I've had several people offer to make my own website a bit more fancy with flash intros etc (for free too), but I prefer to get plenty of visitors that can access things quickly.Peter Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06283534498743254609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-81715501916421551472010-02-28T14:55:06.900+00:002010-02-28T14:55:06.900+00:00walk in Thanet Not Walk inn Thanet . sorry my typo...walk in Thanet Not Walk inn Thanet . sorry my typo's are getting worse I had changed about ten red lines but missed that one coss it didn't underline itDon Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17099505939055955603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-33099054629377945382010-02-28T14:51:52.785+00:002010-02-28T14:51:52.785+00:00Just went on to http://www.hamish-fulton.com/ whic...Just went on to http://www.hamish-fulton.com/ which is Hamish Fultons own website. I found it a very difficult site to get around so maybe if he does another walk inn Thanet that is disabled friendly I can ask him how his site works. Tdc's record of all things internet is not what I would class as good so I am not holding out much hope. Right I am off to watch the football and then Sunday dinner at our daughters. Both daughters cooking for me in one day........ that represents some sort of record.Don Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17099505939055955603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-41959454582948867812010-02-28T14:04:49.730+00:002010-02-28T14:04:49.730+00:0013.16 I think that a great problem that surrounds ...13.16 I think that a great problem that surrounds most of the way that government uses the internet is that when they first started doing so publishing anything to the internet required an expert IT team.<br /><br />Now anyone can do it without much difficulty, in fact you have just published to the internet by leaving your comment here and I am sure you would agree that it was as easy as viewing web pages.<br /><br />Now the problem within local government is that it is practically impossible to sack an officer even if his job has been replaced by more advanced technology. So frankly when it comes to government funded IT the IT officers employment relies on the system involved being difficult and complicated.<br /><br />Peter there are two problems here, one is that I believe the council wants to retain the ability to edit the tapes, I know this sounds like censorship, but I believe it is much more to do with a desire to stay within the rules governing what councils should be doing and publishing.<br /><br />The other is the cost, from looking at the available hosting, the cost of hosting the videos they make of the council meetings already would be about £35 per year, whereas live streaming the meetings would be much more expensive.Michael Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499435016469020417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-1705038260516865892010-02-28T13:46:07.634+00:002010-02-28T13:46:07.634+00:00A step in the right direction anon 13:16, but woul...A step in the right direction anon 13:16, but would it REALLY be asking too much with today's technology for a LIVE broadcast too?Peter Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06283534498743254609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-37069371318639801882010-02-28T13:16:23.797+00:002010-02-28T13:16:23.797+00:00I hope you are not including TDC with your " ...I hope you are not including TDC with your " the weak use of the internet by publicly funded organisations" comment!<br />With any luck we may be able to view the council meeting video, without any joins, in the next day or two.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
