Nominated again

Well it looks like it’s that time of year again. Malky and I have been nominated for the 2008 People’s Choice Podcast Awards in the health and fitness category. Last year the podcast “Sex is Fun” is back and it’s hard to compete with a name and topic like that but we’re going to give it a try. The voting starts on Sept 15th and you’ll be able to vote once a day. Won’t you please help us upset the other podcast? Let’s make history together!

UPDATE: Well it looks like I jumped the gun on this. The list is last year’s nominees and the winner in the specific category. That should teach me a lesson not to toot our own horn.

Fun with Audio Hijack Pro

I’ve spoken about Rogue Amebia’s Audio Hijack Pro before since it’s such an important tool for our podcast. Last night I discovered a new use for the application.

I was looking for a sound clip but the only thing that I could find was a YouTube video of said audio. AHP came to the rescue sine it allows me to record sound from Safari. I gave it a try and it worked briliantly. Hopefully you’ll hear the new sound in our upcoming podcast.

Thoughts on the iPhone 2.0 software

Like millions of other people, I upgraded my iPhone to the new 2.0 firmware that was released with the second generation iPhone (known here in the US as the iPhone 3G) . There were numerious articles and blog posts written about the problems that happened on Friday (the short story is that Apple’s website couldn’t keep up with the demand) and you would have thought that Apple would have learned their lesson after last year.

Once I finally got the software onto the iPhone at about 3:00pm using the new firmware was almost like a religious experience. The first thing that I tested was the Active Sync component. This will allow someone to get their email in real time along with their contacts and calendar. All synchronized over the air. It worked as advertised and I now get my email pushed to my iPhone and it’s quite exciting. Of course this is working with Kerio MailServer and not Microsoft Exchange but I would assume that your results would be the same. 

The other exciting this is the app store, which will allow you to download applications to your phone. There are free ones and there are ones that you can pay for. I installed several free apps and have been mulling over buying a really neat looking app as well. The free apps are what you would expect AIM, Facebook and NetNewsWire just to name a few. They are all very well written well (UI wise) and do a very good job of doing what you want to do with it. 

The app that I am looking to buy is At Bat from MLB.com. This allows you to get updated scores and watch the scoring plays a few minutes after they happen! Really cool, eh? 

I think that once I get the new G3 iPhone and I hand the old one down to Malky, she’ll be really happy with what she is getting.
