Apart from their inability to proof-read, Auntie are great. For decades they have been at the forefront of technology and broadcasting. The DG has once again pushed forward with their vision, and they are wanting the communities they serve to help.
If you haven’t seen it already take a look at http://backstage.bbc.co.uk and http://open.bbc.co.uk/reboot/
I’ll try and get some more detailed thought when I’m not at work.
For those not in the know, BBC Radio 1, are bringing their Big Weekend Festival to Dundee. Should be a good event for the area. I’m certainly looking forward to working it. A few days ago I signed up to the mailing list so I could get the latest information direct from the horses’ mouth. Shame they can’t employ someone to proof read what they are sending to 1000’s of people. I frankly expected better from Auntie 
Hello from all of us at Radio 1. We've been very busy setting up Radio 1's Big Weekend. We've confirmed most of the artists and the line-up is looking very good. We cannot tell you who they are yet but expect some big stars from the UK and America as well as cool new bands. Everyone we talk to in Dundee is very excited about the weekend. As well as taking over Camperdown Park we've got plans a big dance night in the city itself. In the run up the weekend Colin and Edith are going to tour around Scotland too. Make sure you are listening to Radio 1 on Monday 24 April when we will announce the line up and give you more information about how to get tickets. Do you live in Dundee or have you been there? We want to hear from you. We want loads of info, recommendations, photos and video of Dundee on our website. If you have a blog and you’ve wrote about Dundee send us a link. If you'd taken photos and they are online send us the link them or upload them to Flickr and add them to our group (http://www.flickr.com/groups/radio1bigweekend/). What we’d really like is short videos introducing us to Dundee. If you can film your favourite place or thing about Dundee send it in. You can upload them to a website and send the URL or email us the video. We are also looking for really good photographers and music writers to come to Radio 1’s Big Weekend and cover the event in their own way. If you are interested and write a blog send us a link. If you have a photographer and have photos online send us a link too. Email all your links and details to radio1.bigweekend@bbc.co.uk. Please remember we are unable to answer individual questions about the event, line up and tickets but you’ll find out all you need to know on our FAQs page: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/bigweekend06/faqs.shtmlDon't forget to listen to Radio 1 and check the website on Monday 24 April when all will be revealed.In the meantime you can hear the special gig Red Hot Chili Peppers did for Radio 1: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/presents/rhcp/ Enjoy Radio 1
Well the site is finally starting to fall into place. A few things are still broken, and I’m trying to change the theme a little. Nothing major, just a few changes. The site is now hosted at Dreamhost things appear to be ok…. A little slow perhaps, but I’ll see how it pans out.
At work this morning I got the best bit of spam so far
My dog Toxi has to be happy again.
I only write this mail, because it is my last hope.
I am 16 years old and have a small puppy which I got 2 months ago.
His name is Toxi. Toxi was hit by a car 2 days ago and now he is just lying in his corner not getting up.
My father says, Toxi should be put to sleep, but the Doctor said there is a chance to operate.
But the operation is just to expensive for me.
What can I do, who can help me
Please write to me.
Don’t it just pull at your heartstrings
Things are slightly in a state of flux at the moment. Once things have settled down I’ll do a proper update.
