InverseATASCII - Atari 8 Bit Productivity Podcast

Recommended Posts

This is a one time cross post to raise awareness of my podcast. The formal thread was created some time ago and is here:

http://atariage.com/forums/topic/229819-inverse-atascii-atari-8-bit-productivity-podcast/

 

It came to my attention that many 8 bitters don't venture outside this forum, and some of you may find the podcast entertaining.

 

You can find the podcast website at http://inverseatascii.info

You can find the podcast on iTunes or download it from the website.

 

I apologize if the cross post offends anyone. It wont be repeated.

Thanks!

Thanks for the compliments! Though I hadn't specifically set out to cover type-ins, there are a few that were on my radar. SpeedScript and SpeedCalc in particular. So yes, they will be covered. I used SpeedScript extensively through high school, and sometimes AtariWriter, but favored SpeedScript due to the use of the true descender font.

I just finished the Calculator episode and now there's yet another one. I need to move away from my workplace to get enough commuting time for all the Atari podcasts ;)

 

Seriously, anyone who hasn't listened to Inverse ATASCII should give it a try!

Season 1 Episode 5, APX Decision Maker, has been released.

I listened today at work - great job as usual.

I do have one small nit about your pronunciation of the word "attribute" - as a noun (in this episode, for instance), the emphasis is on the first syllable. As you pronounced it, it's a verb (e.g., attributing a statement to the person who made it). I know it's a silly thing, but a I've done a fair amount of professional public speaking and things like that catch my attention.

 

But content-wise, excellent! Keep up the great work. :)

That and the use of affect and effect cause me issues repeatedly. Thanks for the feedback, I'll try to do better.

I really like this podcast! I think it would also work well as a youtube series as sometimes it's a bit hard to follow along by audio only. I'm really curious if any of this software would be at all useful in this day in age.

 

I was thinking this too. A Youtube video version would be very nice.

I would love to see someone do youtube tutorials with these programs. Something similar to all the Microsoft, Adobe, etc. software tutorials you see on line.

 

By the way, love the new podcast, just wish there was more to the program. That's the problem with some of the APX stuff. Some of the apps tended to be for very specific tasks although that was what was great about APX at the same time. Some of those programs would probably never would have been published by other software publishers.

Here is the link for the enhanced version of S1E13. It is chapterized AAC. Note that this was an experiment. As such there may be too many chapter marks, in the wrong spots, etc. I was mainly playing with embedding the screen shots in the right locations. When playing, it should show artwork/screenshots at the appropriate spots.

Adding the screen shots tacked on a bit of time to the production. I don't think I'll continue this practice because I want to reduce the production time. AAC also provides it's own set of challenges for many listeners.

 

Im still curious what your thoughts are surrounding it.
