I received an Odeo invite a few days back now. I skipped over it initially and didn’t think anything about it. A day later I started seeing people comment about it variously over the net. So I went back into my email and followed the link and joined up.
It seems this was a wise decision on my part. I’ve never really gotten into the “podcast” scene but I think that Odeo has changed my ways. It’s easy to use interface coupled with high quality podcasts have made me a believer.
The Odeosyncer, which I’m told is like Ipodder, makes life easy by downloading any podcasts that you subscribe to on the site. Finding and listening to podcasts are accessible to everyone by having an elegant yet simple navigation system. Too top it off they allow you to listen to the podcasts within the site itself. Just click the play button under the image representing a various podast and you can get a taste to see if you like it.
I hope that some of you out there also get/have an invite to Odeo and decide to try it out. If not when it comes out of BETA I recommend you run out and give it a try.
I decided to move all of the music from Dante, my old mac, over to the newer PC that I have dedicated to music today. This normally wouldn’t be to problematic but Dante is what I kindly refer to a “frankenmac.” She’s an assembly of computer parts that shouldn’t be compatible and a hacked up operating system. Because of this most of her permissions are permanently messed up and it makes moving files back and forth a pain in the… well you know. So I tried the sensible and easy thing and connected to the PC from the Mac and tried to transfer them. This didn’t work well, though, and I had to resort to desperate measures. I set up and FTP server on my PC (thanks Chris) and began FTPing everything over. So far I haven’t run into too many issues but I doubt this will be done transferring until tomorrow afternoon. Thank goodness the laptop is my main computer. 
So after my 1pm meeting I decided to spend the rest of the my work day sitting on the back porch working on designs. Nice blue skies above me and birds singing in the background. On a side note we really need to clean the yard and driveway up. It’s more than slightly messy from the winter.
