03/08/2006 richard Comments 0 Comment

The media is in a time of convergence and that’s what some people find fascinating. i’m listening to a number of podcasts about technology, the media and computing in order to keep informed on developments. Today I will be working once again with footage that has been shot in another country. What makes this particularly interesting is that the footage is coming from Hungary whilst I will be in Switzerland. I will see the races take place, then I will…

Over the next two weeks, I am working in part of what will become part of the new media landscape.

At the moment it’s not visible to the normal public but it is an interesting activity. As part of my dissertation, I have to understand where the documentary has come from and where it’s going.

At first it’s normal for the netsonic program to seem a little slower but once you’ve started using it and it some files are cached the…

The importance of a good title

25/04/1997 richard Comments 0 Comment

Today everyone seems to be using the web either by getting e-mail addresses at places such as Rocketmail, Hotmail, Altavista or getting webpages from places such as Tripod, The Globe, Xoom and Geocities. The use of the web has increased at an incredible speed, within the school as well as outside. It is precisely because of this evolution in technology that the school’s electronic magazine should remain with it’s name Kaleidoscope rather than changing to Contact. Contact is the old newspaper’s title which to me…
