Long Time Since I blogged

A General Update….

Again, its been a while. Things have been pretty busy.

Currently I just fixed the LSRfm.com Podcasts, they were downloading a minute or two of audio the PHP was dying, FAST CGI php5 was being ghey.

So after a quick chat with Dreamhost over live chat, my script now rather than munch the file, just passes it off to a http location, less of a memory muncher too.

SRAchart is its usual self, tho we did get a full house of Charts last week, (well near enough), Ellie Goulding and Owl City are dominating, and Glee Started Charting too.

(Yes I am a Glee Fan)

Handed in the Motion Graphics Brief.

So Uni Wise I just need to sit down and code code code, both for Project 2 (ala 360gaming.net enhancements), and start planning and researching what I need for project 2.

And start writing an essay for Futures and Strategies, fun times.

I’ve not had any spare time to play Halo, tho the Reach Beta has been announced! Hurrah!

Now I must get back to coding stuff for LSRfm.com fixed the Jukebox, now to do the music db, tho I do have a nice IRC bot sat in the new LSRfm.com Chatbox

Also <3 jQuery....

Testing a LSRfm.com Podcast Player Embed

Testing embedding LSRfm.com Podcasts in a non LSRfm.com Place, with a nice Player

So heres all the LSRfm.com Podcasts, might take a while to load, as the big feed of all podcasts is rather, rather big.

Pretty nifty, Longtail Videos, player just munches on the LSRfm.com Podcast Feed, I had to add media:thumbnail for the images, but that is useful anyway.

Muzu.TV helps the SRAchart

Muzu.tv – With This Weeks Chart

After a London Meeting with Muzu.TV, the Student Radio Chart, which I co-ordinate for the Student Radio Association and Stations around the country we now output some chart data via their video Service.

I just compiled this weeks, have a watch….

Check the channel on Muzu.tv and follow the SRAChart on Twitter @SRAchart, finally tune in each week from 3pm on a Sunday!

Marriage of Figaro

Opera!

Will be posting photos later this week of some lighting I have designed for Opera Soc’s Performance of Marriage of Figaro.

Opening night is tomorrow night in the Riley Smith Hall at Leeds University Union, on until Saturday!

If you’re about about and fancy a opera come on down!

In terms of Tech. I’ve got standard generics, tarts, cans and Source4 Jr’s. Plus a load of Parnells with Scrollers on. All running off Zero88’s Bull Frog lighting desk.

Motion Graphics

Upcoming on this Blog: Motion Graphics, ala Degree Coursework.

Part of my degree is to create a 3-4 minute project, using Adobe After Effects.

So this is the first of many blog entries on the Subject. This blog (under this category) will form part of my project entry, (5% in fact), as a production journal.
So any comments will come in handy!

Currently I’m slightly add odds, but have a thought of creating a advert for Firefox or perhaps google chrome.

Ultimately using shape and colour manipulation to merge the relevant browser logos to create the chrome one.

Perhaps starting the 3-4 mins with a quick browser history, Netscape anyone??? 😛

Watched Transformers (the first Michael Bay one) today and having watched Start Trek XI by J.J. Abrams, should be good inspiration for this project, in terms of technology.

Avatar might be a bit far…..
