The four day week

I've just started working four-day weeks in my job at the BBC. Today is my third week in. I want to be able to start some side projects, reduce the amount of commuting I do and hopefully get more inspired, learn new things and read more - all of which should hopefully cross-fertilise with my day job as well.

My initial plan is to do some hacking and visualising of the Current Cost electricity monitor, though possibly not in time for HomeCamp. I also hope to keep this blog a bit more active, do more writing (of text and of code) and maybe even do some more baking.

If you do have anything that might interest me (that wouldn't conflict with my BBC work) then do let me know at tristanferne[at]yahoo[dot]co[dot]uk.

Hi, I have just foudn out about Find Listen Label. It is a year and a half old now. What happened to the project? Did it spread widely or die a political death or fall foul of technology or what?

I think the main problem was that people didn't understand (or misunderstood) the concept - both people in the BBC and the audience. Which made it very hard to push it any further. It seemed a bit like it was before it's time - maybe once we've got more social features on the BBC website it's time may come again.
