What a week. On Sunday, just before lunch time, my wife gave birth to our second child. Victoria Lillian Long – She’s beautiful, and just the most wonderful thing for us all.
But, she came a day or so early, in fact, as far as we were concerned, she came about four days early – so, we weren’t quite ready. The house was a bit of a mess, and generally we could have done with an extra day or so!
In the 3 full days since, I’ve learned fast that a good neighbour beats any technology – any day… Read on for why…

FOXTEL have a fantastic iPhone application which allows you to search the program guide, browse channels, set reminders and – if you are a foxtel user – even set programs to record remotely even when you are no-where near your Foxtel box!
It’s such a handy thing if you have Foxtel IQ and suddenly remember that show you wanted to watch but forgot to record! With the iPhone app you can ‘hit record’ no matter where you are.
At the same time, Foxtel have a fantastic website version of their Guide, which also – if logged in – allowed you to record programs from any internet connected PC.
Today, FOXTEL announced an extension of that app/site… read on for more information

The Seven Network today announced they will launch a ‘third’ channel on Digital TV in late September – Named ’7mate’
According to the press release, republished at Mumbrella, the channel will commence with a broadcast of the AFL Grand Final in HD.
There’s a stack of content on offer – like “New episodes of FAMILY GUY, AMERICAN DAD, PARKS AND RECREATION and LAST COMIC STANDING will lead the primetime comedy schedule. 3O ROCK, HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER, THAT 70’S SHOW, SCRUBS and CRANK YANKERS round out the laughs.” – however, what I find interesting is the decision once again to remove HD from the ‘main’ channel – just like the ABC has done
More programming details are below. … Continue Reading
Leaving aside the standard technology which we often take for granted (TV Cameras, Broadcast Satellite, Radio ISDN technology), this could be a great year for watching the Election – as boring as it might be given the nothingness of the campaign, we are in for a real treat when it comes to the coverage.
At the recent General Elections in the UK, the BBC among others went absolutely tech mad – it was fantastic. I can recall the use of Holograms by CNN or the BBC (I can’t remember) during the US Elections, but for the BBC in the UK election the key tech was the touch screen interface to a big screen TV, and also a ‘white room’ which was totally interactive.
