TestPodcast2 is Here

By Larry Hendrick | May 30, 2005

The newest test podcast is now ready and available for your listening pleasure. As before, please leave comments on the sound quality and any issues you have with getting the MP3 file. If all goes as planned, this will be the final test cast, if not, we will have to determine the plan of action and fix any last issues and prepare to move forward.

TestPodcast2

UPDATE: The file would not upload with the standard feature in MovableType saying the file is too large. I tried several times with the same results, but as you can see, the file is up and working. Here is the story.

Since the file was too big to run through the blog, I had to figure out how to ftp the file onto the server. I use the freeware version of FTP Commander from a few years back. Of course, you must be able to set up a new server and have all the information required to get the software talking to the web site. Once this is done, you must find where to upload the file to. Then hold your breath and click on the upload file button and see if it kills a server or goes wrong in some other way.

To make this clear, I have never used ftp to upload a file to anywhere before. I only use it to download files from a server once or twice a month and this was set up by one of the UNIX gurus.

I dug around awhile on the website file system and found where the original TestPodcast1 went and figured that was as good as any and selected that for the destination for the new file…

It seems to have worked from this side. Let me know about your side of the site.

Thanks again and whew!…have a great day…

    Your gain db seems to high. I’m catching some distortion. Again, relax. You’re enunciating TOO carefully. You know how the police interviewee always talks different when he’s on air, “The perpetrator was apprehended by officers engaged in a burglary investigation. The perpetrator gained access to the facility during the evening hours….” Instead of “We nabbed the crook….” You said something like, “the podcast will proceed in that manner…”

    Very nice post.

    About file hosting, i usually use yoUpload.com to upload all my files. I believe that is the best, but it’s my opinion, ehehe…

    Thanks Robert, It looks like your site does offer a solution for those needing file hosting. And the price looks good also.
