Or is it “A new hope” ? 
Time for something different. The Bangrocks blog I wrote myself needs a lot more features and I don’t have time to code them all, particularly when there are so many blog applications out there already. So, after much searching I’ve decided on this one. It is the first one I found which supports Podcasts which you know I use.
Once I get my new PocketPC I should be able to use it to do some good Podcasting. The problem with my Motorola A1000 is it saves files in it’s own compressed format, then I have to convert it to WAV and reconvert it to mp3 for Podcasting. This loses some quality, but the A1000 also has little skip bits where it doesn’t record while it’s saving the current bit to memory. This is the thing that annoys me the most.
We’ve just been resting today. Haven’t even felt like taking the kids to swimming. We will take them another time to do catch-ups. I will be taking some time off work soon and we can do it then. Hopefully before Blake goes to Sydney again.
Well, lots of things to update and configure on this blog. I’ll have to link to the old one so you can see the old entries.

Or use mencoder, and reduce that to a single step.
But actually, it should be possible to modify the podcast uploading thing to accept the phone’s format, and do the conversion on the server. That’s an exercise for the reader though, doing audio conversion can take time, so you’d want to do it in the background I guess. Tricky.
