mikevardy 15:08
hey
this is fucking unbelievable. 15:09
acurrie 15:32
oh hey

last i heard anth was going to call them today about a refund 15:32
i tweeted him for an update; haven't heard back 15:32
wiseman has joined the room 15:46
wiseman 15:46
hey
i can pop back a bit later if anyone b around then 15:46
gotta get an email newsletter out the door .... 15:46
mikevardy 15:51
hey
victriviaqueen has joined the room 15:53
victriviaqueen 15:53
hi guys...
acurrie 15:53
hey
lemme turn the sound burps back on 15:54
victriviaqueen 15:54
so how bad is the situation -- is all lost?
mikevardy 15:54
we're fuct
acurrie 15:55
so nobody's heard from anth?
victriviaqueen 15:55
that sucks pretty hard. -- has iWeb returned any calls?
acurrie 15:55
he was supposed to call them this afternoon, with shane as backup
mikevardy 15:55
not a single word from them shameful
victriviaqueen 15:56
unbelieveable.
acurrie 15:57
maybe while we're waiting i can fill you both in on what was talked about last n
ight after the show
i think the consensus is that we're done with iweb 15:57
(obvious) 15:57
and -- if you can believe it -- it was yours truly who brought up the idea of...
15:58
wait for it... 15:58
are you ready...? 15:58
victriviaqueen 15:58
on the edge of my chair
acurrie 15:58
here it comes....
posterous. 15:58
victriviaqueen 15:58
HA, no you didn't.
mikevardy 15:58
...ciough...what?!
acurrie 15:58
only because it can blast out to other sites simultaneously
victriviaqueen 15:59
yeah, that's how I use it. Posterous is my FrugalVictoria bitch.
acurrie 15:59
so we can have redundant sites on blogger and wordpress.com
speaking of which 15:59
is dyscultured.wordpress.com ours? 15:59
i registered dyscultured.blogspot.com last night 15:59
mikevardy 15:59
i think the wordpress.com is, yes
acurrie 16:00
fucking ace
mikevardy 16:00
anth would know
acurrie 16:00
both blogger and wp have data portability
mikevardy 16:00
but you should check to be sure
acurrie 16:00
each can export/import into the other
mikevardy 16:00
nice
acurrie 16:00
there are a couple of issues, of course
biggest one is, 16:00
if posterous goes down, the audio files are there 16:00
we can probably find somewhere else to mirror them 16:01
victriviaqueen 16:01
you could always back them up on archive.org
acurrie 16:01
bigno
"bingo" 16:01
i'm drunk 16:01
victriviaqueen 16:01
lucky you, I'm at work.
acurrie 16:02
second concern is the wiki
victriviaqueen 16:02
= weeps for wiki
acurrie 16:02
i know
victriviaqueen 16:02
you know what? wiki was FUCKED anyway.
we can do better. 16:02
acurrie 16:02
well, what i'm thinking is...
we all hashtag stuff we want considered 16:02
for example #dys131, for the next ep 16:03
it would mean compiling show notes before the show 16:03
and i guess we'd all have a draft of it open when we record? 16:03
victriviaqueen 16:04
Google Docs could work for that -- it now has some of the operability you lost b
efore.
acurrie 16:04
also possible
i guess we'd all have to be ok with depending on a bunch of disparate services 1
6:05
all subject to the dmca 16:05
victriviaqueen 16:06
there's the rub
also bluwiki (eg: http://dyscultured.bluwiki.com/ ) 16:06
again, DMCA eligible. 16:06
mikevardy 16:06
sorry - coming in and out as i'm working.
we own dyscultured.ca, btw 16:07
acurrie 16:08
and also .com, rite?
victriviaqueen 16:08
so... is there any interest in just finding a new host and migrating?
