The world has a new podcasting fan — me. I noticed that iPodder has entered Debian unstable a few days ago (thanks Hilko Bengen!). After a few problems (see bug #326686 for a solution), it now works and looks quite nice to me. I have never used iTunes, so I can't really comment on how iPodder compares to it (anyone?). Also, please leave a comment if you can recommend any other (better?) free software "podcatcher". I noticed podracer, a command line program, which is nice for "headless" usage...

I subscribed to a few initial podcasts for now, more will certainly follow:

• Daily Source Code — probably the most well-known podcast (by Adam Curry, inventor of podcasting)
• Celtic Music News — great celtic/irish music (various artists)
• Tagesschau Podcast — a German news program (I blogged about that before)
• DE:BUG POD — electronic music by various netlabels (lots of crap, but then there are some really awesome tracks there, too)
• this WEEK in TECH — famous tech-related podcast

My subscribed feeds are available as OPML file, I'll update the list from time to time... Any recommendations for good podcasts are welcome!

Oh, and I'm also thinking of starting my own podcast soon, stay tuned!

So I took the Debian Quiz, too.

The result is not too good:

You got 36 of 41 (87.8%) right.
Pretty good. Some answers were still wrong, though.

Who else doesn't remember how often Branden Robinson ran for DPL?

The Debian project turned 12 today! It's come a long way since 1993, and still gets more and more popular (for good reasons). For more details on the history of the project, see A Brief History of Debian.

Due to the lack of a working TV-card for testing purposes, I seek a co-maintainer for the aatv Debian package. aatv is a program to watch TV in a text-based console (uses aalib).

If you're interested, please contact me.
