Frankie's new warning to women

Frank, tired of his constant verbal warnings, has taken to wearing the "Don't feed the Melvis" stop sign Tee. It was funny watching him run up to a woman and point to the shirt trying to get her to stop dancing with Mel.

UL video feed: update!

Well, before I was having problems getting mp4 videos to go through the subscription feed. I purchased Quick Time Pro and tried out encoding into a quicktime movie (.MOV file) and what do you know? It went right through the regular feed. I think we will be keeping the old feed and using the quicktime movie format for our video! Just so everyone knows, Melvis got his feed to work first, so we all owe him a debt of gratitude! Visit him at melvisfan.blogspot.com and check out his recent video. Guaranteed entertaining.

UL video feed BETA

We're trying to get the hang of the whole video thing for the podcast. Expect our 1-year anniversary show (in March) to have a big announcement about the expansion of our podcast empire. Until then, you can beta test the new feed! Click the link below and add the url to your favorite podcasting software. You must subscribe to this new test feed to receive any video.

experience the feed here

I know it works with iPodder and NOT with iTunes, which will be a significant limitation since we expect this to be huge (yeah right). Anyway, you, the loyal listener can try it out for a couple weeks and let us know how it works with your preferred podcasting software. I will try to send random video clips through the pipe over the coming weeks before the official launch. Please note that this feed will include regular shows and test video only, and the new feed will have a different name when it eventually comes out.

Special thanks to the Girl on Tech for helping me get this rolling!

Thanks for staying subscribed!

Loyal Listeners help promote the UL

Okay, the gautlet has once again been thrown. Loyal listener apples has made a really sweet post on her weblog trying to drum up business for the boys in the UL. A main part of the "February sweeps" is you, the listener telling others about the show. The best advertising is word of mouth, so start talking! (unlike Greg who was sitting looking at bikini clad women the entire episode!) I know Jennifer the G.O.T. also gave us a nice shout-out a little while ago.

Thanks a bunch and chow for now, or whatever the heck Frankie says...

Melvis video

Okay, here's a video of Melvis and his new inflatable guitar. I tried sending this through his feed at melvisfan.blogspot.com and it didn't come through on iPodder or iTunes. WTF? If anybody can help me, I would appreciate it. Also, I'm using the Videora program to encode into mp4. Videora, in case you were wondering, is Gaelic for "piece of shit". Thanks to Chauvin and Pete R. I will be investing in Quicktime Pro. Feedback would be really helpful. (I'll email the very pregnant Girl on Tech. She usually is the answer).

Also there was talk of a forum for the UL. Anyone interested? It would be a fun place for unemployees to go and mingle on the interweb.

We had a friendly competition all day, and finally at 11:15 PM we surpassed the Strange Brood on Podcast Alley! And Kevin isn't even giving away cash! Let's keep this thing moving out there, people. At publishing we're at the 25 spot. I say that's a respectable first day!
