a bit of a tech podcast but tells stories of past hacks, breeches
the host dives into the background of some of the hackers.
some of these breeches are state-sponsored and political.
this one of the better tech podcasts on the inet. i like the hosts'
topics as they mostly center around linux and preferably Slackware
Linux. I agree w/ many of his political views and he's not afraid to
express his opinion. The only downside is he does tend to ramble.
this is different from many other podcasts in that anyone can
upload a podcast and it can be featured. Most of the topics are
tech based…but they don't have to be.
this is a fun podcast - the hosts tell stories of different types of
famous robberies throughout time. If u can imagine the number of robberies
throughout history…the content for their show is endless.
the only annoyance i have is the hosts are a bunch of 'dudes' and
their goofiness gets annoying rather quickly.
this is one of the best podcasts i listened to.
gives a history of the school segregation but focuses mostly on
District 13 in Central Brooklyn (Bed-Stuy)
more of a DIY tech podcast that gets into advice on running
many services / hardware on your own instead of relying
on cloud based services / companies
produced daily at about 7-10mins each episode
the host highlights side-hustles that seem to make over $500+/month
he also gives advice to side-hustlers who ask questions
think of this as a DJ set that they host in form of a podcast.
It be hit or miss - mostly club/house/deep-base music
They are long about 1 - 1.5 hr / episode
the host stopped producing once the pandemic hit.
i thought this was an excellent podcast and the content is timeless.
Only 2 seasons were produced, the first discussing
multi-level marketing (MLM), and second about the healthcare
supplement industry. The host is a great story-teller.
i think this is only 10 episodes but it discusses the career
of Prince Paul - a music producer mostly known for his work w/
De La Soul and Stetsasonic
I also listen to a bunch of tech podcasts.
Below is my complete list – there are a handful that no longer exist.

What Had Happened Was
2020-11-08 - Microphone Checka…One Two Checka
this is my first post on this blog.
it'll mostly be a space for me to express things that are going on
with me creatively or maybe politically.
who knows…either way it will be a lil bit of a journey.
i'll also try to do much of the formatting for this in a homegrown
bespoke way. allowing for a lot of creativity in styles, formatting…etc.
i've been using emacs as my text editor for little over a year.
as a computer programmer, software developer, and in system operations
i spend an enormous amount of time interfacing w/ computer systems.
this requires i read a lot and take lots of notes !
the emacs editor was suggested to me about 20 years ago by a fellow
co-worker and lisp programmer. i was in the middle of my third paid programming
gig and while i had (and still have) lots of patience then…i was just
trying to wrap my head around programming concepts at the time.
learning to use a crazy esoteric editor was not where i wanted or needed
to spend my time.
anyway…long story short; i recently began to read the emacs manual and felt
it was one of the best documented software manuals i ever read.
so good in fact; i bought the hard-copy manual from the
fsf.
my emacs journey has brought me to understanding more about emacs
lisp and i even bought an read the book "An Introduction to Programming
in Emacs Lisp, 3rd Edition".
the next step in that journey has been to read the "emacs lisp reference
manual". the issue with this book is that there are no current hard-copies of
it being sold anywhere.
the jist of it is that the book is large…quite large…at 1334 pages.
it does not make sense to sell copies of something that changes frequently.
so i decided to print it myself.
to do this i needed to pull the pdf doc to my computer
i decided to use barnes & noble printing service, but they have a limit
of 800 pages for any book. this meant i need to break apart the book
into two separate parts/volumes. i split the book at the beginning of
chapter 28. i need to also add index pages to the first volume as well as
a cover page for the second volume.
the following are commands i used to split the book into different volumes:
to see the number of pages and other details about the pdf:
$ pdfinfo elisp.pdf
to create the first volume of the book from the larger pdf doc:
$ pdftk elisp.pdf cat 1-643 output elisp_vol1.pdf
to create the second volume of the book from the larger pdf doc:
i submitted both elispVol1WithIndex.pdf & elispVol2Begin.pdf to the
barnes & noble website. these are 2 different books that have come out to
694 pages each.
i also followed the book cover formatting requirements and with gimp - created
book covers for both volumes.
conclusion:
i recommend creating a bounded hard copy of a book you want.
the process was fast, easy and cheap.
the tools to do this are free!
i will definitely do this again for any future projects.
