New ´óÏó´«Ã½ Blogs on the Block: Web Developer and Research & Development

Baldrick and BlackadderThere are two new ´óÏó´«Ã½ blogs to tell you about that look like they're going to be well worth following.

The Web Developer blog rather self-effacingly and modestly describes itself as

"A blog about the web and the ´óÏó´«Ã½, from the people who build the ´óÏó´«Ã½ website."
From its first half dozen or so posts you can see that this is a blog that isn't afraid to get down and dirty and tell it how it is. As Richard Northover, a developer at the ´óÏó´«Ã½ who's also one of the blog's editors, writes in his introductory Hello World post:
"This new blog will be from people who spend their days up to their eyeballs in the nitty-gritty of building bbc.co.uk. It'll be less about the grand scheme of things, and more about the details of how things work - and often don't work - down on the front line. If the Internet Blog is the view from General Melchett, this is Blackadder. And, inevitably, Baldrick."

I like what they're doing and what they're saying (even if I don't understand all of it) and hope you will too.

A more recent arrival is the Research & Development blog which is the place

"...where researchers, scientists and engineers from ´óÏó´«Ã½ R&D share their work in developing the media technologies of the future."
In his opening post Matthew Postgate, the Controller of Research & Development at the ´óÏó´«Ã½, says that:
"This blog will form a part of the way we show you how we are working, developing and growing, and will of course offer a place where you can ask us about our work.

So get your questions ready for Matthew and the team. Also as a taste have a look at the latest post from earlier today by John Fletcher, a ´óÏó´«Ã½ Senior Engineer, that's all about Ingex
"...a PC-based audio/video recording system that can be used in multi-camera studios instead of video tape recorders."

Paul Murphy is the editor of the Internet blog.
