CCATP #785 — Helma van der Linden on Porting XKPASSWD from Perl to JavaScript
February 04, 2024 01:50 - 1 hour - 56.1 MBThis week's Chit Chat Across the Pond Lite is a stretch to the word "Lite". I'd call it a crossover episode of Lite and Programming By Stealth. Helma van der Linden joins me to tell the story of how she has successfully started the new version of Bart's fabulous xkpasswd password generation service. xkpasswd.net was written in perl ages ago and depends on very old and outdated libraries. Bart spent many months teaching the Programming By Stealth students the tools we (and he) would need to p...

CCATP #777 Angela Preston on Creating an Open Source Knitting Font
November 06, 2023 16:00 - 45 minutes - 41.3 MBOne of the great joys of Mastodon is that I’m meeting new people with a cross-section of interests that overlap with my own. By following hashtags like #programming and #technology and #knitting and #crocheting, I can find fellow nerds who are also into the crafts I enjoy. I discovered this week's guest, Angela Preston through these hashtags. She’s a knitter and she created a website by hand that explains how she built a font for knitting at sites.google.com/.... The best part is she create...
CCATP #776 Adam Engst on iPhone Recommendations for Senior Citizens

Dr. Briner joins us to tell us tales of adventure as he and his team go to Greenland to study the polar ice sheet. I never thought of geology as a sexy, exciting field of science, but after learning about Dr. Briner's work and the incredible importance of that work to climate science, my view of geology has been turned upside down. Dr. Briner is serious a...

CCATP #769 — Bart Busschots on visionOS
June 11, 2023 00:14 - 1 hour - 59.3 MBThis week our guest is Bart Busschots but this is not a Programming By Stealth episode, it's a Chit Chat Across the Pond Lite. At least within my personal definition of Lite!

April 13, 2023 21:31 - 49 minutes - 45.4 MBAdam Engst of TidBITS joins me on Chit Chat Across the Pond Lite to talk about the changes Apple made recently to the File Provider Extension. These changes had a fairly significant effect on how cloud storage providers like Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, and Box work with macOS.

While the new File Provider Extension improves several things about our interface with these cloud storage provid...

We talk through what LastPass did wrong, and what Rod appreciates about 1Password and misses about LastPass. I found it a really interesting conversation about UI design, trust, and what makes an ap...

CCATP #753 Nic of Nic's HomePod Repair
December 04, 2022 23:29 - 41 minutes - 38.3 MBThis week our guest on Chit Chat Across the Pond is Nic of Nic’s HomePod Repair. You might remember the article about Steve’s amazing experience with Nic repairing our big-girl HomePod a month or so ago. It wasn’t just that some guy repaired our HomePod, it was how he did it and how he broadcast live video of the repair as it was happening that made it even more interesting. I wanted to know more about how Nic got into doing this and how he creates his videos so I asked him to come on to tal...

November 08, 2022 00:21 - 45 minutes - 41.7 MBWiFi Generations In this week's episode of Chit Chat Across the Pond Lite, I asked Dave Hamilton of the Mac Geek Gab to come on to talk to us about mesh routers and why we might care about WiFi 6E. In order to get to that though, I asked him to lay out some groundwork. Remember when we used to talk about 802.11a then b then g then n and ac. All of us geeks memorized the speed of those different IEEE standards. And then one day the numbering scheme changed completely. I asked Dave to e...

Darcy is a fellow screencaster for Don McAllister's ScreenCastsOnline and I'm really impressed with the videos he creates. They're tight, they tell a coherent story, and he even starts with the problem to be solved! I started chatting with him about his process and discovered that he's only been doing this for a short while. I also found out that he has a far different process for creating his screencasts ...

