What exactly is a perbcast? We're still thinking about it. Maybe you can help.

http://www.perbcast.com/

Any guesses?

A streaming radio station, ?

JimH · « **Reply #2 on:** February 24, 2006, 08:43:15 am »

Yes. In part.

lOth · « **Reply #3 on:** February 24, 2006, 09:04:00 am »

hmm.... some periodically updated audio you can automatically download on your computer and upload on your iPerb?

Mr ChriZ · « **Reply #4 on:** February 24, 2006, 09:15:20 am »

I think a perbcast is a personal time theft device.
and that It creates a Window to other worlds.

Yes. Sort of.

OK i think i got it now:

PERB stands for PUBLIC EMPLOYMENT RELATIONS BOARD

So a Perb cast is video of a bunch people sitting around a table discussing why certain people should be hired and not others.

Sounds boring to me and probably will put me to sleep, I don't need this kind of entertainment, i am bored enough all ready.

anything to do with this? does the perbcast bring any of that Canadian goodness to Media Center?

Actually, I think jgourd was right and accidentally unlocked that feature you were beta-testing:

It was what you were talking about 6 months ago, where you sell Tracks and stream muisc and had a poll to see if anyone would use it.

I think

I thought at first it was PerpCast, I had to get closer to the screen (I was not sure why you would want to stream Perps so i figured it was my eyes)

I actually made the same mistake this morning when I looked at the topic. I thought "I don't know about that, it sounds ... dirty".

Whatever it is, I'm not a huge fan of the name.

If Two People Made That Same Mistake In 80 Views I Wonder How Many More Will.

I guess "perbcast" is something that I would like to use, but will not be able to... even If I'm willing to pay for it

You think good. Here's the thread:

A perbcast is a permutation of a podcast. I think

------------
Edit: Maybe it's a perturbation of a podcast.

Definitions:
permutation:
Complete change in character or condition

perturbation:
(physics) a secondary influence on a system that causes it to deviate slightly

(Definitions from: http://www.wordwebonline.com)

A Perbcast is a Personal Broadcast

Progress so far.... (inhouse only)

MC can now publish a playlist as a podcast.

Published playlists are listed in a web page directory.

Any other user can click on a link in this directory to add the perbcast to MC's podcast list.

Then the user can play the podcast. Audio, images, or video.

A web page in progress (thanks, Peter):

Sounds good!
Out of curiosity though how will you ensure copyrighted material isn't uploaded?

We'll either filter it out or pay for a license.

But a perbcast could be just a list of your photos or a video you made.

More ways to burn time I haven't got, look forward to it!

I mistakenly Googled "pervcast".
You wouldn't believe some of the stuff I got.

Good humor, but if you really google pervcast, you get two results: one is an offer of $8.88 for domains, and the other is something about Winamp and shoutcast

OK. So I didn't really do it.
But it's acceptable. I have my Poetic License.

TimMedcalf · « **Reply #22 on:** March 10, 2006, 01:21:37 am »

That license can be revoked you know!

KingSparta · « **Reply #23 on:** March 12, 2006, 04:16:30 pm »

Rub a dub dub,
Three men in a tub,
And who do you think they be?
The butcher,
The baker,
The candlestick maker,
Turn them out, knaves all three!

The use of "be" instead of "are" may be an early modern English variant, an example of the subjunctive mood, or simply poetic license to achieve a rhyme.

Note: This license can not be revoked, unless it is used against the current leader of your country. At that point you may be banished, thus revoking your license to be poetic.

Charlemagne 8 · « **Reply #24 on:** March 12, 2006, 08:58:51 pm »

King,
You are a man of many facets.
I am continually suprised.
You would think I would be accustomed to it by now.
