New Year and 25C3 Podcast Feeds

January 11th, 2009 | Category: Informatics, Life

Happy New Year!

This Year I’ve had the pleasure to celebrate New Year in Rome. What a city, I was really impressed by the number of historic buildings squeezed into a city that you can cross by foot in less than an hour. I went there with Jan and we’ve met some nice people – I definitely have to visit Rome again during summer season.

All in all the trip was a great way to relax after 5 days of action and excitement at the 25c3. After I’ve missed some good lectures there, I decided to build a podcast from the available recordings. Somehow this year nobody managed to create one, so I went ahead and wrote a Python Script to parse through the files and mirror servers listed in the 25c3 Wiki, get available files, catch the meta information from the Schedule and finally output a valid iTunes compatible RSS Feed.

The Feeds are available via FeedBurner in H.264 at 720×576 px, iPod Compatible MPEG4 Video, MP3 Audio and OGG Vorbis Audio Format. Feedback regarding the Script is always welcome.
