BlogMatrix Trial

Hi again ppl!

I've decided to give the new BlogMatrix service a try.
I think AC mentioned it in his DSC yesterday.
Seems like this could be a great service, with a minimal one off charge.
I'll see how the free trial goes & then decide which way to go.

This does of course mean another new feed...

There is also blog that accompanies this feed with BlogMatrix...

Any shows I post on the BlogMatrix webblog, will be linked to from here, so that this particular blog, will always act as a 'node' for the my Sciencecast.

Looks like I should get a show recorded hey :)

Feed Test

Looks like the new feed is working.
iPodder seems to like it & recognizes that there is an MP3 & queues it up for downloading.

New feed address reminder...
http://rizzn.net/Scripts/podcast/rss/sciencecast.xml

Oh & don't worry about the sound quality on that test MP3.
It was recorded using my Creative MuVo MP3 player, which has a tiny built in mic.
I'll be using my lovely new Plantronics head set mic to record Sciencecast proper.

Any comments, suggestions & requests for Science news/ advise/ explanations are welcome.

Sciencecast is Michael Lehman's, 'Podcast of the Day'!

'Mike's Manic Minute' for the 13th of Jan 2005 picked Sciencecast as the 'Podcast of the Day'!!

Thanks Mike!

I just tonight found this while Alta-Vista searching.
I listen to Mike's Manic Minute, but I must have started doing so after he mentioned my Podcast.

You can download that episode of MMM at the link below & hear the mention of Sciencecast.

Update

A quick update...

I have a new microphone on its way, which should solve the low sound volume in the first show.

Cassini-Huygens Mission to Titan

Today has been a resounding success for the Huygens probe!

A successful landing on the surface of Titan, with data being sent back that is far in excess of that predicted.

The mission would have been considered a success, if only 3 minuets of data where received from the surface of Titan, however it now seems that we will have approximately seventy (70) minuets of data from the surface.

Three photographs have already been released, including one taken of the surface of Titan. Estimates being that upwards of 300 photographs have been taken. No doubt we are in for a visual & data rich feast, in the coming days, months & years, deriving from this mission.

Photographs & more information can be found at…

New Podcast coming shortly! Guess what it will mostly be about :).
