I’ve been struggling with this one for a short while now - a few of the podcasts I subscribe to come in .m4a format, which is generally synicated using iTunes.

I’m a big grumpy ‘I don’t like iTunes’ type though, but I was a bit curious as to why some of my enclosures weren’t automatically downloading in FeedDemon and others were; it turns out that FeedDemon is initially set to refuse enclosures with the extension .m4a.

I think this is bonkers; that said, there might be some sort of compatibility issues with iTunes if they’re both trying to download the same thing.

Either way. To ‘fix’, load up your main FeedDemon window and do the following:

Click ‘Tools’, then ‘Options’;
Click the ‘Enclosures/Podcasts…’ button;
Add ‘m4a;’ to the big list of file extensions under ‘permitted enclosures’.

Either that, or instead of adding ‘m4a’ to said list, you can also set FeedDemon to allow any non-executable enclosures in the same options screen. Read the rest of this entry »

For about eight months.

This is just going to be awful, isn’t it? Intrigued what the touted Guitar Hero Functionality might be in the forthcoming version, but…

Extreme Metal Racing? “Choose from 10 Evil Earache racing teams like Deicide, Morbid Angel, The Berzerker, Akercocke or Municipal Waste (driving the actual dumpster truck immortalised on their album cover is a blast!)Hurl your band’s vehicle around an assortment of ghoulish racetracks as well as the pulverising deathmatch arena”

Oh god.

I’m still here, promise.

Coming up in the next few days:

• Nokia N-Gage overview
• Microsoft XBox 360 overview
• A year’s supply of mayonnaise
• Flippancy

Brilliant!

Quiet around these parts really. In Leicester a piece of road has melted and the Sun are convinced that in the current heat, estimated at 35 degrees centigrade, people are going to get cooked alive on the London Underground.

As a comparison I spent a day out in Lincolnshire fixing computers, where the only cloud in the sky was far to my left, and it was randomly purple. This was at 13:10. The secret is aircon.

Derick and I have a little project that we’ve started running recently - you can view it here, Leek and Potatoes. We’ve both decided to adopt a football team to support as neither of us really follow a local team… you can read up about our EXCITING and ZANY exploits there.

Also, bought a Nokia N-Gage but I’ve been too busy playing FIFA 2005 on it to post any impressions. A sneak peak - “It isn’t actually all that bad”.
