d.Construct Podcasts

15 November 2005

I had the pleasure of attending the UK’s first grass-roots Web 2.0 conference on Friday, courtesy of clear:left. d.Construct was a thoroughly successful event with some great presentations and a fair amount of meet and greet in the pub afterwards.

My job for the day was recording the presentations for podcasting, so I got to geek out with audio stuff whilst everyone else geeked out with SubEthaEdit.

Well, after some cleaning up and trimming of the tracks, presentations from Andy Budd and Stuart Langridge are now available. Point your podcast client at the d.Construct podcast feed. Complete with cheesy introductions. Yeah, baby.

Keep checking the feed, as the other presentations should make it out across the rest of this week.

Update: Simon Willison’s presentation on Ajax and the Flickr API is now live.

§ Jessica: I to was there had alot fun. Andy and Stuart did a great job
§ Jonathan Kahn: Drew, thanks for the high quality audio. If you do any more conference podcasts, you’d better not advertise it beforehand or people might not bother to attend…
§ Zach Inglis: I did look out for you but I don’t think I managed to find you. Shame.
§ Tom Hume: Hey Drew – any sign of those final mp3s?
§ Yevhen Webber:
Thanks for files. I’m far away, so that is only one way to get information :)

About Drew McLellan

Drew McLellan has been hacking on the web since around 1996 following an unfortunate incident with a margarine tub. Since then he’s spread himself between both front- and back-end development projects, and now is Director and Senior Web Developer at edgeofmyseat.com in Maidenhead, UK (GEO: 51.5217, -0.7177). Prior to this, Drew was a Web Developer for Yahoo!, and before that primarily worked as a technical lead within design and branding agencies for clients such as Nissan, Goodyear Dunlop, Siemens/Bosch, Caburys, ICI Dulux and Virgin.net. Somewhere along the way, Drew managed to get himself embroiled with Dreamweaver and was made an early Macromedia Evangelist for that product. This lead to book deals, public appearances, fame, glory, and his eventual downfall.

Picking himself up again, Drew is now a strong advocate for best practises, and stood as Group Lead for The Web Standards Project 2006-08. He has had articles published by A List Apart, Adobe, and O’Reilly Media’s XML.com, mostly due to mistaken identity. Drew is a proponent of the lower-case semantic web, and is currently expending energies in the direction of the microformats movement, with particular interests in making parsers an off-the-shelf commodity and developing simple UI conventions. He writes here at all in the head and, with a little help from his friends, at 24 ways.
