PCP Remote is a great little application for initiating Podcast Producer workflows from your iPhone. In the current iteration you can also record audio tracks from the iPhone and use them in workflows as well. Oh, and it can connect to multiple Podcast Producer servers to kick off workflows. Since one workflow can summon another or write data into Final Cut Server, this gives a lot of options for different ways to integrate Podcast Producer and automate a number of items from your iPhone. Great stuff and I for one am really looking forward to the next version as soon as the App Store approves it!

RAID1 w/out a Reformat
Note: This article is replaced with http://https://krypted.com//mac-os-x/enabling-raid-mirrors-redux for Snow Leopard. Do not use these procedures for Snow Leopard or above as they are meant for 10.5 and below. When you get an Xserve or one of the new Mac mini Leopard Server, it will come with the operating system on a single drive. In most cases, you’re likely gonna’ have a second drive in those devices. Most people are hopefully going to want to run a RAID1 on those drives. If so, many will simply choose to insert the disk, reboot and reinstall the operating system, using Disk Utility during the installation process to setup the RAID. But you don’t have to.…

Basic Git Usage
Previously we looked at installing Git on Mac OS X. Now let’s take a look at using it. The first step is to add a new local git repository that looks to a remote repository. In the following example I’m going to add a local repository called custom-safari based on the git repository at packages/custom-safari on git.krypted.com. git remote add custom-safari git://https://krypted.com//packages/custom-safari.git Next make sure you’re using the latest from the repository: git pull Then checkout from the master git branch: git checkout -b custom-safari/master Now pull the files you’ve checked out: git pull custom-safari master Now you can do your work. Edit the files, wok on them and when…

Git on Mac OS X
The latest Git works swimmingly on the Mac. To download it you can curl it from the repository: curl http://kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-1.6.5.3.tar.gz -O Next, extract the files: tar xzvf git-1.6.5.3.tar.gz Once extracted, cd into the directory that you extracted the files into and then run a make configure with the git-1.6.5.3 directory as your working directory. make configure If you cannot run make becuase you don’t have a compiler, make sure that you have installed the developer tools on your computer. Once you have run the make, run the configure, specifying the directory you would like to install into. In this case I’ll be deploying into /usr/local/git: ./configure –prefix=/usr/local/git NO_MSGFMT=yes make prefix=/usr/local/git…

Cloudy NetBooks
A friend of a friend has a nice blog in Cloudiness. As far as a stream of consciousness goes, it’s a great read and there are a number of recent posts dealing with that hot-button topic of the Mac NetBook. Disclaimer: I am a staunch believer in following the legal letter with regard to licensing and intellectual property; however, it’s also very interesting to me to keep up on what others are finding technically possible if only based on intellectual curiosity…

The Best Part About QuickTime 10
And the best part about QuickTime 10 is… Screen recording. Long a task that required 3rd party products, recording events from your screen in Mac OS X is now built in with QuickTime 10. Simply open up QuickTime, click on File and then select New Screen Recording. From there, a screen will appear with a red button to start recording. Don’t worry as that screen will not appear in your recording. Instead you will be able to use the Command-Control-Escape keystroke to stop recording. At the Screen Recording screen you will also be able to perform a few settings changes. Here, use the disclosure triangle to switch between microphones, change…

Podcast Producer Error Codes
When you are using Podcast Producer, whether you are looking in your log files on a server in Server Admin or whether you are looking in Console on a client, if there are any problems submitting jobs you should find a numeric reference code. The meaning can be cryptic, although I’ll try a little bit here: -500 = Camera agent went offline -501 = Podcast Producer agent timed out -502 = Agent failed to communicate -600 = Tunnel protocol mismatch -601 = Tunnel could not connect -602 = Tunnel timed out -603 = Tunnel failed 1 = Internal camera agent is failing 3 = Capture failed to run 4 =…
