Oh whoops, I didn't even have it the right way round! It's for darker mornings, not evenings. Blame the tories for sinking the typical level of British political discourse below fact checking.

I've got a Humax Freesat HD digibox thingy wotsit and have recently connected it to the internet with an ethernet cable. iPlayer on a big 50" screen is a wonderful invention even if the UI is a bit poo poo.

The bit of the iPlayer redesign that's really annoyed me is that they've got rid of the "big but not full screen" window size. Whose clever idea was that?

The Tories made iPlayer poo poo because David Cameron himself designed it specifically so us, the poor, can't watch what we want without getting pissed off because it doesn't work very well. I don't know.

I remember reading some really interesting blog posts by the guy who redesigned the iPlayer last time round and came in with the thought 'No-one wants to have to use a desktop application for this poo poo'. He seemed pretty insightful.

Kin posted:The BBC couldn't afford a good designer. This is true because the new and upcoming BBC website is abysmal and a mess. Even though the current chamfered boxes look isn't amazing, it's much easier to read and for your eyes to sort than the new, Windows 8 inspired web design.

thehustler posted:Also we had to change all our radio mics at work too. Which was annoying. I felt really bad for a soundman I worked with because he'd bought a load of second hand radio packs only to be told by Ofcom that he couldn't use them for much longer, and he'd missed the rebate window to get some money back for his license. Which is pretty poo poo really (we still used them don't tell the government  )

Bars of the stuff can sit in the house for weeks, but put a wee scrap of cheap chocolate behind a cardboard door and we'd knock down our granny to get to it first. I still hate all this early Christmas stuff though. Especially that godawful M&S advert.

The National Trust gets Christmas cards out in their shops in June/July. And a little bit of me dies every day I turn up to work and see them on the shelf. Luckily there's a few months between us closing and Christmas actually taking place for my anti-festive humbug to subside.

My birthday is in the middle of November, and the long standing tradition is that nobody gives a poo poo about Christmas until after that. I propose we roll that system out nationwide. Nobody give a poo poo about Christmas until next Friday at the earliest. Aw hell, I just remembered we have the singing Iceland adverts to look forward to.
