Community Radio - Unproductive members
And of course all stations want productive volunteers but there are occasions where there will be members that go against the best interests of the station. If the volunteer responds to rational its not a problem, however its not always the case. I think one needs to give them some time away, suspend their membership if they continue to be a problem revoke their membership. If they progress even...

Poetry 3 - The ever cheery geek
I repeat my statement to you at nauseum But you never listen I proclaim the wonders of modern functions But you live in the past I smirk when I get my way I cry out in pain when I don’t The endless see of troubled times Still lingers when you are gone Caught in mid air like a drop of rain falling to earth Who’s fate is sealed Stuck in an endless circle TheFuzz Posted via...

Poetry 2 - Freedom
As the sun sets I can’t help But feel free And restricted At the same time Freedom is more than freedom as we know it Freedom is not really freedom. Pale Remnants are now all that is left of the immense beauty But it will return Posted via email from Focused Zone | Comment »

Poetry 1 - Futility
Prisoner in my own world. I lock myself away in my own restrictions, My own shackles I can’t think now Peaceful serenity disrupted by life If you can call it that Cool winds breeze through me Stimulating my soul Nothing stops Nothing stands still It is all moving toward failure Its a road block only a task YOU can perform What an insignificant spec our lives really are I’m...

Motorola GP68 95% used?
Well that’s the heading I was greeted with when I first saw this ebay auction.
I ended up purchasing one of these 2 way radios.
What it infact is a commercial VHF radio that what I have read from elsewhere on the web that the parts have been obtained from surplus motorola parts and been assembled.
The end result is a radio that works and its cheap. I bought mine from a Hong Kong seller...
Google wave INVITES !!! I have many
Well I’d say google wave is getting closer and closer to at least becoming a public beta as they seem to be releasing more and more invites I’ve had a play with it and I am liking what they have been able to do, they need to increase the speed of it a touch but its really quite impressive. That said if you want to check out what the hype is all about. Let me know I can hook you up...

Things that annoy me.
http://www.northernstar.com.au/story/2009/01/10/lifesavers-website-summer-meltdown/
Things like “all my technicians are on holidays”
It was singular not plural.
Technician.
In fact “technician” is obtuse
If the employer had a backup or even a system administrator.
Organisation is important to an ORGANISATION.

Software Digital Audio Work Stations - Community...
I have to admit that when price is an issue that audacity does have it hands down and for doing simple podcast editing its great for the $ or the lack there of doesn’t require as much cpu grunt or memory as most DAW’s and will even run on something as unstable as windows Wink without missing a beat, pun intended. But for anything more serious it just doesn’t cut it. I have had a...
Youth in Community Radio
And no offence to any older folk that maybe reading this. But how do I put this… The oldies aren’t getting any younger. If stations don’t attract the youth the radio stations they will die with older folk. Youth programs invite youth listeners which in turn inspires youth volunteering and so the cycle continues. The guidelines suggest to loosen the leash on youth a bit to...
