GSelector has a slew of terrific new features as version 3.11 is released to the QA teams. Consultancy Some new ideas seem to be surfacing at Rhubarb Radio, one of Birmingham’s Internet Radio stations. More when they coalesce. Top Secret Again, I wish I could say more, but this is still under wraps. But: more discussions, all positive, and the project moves forward. 2009-02-28T09:25:01+00:00 /site/jan-2009/ Help Authoring At RCS UK headquarters for an overhaul of Help for Master Control Splits. Turned in helpfiles for AirCheck India, updated the helpfile for the flagship, Media Monitors - another program which goes from strength to strength. Media Courses Worked with the talented students at Birmingham City University and Staffordshire University. The Hot New Project Drafted a revised proposal after detailed feedback from partners at the mothership. But I still can’t say what the project is going to do. Not yet. 2009-01-31T13:16:00+00:00 /site/dec-2008/ Software Work on the first cut of GSelector 3.11, the new MC Editor tool and Media Monitors. Consultancy Another two days at the excellent Coast 106 in Southampton, working with their small but hugely talented staff. This is a new format for the UK, and I wish them all success. It’s a tough time to be building a new radio brand. The hot new project Slow but satisfactory progress. Detailed feedback from the mothership after my second draft proposal. And encouraging response from potential funding sources. But I can’t say any more for the moment. 2008-12-31T09:03:00+00:00 /site/oct-2006/ Consultancy I’m delighted to be able to report that most of the the UTV stations I consulted earlier in the year have seen, overall, an overall increase in reach, hours, or both, in the Summer/Early Autumn Rajar figures! Podcasting Nothing this month - I had a hard disk crash which ate up ridiculous amounts of time. The most recent four are now always available at itunes and feedburner. Help Authoring Another visit to RCS NY for work with a counterpart Help Author who documents NexGen, a playout system new to the RCS family. We worked on a joint document of immense complexity and exhaustive thoroughness, detailing the integration between ‘my’ scheduler and ‘her’ sequencer. It was a great pleasure. Then a solid week crafting fresh Help documents for Media Monitors: three new products. 2007-10-31T12:46:00+00:00 /site/sep-2007/ Video Update Media Monitors video. Revise intro topic for GSelector video. Radio One consult/training trip for UTV Radio in Bradford.  Podcasting The Radio To Go Podcast is at itunes and feedburner. This is a side project and labour of love. Generally, four editions are available at any time. This month’s is a special on Gigbeth, which takes place in November; the most adventurous yet in musical terms, to reflect the festival. Documentation More work in RCS GSelector: version 3.6.0 is in full beta test mode, with lots of new features - so I’ve been busy revising help, testing integration with the NexGen playout system, and co-authoring a document on this new area with a help author seven time zones away. 2007-10-05T09:19:00+00:00 /site/aug-2006/ Help Authoring On site at RCS New York towards the end of the month for some serious heads-down work on the rapidly developing GSelector; more integration work with NexGen: and updates to Media Monitors.
