Fri, 25 August 2006 I have no idea how this happened, but apparently when I uploaded the MP3 for Episode 042 last night, it somehow got truncated. What should have been a 53 minute episode cut out just before the 13 minute mark. The bulk of the interview with Connie Crosby, and the entire interview with Hollie White, was lost. To make matters worse, I made the mistake of cleaning up what I thought were unneeded files, so all of my original recordings and GarageBand versions of Episode 042 were lost too. I apologize, most of all to Connie and Hollie, who took time out of their busy schedules to talk with me. I promise to bring both of them back soon, and to keep my draft files until I know the upload worked correctly. Category: general -- posted at: 1:36 PM Comments[0] |

Thu, 20 April 2006 I was so pleased to have Thea Gilmore's song on last night's episode that I introduced it twice!
Actually, the episode came together pretty well, but what with all the tracks I was using, I goofed and included two takes of my introduction of Thea Gilmore towards the end. I suppose I could fix it, but my podcasting motto is "Never look back!" I've also made an improvement to your podcast listening experience. For those of you who prefer listening on your computer, I've added the Podtrac streaming player. One of the nice features is that it lets you pause, replay, or skip ahead, without having to replay from the beginning. Enjoy! Category: general -- posted at: 10:55 AM Comments[0] |

Fri, 10 February 2006 Law Professor John K. Eason reports today on TaxProf Blog: Eason on The Impact of Katrina on Tulane Law School:
Overall, the University suffered about $200-$250 million in physical damage and an approximate $150 million operating loss. The physical damage will ultimately be covered by insurance, and some creative financing has spread the operating hit out over several years, leaving the endowment in tact. Needless to say, the University has taken a serious look at its core mission and made some strategic decisions. The law school has fortunately emerged from this strategic restructuring virtually unscathed. The administration has even restored our faculty-wide discretionary book and travel allowance for the Spring semester. Although we like to think that these and similar lagniappes resulted from the law school’s longstanding status as an effective and efficient operating unit within the University’s business model, we certainly didn’t mind loaning Dean Ponoroff to the University President for a few months to help guide these decision.

Tulane University recently released its renewal plan, eliminating several programs and laying off 230 faculty members, 65 of whom are tenured. Among those let go are several members of the Tulane Law Library. This week I talk with Lance Query, University Librarian and Interim Director of the Law Library.

Thu, 12 January 2006 Alert listener Nina Cascio had some questions about my comment in Episode 010 regarding Google, "perpetual beta," and the idea that new features are rolled out several times a day. Looking more closely at my source, I see that statement was attributed to "a web developer at a major online service," and it's not certain that it was Google. At any rate, here is the original from Tim O'Reilly's article:
The open source dictum, "release early and release often" in fact has morphed into an even more radical position, "the perpetual beta," in which the product is developed in the open, with new features slipstreamed in on a monthly, weekly, or even daily basis. It's no accident that services such as Gmail, Google Maps, Flickr, del.icio.us, and the like may be expected to bear a "Beta" logo for years at a time.

I didn't include any markup on the $1.25 price for the buttons, so I don't get any money for this. It's just for fun, and a public service. Category: general -- posted at: 10:42 PM Comments[1] |
