Recording via Odeo Studio
ATL podcast maven Hilary at podcrawl has recorded a test cast using Odeo Studio. Its just a blah-blah podcast, but the sound quality is excellent. Compared to the horrible, crappy sound I got trying to record Skype conversations, telephone conversations, etc. this sounds fantastic. Its not what you can get with $500 worth of equipment and a little home studio, but its damn good. The podcast did not come through with her RSS feed I had to go to the Odeo site to hear it. But maybe thats just a configuration glitch. Im going to try this out. If its as easy, and good, as it sounds you could be recording all kinds of quick, easy instructional or inspirational audio with almost no effort.Recording from Odeo Studio
Create I did, from Odeo Studio tonight. Just a quick shoutout to my peeps. If you are subscribed, you should have gotten it through the feed. If not, you can go here to listen.
This was so simple. It really does allow the average person to podcast without much in the way of equipment or knowledge of the traditional recording process. Back in June, Ross Mayfield said "Podcast is the new voicemail". Being able to create audio in such a short amount of time was blissful in comparison to the time I put into preparation, recording, editing and posting my first podcast, not to mention the software/hardware purchase, setup and configuration. Tonight I went to Odeo Studio, pressed record, talked a bit, then hit save. This opens podcasting to the masses.
I will never forget the birthday song my brother left on my answering machine several years ago. He called me on my birthday and since I wasn't home, he picked up his guitar and sang to me through my answering machine. Sadly, the song is long gone because it was on a crappy, little tape. Next year, I'll send him to Odeo so I will be able to save my birthday song mp3.
Once again, I am impressed with Odeo. Great job guys!

BlogJet 1.6 Released
New version of BlogJet is out. I've been using BlogJet 1.5 for about a year with no problems at all. There are a number of helpful new features. More after I've upgraded and tried it out.I'm excited to announce the new release of BlogJet 1.6 "Lime".
Though it's a minor version number update, in fact it can be considered as a major update, since it have *lots* of new features. But it's FREE for registered users.
BlogJet now smoothly integrates with *Flickr* (photo-sharing service) to give you even better photo sharing capabilities. It now has the *Auto Replace* feature that saves your time, *group posting* feature to post to many blogs with as little as two clicks, and a lot of other improvements and bug fixes.

Safer Browsing
I’ve been using the three pieces of software below since I read Gregor’s post a few days ago. While I don’t disable Flash or Java, I have done the other things he lists. Installing NoScript, TargetKiller, and the hosts file has speeded my surfing and caused no noticeable side effects. Recommended additions to the anti-virus/anti-spyware arsenal..Technorati Tags : security, antivirus, antispamsafer browsing
here is what i am currently using to make browsing safer and less annoying:It's amazing how much faster and pleasant the web becomes if you take the garbage out..
- Use Firefox (duh)
- Don't install the Flash plugin
- Turn off "Allow sites to set cookies" and keep a small whitelist
- Use NoScript to only allow javascript on a small number of sites
- Install this hosts file to remove most advertising
- Use TargetKiller to get rid of pages opening up in new windows
- Disable Java
