Nick Starr: Mini Source Code

Name my show (podcast)

Wed, 25 May 2005 23:40:28 GMT

Well all of the names I have though of the name is taken online already.

So I am pulling to you guys to help me name my upcoming podcast. I want the name to incorporate some of the words below...or something completly origional...but with Starr in my name I can think of a few variations...so here is the list of words I came up with.

Starr
Nick
Night
Show
One

this comes from my idea of Nick at Night (not the other one Nick at Nite).....so any idea you come up with will be taken into consideration. Please leave a comment with your ideas.....might even have something special for the the name that I use.

Radio Userland coming out with "Podcasting Package"

Thu, 10 Feb 2005 14:28:39 GMT

Straight from Steve Kirks...you heard it here first!!!

http://radio.userland.com/discuss/msgReader$35592

Nick:

UserLand will be adding a "podcasting package" for Radio users that includes a large amount of storage, reasonable file type/size limits and unlimited bandwidth.

Podcasters: what are your requirements for storage space and file sizes?

Steve Kirks

Awesome!!!! Umm storage per file is up to what 20 megs for most podcasts? And Radio by default has 25 posts on it's RSS feed...so that would need a bunch of space I think. Let's see what they come out with!!!

Find me a new host!!!

Wed, 09 Feb 2005 20:50:28 GMT

Anyone know a good host for a website??

My traffic has been going thru the roof...well compared to what it used to be!!! Right now I have 200 megs and 2 gigs of bandwidth...I need at least 5 gigs if not a ton more for future podcasting ventures.

Any suggestions??

Oh yeah...my current host is only $2/month...cheap would be nice...

One idea I am throwing around is also hosting it on a .Mac account (unlimited bandwidth) and 250megs of space...but I want to keep the www.NickStarr.com thing and not have a .Mac address...any ideas?

Glenn Beck's Tsunami Relief Fund.

Glenn Beck's Tsunami Relief Fund...once you make a donation you can download this song...

Thank you for your donation.

Download 'We Are the World' by the Glenn Beck Program

**************************
CONFUCIUS SAY:
Those of you who need a song to donate to a disaster
fund, deserve a disaster of a song.
**************************

Earlier this week Glenn called Stu "Captain Blackheart" for saying that you should just give money to tsunami victims if you want to--not wait for a charity song or celebrity event tells you to. These inspiring words motivated Stu to record the Glenn Beck Program's first charity single. A donation of any amount will get you access to this certified gem. All donations will go to help victims of the tsunami. The song features: Stu, Chris Balfe, Dan, John, and Sarah. Glenn Beck apparently boycotted the project.

Mid Week Update

Wed, 24 Nov 2004 14:35:55 GMT

Well as you very well know, I was pretty much incommunicado yesterday. No WOTD, no blog entries, and no hot chick pics....

So, to make up for the last part:

Well I hope that works....more to come in the following days...

Other than that, later I will be posting feedback I got from my new class about my speach last night on the topic of: The most important lessons I've learned in my professional life. Verry interrestering comments....

Oh well...what else is there? I can't taste anything because I'm so sick..and I sneeze like every minute...that is a bad thing...

No real new news on the A front....We have something planned but that is a week away and still not set in stone.

Tonight I have 2 sets of dinner plans...Dinner at the parents house..and Beer and Wings at Mugs and Jugs....so not sure which one I will be going to, if not both.

I should have some really good news on Saturday...so stay tuned for that....

I guess I'm out of here...talk to you later...

BTW. The Mini Source Code has been put on hold until I am feeling better and can acatually talk.

Mini Source Code

Thu, 18 Nov 2004 16:50:07 GMT

Well....I am on cloud nine...

Adam Curry mentioned my show on his Daily Source Code...He said it was very flattering and really cool...

I guess it's true what they say, that imitation is the greatest form of flattery.

So today's show has a brief wrap up of everything Adam talked about yesterday.....