CCATP #746 – Antonio Rosario on iPhone 14 Pro Max From a Different Angle
October 11, 2022 14:12 - 1 hour - 56.3 MBAntonio Rosario bills himself as a full-time unemployed photographer, part-time semi-employed videographer and photography instructor, and a volunteer bimonthly podcaster. He sent out a tweet in which he said, "Dear podcasters: Will someone PLEASE interview me about the #iPhone 14 ProMax?!" I expected that Antonio wanted to come on and have a discussion about the new phone's specs and a pixel-peeping level of detail about the resulting images from this new device. But that's not at all wh...
CCATP #745 – Bart Busschots on Zero Trust
October 04, 2022 01:22 - 1 hour - 67.9 MBIn this "Lite" episode of Chit Chat Across the Pond, Bart Busschots teaches us about a relatively new concept in IT security called Zero Trust.

The solution has three principles that guide organizations in developing the rules of who and which devices and networks are allowed to have access to what data and for ...

September 01, 2022 03:33 - 46 minutes - 42.2 MBTom Merritt of the Daily Tech News Show joins me on Chit Chat Across the Pond to talk about a recent study published by Sweden’s biggest car magazine, ViBilägare.

While Tom and I agree that the study is flawed in a lot of ways, we differ on how it is flawed, which makes for a lively discussion. We talk about the meri...
CCATP #740 – Allison on Bart's Let's Talk Photography – Mirrorless Camera Conversion
August 21, 2022 18:44 - 44 minutes - 41 MBThis is another crossover episode - it's an interview Bart Busschots did with me for his Let's Talk Photography podcast at [lets-talk.ie/...](https://lets-talk.ie/) about the conversion I made ages ago to a mirrorless camera. He asked me on because it looks like DSLRs are winding down and he's contemplating making the jump soon. It's a fun conversation where I also confess that I've lost the touch of editing RAW photos but I'm still very glad I brought my Olympus E-M5 Mark III to Iceland.
CCATP #739 – Bodie Grimm Interviews Orange Charger

Since then, the SMR hosts Rod, Chris, and Robb have all been on DTNS. Then Tom had Bodie Grimm of the Kilowatt podcast on his show, so Bodie and I got to be friends, and the crossovers just keep on coming.

May 29, 2022 00:37 - 1 hour - 56.4 MBIn this Lite version of Chit Chat Across the Pond, Bart Busschots talks to us about he thinks about security. Rather than try to tell us with exacting precision what to do about a current threat, instead, he talks about how to be proactive, how to convince others to accept changes in the name of security, and how to increase your security by reducing your attack surface. It sounds like a grim and boring subject, but of course with Bart as our steward for the subject, it's filled with anecdot...

CCATP #727 – Dr. Maryanne Garry on How Everything You Remember is Wrong
May 12, 2022 23:36 - 45 minutes - 41.5 MBOne of my pet peeves is podcasters who air reruns. Today I am that podcaster but I think I can justify what I'm doing so bear with me here. On June 1st, 2014, Dr. Maryanne Garry made her debut appearance on Chit Chat Across the Pond. In this terrific interview, she explains her research and the research of others in the field of how memories are formed and retrieved. Every time Dr. Garry comes on as a self-proclaimed "Crusher of Dreams", these episodes seem to garner the most interest fro...

April 16, 2022 17:55 - 46 minutes - 42.3 MBWhile Steve and I were in Phoenix visiting Steve's sister, we made a trip out to meet the awesome Bodie Grimm, host of the Kilowatt podcast at 918digital.com. Bodie's show is all about electric vehicles, self driving, solar energy, and batteries.

I haven't listened to Bodie's intro yet, but I am willing...

She'll talk about why she wanted to switch, how she tried to switch, challenges with hardware and sof...
CCATP #718 – Adam Engst of TidBITS on Apple's March Peek Event
March 10, 2022 21:22 - 1 hour - 65.2 MBIf you're looking for a methodical walk through the Apple March Peek Event that discusses point-by-point every detail and spec that Apple presented, you will be sorely disappointed with this week's Chit Chat Across the Pond. Instead of being methodical, Adam Engst of TidBITS and I dive right into the middle and enjoy ourselves talking about what we enjoyed.
