  • Hard News: A Real Alternative,

    That Kim Hill feedback page is worth reading all the way.

    It includes some very well-informed contributors including those who were central to the Cartwright Inquiry, and in implementing the changes since. Also some unimpressed practitioners with different viewpoints as you'd expect.

  • Hard News: A Real Alternative,

    Seems fair enough really, come back when you've read the book.

    Then release the bloody book at the same time you stoke the discussion, not afterwards.

    Perhaps the printers have OSH concerns that rampant tumescence could arouse their workforce and clog the machinery? Nah, they probably just fear the unflattering comparisons..

    Send your IT folk that unicorn rainbow pic - you'll get style points even if it doesn't pacify them.

    I tend to avoid UpFront from behind the corporate firewall.

    I wonder what WebMarshall liked better about page 1..

    didn't want to talk too much about Dom psychology, it not being mine.

    Well you confused this n00b by writing "Dom(me)". Still, I could have misread it worse..

    Where's the ogg link?

    Tim, good point. I support Open Source alternatives in principle.

    Because of the way PAS handles links when composing posts, it takes some effort even to offer more than one link option for RNZ's stories. I think you'll find I am one of the few who does.

    It seems sensible to include streaming as an option rather than two download alternatives. I understand MP3 is a more widely supported format which is why I chose that over Ogg. I defer to Richard Hulse's judgement about quality matters.

    Unless I am missing something, the best answer seems for Richard to change the RNZ site's behaviour so there is a single link I can put here that allows visitors to subsequently choose which of the three current options they prefer - streaming, MP3 or Ogg. At present the main RNZ link for each article is to the streaming option, and I don't see any separate anchor to link to.

    If Mr Hulse tells us there is a better way already, then I'd be delighted to use it. I am grateful for the excellent work he has put into making his website one of the best examples in the world for accessibility (and of extracting oil from a rag).

    Thank you, sir. Votes of confidence worth more than gold any day.
