I was actually thinking about sort of re-launching this channel as a place for people to discuss podcasts about programming |
| 16:12 |
|
sivoais |
haha :-) |
| 16:12 |
|
pdurbin |
:( |
| 16:12 |
|
pdurbin |
sivoais: no market for it? :) |
| 16:15 |
|
sivoais |
It's very specific, but so are many other IRC channels ;-) It could work. Just needs promotion |
| 16:16 |
|
pdurbin |
yeah, maybe |

sivoais: recently I started hacking a bit around my podcast listening: http://tmp.greptilian.com/tmp/feedhistory/ |
| 16:17 |
|
pdurbin |
sivoais: here a list of podcasts I had in my podcatcher the last time I exported my opml file: http://tmp.greptilian.com/tmp/feedhistory/titles.html |
| 16:23 |
|
sivoais |
nice list! I need to set up a podcatcher. My listening is mostly based on whatever catches my eye while browsing |
| 16:29 |
|
pdurbin |
sivoais: thanks. naturally, I can't possibly listen to all those. So I visit http://tmp.greptilian.com/tmp/feedhistory/out.html (a list of episodes) and download the ones that seem interesting |

I wonder how well speech recognition would work on podcasts for doing some text mining |
| 16:54 |
|
pdurbin |
some podcasts have transcripts but it's rare. e.g. http://rubyrogues.com/133-rr-threading-with-emily-stolfo/ and http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2013/11/joel_mokyr_on_g.html |
| 16:56 |
|
pdurbin |
sivoais: based on my list of podcasts, please let me know if you have any recommendations for me :) |

I see you have the Slate Lexicon Valley podcast, so how about the one from the radio show "A Way with Words" <http://www.waywordradio.org/> :-) |

hehe, first Perl Advent calendar this year is about using RDF <http://www.perladvent.org/2013/2013-12-01.html> :-) |
| 21:51 |
|
pdurbin |
sivoais: should I get into RDF or microformats? |
| 21:55 |
|
sivoais |
they're related. If you have information in one, with a bit of work, you can provide the other. RDF isn't as widespread now, but it is a more complete way of doing metadata |
| 21:55 |
|
sivoais |
oh, there was a metadata course on Coursera! |
| 21:55 |
|
sivoais |
<https://www.coursera.org/course/metadata> |
| 22:00 |
|
pdurbin |
hmm. I wish I could simply download mp4s (or even mp3s) for coursera courses. without having to sign up for anything |
| 22:01 |
|
sivoais |
oh, if you sign up, you can use coursera-dl to grab them all |

I started backing them up once I saw that a VLSI algorithms course archive that I wanted to get back to got taken down |
| 22:03 |
|
sivoais |
hmm, that's not the one I use |
| 22:03 |
|
sivoais |
I use <https://github.com/coursera-dl/coursera> |
| 22:03 |
|
pdurbin |
hmm, good to know |
| 22:03 |
|
pdurbin |
sivoais: as mp4s? |
| 22:04 |
|
sivoais |
yep, it downloads everything: PDFs, MP4s, and subtitles |
| 22:05 |
|
pdurbin |
wow, sounds great |
