gPodder, My Hero!
Sep 9th
Through Twitter, I was introduced to an amazing project called “gPodder“. It’s a podcast receiver/catcher written in Python utilizing PyGTK (for its GUI). It supports Linux and FreeBSD. The amazing thing about it is, I was looking for a podcast catcher just a few days earlier and I was totally lost. My keywords were just all over the place and I ended up with results that were totally left field. I think the keyword would be “catcher” or “receiver”. I’ve used Amarok and Banshee, but I could never figure out how to sync with my Blackberry.
Well a friend of mine tweeted someone on Twitter about Banshee so I started following the other person. And luckily for me about a day later that guy tweeted about gPodder. I jumped on it and I’ve been happy ever since. Thank you Web 2.0 – you really work!

So last night I finally decided to upgrade my home desktop from Fedora 8: Werewolf (best name ever) to Fedora 9: Sulphur. My main reasoning was to get Banshee 1.0 installed and have a happier podcasting life. Lukily for me I have a seperate partition to store my data and I backed up my /home directory. Not all the files just the ones I thought were important, which included most of the [dot][files/folders].
Silence
Jun 24th
I am experiencing a deafening silience when it comes to the audio on my Fedora box. As of this article being published I can not hear audio playing on my computer. Such as:
- MP3s, Oggs
- YouTube, Hulu, and Flash-based player
Ironically when I do a “Soundcard Detection” it does find it, I hear the test audio. I can even hear my recording that I just created in Audacity. I am at a lotal lost.
Whatcha’ Say!?
