After a long break...

I've published the latest podcast, show 11. It lacked the umpf of some of the previous shows. I was just happy to get one out there again, before everyone unsubscribed from my feed. I've been seeing more traffic, about a solid 30+ subscribers and almost a couple hundred hits a day. I had needed a break from things for the past couple of weeks for personal reasons. It's good to be back again. This project gives me something to shoot for, but ultimately I'm doing it for myself and if I don't want to do a show, I don't have to answer to anyone. It's nice to have a project with relatively low responsibilities.

On a technical note, I ran into some problems recording in the field. I would do a string of recordings and lose a few key segments. I would first get a clip with out sound, then the next clip would just be a string of pops and static, and then the remaining clips would be zero bytes. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong in the field or if the unit isn't working properly. I did have a problem with the dial popping off in the basket. I'd better not lose it!

I think I don't have to worry too much about the recording problem I was having. I think I was screwing up the functions when I was recording. I could have also been dying batteries.

I'm having problems with downloading Show 11. I sent a request for assistance from archive.org, but I haven't heard back from anyone yet.

I haven't begun working on Show 12. I'm slow to gather more materials. I've got ideas and stuff to work on, I'm just not as motivated as before.
