MacHeist is here again with a bundled selection of OSX applications for a daft price. Rarely do I find a bundle that is not worth the price. But this time I have been put off by one item in particular.

I have had a couple of comments recently which I thought I might elaborate a little on why.The specifics of this surround my very vocal concerns about the existence of a formal UK Podcasters Association (note the word in bold) – my reasoning I’ll go into more detail in another post at some point but it is basically that I feel it is unnecessary and offers what I believe to be an inappropriate image for independent UK podcasters o be presenting to the rest of the podcasting space…. When I interviewed Dean, it would have been less informative for the BBC R5 listeners to hear an opposing debate about a subject they currently know little about, and in the Hugh Fraser interview, the most important thing was to show the positive side of what we are doing in the UK podcasting space, and not two podcasters head to head over an issue very few people outside the handful of active UK podcast community contributors care more than a passing fart about.

It’s official, Linked Media Ltd. was formed today.The full details are to follow once we have everything more coherently and explicitly expressed, but basically the company was born out of my initial discussions with mobile telcos and mobile content suppliers about distributing podcasts to mobile phone users…. We are looking at the bigger picture: discovering new opportunities for podcasters even well before they are technically feasible, and preparing the way for what might be around the corner.If this all seems a little vague, then it is, intentionally, as we have a lot of detail still to work out about our proposition to both podcasters and content consumers and we understandably want to be sure the message is right.

Each page contains a standard header and footer – which in their basic form can consist merely of the opening and closing HTML, HEAD and BODY tags, but can also include hooks to call CMS generated interface elements such as site navigation menus or site search boxes.Between the header and footer files are any number of blocks of managed content…. As any CSS guru will know, where and how you output floating layers in relation to other floating layers is sometimes critical to achieving the desired result.Content Groups, Headers and Footers are themselves organised into ‘Page Templates’, enabling complete flexibility to give different site pages, different layouts (e.g. a page displaying a product catalogue may require a different layout to one containing a list of latest news items).In its simplest form, a site template consists of merely a header file, a footer file and a CSS file (the content blocks themselves are derived from specially tagged CSS id’s) – plus handful of completed fields in the database to glue everything together (though I am pondering moving that out into a simple XML file to improve portability – comments on the pros and cons anyone..?).I have a couple of content managed business websites to create in the coming months so I am hoping there will be time during April to hammer away and get AquariumCMS into a state as a viable option for those projects.

After coming across Chris Garrett’s post on Performancing.com about how to lose blog subscribers, I thought I’d create my own personal (slightly tongue in cheek) list about how to get your podcast removed from my (admittedly small) subscription list, or even not get on it in the first place.1. Just keep doing exactly the same thing in the same way for endless shows.

I spotted a pair of links from two particular usernames, the first one appearing to be a spammer and the second one a little while later appearing to have cleared out that spam:Both of these were, in fact, spammers, the same spammer as it turns out, giving the impression that the first page hit had been cleaned by the second thus hopefully fooling the wiki’s admin into thinking all was now well with that page, move along now, nothing to see here. It was suspicious to see this pattern appear twice, once yesterday and once this morning (as I was clearing other spam rubbish as it happens).Thankfully the small amount of spam in this wiki means I can and do double check anyone else’s spam clearing efforts just to be sure it has been done correctly, so this didn’t catch me out.
