Using Twitter to promote radio shows

Saturday, January 26th, 2008

I've recently started using Twitter for a number of different radio shows I'm involved with. For those who are interested, you can now follow A Critical Ear and Media Matters show updates via Twitter. There's also my personal Twitter stream, which is somewhat more established (though still rather eclectic in ...

Vancouver ahoy!

Monday, October 15th, 2007

I'm heading to Vancouver on Wednesday, to attend the annual conference of the AoIR. Hopefully I'll be able to take the time to catch up on my posting - as well, of course, as meeting with various colleagues and friends.

Please do not adjust your sets

Tuesday, July 24th, 2007

Well, it's certainly been a while, but I'm back. After deciding on a short hiatus while I worked on becoming ABD, I found that something had been corrupted somewhere, and new posts no longer showed up on the home page. No mind, I'd already agreed a server migration with a ...

Ireland-GlandoreCoCork-DrombergStoneCircleOriginally uploaded by nznomad.I've just started seriously exploring Flickr in the last few days - I know, I know, so behind the curve on this one - and I've found it fascinating on many levels. So well designed, both in usability and the features available.I'm blogging this from ...

One Thousand and counting

Wednesday, June 29th, 2005

A minor landmark - my post earlier today about community radio licensing was the thousandth to be added to funferal. I think a small number have been removed over time, for various reasons, but with the flurry of news items today we're definitely over the thousand mark now. Thanks to ...

Minor site changes

Monday, June 27th, 2005

I've made a number of changes to the funferal site in recent days. I've updated the listing of RSS feeds to which I subscribe - including the Irish language An t-Imeall (the edge/border) to which I linked in a recent post. I've also been experimenting with various additional styles for use ...

I'm trying out a Dashboard widget, Dashblog, which will allow me to upload posts without opening Safari. The earlier version didn't work for me - hopefully I'll have better luck with this one.

St Louis it is

Thursday, May 12th, 2005

Got into St Louis about 30 minutes ago - with some last minute confusion when we realised the directions we were following were for people entering town from a different direction. Once we got near the hotel it was hard to miss - I'm on the 21st floor of what ...

NCMR update

Thursday, May 12th, 2005

I'm leaving Urbana for St. Louis in a few minutes, where I'll spend the weekend at the National Conference on Media Reform. I'll be blogging from it here, at the Be The Media blog and on the Tuppenceworth blog. Obviously there'll be a slightly different feel to the posts on ...

Minor site changes

Saturday, May 7th, 2005

I've done some minor (but necessary) work on the site today. First I fixed the problem with my spamguard, which was blocking a lot of would-be commenters. Checking out the problem brought the activity log back to my attention - I'll be checking it regularly for possible problems, but would ...
