Comments on: Well that was a strange little disaster! http://stilgherrian.com/notes/well-that-was-a-strange-little-disaster/ All publication is a political act. All communication is propaganda. All art is pornography. All business is personal. All hail Eris.

Yeah it was a mess. But I'm not too worried about this. The technical trials of a new live radio or TV program are usually done out of sight of the public. I decided to open it up and let everyone see it. Hence the "alpha" tag. I suppose it's a bit like the "rapid prototyping" methodology that programmers use: make a very rough first draft of each component, throw it al together and see what the client thinks -- and what you learn. Another analogy is that the prototype aircraft was nowhere near ready to fly. It's ended up in a flaming wreck at the end of the runway. But the black box flight recorder will tell us many things.

But, such a subjective term…

But heaps of potential :) It was entertaining even without the confounded gadgetery working, so even better when it finally does. Hilarious!
