Social systems: new podcast

I presented at an academic conference in Ascona Switzerland yesterday.  The presentation covered some statements about what is or is not possible in modern system design and then went on to the basics of complexity theory, pattern based intelligence and the design principles and applications behind SenseMaker™.  The start will have some new material for those who have heard the basics elsewhere, and overall it is a slightly different take than the normal commercial conferences.  I am also testing out my new digital recorder which is very cool (the battery compartment comes off to reveal a USB stick).  However I have not worked out all the settings yet so the files are large .....

The podcast and slides are now available

I have tried to subscribe to the podcast via iTunes and get an error message telling me that the link does not seem to be a podcast url. Does anyone else see this problem?

Dave - The file is 128 kbs which is fine for music but overkill for a voice recording. 32 kbs should be enough. Your voice recorder may allow you to record at different sample rates but you probably need a package like Audacity to process the recordings. Here is a version (I tweaked down the gain massively so it'll sound a bit quiet - that's nothing to do with the compression process): http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/1/26/1721481/Ascona%200408_32.mp3