Show Notes are available as always.
[Macro error: Can't evaluate the expression because the name "flStaticRendering" hasn't been defined.] ;
The mp3 of the show is up now as well. Plus you can plug in my RSS feed into your iPodder software and download the Mini Source Code on a daily basis.

Oh yes....

Patricia and Christina....Let me apologize about the mistakes with your name and location. I hope that everything goes well in your move to ENGLAND....(not Ireland)...and Christina next time your in the States I'll buy you Good Charlotte tickets to a show of theirs...

That being said....have a great day EVERYBODY!!!!

Welcome new visitors

Thu, 18 Nov 2004 12:34:16 GMT

Okay, so if you were directed to the site from Adam Curry's mention of the Mini Source Code last night on the podcast....WELCOME!!! The mp3 is available. It is about 5 minutes into his podcast.

The RSS link for the Mini Source Code is here:

Please leave audio comments at (727) 490-3578 or emails to me at NickStarr.com

I am thinking of creating on the weekends a show of comments and allowing others to have their few minutes of fame and glory. So leave those comments and be heard by thousands over the podwaves (airwaves).

So I hope you enjoy the Mini Source Code ...your "abbreviated" Daily Source Code by Adam Curry

Mini Source Code - November 16th

Wed, 17 Nov 2004 04:43:42 GMT

Good evening everybody!!!!

Well due to a late podcast from Adam, the Mini Source Code is out even later. (Plus I had classes tonight). So Adam does his second to last podcast from Curry Castle...Tune in tomorrow to hear his last show, and thus the Mini Source Code.

I appreciate everyone tuning into the show and love to hear from you from your audio comments. Send audio comments to me@NickStarr.com or via phone at (727) 490-3578. I will be airing audio comments about the show, so make sure to keep those comments rolling in.

That being said, I am promoting Dawn and Drew's Podcast today as my podcast of the day. Their new audio comment line is available at (610) 885-1605.

Today's mp3 from the podcast is now up, as well as the podcast feed.

Production notes are shown below:
[Macro error: Can't evaluate the expression because the name "flStaticRendering" hasn't been defined.]
And Adam's PodSquad is available here .

Podcast updates

Tue, 16 Nov 2004 12:34:58 GMT

Well it seems like the podcast is going well. I checked my bandwidth usage and I'm already at 572,063 megabytes or 11.44% of my monthly bandwidth. I certainly need to find a provider with much more bandwidth. I am thinking that a .Mac account provides unlimited amounts of bandwidth, so I might sign up for that.

Looks like the audience is building and that everyone is enjoying the show. Still not on the iPodder.org directory yet, but patience is a virtue. I've got class tonight (or at least that is how it's looking. Still up in the air though) and there is no Daily Source Code from Adam yet, so not sure when I will have the Mini Source Code up. I will make sure to update you when I have a more set time.

So set your iPodder software to download late tonight, because it might be a late night edition of the Mini Source Code.

Mini Source Code - November 15th

Mon, 15 Nov 2004 18:45:58 GMT

Well it's here...
The 2nd edition of the Mini Source Code...
the smaller version of Adam Curry's Daily Source Code.

Today's show is 10 minutes (like the last one) that wraps up the 1 hour podcast Adam did today while packing up the castle over in Flanders, Belgium.

Please tell your friends and family about the show, we will be podcasting every day that Adam (the God of Podcasting) ::boooing:: podcasts.

So here's the show notes and the mp3 of the podcast!!

Mini Source Code

Sun, 14 Nov 2004 06:38:06 GMT

Well, I've been thinking...on my morning drive which is only about 5-10 minutes (depending on traffic) that I can't listen to the entire Daily Source Code with Adam Curry.

So what am I to do....

How about create a 5-10 minute podcast of everything Adam Covered in his show....

So without further ado...here's the first edition of the MINI Source Code!!! from Adam's November 11th show.
