In support of Greg Dyke and the BBC...







In support of Greg Dyke and the BBC...

In support of Greg Dyke and the BBC... 02/10/2004 02:47 AM

In the Daily Telegraph today is an advert/petition paid for and signed by many thousands of BBC staff asserting the fierce independence of the BBC and talking about Greg Dyke's leadership as Director General (see Guardian article). I don't have a lot to say about it except to say that unfortunately my name and those of many other people I know couldn't fit onto the page, but that shouldn't in any way be read as a lack of support. It was signed and supported financially by many more people than could fit onto that page - myself included - and its impressive scale should be viewed as just a slice of the even larger genuine ground-swell of sentiment throughout the organisation.

Interview with AirWave's Greg Murphy


Interview with AirWave's Greg Murphy 07/12/2004 03:54 PM
A talk with AirWave's COO: In a bit of coincidental timing, AirWave's $7 million funding announcement today dovetails with a recent interview I had with Greg Murphy, the founder of AirWave's two incarnations and currently the chief operations officer. Those with reasonably long memories will recall that AirWave started as a hotspot company and was setting up restaurants in the San Francisco Bay Area in 2001. Faced with the dotcom downturn, the company sold its Wi-Fi locations to a startup operator -- in turn acquired by Ikano and operated now as Hotspotzz -- but turned its expertise in managing remote access points into its main business. AirWave is on the verge of releasing its third version of the AirWave Management Platform, which allows management through a central software server of dozens to thousands of heterogeneous access points (APs) from vendors like Cisco, 3Com, Avaya, Proxim, and others. AirWave's basic philosophy is that companies can be free to choose whatever access points they need, but also that most companies already have APs from multiple vendors that they aren't interested in replacing. With a central console, the network can be monitored for new APs, which can be automatically configured; traffic statistics can be collected in one location for an entire worldwide network; reconfiguring 10 or 1,000 routers involves the same amount of work; and rogue access points can be detected when they're plugged into a network. Similar hardware and software is avaiable from Cisco, Proxim, and others to manage just their own equipment with some support for outside integration with other APs. I spoke to Murphy last month just after AirWave had announced that their system was being used in 10 major universities around the U.S. Murphy noted his alma mater, Amherst, had put in Ethernet everywhere as part of an early wave of making Internet access available to all students. The current wave is, of course, Wi-Fi. "It's so much more affordable than punching a hole in every dorm," Murphy said. Every time a college opens a wall, they might find construction problems, code issues, or even asbestos. "If I don't open the wall, I don't have to know what's in there," Murphy said. The AirWave system works well in colleges because they're among the most likely candidates to have patchworks of equipment from many companies, including commodity consumer gear, and then overlay a more comprehensive management approach on top of...

Nomar Garciaparra and the Cubs rallied to take the lead just an inning after Maddux came out Sunday, so he wound up with a no-decision in Chicago's 6-3 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies.

Composer Greg Hale Jones passes away


Composer Greg Hale Jones passes away 08/10/2004 08:59 AM
I've just learned that Los Angeles-based composer Greg Hale Jones has passed away. This is very sad news -- he was young, he was talented, and he was a kind soul.

I first met Greg in the course of a feature I was writing for Grammy Magazine (Link to gif scan), and had the good fortune of developing an aquaintance with his work and his warm, kind personality over time. He was a good man, which is something of a rarity here in Hollywood.

His body of work included a number of film soundtracks, and a series of wonderful pieces that remixed/rethought/reinterpreted old historic folk song recordings from the Library of Congress. Probably the most widely-exposed of these was a tune called "Boll Weevil."

One of the things that was so amazing about the work Greg did was the way he used these old recordings -- he wasn't just sampling them and slapping them on top of a techno beat, Moby-style. He was really turning them inside out, composing through them and around them and retooling both the original and the new elements in an incredibly sensitive way. It was great work, and a fine reminder of the fact that valuable new art often owes its creative DNA to prior work.

When I interviewed him, he told me about how the Library of Congress was relatively generous with granting permission to use those 60-year-old Alan Lomax field recordings of black southern folk singers -- but this permission came with an odd condition. Since the song would be used in a feature film, some portion of the movie's proceeds must go back to the heirs of the original singer. Greg agreed. This resulted in a surreal scenario: after a long, challenging search to locate the descendants, a suited-up Paramount Pictures executive drives a winding road out to an overgrown southern plantation in disrepair, hands a check to an elderly woman, asks "So, what are you going to do with the money?" She replies, "I'm gonna finally go out and buy me one of them telephones, that's what I'm gonna do."

Some audio clip are here. His partner Laurie says she plans to keep Greg's studio in operation, and has no intent of allowing his creative legacy to fade. He was a gentle, insightful soul. He was also an unbelievably gifted artist. I'm deeply saddened to learn of his departure.
