Video Podcasting You Tube to the iPhone / iPod Touch
Earlier this year I bought and iPod Touch for podcasts, music and web. I have been happy with it as a gadget and it is a big step up from my HP iPaq. One of the things I wanted to do was more video podcasts. Whilst doing a little googling I stumbled across and interesting site called RssHandler which neatly turns URLs such as a YouTube Users page into a video podcast. Best of all it is free and higher quality than most of the YouTube applications that are bundled with mobile devices.
Ok to take you through an example, say I want to subscribe to
http://www.youtube.com/user/fishwithtrish
I would go to this page and paste the link into the Channel URL box, pick a format (MP4 probably best) and hit the Generate button.
This will give you a long link which you can paste into your Podcast software such as iTunes:
And that is it – enjoy your YouTube on the move!!
And be sure to visit the Fish With Trish blog too.

Dandy In A Blur
Dog photography is often tricky – maybe I should use the ‘Action’ shot settings more!!

Starting the Year with a Twitch
Imagine the scene, you are on the beach with your trusty spaniel at your side, enjoying the bracing 2009 icy air and the space. Just like this pic:
Anyway, I scoop up Dandy’s well loved tennis ball and give it a good chuck down past the burn toward the sea birds on the shore line. I then spin round to see an unexpected site of a gaggle of Twitchers completed with serious anoraks, telescopes and lenses that a tabloid photographer would be proud of. I hope the doggy antics did not spoil their 1 chance in 25 years viewing of the Less Spotted Hog Snout. (Okay I made that up – a good google did not give me any good twitching news site revealing the target of the spying. They probably do it all by carrier pigeon instead).
As I walked off the beach and past the Twitchers, not a single hardback thumbed copy of ‘2008 Birds of Britain’ was hurled in my direction so I think we were okay.
Happy New Year to you and I hope you find what you want to spot this year!
