Kära Örebroare,
Idag är det inte Halloween.
Thank you for . I’m glad you commented on of the environment and situation I was in.
Thank you for . I’m glad you liked and I agree on how powerful it would be if feed readers picked up the conversations. That kind of integration of post and replies is one of the benefits that the silos has today.
Let me know if you do take the time and make your own microcast.
Tänk om det var Obama som var POTUS och det var hans twitterkonto som stängts av av en anställd. De som hejar nu hade nog inte gjort det då.
Download and listen to Microcast: A question about audio quality of microcasts
Ah, the old chestnut about audio quality of podcasts. So I’ll give my standard answer. If what you’re saying is interesting, audio quality is less important. Asymcar is my goto example for that. And if what you say is not interesting, no level of production value will make me listen longer.
In between is a grey area. So, specifically addressing Henrik’s question, that microcast was perfectly OK, except that once we had dealt with the weather and the question, I had had enough. On all outdoor recording wind noise, handling noise and bumps are the most distressing to me because they are always a shock to my ears. But if I know it is going to be over in three minutes, I can survive.
I’ve recorded outdoors and walking along myself, almost always with either the built-in microphone on the earbuds or else with an external Zoom iQ-6. The Zoom is actually worse, because it is so much more sensitive to wind and handling. A few times, when I was doing Dog Days of Podcasting, I cheated and recorded while walking along only to shadow myself with a decent mic when I got home. That’s fun because you get the spontaneity of unscripted speech with much better sound quality.
Once the voice that I’m listening to is clear, I don’t really sweat it about the quality too much. Thankfully, most microcasts are single-voice, thus avoiding the awful skype encoding mess that ruins many longer-form podcasts. I found this microcast clear and understandable, Henrik, and it was fun to imagine you pushing your baby stroller through the frosted fields of Sweden.
@MrHenko I like the concept of publishing short audio without edit or worrying about equipment. Happy to listen to variety of sound quality.
@johnjohnston Thank you for replying, John!
That’s a really cool example of displaying comments! I have added a line about you to the IndieWeb comments page, please edit if you have more to add about the displaying behaviour.
Thanks ! It got the idea for from the P2 theme. I tried it out a week or so ago to try to solve a different problem on my blog and while it didn’t help with its intended purpose, I did really like the inline comments.
This thing that Google does where links in search results are actually to their own URLs and not the permalinks is just pure crap!
I just saw a year old article about Pinterest buying Instapaper. I had completely missed that.
A few years ago I was an avid Instapaper user and I cared a lot about it and its future but as I had less and less time to read the stuff I put in my queue my interest decreased.
