´óÏó´«Ã½

Sean and Chris B get our EEE PC, which is running , hooked up to the Digital Programme Guide using Sean's ruby controller application; this means Vicky and Theo can now schedule in some user testing of our recent second screen work. George, Vicky, Paul and I head over to Bush House to discuss a possible project collaboration with some senior people from the World Service. The idea has been bubbling around for a while, but it finally feels like it's getting some traction. Step one is to get hold of a dump of their metadata DB so that we can dig around and examine what's in there; we'll then write up some options and take it from there.

Chris B has spent a bit of time playing around with interfacing Arduino and flash, and has started learning about in-home content distribution and . Mark and Tony have pulled together a summary of findings and next steps for an augmented reality project we might be doing with our colleagues in the Production team.

In addition to following up on a host of P2P-Next tickets, Sam has built a little web app to 'sanity check' the DVB-IP Bridge service used for SynchTV. Tony has been integrating the brain controller headset into a universal controller API that R&D has developed as well as scoping out some single button access research.

Friday. The office is a bit on the quiet side this morning. Most people are over in TVC at a ´óÏó´«Ã½ location event and Theo is on a training course improving his presentation skills. I'm writing up my findings on a piece of work I'm doing for Matthew P as well as some bits of finance. Sean sheepishly admits that the data analysis he's been doing for Tris over the last 3 days has been on the wrong data set - enough said really.
