we have proposed things like including storage in the devices which enables content to be taken off air. The best example is that on a Monday, 25% of our iPlayer traffic is from last night's Top Gear. So why have a million people playing Top Gear over their ISP on Monday...
It's been an interesting 18 months since I started my current job, but it looks like it's about to get even more so. I am coming to the end of my current project this week, and a few weeks back I started looking into what I could do next. The formula goes something like...
As a year draws to a close, its always tempting to look back over the last 12 months and consider how they've been. 2008 has been an eventful and enjoyable year for me, and I'd like to share a few snapshots of what my year has been like. These aren't necessarily the best...
It’s week number 3 of my latest project at work, and time for an update. The first year or so of my job was spent on 2 projects in BBC Research & Innovation, but for my 3rd six-month block I’ve moved to our internal team of technology consultants, cunningly called the...

I think that successfully mixing old and new is an incredible skill; when done well, amazing things can happen. When done badly, the results can be hideous. To create something contemporary which retains elements of the traditional is not an easy task, but successful...
I'm coming to the end of my sixth week on a new project at work, so I thought it about time I said something about it. For the uninitiated, the first 2 years in my job are a 'training' period, when I'll spend time on four different projects for around six months each...
