This week we’ve got the last two video interviews from CSUN Persons With Disabilities Expo. We’ve got RSLSteeper from RSLSteeper.com<\/a> and Autismate from Autismate.com<\/a>. In Dumb Question Corner, I show Steve Mandala how to record an Internet radio stream using Audio Hijack Pro from rogueamoeba.com<\/a>. In Chit Chat Across the Pond we’re going to put the nerd beanies on pretty tight. First Bart walks through how to lock all of your preference panes, then we go full speed as Bart answers Ryan Sakamoto’s question on whether email is secure on our smart phones and how to digitally sign and encrypt your email with S\/MIME.<\/p>\n

\nHi this is Allison Sheridan of the NosillaCast Mac Podcast, hosted at Podfeet.com, a technology geek podcast with an EVER so slight Macintosh bias. Today is Sunday March 31, 2013 and this is show number 412. This week we’ve got the last two video interviews from CSUN Persons With Disabilities Expo. We’ve got RSLSteeper from RSLSteeper.com<\/a> and Autismate from Autismate.com<\/a>. In Dumb Question Corner, Steve Mandala asks me to write, or get someone to write him a script to record an Internet radio stream and I get him an even easier and better answer. In Chit Chat Across the Pond we’re going to put the nerd beanies on pretty tight. First Bart walks through how to lock all of your preference panes (and of course he made a Clarify tutorial on that<\/a>). Then we go full speed as Bart answers what was SUPPOSED to be a Dumb Question Corner from Ryan Sakamoto on whether email is secure on your smart phone. Hang on for that one, but first I have to complain again about trying to watch television.<\/p>\n

Happy Mail<\/h3>\n

I got a letter this week that really made my day, and we thought you might enjoy hearing it. It’s from John Haller. He wrote: <\/p>\n

Allison,
\nI was food shopping and listening to your podcast and you were ranting about the markings on a gadget which were a O and a vertical line you defined as “pipe.” This is a particular marking that I have been confused about about for years. I was so happy that I wasn’t alone. Some dumb person thought this was intuitive. He was wrong. My son’s always give me a hard time. Dad, can’t you remember? No Dammit. <\/p>\n

And then you referred to your Dad saying that additional car options were just “more things to go wrong.” I about fell over laughing. The other shoppers looked quizzically at me wondering what I was listening to. My Dad always said that about gadgets, and he had a point back in the 50’s. He was referring to air conditioning and power windows. Now I won’t buy a car without it, but I always evaluate an option with him in mind.<\/p>\n

And then you ranted about cars and big trucks. I have a big truck and love it. And you little car people annoy me. I had to drive a small car for years until I could afford a real vehicle made in America. I accept your apology.<\/p>\n

In any case, I am in awe of your skill in producing a podcast which moves effortlessly and is informative and entertaining. Your honesty in describing you abilities and lack of abilities is remarkable. Makes you very human and easy to relate to.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ok, that last part was just self serving for me to read but I really enjoyed this entire letter. I wrote back to John and explained that he MUST be my long lost (older) brother, because my dad was ALSO talking about power door locks and windows when he used to say “just something else to go wrong.” I’m so glad he’s forgiven me for my comments about big trucks.<\/p>\n

I’ve got two video interviews from CSUN Persons With Disabilities Expo. Last year I interviewed some folks who were working on a prototype of a device that would be plugged into an iPad, and which would tap into the VoiceOver controls and allow a mobility impaired person to use physical switches to control the iPad. That company didn’t come to production, but RSLSteeper<\/a> did just that. I’ll play the audio for you here, and when you’re done listening you might want to head over to podfeet.com and watch the video.
