As usual you bring to the TWiT panel your ability to explain sometimes comlicated business concepts. After that first TWiT (the disaster!) I gave you a chance the next time I heard you and found I like how you presented concepts. You communicate well. Enough from the Jason fanboy..
- Doug Walker
I have to ask though, did you ever find out which other TWiT panel members will not be on with you? I'm not trying to rake up arguments but I found it interesting - I never got the impression that TWiT was like that but I guess it must be, Leo said as much recently without too much detail.
- Andrew Forde
From the comments on this FF page alone, I don't think we'll see JC and Dave Winer on TWiT at the same time. Would make for an interesting discussion of viewpoints, though.

I needed to FTP a huge file from my home network to my server. Thought I'd use the Mac, but it turns out its native FTP client is read-only. No problem, with the Asus EEE PC on the LAN, I just used Windows XP which doesn't have such a lame FTP client.
That's likely to get me some lame BS flame mail from Mac zealots. But they will be wrong. Windows is much more macho, in this one dimension.
- Dave Winer
Terminal window lets you use the powerful unix FTP. Transmit is my usual mac client of choice.
- iSteeve
BTW, the Asus didn't become usable until I got the new driver for the touch pad. Now it's sweet. I don't mind the keyboard, I've been trained to use marginal keyboards on cell phones. This one seems practically luxurious in comparison. I'm going to be doing a lot of traveling in the next couple of months, so it's going to be nice to have a *much* smaller computer to lug with me. Still have to find a nice easy paint program for the machine.
- Dave Winer
why not use Cyberduck, Fetch, or Transmit - all great FTP clients
- Mike Hussein Cohen
*All* FTP clients are lame. Use scp.
- Keith Rollin
Im with Transmit, rather simple and easy, free too.
- Colby Olson
Are you sure about the read-only thing? Wasn't it a permission thing? I thought I uploaded files with it as well. That said, I use Transmit all the time. The .mac (eh, mobile me) synchronisation of favourites is a nice bonus when working in different places.

has bit.ly been eating most links lately? @david, that bit.ly link points nowhere useful

@acedanger, working fine here. Should direct you to an article from Macworld regards file sharing in Leopard.
- David J. Pettifor
WinSCP does all of the above (I think, bar rsync): FTP, SCP, SFTP and with various SSH encryption options. Free too, of course. Taken over from Filezilla as my preferred tool. I haven't found anything as good for free on Mac OS.
- Ian Fogg
Transmit if you wanna pay, Filezilla if you don't.
- Todd Brunner

What the heck is "read-only?" I just tried mac's ftp out, it will upload and download files just like any other ftp client.
- Owen Byrne
wrongdo-dongo Dave. You can upload as well as download with the Finder's FTP feature. Or you can kick it old-school and rock the command line interface in terminal.
- Aaron deMello
that was always one thing I hated about the Mac. Actually, I had to move some files from my old PBG4 to a XP laptop and ended up using Samba.
- Adam C.
Owen, correct. You just read a file. I think he's talking about uploading. Still I'm scheptical that the client would be designed to behave like that. Doesn't exactly go into the "pros" column for convincing me to get a Mac.
- Ernie Oporto
Dave, which "native" FTP client are you speaking of on the Mac? It's hard to get more "native" than the simple command line UNIX "ftp" and I KNOW it will work with pretty much any thing you throw at it...I use it all the time and I'm constantly bi-platform, so I'm using tools on both.
- Dennis Moser
Oh, didn't even know the FTPd in OS X was read-only. You may have saved me time in the future; was planning on using/testing it. SMB works fine (locally) for the time being.

I was 15 and eventually got NASA to send me one of my most prized possessions... an original Apollo 11 flight plan... for making some suggestion that I can now no longer remember. If you haven't seen the recent Discovery channel series, and you love the space program, you gotta watch it!
- Michael Lehman
My dad had built a new Heathkit color TV in the months before this using his GI bill so he had a new TV for this event. He had all of the neighbors over to watch. I'll never forget one of the older men swearing it was a hoax, no way a man was walking on the moon up in the sky. I was 10, and I decided then that I was never going to stop keeping up with science and technology. Look where that has got me today. :-)
- Charlene Kingston
I was 14, at the Newport Folk Festval in Newport, RI. Someone had a black and white TV plugged into the car battery of VW minivan and hundreds of people watched while some great folk musician was playing on stage. It was an amazing event, people couldn't believe it was actually happening.
- Dave Winer
I was -28, and busy not being born. I'm happy I could see stuff like this now...
- Yuvi
Wow...I wasn't even alive. That certainly would have cool to be around for.

