NO SHOWS UNTIL ALICE IS FIXED
Hi all, There's no easy way to say this, but Alice (our beloved broadcast studio sound desk) is in a very bad way. Walking down the steps into the basement earlier I thought some kind of crazy gunfire was going on in stoic, either being filmed or actually happening, turned out it was Alice throwing one HELLuva tantrum through the studio monitors. Part of the power supply circuit has exploded, and until it's fixed there's no way for any shows to be broadcast live. Rich and I are hopefully going to get into labs tomorrow to try and fix this, so we may even be OK by the start of the weekend, but we could potentially be off air for a lot longer if more work needs doing as Rich/I don't have a lot of time with exams atm. I have had to cancel today's and tomorrow's shows. A couple more things... DON'T GO INTO THE INTERVIEW STUDIO! Bits of Alice are lying everywhere where I have started to dismantle things, it is VERY important that you don't go in as there are some beasty capacitors in the power supply that store up a lethal amount of charge, if you touch the wrong thing it will hurt!! HAS ANYONE LOST A WATCH? I found a brown Next watch on the floor in the interview studio, it is now in the broadcast studio by the Rivendell monitors. SUSTAIN IS STILL WORKING as it does not go through Alice when we're off air, so if anyone wants to record a show at home or wherever and fileexchange a wave file to me to play out when your show is scheduled for, that would work, let me know. I'll keep you posted. If you're a EEE student and fancy helping us out in labs tomorrow, get in touch! Chris Technical Manager IC Radio
