1250 - Interview With YTCracker | 2013-05-17

This is an interview with YTCracker, one of my favorite NerdCore rappers. You can find links to his music on his website http://www.ytcracker.com/

If you like Nerdcore Rap, a good website to check out is http://nerdcorenow.com. They have a few "various artists" compilation albums available for download.

Thanks to my guest, YTCracker for coming on Hacker Public Radio, and thank you for listening.


1176 - Intro to editing the Open Street Map | 2013-02-04

I'm going to call this an experimental episode. It's a tutorial on eding the Open Street Map at http://www.openstreetmap.org/ . By all rights, this should have been done as a screen cast, but since I have no interest in doing a screen cast, we're going to try something different. For this episode to work, I'll need your cooperation, and for it to make any sence to you, you'll need to be signed into http://www.openstreetmap.org/ . So go ahead and create an account over there (or begin the password reset process) while you're downloading this audio file. You're going to need an account if you want to edit anyway, so I'm not asking for anything you wouldn't be doing anyway. You may find it helpful to have a second tab open to http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_Features . It won't be much help while listening to the episode, but it is very helpful while editing in general.

Some people enjoy finding mistakes. For their enjoyment I have included a few.


1116 - Interview with Richard Stallman | 2012-11-12

Holy cow! I just interviewed RMS! Check it out.

I tried to conduct a friendly interview with Richard here. Every time I've heard him interviewed before, it's been pretty hostile, and I didn't want that. That doesn't mean that I only asked him softball questions, but I didn't get in his face about anything, and I gave him the time he needed to explain his answers fully. I hope I did a good job of making Mr. Stallman feel welcome at Hacker Public radio, and I hope the interview is as enjoyable to listen to as it was to record. His views on Free Software are pretty well known, so I tried to cover some things that I've never heard Richard's opinoins on as well. I KNOW... I missed some pretty obvious followup questions. I realized most of them while editing. I'm sorry. The good news is that RMS is pretty accessable, and you can probably get him to do a followup interview that we'll publish right here on hackerpublicradio.org .

Links from this episode:

I want to thank the following people who helped in the production of this episode: Richard for the interview itself. It was a real pleasure. I hope we can do it again sometime. Martin Dluhos, Richard's assistant, for setting up mumble on an FSF computer, and handeling the scheduling, etc... irc.freenode.net #oggcastplanet for all of the great questions and inspiration. You guys rock (as always)! I wish I had thought to write down who each question belonged to. Sorry about that. Door-to-door-geek, and the Linux Basix podcast for the use of their mumble server. Neil Dudeman and the other guys who listened live for the support and some more great questions. Broam (a.k.a. Brian, NOT Bryan with a why) for being a good friend, and trying to get home in time to co-host. Happy Birthday, buddy.

1038 - Interview with George Vlahavas and Andreas born of the SalixOS project | 2012-07-25

I've been using SalixOS, a Slackware derivative, for a while now and I wanted to share my love of it with it's developers and with all of you. If you find this interview or this GNU/Linux distro compelling please go to http://www.salixos.org and give it a try.

1011 - NELF interview with Robert_Schweikert of Open Suse | 2012-06-17

0818 - Sansa Clip Plus for podcasting | 2011-09-20

Long story short is that the Clip+ is pretty great as a cheap all-in-one recording device. I go into a little more detail here, and I have an idea that may make it even better.

Since recording this, I have discovered how to change the recording directory.

  1. Press the Home button to get to the main menu.
  2. Go to the "Files" option in the main menu, and navigate to the directory (even if it's on the SD card) that you want to use for recording. Highlight it, but don't open it.
  3. Hold down the center button to open a context menu.
  4. Scroll down and select "Set As Recording Directory".

0725 - NELF_Review | 2011-05-12

NELF 2011 was a blast. Here's my take on it.

Thanks to everyone who made it so much fun.

Thanks to sponsors: Redhat Enterprise Linux, and Frostbyte systems.

Thanks to Johnathan and Mrs. Nadeau for making it all happen.


0713 - NELF Interview With Matt Lee and Donald Robertson | 2011-04-26

Please consider contributing to the Free Software Foundation. http://www.fsf.org/

Please forgive the audio quality of this recording. Due to the acoustics of the room, and my crappy mic, I had to "massage" the recording an awful lot to be able to hear all three people at a reasonable level without overwhelming you with background noise. I did my best.

I want to thank Donald and Matt for making it such a great interview. They were firendly, respectful, and kind. I had a great time with them durring the interview, and at the afterparty. They represent the FSF well.


0682 - NELF & Taxes | 2011-03-15

I'm still looking for help at the HPR table at the North East Gnu/Linux Fest, and I've also found a good way to file my taxes without using windoze.

Oh yeah, and I have a cool, fun song this time.

0636 - Kid3-qt | 2011-01-10

An id3 tag is meta-data attached to an audio file, and is (ideally) about the file to which it is attached. If you've ever tried to edit id3 tags through a media player, then you know what a pain that is. If you haven't... Well, now you never have to. Rejoice! Kid3-qt is an id3 tag editor, and it is awesome.

0625 - Network Cabeling at Resno's House | 2010-12-24

Cabeling at home can be tricky. In this episode pokey and resno discuss some ways of creating a wired network in a residential space. Resno was kind enough to let us use his own home as the example for this discussion.

0606 - Thread_Repair | 2010-11-29

Not all threads are perfect, but they can be. Hackers sometimes become makers, and makers sometimes use threaded fasteners. Fasteners sometimes need a little TLC before they can serve you as well as you'd like. Also Whiskey pairs surprisingly well with Cheez-its® and Play-Doh®. If any of this sounds familiar, then this episode is for you.
