The badly-joined view from Alexandra Palace of London, during my trip there this Sunday
Work
BBC iPlayer: new-look 'radio and TV' service to launch [guardian.co.uk]
All our hard work begins to pay off…
Music recommendations
A Mashed project from Nick Humfrey and Patrick Sinclair – here's the shows I'd apparently like. For their music content, presumably – I can't abide Russell Brand. Good to see former colleague Pete Mitchell at number 8.
Customer service, the BBC way
Read the blog post. Read the comments. It's like magic
Other work
Media UK
I'd kind of like to apologise to my former colleagues for the awful, awful gag they've all heard before in the new cartoon gracing this page
AJAX Libraries API [Google Code]
Media UK uses scriptaculous (and prototype), and that's referenced from every page. And now, Google's picking up the download bandwidth tab, and it's faster for my users. Thanks big g.
Radio things
Fresh Thinking! – by Geoff Lloyd [One Golden Square]
"There are armies of brilliant, imaginative people working throughout commercial radio, but they?re frustrated, withering away, crunching numbers and following obsolete dogma." – brilliant.
Digital Radio Working Group sets out vision for digital future [DCMS]
"For DAB to be a realistic replacement for analogue radio, the current reach of DAB networks to 90 per cent of the population must increase, as must the robustness of the signal."
It just didn’t cliq [dodgy reception]
Mystery blogger tells me I "missed the point". Pah. As if I'd *ever* do that. Cough.
My time in Mumbai [One Golden Square]
Chris Goldson, my travelling companion for a trip we did to Mumbai, finally does a writeup of the trip. Only two years late. Rubbish.
OpenPhotoVR
Wow. This is cool – a kind of 3D photo gallery which you ought to take a peek at for yourself. I've linked to the Sydney Opera House which uses my photo, but take a look at the others
