Fanboi glee…
Allright, this happened in the comments for my last podcast posting, but I wanted to bring it up here on the main page, ’cause, well…

… you know.. Evo Terra? From, like, the Dragon Page? Look, if you don’t know who this guy is ’cause you haven’t been listening to the Dragon Page podcasts, then do yourself a huge favor and go there now and subscribe to their feed. Evo and Michael run one of the best shows out there, where they talk about sci-fi and fantasy books, and general geeky chat. Really, really excellent stuff.
Anyway, I mentioned them on my last podcast, and aparently Evo noticed the link to the page, and he came over to snag the podcast and listen.. or he would have, anyway, if I wasn’t such a dork. Here’s his comment:
I’d love to listen to your podcast, but your file name is “Katsu Show - Tech News - 03-03-2005.mp3?. Being an IT guy, you know what sort of havoc spaces have in URLs.
iPodderX doesn’t play well with spaces. Try underscores, dashes, or something else. ‘Cuz right now, I can’t listen. And I really wanna listen, since you listen to us and all!
Hope that helps!
Evo
… man.. techie shame.. See, in my defense, iPodder and Doppler on Windows never gave me any trouble downloading the mp3 file even with the spaces.. but.. now that I know I was unwittingly excluding all the iPodderX Mac users, I’ll be fixing that. I don’t currently have access to my file dump (due to the crap-ass firewall here at the office), but as soon as I get home tonight I’ll change the file name so it has underscores instead of spaces.
So, Evo, my apologies, and I’ll email you tonight as soon as I do the file name change. I’ll change the reference on the RSS feed as well, so you should be able to just reload the RSS feed and have it properly download the show. If not, I’ll repost it so it’s a new entry.
And on that note, I know I owe everyone another podcast. I actually recorded one yesterday in the car on the way to work, but my voice was kinda shot because I’m coming down with something of a cold, and between my weak voice and the background noise of the car and the driving, the quality was really really bad, so I’m not posting it. If my voice feels better tonight I might do one tonight, though. Got a lot of stuff to talk about (but really, it’s mainly WoW stuff. C’mon, can you blame me?)
