Ok, I think I’ve become a podcasting addict.

I can’t believe the number of sites I’m listening to. It has basically renewed my interest in radio.

I was considering getting into myself, using odeo but I have been disappointed in odeo. I have tried several recordings only to find that they don’t appear in the odeo account.  The user interface is pretty unusual as well. Your milage may vary. I’m looking for alternatives.

I’ve started using autohotkey on Windows/XP to automate things on my desktop.  I was inspired by a posting my Jon Udell where he described a distraction free desktop.

 So, I set my desktop background to black and my Windows XP toolbar to auto-hide.

Next, I setup some key bindings in autohotkey to :

1) hide current window

2) hide all others

3) hide/show desktop toggle

As suggested in Jon’s article.

I have to say this has been really easy.

The programming language is the same as in AutoIt, which I have used to automate backup processes. This makes learning autohotkey less painful since you are not learning a one-shot language.