I wasnt born yet either, but I feel like I can relate to how amazing of a moment it was. At the time, was there any feat humans had undertaken more spectacular? I consider this to be one of the most amazing feats ever still today.
- Andrew Baron
This rocks. I watched it on TV...and thanks for reminding me. I can recall it like it was yesterday.

- Fred Grott
Thanks so much for this. In an instant I was back at our shore house, sitting with parents and grandparents and sibs, only a few weeks before I left them all to go off to college. What a sense of wonder and hope and possibilities that time held! Live TV from the moon - the unbelievable, seen with our own eyes. (To her dying day, though, my grandmother blamed every subsequent hurricane on those guys jumping around up there, but then she was sceptical about automobiles, too... she had seen it all!)
- Linda Mills
Yeah i remember every minute, its very excited to me cos i wanna be an astronaut that day :)
- Muge Cerman
Come on, everybody know it was all filmed in the basement of a Hollywood studio, don't you guys read the internet? :-)

As a little kid, I remember being rather bitter that I had been born a few weeks too late... I really wanted to have been born the day Armstrong stepped out. Nothing in my lifetime has felt even fractionally as inspiring as the moment I barely missed.

This is why I'm looking at alternative computing models to deploy my engines on. I think I'd break S3 very fast. Need a better cloud. Is App Engine the answer? Not sure. Maybe talk to David Sabey, Bob Franza, and Craig McCaw's people about it.
- Brian Daniel Eisenberg
We were having this exact discussion at CloudCamp London last week. How do ensure that you have (cheap) redundancy across clouds given that most cloud computing platforms are currently incompatible and based on radically different models. Sadly AWS's european MD hand-waved when I asked about the possibility of cloning their APIs
- Adewale Oshineye
Cloud Computing removes the single point of failure but if the single point of your system is Amazon S3 it's still a single point of failure..
- Stuart Woodward
Boo...No Sarah Perez or Corvida. But congrats to the ones I do follow: Veronica Belmont, Gina Trapani, Emily Chang, Leah Culver, & Justine Ezarik.
- Mark Krynsky
There's always a few missing on these lists (especially niche bloggers including the above ... Ann Smarty, and Shana Albert) but this is an incredibly good list (with descriptions). Well worth exploring!
- Charlie Anzman
Ditto Mark, plus congrats to our Tamar, and Amber MacArthur as well (fan of her stuff as well) - finally a list of females in tech and blogging that doesn't involve "sexiest" or "nakedest."
- Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins
No Natali Del Conte either. Seems more like a "Female Bloggers Influential To Other Females" list. Not so much a list of bloggers that have appeal to men and women, except for some like Gina, Veronica, Cali, etc.
- Jim Bergman
Well Female bloggers usually gets 'popularity' faster...but nice list.
- Saad Kamal
This reminds me that had I not given up on the first blog I started back in 98, maybe I'd be on this list. But I don't have the drive and passion these very worthy women have! Congrats to you, Veronica and all on the list! More importantly, keep doing what you do, because it is important and valuable.
- Shawna Benson
What an impressive list! Quite a few I follow already, but nice to have some more to check out.
- Sally Church
ok which one s/we get Playboy to cover ? Remember TC's post of late ?
- Peter Dawson
Why does there have to be a separate list for most influential male/female bloggers? Why not just a list for the 50 or 100 most influential bloggers? Why the gender distinction?
- Michael Tefft
After posting about the bikinibloggers of Urlesque & the wish for naked bloggers of Playboy at http://www.aboutblank.nl it was worthwile to pay some attention to influential female bloggers. Really influential, I'm talking about. But why do all these American sites pay so much atttention female bloggers, I wonder. So sudden, I mean.
- Ton Zijp
whole story is suspect due to claim that blogging pair coined term "fugly" - WTF! :-)
- Deva Hazarika
What does it have to do with America, Ton Zijp?
- Andy DeSoto
Andy, just that the attention is there so suddenly, in such a way that they all make a list (20 bloggers Urlesque wants to see in bikini, 9 Playboy wants to see naked, 50 really influential according to N x E). I follow news about weblogs worldwide, I publish about it daily, so for me it's really surprising that in just a few days all these sites are concentrating at female bloggers. I don't take conclusions on that, but it really surprises me. July = bikinimonth? Like Urlesque said?
- Ton Zijp
I know a few, and have a few others in my rss reader. But this blog post is screaming for an OPML.

