Listen to the Podcast Once (55 min) Today is Sunday March 22nd, 2009, and this is show number 196. Have you guys thought up anything clever for the 200th show? I think Steve is working on an idea but I have no idea what he's up to - has me intrigued! Emergency power Search on podfeet.com I want to thank all of you for never once yelling at me for how AWFUL search is on podfeet.com. For crying out loud guys, it's dreadful and nobody ever pointed that out. It's not that I didn't know it was dreadful, I just couldn't figure out how to fix it. I tried to put in google search but for some reason it just wouldn't work. then research assistant Niraj suggested I try out the Wordpress plugin Search Unleashed. Sounded like the answer to my problems, but I installed it and it didn't work! I mean, it didn't work at ALL. I couldn't even find Honda Bob with it! I complained to Niraj that his plugin was dumb and then he asked me I'd configured it. Now of course I TRIED to configure it but I couldn't find the configuration settings! Here's one of the problems - Wordpress has been updated a bunch lately, and the version I was used to using had a section called Manage and that's where plugins configuration options are shown. The latest version though, 2.7, doesn't have a manage section. Niraj helped me dig around till we found it in Settings, and sure enough there's a button you have to click that says "index". Um, duh, I guess if it hasn't indexed it, no search engine could ever find Honda Bob, even on MY site! I clicked on index and sure enough, we now have REAL search on podfeet.com! Go give it a try, and thanks again for never pointing out how lame it was. DVDpedia and more I don't think any application I've ever reviewed has gotten more response from users than the one I did last week on DVDpedia. One of my favorites was the comment on the blog from Conor - (a different Conor) when he wrote that he was listening away to the show when he suddenly realized that I was reviewing the product that HE wrote! What fun for him - especially since I liked it! About 126 people sent in emails after the review about the free iPhone app called PocketPedia, but I have to give first dibs credit to Jena because she told me about it AGES ago and I forgot all about it! Pocketpedia allows you to sync your DVD collection from DVDpedia over to the iPhone. I downloaded & installed it from iTunes onto my iPhone, and sadly it was empty. Well I guess that makes sense, have to get it to talk to my collection first, right? Well luckily it wasn't without entertainment though, because you can search Amazon for movies which is pretty fun. When I got home I synced up my iPhone to my mac, and then in Pocketpedia there was a sync button all of it's own. I clicked sync and in about 2 minutes, my DVd library was in my phone. It's beautiful. It looks just like Address Book, except all of the entries have nice album art next to them. click on an entry and you get the full info about the movie, and click on the tiny album art and it flips around and you get a full screen picture of the album art. It all works exactly like you would hope it would work! But that's not all! I got an email (or I should say several emails) about the plugin for Front Row that allows you to view your DVDpedia library, which is really cool if you have an Apple TV or Mac Mini hooked up to your TV. Scott told me about that, and while that sounded nifty to me, I told him I thought it would be a big ol' tease though because while you could see the images of your DVD collection, Nosillacast no