if so, I highly recommend http://www.varialhosting.com/ -- we have most of our s
ites there and have moved several others. It's Canadian owned and operated and s
o far very little (if any?) downtime. 16:09
mikevardy 16:09
yep and .com
acurrie 16:09
limited typing,fyi
very messy apple over here! 16:10
victriviaqueen 16:10
Ha.No, it's cause you're drunk.
acurrie 16:11
yes, and that
zomg, so drunk! 16:11
maybe the podcast should be a bittorrent! 16:12
victriviaqueen 16:12
Hrm.
acurrie 16:12
or on vodo?
victriviaqueen 16:13
qu'est que c'est "vodo"
acurrie 16:13
http://vodo.net/
mikevardy 16:14
ooo a bittorrent podcast
victriviaqueen 16:14
vodo is films... not voice though...
acurrie 16:14
yup
victriviaqueen 16:14
hmm.
acurrie 16:14
mebbe pirate party could get involved?
victriviaqueen 16:14
BINGO, was thinking that too.
mikevardy 16:15
that takes us to a whole other level
acurrie 16:15
their irc server works great
victriviaqueen 16:15
bittorrent, could include the chat archive files and associated image files too,
right>
acurrie 16:15
that would be so badass
victriviaqueen 16:16
was the comment about their irc sarcastic...?
(and really, as members it sould be "our" irc.) 16:16
acurrie 16:17
hang on, must wash hands
so... dude from pirate party was in chat last night 16:18
lemme see if i can get him here... 16:18
victriviaqueen 16:20
I can't stay much longer... do have to go back to digitizing anarchy pamphlets.
acurrie 16:20
really?
victriviaqueen 16:20
really,
acurrie 16:20
that's kinda cool
the pamphlets, at least... 16:20
victriviaqueen 16:20
my job is wierd, but right now I have boxes and boxes of anarchy publications fr
om the 70s to 90s to scan and describe.
acurrie 16:21
this is the universe telling dyscultured to go outlaw
hope your grind isn't too tedious, tho 16:22
victriviaqueen 16:22
some days, very much so.
acurrie 16:22
or you get paid by the hour, not the document
victriviaqueen 16:22
but best was a full page newspaper spread that read FUCK WORK, BEFORE IT FUCKS Y
OU.
acurrie 16:22
nice
victriviaqueen 16:22
I keep that in mind all the time.
I do get paid salary, not piecework. 16:23
which is good, because some of that shit sucks to scan. 16:23
acurrie 16:23
i figured
well, if you gotta go... wiseman's doing his thing 16:23
and mike is busy emailing me links about xbox for some reason 16:23
victriviaqueen 16:23
okey dokey. thought I would weigh in while I could.
I'm always available via email to weigh in too (triviaqueen@gmail) and twitter o
f course. 16:24
acurrie 16:24
we appreciate it!
as a listener with priviliges, would you rather a better host, or... 16:24
the multiple mirrors on free services? 16:24
victriviaqueen 16:25
I dunno. I just want the podcast to continue. In what form is largely irrelevant
.
acurrie 16:25
noted. and good point. it is, ultimately, an audio file
NOW WHERE THE FUCK IS MIKE?!!1! 16:26
16:26
victriviaqueen 16:26
that said, I think you need to look ahead to wheere you want the audience to be
a year from now...
i.e. aim for the bittorrent friendly techie/pirates or aim for the average twitt
er/fb user? different level of comfort with access. 16:26
acurrie 16:27
yeah
you probably know where i stand on that 16:27
i'd rather reach like-minded enlightened folks 16:27
but i am but one voice 16:27
MIKE!!!!1! 16:28
jesus... 16:28
Unknown command; see /help for the available commands 16:28
acurrie 16:28
hrm...
victriviaqueen 16:28
heh. OK, I will leave you to ponder. Put out a surveymonkey to the audience if y
ou want more input.
acurrie 16:29
good idea.
thanks! 16:29
for everything 16:29
victriviaqueen 16:30
no problem.
later. 16:30
