I’ve been working at Hills AM: the local community access radio station for a while. I do some vanity broadcasting there with a show at 9am on a Tuesday morning playing some obscure pop music (and sometimes not so obscure).

They have asked me to manage acquiring an FM licence to go with their AM one after a recent government announcement that they were releasing some frequencies for community use. I kicked the project off yesterday with a bit of a brainstorm and a few conference calls to other community access station managers seeing if there were economies of scale to be achieved. There are at least two other NZ community access stations wanting to do the same thing.

We got most of the main areas of work captured;

• Funding
• Integration with current systems
• Kit acquisition
• Marketing
• Legal work

I think with the current station staff we can build a WBS and farm out jobs quite nicely.

This looks like a good job for 2007.

Tidier. Much tidier. Aligned a lot of things with nasty tricks, but the html is still pretty basic, as is the css, which is the way I like it.

We didn’t get the right images for David’s new book, so I couldn’t add a new section for them.

After yet another lovely lunch with the clients. (Ahh. Lunch.) we have a list of things to do before we can go ‘live’. All good feedback, I just wish I had another 5 active hours in the day so I could do it all.

My friend Megan developed a flash site for Emerson’s Brewery. She’s gone off to a nice job in Wellington, and when a few hours work updating the site was needed, they called me in. No big changes, just adding in an external link to their blog and sorting out a backup. Paid handsomely (in beer) and it was nice to work on such a professionally done website.

A fews days work hacking WordPress, and the delgirl website goes live. Lynn (one of the Delgirls) had a pretty firm idea of what she wanted for colours and theme, so I adopted that with a very clean wordpress layout.
