We recorded another episode ofLive From the Formosa Tea Housethis afternoon (the first episode ishere).You candownload today's episode(it's an 11MB MP3 file) or, if you're usingiPodderor its brethren, you can set up an auto-grab via RSS 2.0 enclosures from ourRSS 2.0 feed.Self-flagellation about this episode:We squeezed 30 minutes of content into 60 minutes of talking. We could probably lose a lot of the witty side-banter, and tighten up our conversation 50% and not lose anything.The soundisbetter. We were in the back room of the Formosa Tea House, where it's quieter and more isolated from the fray. Things got worse the more we went along because we forgot tolean into the microphoneas ouraudio guru Johnadvised. We need a big"LEAN IN"sign.We were more focused: we had three set topics (Firefox,silverorange stuffandmy phone adventures), and something of a structured"okay, now you're the host"system worked out in advance. We can get better at this.We flipped back and forth between"intended audiences"from"telling Ann Thurlow what Firefox is"(which will bore the techies) to"using FOAF and RSS and GPS to drive location-based Thai restaurant wayfinding"(which will bore the normal people). I don't know what the solution to this is. Maybe there isn't one.Steven needs to read thehow to pronounce Rukavinaguidelines.We have a nifty intro theme, courtesy of GarageBand on my iMac.It was still fun and we'll do it again next week.Listener feedback is, as always, welcome.Update:Here's Steven's original outline for the show:Steven (me): Firefox 1.0 Preview Release (grilled by dan)How did we get involved, how are we involved?1.0PR features/fixesRSS stuff (live bookmarks)Overall polishNew Find toolbarupdate notificationsSSL visibilityNice linux keyboard stuffUsage trendsDifferent types of usersDefault installSpyware/popups, etc.Numbers - SpreadFirefox.comDan: silverorange stuff site (grilled by peter)reputationsvs. epinions/amazon-reviewGoogle ads ($$$)Peter: The Reinvented telephony setup (grilled by steven)Why?tech setupcostsfuture ideas?other VOIP stuff