nice resource, re: formatteddad's comment- as long as there is no bias or exclussion. anything that brings more voices to the conversation- the better! sometimes we need to identify the voices that might not be getting the BIG exposure.

"If you're stuck with Windows I think Access using ODBC and Jet." But what about those of us who don't know that stuff? Anything for us? Or do I have to try running something on my 4 year old Powerbook G4?
- Adam C.
Um, that's not True Leo. You can use MediaMan on Windows and it's almost exactly like Delicious Library. You don't need to give yourself a headache with Access. :-)
- Joe
Hope the new software helps, can't wait to see if I notice any changes. Hope you feel better.
- Kyle DeFacis
Sorry Leo, but you have to take care of your health.
- mark dekruyter
Hope ya feel better! You keep getting me addicted to new social web 2.0 sites!
- Mike
Hope your are feeling better Leo...
- John Spencer
Leo: we're ordering a Tricaster for the new Mahalo studios in Santa Monica. which one should we get?
- Jason Calacanis
That depends on whether your cameras are sending SDI or Analog video. For the cameras we're using, which send S-Video, the Studio is fine. If you want to support HD or other SDI cameras you'll have to go with the Broadcaster
- Leo Laporte
Leo, we’re setting up two studios for clients and one for us here; what cameras are you using? We are looking at the studio but were told that we would have better quality of pictures streaming using HDMI.
- Kevin Tunis
sorry about that Leo; hope you feel better. and thanks for finally convincing me to try FriendFeed
- joecab
heat a healthy amount of red wine, add honey and cinnamon. Drink when it's hot but not enough to burn you. If it doesn't make you feel better, at least you won't care a damn bit ;o)

Big Bad Bill may not like Obama but he could not conceive of McCain continuing the total dismantlement of the liberal manifesto (whatever that is)
- Herb Myers
Pres. Bill Clinton is the party's past and Sen. Obama has the chance to be its future. Maybe Bill should try kissing Obama's ass if he wants to continue to be relevant figure in the Democratic party.
- Joseph Ferris
Ok, trying FF as well. Still like twitter and will be sad if I have to leave it

Like Napoleon's army after the defeat in Moscow, straggling west, fleeing the hideous frozen hell, we are moving into the (for me, at least) unknown...
- Dave LaFontaine
It seems to me this is kind of a moot point. You draw those who follow you into your convesation and if someone makes a comment that continually intriques you all you have to do is simply subscribe to their ff. No need to wage a big dick contest with numbers of followers here. Its all about the conversation. Just an observation at this point.. I'm just now starting the migration from twitter to FF myself;-)
- Curtis "Billy" Cross
from twhirl
Just subscribed to you, feel free to follow back!
- KyleM
Hi Jason, thanks in advance for the follow.
- Larry Kless
Yes please - it is a challenge how to parallelize your twitter connections on FriendFeed. They really need a good import interface with automatic notifications via DM back to twitter followers.
- Jed White
Great stuff Jason, fan of your work. It would be great to have a Twitter/FriendFeed contact sync application. I'm sure you know some peeps to make that happen. =D
- Grahm Skee
Just discovered friendfeed. Pretty cool stuff.
- George Gray
I'll simply cite Rob Clark, who so eloquently put it: "I believe you're already subscribed to me, but now you can be double-secret-subscribed..." ;-)

"Addington went on to explain how the enemy's actions -- "smoke was still rising. . . . 3,000 Americans were just killed" -- justified his legal reasoning." There is something very wrong when you're own reasoning is changed by the actions of others.
- AJ Kohn
And they will go to their graves believing they were right and just and successful. Mores the pity for the 4000+ American dead because of them.
