It’s been a most interesting summer for me. Here at OTN I’ve been spending most of my time trying to figure out how high-definition television works. I’ve had some success. Some.
This is complicated stuff here. Codec’s, resolution, memory usage, encoding, file formats and on and on. I’ve blogged about this before so I won’t wear you down with that nonsense again. The good news, I think, is that I decided on a server and a methodology on how to go about producing in high-definition. We’re also going tapeless. Good for the environment and good for the budget, no more tape to buy. Now all we have to do is put the practice in place.
Most of the staff is set but there a few more positions to fill. OTN will be at the SU Job Fair next Friday September 4th looking for a graphic artist, a program manager, some programming people, a public relations assistant and an editor. So if you’re interested, stop by.
OTN has a new office too. I annexed the conference room next door to me and cut a hole in the wall and doubled our space. More room to grow.
Finally, two more things. If you have read this blog you know I was dealing with some health problems with my daughter at the end of last semester. Well, that problem turned out to be something serious. Fortunately, we had some good doctors and caught it early. My daughter Anita is back on her feet, good as new. We’re grateful and relieved. It was an ordeal I’d rather not do again.
Second, I’m really glad you’re all back. I love the quiet after graduation for about a week. This place isn’t the same without you and I miss that energy you bring to the campus. I’m really looking forward to this year and another attempt to help you bring great student produced programming to SU.
Welcome back!
