It's been a while since I reported on the various projects that I do here and there on the Internet so as I have some free time, I thought that I would do an update on what's been going on or not as the case may be.
The sad fact is that having started a new job with a new company the process of learning new systems and new ways of doing the same tasks has been a bit, well actually, very traumatic and at this time I still don't know when things will settle down, I am assured by those in the know and also those that have gone through this sort of thing that yes indeed it will get better, I just want to know when!
Anyway enough of my troubles and struggles
The main Dirk Maggs Production website has been updated with his last audio production, which was on 1 st April 2009, I did not get chance to hear this live or on playback, which is a bit sad.
I have also done lots of small corrections all over the website that only I can see the results of, but I know that the website is better for them, honest!
On the pod cast front nothing has happened apart from the hosting site loosing everything!
which was a bit of a worry, the good news is that the backups worked, well they did for me and my pod casts are back up, but due the the stuff that I said earlier, I have not had the time to do any more, and to be a bit honest I don't know if I want to do any more at this time, as I have found that talking to a microphone is a very intimidating experaince, maybe I will have to find a book or a website that could help with getting over this problem?
The DMP wiki's both 1 and 2 are still no further forward at this time, but are still working well with what they have, so that's good.
The James Follett website has had a few internal changes that make the site a bit smaller without cutting down on the content, talking of content there has been no new content now for several years as James appears to have stopped any work on novels, radio shows or whatever, but you can see him on the Internet newsgroups winding up lots of very gullible folks, and it's always fun to see some of them walk right into it!
So that's how the projects stand apart for the last project and that is the Dirk Maggs website book.
This book is still stuck in edit hell and I have not got any further forward with it, and as so much time has gone by it is now very much out of date.
So I have decided that the best thing to do is to freeze it where it is and archive it and start on a new version or edition, which at this time without looking it up could be edition 4 or 5.
So my plan for later this year is to get on with the new edition and not have an index or two in it until the main work is complete, as you can always add an index later can't you?

Projects
I have just noticed (and is a note to me) that I have not done any updates or work for that matter on any of my projects, mainly because the change of job ect. has left me cream cracked at this time, I am hopeful that in time I will get back to doing them.
One project that does need to be moved forward is the AE35 pod cast which I have not touched since Jan and it's now very nearly March (oh where has the time gone) I do have enough material for another pod cast but don't seem to have the time to record it and upload it(the other reason is that the new computer still needs to have the software)

So What's Going on Then
I don't know what has come all over me, I mean this is getting out of hand, in that I have Blogged every day this year so far!
It will not last I am sure, real life and work will see to that and with all the changes at work I just know it will.
But as I have a 100% success rate in doing a Blog this year I thought I might just enjoy the moment.
I do want to say here that my and the ipod touch are getting along fine. the only thing that I have that I do not like is that when you are in the apps shop and ask for info on an app or download it the menu always takes you back up to the very top of the apps list, this can get to be very annoying when you have got yourself some 3 or more screens deep in the apps listing.
As with all new toys they overuse has worn off a bit and I find that I use it as an mp3 player more but now and then I can collect my mail and all that sort of stuff.
The unit I have is 32G and I have 11G free, yes I know that an awful lot of music but then I like music and also podcasts.

itouch & all that
Can you guess what I got for Xmas?, yes that's right a new mp3 player, this time it's from Apple and it's a itouch.
My old creative mp3 player has done very good service, and it still works but as I am into podcasts it does not handle them, mainly because when it was made they did not exist!
So I am now in the Apple crowd along with lots of other folk and I must say for the most part the experance has been very good.
My podcasts are all where they should be and it all sync's nice.
What I don't like is that when i transferd some of my exsisting music it never seems to have the album artwork and this is for stuff that is in the shops and had been out there for folks to buy for weeks or months why is it? The stuff is very popular eg the albums are in the top twenty.
The other thing that I like about the itouch is how light and small it is and how nice the screen is.
As I have the 32G unit you can see why I needed one that big as I have already only got 14G space left on it!
So of course it goes with out saying that in early 2009 they will release the 64G unit, not that I need that much space yet!

Updates & all that stuff
it's been some time since I last said anything in this blog, and also about the various projects that I have on the go at some time or other. As this blog is for me I think I need to tell myself what i have been doing or not over the last few weeks or so.
The Dirk Maggs books has not got any further along in its editing and the problem with the indexes still needs to be sorted one way or another. I just have not had several clear hours in which to work on the book. One problem is that after all this time of not looking at it, you forget things that are in it and also the things that you wanted to change last time but never got around to it.
The podcast website AE35 has also stalled, I have done 6 or so pod casts and then things happed and well, I am making excuses for why it just has not moved forward, one of the reasons has to be me being lazy I guess. The other is time again, always a good excuses I think or not.
One of the great things about the pod casts is that some how or other it has been found by the odd brave sole and downloaded! Yes I know quite what thay made of all of it I just don't know.
The Dirk Maggs website is up to date, as he has not produced any new work for a while I have no backlog of updates to do to the site, which is nice.
The DMP 2 wiki website has had a bit of a redesign so it has very little content, but lots of backroom stuff has been done to it, but just like an iceberg you the user can't see the effort that has gone on.
The DMP wiki website has been frozen while we look to see if DMP 2 is going to work, if it does then the content form DMP will transfer to DMP 2.
So that's the update as to how things are at this time, as summer is now almost over( if it ever started here in England) I could get some free time soon and get some of these projects moving.

Podcast
Did I tell you that I have a podcast?
No?
Well I have one, it goes back to last year, I am sorry to say that I have not been very active with it as some how or other I end up with no time and a quite place to record the thing.
I have worked out 2 years plus worth of shows if I do a 5 to 30 minute show one a fortnight. I have even got outline for some of the shows done (see I can get some things done, sometimes even books, actually I have so far written 10 books each more than 300 pages A4 size all non fiction)
I have started to wonder if i could do the podcast on my mobile then transfer it sad I know....
You want to know the name of the podcast well it's AE35 and if you do a Google you should find it, I did (ha ha) as I write this I have only done 5 shows so far, one of them lasts just 4 minutes or so ( do you know how hard it is to talk into a microphone?) with luck I will sort myself out and get some more shows done. It goes without saying that I have not told anyone but this blog about the shows, and the other thing is that I have the shows hosted for me on a site that has nothing to do with Dirk Maggs or James Follett.

AE35
AE35?
Eh?
Well its my podcast that sometimes I do. In fact, so far it runs to only 4 episodes so it has a long way to go until it has found its feet, or style. If I can be bothered I will put the URL in this blog.
As it is other things are calling so bye
