Podcasts

I know that podcasts have been around for quite some time already but it’s just recently I’ve really started to listen more than one podcast. Because the podcasts I listen are pretty neat I just wanted to point them out to people who might read my blog. So I composed a list!

Podcasts

Entertainment
SModcast
SModcast is a podcast from Kevin Smith and Scott Mosier.
Rogues’ Gallery
It’s a progressive rock radio which is streamed live on Friday morning here in Finland. Frans Keylard is the host of the show and he plays mainly new progressive rock and occationally few wishes the listeners have submitted. You can interact with Frans during the show in IRC by coming to server irc.thedividingline.com:6667 on channel #dividingline.
Information technology
Software engineering radio
It’s a podcast where couple of German dudes interview people and talk about subjects in software engineering. They have some brilliant stuff there. I’ve started listening it just a while and I’ve picked up so much about different things that it’s amazing. Beats easily most of the lectures I’ve been to!
The Java Posse
It’s a podcast where Tor Norbye (Sun Microsystems), Carl Quinn (Google), Dick Wall (Google), Joe Nuxoll (Navigenics) talk about what’s happening in the Java community. Another one of those podcasts which I haven’t yet had really time to listen much but I will in the future.
Security
Silver Bullet Security Show
Is a podcast done by Gary McGraw and is sponsored by IEEE Security & Privacy. Gary interviews people from the field of security. I haven’t yet really started listening this, but it’s worth of mentioning.
Security Now!
Is a podcast done by people from Gibson Research Corporation. They talk about security in information technology. Another one of those podcasts I haven’t really had time to focus but I will in the future.

iSync not launching on Leopard 10.5.3.

Filed under: Os X — Bleadof @ 18:06

I had a problem for a while that I couldn’t launch iSync normally from /Applications, but it did still did work launching it from /Applications/iSync.app/Contents/MacOS/iSync . I knew this must be an issue for someone else as well so a little digging got me the anwser from the Apple Support discussion with title “iSync won’t open in 10.5.3.”.

Fix iSync launching problem
  1. Drag iSync from Applications to Desktop.
  2. Drag it back to Applications.
  3. Try launching it normally.
