“I’m particularly passionate about JS, PHP and audio.” Hardly the world’s greatest chat-up line, but then, Simon probably doesn’t have the need for chat-up lines.
He’s just one of the people posting in a brand new blog called “BBC Radio Labs“, which went live today; the brainchild of the FM&T team in A&Mi – that’s the team that fiddles around with new media technology within BBC Radio, and the team I’m in charge of (until they realise).
The editor, Tristan, launched the blog today. Much like Virgin Radio’s techblog was enviseaged to be, it’s the place to find out what we’re fiddling with and what might, or might not, ever see the light of day. I know we’ll do a better job of it than the techblog, which rather petered out, owing to us not having the time to fiddle with things.
It’ll never be the most popular blog on the BBC; and it’ll be, deliberately, moderately hidden – but it’ll be a fun place to discover what we’re working on, and steal our ideas collaborate with us.
That’s another blog I ought to write for. Sigh.
