We're updating the tags on all the mp3 files for all our shows this morning. In order to do this, we have to take the server down for an hour or two.

The benefit? Consistent tagging across all Pwop-produced shows and episodes. Also, we're embedding a JPG (the same one as our iTunes:Image in the feeds) in all the MP3 files.

Also, if you hadn't noticed, we're running our feeds through FeedBurner these days. FeedBurner is in turn pointing at a data-driven feed page. This means no more "missing feed" errors. If it's in the database, it's in the feed!

We will also be updating the mp3 torrent files. So if you are seeding, you'll want to delete your torrents and re-download.

Thanks for your patience.

I just got the best accessory for any outdoor bird feeder: Twirl-A-Squirrel! It lets the birds feed to their heart's content, but when mister squirrel gets on it, the battery-powered motor kicks in and spins him into confusion until he jumps off with a big squirrely WTF!!

Scott Hanselman and Jay Flowers on CI Factory

In a historic episode of dnrTV, Carl has two guests (Jay Flowers and Scott Hanselman). Essentially Jay Flowers is an expert in Continuous Integration (CI), and the author of CI Factory, a helper application for setting up CI systems. Scott complements Jay as a user of CI Factory, and one who has had to set up CI without it!

In this show Jay shows Scott and Carl how to set up a complete CI system with Subversion as the source control system. Jay uses SubText, a popular blog software package, as a demo source project that gets run through the CI system.
