This week I had a 'normal' radioshow for DFM RTV Int. (http://dfm.nu) with my homegrown soundscapes and music. And like I promised with embedded Paris sounds. If you like be live on the radioshow; I'm doing the show every thursday from 22:00 till 24:00 (GMT +1). You only have to visit http://dfm.nu to find a link to the livestream and chat. Maybe'll see you next time on the chatchannel. And no surprise of course, but my nickname on that is 'Zebra404'.
Well that was really something last week. Ofcourse I did prepare my show wich was the last one for februari and I would have play FreeMusic from garageband.com for the last time. But on that same moment there was a live event going on in Enschede that was broadcasted live by DFM. So when I started my show I noticed that nobody could listen my show. The operator from DFM really did the best he could to broadcast my show on a another stream but there were some datatraffic problems too so... To keep a long story short; I went to Paris and I did that show from last week today. That will give me another week to finish working on the soundscapes I recorded on my short vacation in Paris. You will hear that stuff next week. Meanwhile you can listen to this show. Stay tuned!
Still did not any time to make new music this week. So this week I did ANOTHER show with music from all over the world wich I found from the freemusic circuit. Lots of great music form different artists and bands. There's still enough to enjoy this week. So I hope you will. See you next week

I had my performance for DFM RTV Int. (http://dfm.nu) on this thursday from 22:00 till 24:00 (GMT +1). This week I decided to have a different show as normally. For this week I didn;t play soundstuff of myself but just cool free music wich I found on garageband.com. This is a great place to find lots of music for free in all kind of styles. For me this show was a nice variation. Hope you'll like it too.

Email Announcements. As those of you on the email list can see, I'm sticking with the weekly announcements for now, and Im using simple text-only messages rather than HTML. The feedback on that issue was overwhelmingly one sided. I received nearly 200 email messages this time, and virtually everyone said that they either preferred text to HTML or that it didn't matter one way or another. So text it will be. And I'm sorry I can't reply to all your great messages with words of support and encouragement. There are just too many. What a great problem to have! Google Groups An Experiment. I'm about to try another experiment with the email list. I want to see if Google Groups, which is now in beta, works as well as or better than the current system. If it does, I think Google Groups will be much simpler to maintain since it's easier for users to manage their own options. So for next week I plan to upload the entire email list to Google. According to their claims, the email addresses should remain confidential and you shouldn't receive any spam from Google or its partners. But before I run the test I want to find out if anyone out there knows of a reason I shouldn't do this. If you think it's a bad idea, send email to me at doug@itconversations.com. Don't send a message if it's okay with you; I'll take silence as consent to run the test in this case. But if you see a problem with using Google Groups for email announcements -- particularly a privacy problem -- let me know. RSS Feeds. And still on the topic of email, many listeners have pointed out that RSS is a superior alternative to email. This makes me wonder whether they realize that IT Conversations has over 100 different RSS feeds. I agree that RSS is better in many ways than email, so if you don't already know about the feeds and all the variations including enclosures and topic-based feeds, take a look at the Podcast/RSS page. Feedburner. And while I'm on the subject of RSS, I'm trying yet another experiment. If you currently subscribe to one of the site-wide "Everything" feeds, you may have noticed that your feed now comes through Feedburner. This is a new service that helps track RSS subscriptions so that I can attract sponsors and underwriters by giving them independently compiled statistics. I'm about to switch all of the IT Conversations feeds to Feedburner, so please let me know immediately if you've had any RSS problems in the past week.
New Programs This Week
The Gillmor Gang (rated 3.3). Now Google's VP of Engineering, Adam Bosworth joined The Gang last Friday with his vision for the future of search architecture. Adam points out that today's databases are built on the relational model, but most of today's queries are not. They're looking for keyword precision, location and semantic context -- not a textual or numeric match. The relational model works when both the data and the queries can be anticipated, but in today's world, neither are typically known in advance. This is one of the more popular Gillmor Gang shows, and I recommend it for anyone interested in the future and technology of databases and the Internet. Andy Ihnatko - Tales from the Crypt (rated 3.2). A regular columnist for Macintosh magazines, Andy describes himself as America's 42nd Most-Beloved Industry Figure. In this session from the Mac OS X Conference, Andy presents unique examples of creative genius from the past. He then turns his sights to the future and look at collaboration technologies that are flowing our way. Because as we all know, business health requires that you always drink upstream from the herd. A good program for those interested in the Macintosh world. John Doerr at at Web 2.0 (rated 2.9). John is one of the most prolific venture capitalists in the world, and his most recent -- and most spectacular -- success is Google, which he backed in 1999 despite significant sk
