RSS feed fix

I noticed the RSS feed on (e:dragonlady)'s livejournal feed

had messged up apostrophe's that resulted when I was stripping the ampersands for some javascript I was using it for before.

It's all okay now, but (e:zobar), you should delete the cache for that wherever it is so that can re-cache.

Loudfeeder - Make your own Podcast

I have created another application like picfeeder

This one is called loudfeeder and allows you to make your own podcasts for sharing music and sound with programs on programs that can handle podcasts (WIKIPEDIA - podcast) such as itunes.

I am going to ask that you please do not share copyrighted music witht his technology. If you do I will ban you form loudfeeder and estrip. However, you can feel free to share music you created, or the music of any band you have the permisison to share.

You can also use it to cast your own podcast radio shows. If anyone starts their own show please tell me so that we can syndicate it on elmwood radio.

Here is the login window

Here is the podcast creator interface, you can see it looks a lot like picfeeder

and behaves exactly the same way makign it easy to use both.

Here is how you subscribe to your podcast on itunes

You can give the address of your podcast to any of your friednds that you want to subscribe. When they subscribe they will recieved automatic updates of whatever is in your feed right into their player. There are many other podcast player out there. Just search on google. They even have them for phones and PPCs.

I started my own podcast using loudfeeder with the first song being one I created with a software drum machine You can subscribe to it by putting this addr

I will probably be using it to start a mobile podcast from my phone which has an mp3 recorder and works with loudfeeder.

I also bought loudfeeder and picfeeder.com so maybe if it works out I will extend subscriptions to other people.

This program can download podcasts on windows, mac and linux if you don't have itunes

Map Chat Update

I was chatting with (e:zobar) today when he linked to a google map. I realized that he had to look it up and then paste the link which got truncated. It made me realize the chat should be smart enough to do it for you, so now it can.

If you want to link to a buffalo address type it in the chat like this:
"map 567 lafayette avenue"

This will auto link the address to google maps. If the address can be found on more than one street it gives you the choice. There is no way to map to another city and I think that is fine seeing as we are a local site. If you want to link to an out of Buffalo map simply use your journal. The map button can accept addresses that are even out of state.
