ChucK : Concurrent, On-the-fly Audio Programming Language
Watching a demo of ChucK, a nice open source programming language and environment developed by a group at Princeton.
From the site:
ChucK is a new audio programming language for real-time synthesis, composition, and performance, which runs on commodity operating systems. ChucK presents a new time-based concurrent programming model, which supports multiple, simultaneous, dynamic control rates, and the ability to add, remove, and modify code, on-the-fly, while the program is running, without stopping or restarting. It offers composers, researchers, and performers a powerful and flexible programming tool for building and experimenting with complex audio synthesis programs, and real-time interactive control.

Andrew Greig has setup something amazing, DIY all the way. A big satellite fed Myth TV setup, WiFi, VOIP and Sharp Zaurus thin clients serving his entire neighborhood. Wow…!
iPodder 1.0 released
iPodder, the cross-platform Podcast receiver.
So the question is, what is a Podcast?. The answer: An audio bloggers wet dream.
Someone needs to make something like this for the video blogging community. I know, i know, people are working on it but we don’t have a dominant video device with the market share of the iPod yet (and that is a requirement).

Helix: Welcome
I see why people are going with Darwin on the open source server front. The Helix version is crippled.
Helix DRM implements “Broadcast Flag”
Real’s Helix Move
Ok, so, Helix DRM is open source… Broadcast Flag is the broadcast industry’s attempt at making it impossible to make perfect copies of digitally delivered media (DTV).
So my question is, since Helix implements it, meaning that it pays attention and can include the flag in subsequent uses of the media and Helix is open source, why can’t some enterprising coders just modify the Helix DRM to act like it cares but strip the flag out in the final product? I don’t get it… I just don’t get it.
