Yesterday we went to Derby. I am supposed to write this game up but am suffering from a lack of will. May do it tomorrow, along with my bit about how shit the on line service has become. I have been involved in an email exchange with the people who run the Cardiff City website - some people called Premium TV, because they have now 'upgraded' the site so that they have security protected the videos they show. This has also affected the online commentary, and it now means that no one can listen to the commentary unless they have an up to date PC - as opposed to a Mac (like I use). Of course they are losing pennies on people watching highlights on YouTube (except there aren't any on there), and of course they will lose £££ because of people like me cancelling their subscription and asking for their money back. Ironically Cardiff won an award recently for their website. I think they should give it back.It makes absolutely no sense, except for Microsoft who make a fortune out opf this, and the people who sold them the new security system. Cardiff lose people listening to them, piss off their own supporters and gain precisely nothing.
The fact that they actually don't have to link the commentary to the video service (who cares about the videos anyway?) hasn't occurred to them.
Anyway, apart from the awfulness of yesterday's match, we had a nice trip out, and it was nice to meet Mike Young, of Superted and other cartoons fame. I'll paste in a superted picture above here - except he's probably copyrighted them all and will sue me!
Anyway see more here (Mike's website) and here(kabillion.com). Cartoooooooooooooooooons.
