| − | The following is a list of user-facing changes to URY's Computing systems over the 2013 Chirstmas break. For Computing technical details, please refer to Ceedox.
| + | [[Category:In-jokes]] |
| − | | + | [[Category:Computing]] |
| − | == Shows & Presenting ==
| + | '''(In all their...)''' is a [[Computing]] Team [[in-joke]], originating from the early-2000s "URY International News Headquarters (European Branch) Provision of Information Resources cupboard" cooling documentation. |
| − | * '''Mixcloud''': All shows broadcast from the start of this term will be uploaded to MixCloud unless you opt-out. Shows cannot be uploaded to Mixcloud if you did not complete an accurate tracklist or played less than 8 tracks.
| |
| − | * '''Obit''': We've change the way the obit procedure works. Please re-read the EMERGENCY OBIT PROCEDURE document in the studio during your next show to familiarise yourself with the changes.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Studio Information Service ==
| |
| − | * We've refreshed SIS to give it a look and feel that is consistent with our website, Show Planner and MyURY.
| |
| − | * The Webcam selector in SIS is now fixed - use it to choose what webcam is displayed on RadioPlayer to your listeners.
| |
| − | * The news tab now gives you direct access to IRN - the source of our national news stories.
| |
| − | * The schedule tab is now fixed.
| |
| − | * The next time you log into SIS, you'll see a Getting Started message that will walk you through the changes.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Campus Jukebox ==
| |
| − | * Improvements to the magic playlists functionality now we have a term's worth of feedback. A lot less cleaning windows, a lot more good music!
| |
| − | * Requests are no longer exempt from the 6 hour replay rule
| |
| − | * User requests are now interleaved with standard playout content
| |
| − | * Track requesting now searches on artist as well as track title
| |
| − | * The Campus Playout Service has finally been finished - listen out for us in The Glasshouse and other campus bars from now on!
| |
| | | | |
| − | == Timelord ==
| + | The document[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1azS7jXB6AHYz8niVD6kfz2h1Mhp_1bnufSsLs3obXyU/edit] is a comprehensive user manual for the cooling apparatus installed into the then-server-cupboard. Whilst these days we refer to the location as [[The Hub]], since our servers are now in [[Stores]], the cooling system is still somewhat in place (with the exception of Estates completely replacing it in Summer 2013). The documentation is, to this day, completely valid, making it the longest-standing single piece of documentation that is still accurate to this day. |
| − | * Improvements to the way Timelord handles there not being another show scheduled
| |
| − | * Improvements to the way Timelord displays DEAD AIR alerts
| |
| − | * The OBIT alert is now activated in the event of the obit system being triggered
| |
| | | | |
| − | == Under-the-hood Notes ==
| + | The full guide include a full rationale of the system, during which whenever the Computing Team (in all their wisdom) are mentioned, the phrase "in all their wisdom" is added in parentheses. Likewise with the (then Technical) Engineering Team (in all their glory), News Team (in all their usefulness) and Speech Team (in all their... erm... something... not sure what... ask Leo). Oh, and apprehension (whoever she was). |
| − | * We've been making further changes to the way mailing lists are generated. Let us know if anything is seeming funky!
| |
| − | * We've now got far better formal documentation on many of our day-to-day processes. Some of us are going away forever soon, and figure we should leave the freshers with something.
| |
| − | * We've changed how our login system works behind the scenes. As well as being more secure, if you're a current University member, you can log in with your IT Services credentials.
| |
| − | * The computing secret 2013 project is progressing well... you might come across bits of it later this term.
