This is just going to be a quick post, folks.
I’ve just had a very quick look at the revamping job the BBC has done on their much vaunted iPlayer.
Which seems to have a problem, or two …
Possibly …
It does seem to not be able to properly sync the sound and video track — based on the few minutes usage I’ve had of it — nor does it offer the option of the in-broswer pop-up window that earlier versions did.
Which is bloody handy, when you’re re-watching a show you’re posting about.
On a potential upside, though, Aunty Beeb has added the ability to sync an all new and shiny BBC iPlayer accounts: in this case I’ve added my Facebook and Twitter accounts.
It also seemed to have flagged up Terminator: The 1984 James Cameron movie.
Which I’m assuming means they’ve negotiated rights to some movies for their catch-up service.
This could be good.
Once they’ve ironed out the bugs …

I love it when people comment. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively adult. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
