Sun, 8 April 2007 Show #25, Aquaria, Chapter 9. A small technical note: At the risk of sounding completely full of myself, I get my own podcast and listen to it on my iPod at work. I recently learned that the weird problems I was having with it were not just me or my wonky IPod. If you have been having trouble pausing and returning to the spot where you stopped, or watching in horror as your paused show exed out back to the menu or any other such frustrating things, you're not alone. I have consulted the technical forums on the website for my MP3 encoder, WAV2MP3 (an excellent program!), and implemented a change this week that I hope will fix the problem. If the problem persists for you, please make sure your iPod's firmware is updated properly. I shall be doing the same. Even more technical note: They told me to use Constant bitrate for the encoding, as Average bitrate or Variable bitrate may confuse the iPod's hamster-like mind. That may be the crux of the problem, that it can't figure out where it's supposed to be because it can't handle the constantly changing bitrates. I switched to Constant. I hope it works.
Today's pondering: Why it's taken 2000 years for the Church(s) to realize Easter eggs and bunnies are pagan symbols, as brought to you by CNN.
