You have probably heard of podcasting, even if you are unsure of exactly what it is. In a nutshell, it is an exciting new technology that allows everyday people to become self-published, online radio and TV personalities. Podcast creation usually requires a user to have specialist software installed on their local machine and a degree of expertise; not any more. PodcastPeople is a simple web-based service that allows individuals to create audio and video episodes, write blog posts, and interact with their audience. There’s no software to download and nothing to install, the site takes care of everything for you on the web. It’s that easy.

You may think that you are a dab hand at getting all of the correct information out of the premier search engine, but are you really using Google to it’s full potential? If you have ever typed in a search term and found that there is absolutely nothing relevant in the results, chances are that what you typed in the box could have been a bit more specific. Whilst it isn’t rocket science, there are some very useful techniques that can be employed to help you hit your target first time.

With a logo that looks suspiciously like that of YouTube, a new web application is allowing users to convert and download videos found on many of the popular video archives.

Version 1 point 4
Filed Under Administrivia | Leave a Comment
After a week in the wilderness, Ultrathought is back with a new version and a whole new look.
Regulars will notice that the site is now 3-column; something that I thought was badly needed - the new space caters for post and comment related displays. The site still has a fixed width, but this has changed to 910px. Obviously this does not display well on 800 x 600 but I believe that those screens are in the minority. A ‘Holy Grail’ full screen expander will be the basis of the next version. I have kept a similar colour scheme for this version although the links work a little differently. There is now a whole page dedicated to explaining about the RSS feed; some people are still not sure what it is. For my use, the themes internal structure has been simplified for easier styling. The one thing that still needs attention is the contact system; that will come with version 1.5.
