I successfully tried mumble last night talking to guys from Cluenet.org and I think this would be a great way to do live interviews (with voice). There can be multiple of people on a given server and all can talk to each other live at the same time. Just need to figure out how to record the output, but that shouldn't hard, and we're set on that front.

Except that we need a server, but either we will host one on Libervis.net or perhaps Cluenet will provide their own. It's not always full.

Cheers
