0x26 WinAmp is Open Source... Kinda

2024-09-3001:03:48

WinAmp have released the source code for the legacy player but it's not exactly... open. Dylan and Mark about using AI to generate podcasts, and how AI coding assistants will be better when you can actually talk to them, the current fracas in the WordPress community, and how those "Star Wars in 1950s Panavision" videos you keep seeing on YouTube are made. Dylan uses a naughty word in this one.

2024-09-0201:00:08

CPH DevFest gave us a stage and an audience to record this week's podcast, so we repaid them by doing one of our usual random, meandering conversations.

2024-08-0801:02:13

WARNING: SPOILERS FOR DEADPOOL AND WOLVERINE Dylan's getting ready to ship Rockstar 2, Mark's built a sort of electric cloud-based space clipboard, and we've both seen Deadpool and Wolverine and intend to SPOILER THE HECK out of it so if you haven't seen it maybe watch this one later.

1.29 CROWDSTRUCK BY THE CYBER!

2024-07-2601:08:24

Well, gosh, we have absolutely NO IDEA what we might talk about this week in a weekly podcast about the week's events in the world of technology. Not a clue. Nope. Oh, and also a fun bit about the NSA having a tape of Grace Hopper they won't release 'cos they don't have a tape deck to watch it on that we were going to talk about last week but we ran out of time. And Mark and Dylan compare their workstations and monitor arrangements and stuff.

1.27 Drumless Daft Punk, Smart Rings and the electric Ford Capri

2024-07-1201:03:36

Dylan's been at home working on Rockstar 2 and enjoying Tidal's musical recommendations. Mark's been trying to work with an AMQP API using the wrong PDF document, wondering what a smart ring is, and Ford's turned the Capri into an electric SUV. And folding phones and AR headsets are like super-conducting hoverboards.

1.26 Lezer Grammars and Democracy Sausages

2024-07-1101:01:23

Oh no, I completely forgot to upload this episode last week. Sorry. Also the title is what we used on YouTube for the recording but I don't remember talking about Lezer Grammars or Democracy Sausages, although we definitely did talk about quantum crosswords, Arduinos and that scouse baby.

1.25 There's a Kevlin Henney On The Show!

2024-07-0401:00:58

Join Kevlin and Dylan as they pick apart what's been happening this week in the weird and wonderful world of technology... and hopefully Human Kevlin will be the ONLY Kevlin on this show, but you never know...
