Icelünd, Iceland

So, I've managed to somehow finish the first year of university and plunge into the mire that is the University of York's incredibly over-generous summer holiday (start of July to second week of October!)

I haven't yet thought about getting a job to tide me over.  This is partly because I still have quite a bit of student finance left to live on, and partly because I have a lot of voluntary stuff to do for University Radio York over the year.  I'm almost glad I didn't get into GSoC, thus.

Stuff I'm working on:

• SLUT, the Streaming Library of URY Tracks, which will (along with the URY API) be a replacement for the Broadcasting and Presenting Suite server system.  It is going to be a minimalist but extensible Java controller for external playback systems (initially, MPD) which arranges them into channels which can then be controlled by JSON-RPC.
• The URY website.
• The URY API, (what will become) a PHP-based REST-style API for securely accessing URY's database assets.  This will in turn become part of the new Broadcasting and Presenting Suite.
