| − | Here's a potted '''history''' of the URY '''website''', courtesy of the Wayback Machine.
| + | ((ury)) has had many '''committees'''. |
| | | | |
| − | == c.1999-Oct 2003 == | + | == 2012/13 == |
| | | | |
| − | [[File:ws1.png]]
| + | === The Edwards committee === |
| | | | |
| − | The earliest version of the website available on the Web Archive was definitely a product of its time, with the bright orange branding of that era prominent throughout and a very 90s GIF-based sidebar on the left.
| + | {{Committee 2012}} |
| | | | |
| − | It even had a guestbook, with some rather ''interesting'' contents.
| + | Because of the large proportion of finalists in the original 2012/13 committee, a special by-election was held in Summer Term 2013 to replace those leaving the university forever; the result was an "interim" committee led by new Station Manager Al Riddell until the Autumn 2013 election round. |
| | | | |
| − | At one point in 2000, [[Gavin Atkinson]] updated the site.
| + | === The Riddell committee === |
| | | | |
| − | This design was created by [[Marcus Pendleton]], and doesn't really work too well in 1080p.
| + | {{Committee 2012b}} |
| | | | |
| − | === Webcasting === | + | == 2011/12 == |
| | | | |
| − | At the start of Web Archive captures of the URY website, URY were still broadcasting only on 999kHz and did not yet simulcast on the Internet; however, by 2003, URY had leapt forward into the Internet Age by hosting a worldwide live stream... using ''RealPlayer''. Oh well...
| + | This year had two station managers: Rob Stonehouse, and Jennifer Rothery. |
| | | | |
| − | == Oct 2003-Summer? 2006 == | + | === The Stonehouse committee === |
| | | | |
| − | [[File:ws2.png]]
| + | {{Committee 2011a}} |
| | | | |
| − | A radically new website design was launched in time for Autumn term 2003, featuring for the first time what seemed to be sensible web design (for it was a new millennium and the days of gaudy sidebars and orange on grey were far behind the URY computing team, in all their wisdom).
| + | === The Rothery committee === |
| | | | |
| − | The guestbook and RealPlayer streams were still there, though.
| + | Because of the large proportion of finalists in the original 2011/12 committee, a special by-election was held in Summer Term 2012 to replace those leaving the university forever; the result was an "interim" committee led by new Station Manager Jennifer Rothery until the Autumn 2012 election round. |
| | | | |
| − | This website ''does'' work quite well in 1080p, considering.
| + | {{Committee 2011b}} |
| | | | |
| − | == 2006-2010 == | + | == 2010/11 == |
| | | | |
| − | [[File:ws3.png]]
| + | Darren Webb was Station Manager this year. |
| | | | |
| − | A minor update of the previous website, with even more orange... and no guestbook in sight! RealPlayer by now had been joined by MP3 and Ogg Vorbis streams as URY's streaming technology marched on.
| + | == 2009/10 == |
| | | | |
| − | What the ''hell'' is that font on the advertising banner?
| + | Oliver Julian was Station Manager this year. |
| − | | |
| − | This design was jiggled around a bit over its four years of service, but remained mostly the same.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == 2010-2011 ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | ''There is currently no picture available of this website design in situ- the Wayback snapshot is horrifically broken. See the link below for the original design mockup.''
| |
| − | | |
| − | In what was probably the most short-lived (and expensive!) of website designs, URY got [http://www.freelancegraphicdesigner.co.uk/ury-web-design.html a professional graphics designer] in to completely redesign the website in conjunction with URY's comprehensive rebranding.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The result was a lovely set of graphics (lovely being subjective on whether or not you like Impact as a font), but the code for the website wasn't as lovely. According to legend, the site was programmed in under a week to meet harsh deadlines and was therefore effectively hacked together. Despite all this, it worked for a year and as of writing the code is still there in heavily modified form.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Sources indicate that a DaveX was responsible for the coding.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == 2011-2012 ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[File:ws2011.png]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | The current website was largely the result of a rehashing of the design from last year by the combined efforts of [[Darren Webb]] and [[Rob Stonehouse]] on design and [[Matt Windsor]] on programming (which mainly involved tidying up the previous round of code and implementing the design changes in HTML5 and CSS).
| |
| − | | |
| − | This website won a YUM award in 2011.
| |
| − | | |
| − | There's still no guestbook.
