I’ve been wanting something like this for a long time, if for no other reason than to prove I can do it.    I looked a bit at mychingo.com, but they force java applets on you, and I’ve never had good luck with audio and java on linux.  Also, it’s a separate hosted service and I like to be in control of the bits, at least at the beginning so I know what’s going on.  Lastly, the mychingo service seems to be on hold, and it costs money.  I might pay a few bucks a month if I knew it was going to continue.

Anyway, this is still all just alpha, and I might take it off, but for now, have fun playing with it.  Send feedback – audio or text – to let me know what you think of this.

There’s a 30 second limit, which should be fine for most people, and it requires a decent upstream connection as the recorder streams the data up at about 11k per second.  Not sure if that’s bits or bytes, but you need to be connected anyway.  However, if you’re reading the blog you’re likely connected at least some of the time
