Launch Day, Your Story is Up

Welcome everyone.

If your here for the first time it’s probably because I contacted you to come and check what I’ve been up to. Thanks for taking the time.

If you want to know what it’s all about click on the link at the to. So you want to know what I’m up to? That will pretty well sum it up far better than writing it again.

As you can see I have now four podcasts but three officially as the first was a bit of a ramble on my part. If you feel it’s worth it leave a comment at the end of the post.

I’d like to keep you in the loop so please send me an email at chat@yourstorypodcast.com.

Thanks for dropping by.

Your Story Ep 2 : Things change.

Like all things, change is inevitable.

As time goes by things change in people’s lives and now, after seven years, this episode has been asked to be removed… simply because life changes. Thanks to the individual who participated in this episode in these very early days of my digital online world.

It was fun having you there with me at the time 🙂

In this episode I chat with a young lady I’ve worked with who decided at school to get into the film industry and has achieved it in only three years and now has to consider her future.

I also bring you up to speed on how it’s been going for me to get this podcast up and running and some of the frustrations that I’ve faced.

Hope you enjoy.

Zoom H4 Incompatibility with Leopard

USB interfaces including Zoom H4 as well as many firewire interfaces are having issues with Leopard.

This was a problem I thought wouldn’t have arisen as a couple of months back I couldn’t use my Behringer firewire interface with OS10.4.10. Eventually I had to go back to OS10.4.9. So I was glad to upgrade to OS 10.5 Leopard thinking that all the problems would be gone which for the Behringer unit is so. However my Zoom H4 is having issues.

Zoom H4

Yesterday I sent this email to a podcast Inside Home Recording

…when I plug in my H4 it shows that it is powered and connected to the Mac but it doesn’t come up on the desktop. Therefore I can’t get any data off. I’ve sent an email to Zoom Japan and they are aware of the issue. So as far as the Apple forums are concerned I’m snookered for the moment. Unless some one can come up with a solution I’ll be forced to download to another machine and burn disks to transfer the files. I may even have to use a PC 🙁 Until this is resolved…

On Sunday I sent an email to Zoom Corporation and today to my surprise [click to continue…]

Welcome to the first but not quite episode of Your Story.

Thanks for dropping by.

In this episode I explain my motivation and what I’m hoping to achieve in producing this podcast.

On this blog I’ve referenced many times to the importance of understanding the ways of life that others live. By appreciating that we are all wanting a good life, a life of community and communication where we are both adding to our society and our own lives we develop a sense that we have purpose. This podcast is about exploring the different ways in which people live their lives and achieve the things that they have done in their lives to get them to the place that they are today.

In this first episode I explain why I’m motivated to achieve what I’m doing and the hopes that I have for you the listener.

Finally I’m Up and I have the Blogs Under Way!

It has taken months but at finally, just last night I managed to get my sites sorted and wordpress installed onto them properly. I have this site and a for the moment less important personal blog. The relief when I finally got them up was wonderful, since then I can continue starting a blog with the help of different guides online.

So today I am going to sort this site out. Due to the fact that I had to do a reinstall of this blog means that I have to reconfigure everything and reinstall the themes and plugins but that will only take a few hours then at long last I should be up.

After months of battling this technology… Yea!

A Quality Podcast Takes Time to Prepare

Still I plod away at getting my podcast up and running.

Ever week I think I’m just a half day away from posting and then something comes along to sabotage me. The latest is that after having my sites tidied up so they are separated on my server and the podcast blog is in the .com url I find that I can’t access my blogs as the password doesn’t work and for some reason when I get a new password it doesn’t work either. So I’m hoping that I can get the help again to fix that.

So yesterday I decided to make a new opening intro and I went out and got some sounds on my Zoom H4 recorder, which is a top little unit, but when I get home to transfer to my mac it won’t see it on the desktop so I can’t access the files on the recorder. Bugger! I didn’t have this issue before but now on Leopard, well… Bugger! I’ll just have to wait till apple resolves this I suppose 🙁

So still I plug away every week learning more about this technology and get a little closer to being able to get it up and running. One day I’ll have all the issues resolved and I can concentrate on what I really want to do… Make an awesome podcast about Your Story.

Climate Debate, Options & Rational

I heard about the Greenhouse Effect in the early 80’s and I’ve been waiting to see when the general public would start to get the picture, and now we have. Now we have a debate but it’s only a public debate the scientists all agree (all but the few) but the public isn’t listening to the scientists, the tens of thousand of educated men and women who study and know all the background information that has led to their opinions.

The general public listens to the popular and noisy commentators who aren’t as educated or have vested interests elsewhere.

However… Maybe the scientists may be wrong… Sure, nothing is for certain. Look at the panic caused about the Y2K problem. Fizzier wasn’t it? What a waste of money. Although, have you ever wondered that maybe all the work done because of the concern that was created may have averted the problem so it never happened and now we have the benefits of no problem, just a few dollars spent.

Well what if the same situation plays out with global climate change?

Here is the best way I’ve come across to explain it.
