To be honest I suspect it's a real audio issue. The archived episodes were playing fine, until they weren't - I imagine that they're stored in an obsolete version of the format or something, and an update pushed them out of lifetime.
It's not a big deal, because you can download the episodes from another section of the site - but that doesn't let you listen to them in sequence, which I was rather enjoying. I'm caught up to about 2006, and I'm really enjoying the way Melvyn Bragg structures a season.

I think these are what we call "first world problems".

Ah OK I misunderstood what you were getting at, there. Well.. I don't have that much to do with the iPlayer internals, I'm in a different department. You could raise it as a complaint - those usually get looked at by the right people.

I'm hanging with my kids today. Need to go grocery shopping at some point - we're completely out of milk, bread, eggs, cereal, cookie-baking supplies, and produce AND I'm down to one k-cup so I need a temporary supply until my next Green Mountain order arrives. Maybe I'll finally get around to hanging pictures today. The box of frames has only been sitting in the corner for three months...

I'm in a bath robe, drinking Green Mountain Breakfast Blend while approving snippets and tutorials, and working on computational complexity grad homework. Wheee!

Let 'em sit a bit longer. They're not ripe yet.

I did file an issue, and I got a nice email back saying "well, yeah, there's a problem. we might not get around to fixing it, but thanks for reporting it".

I guess if I really cared, I'd write some code to mirror the IOT site and drop in the MP3 objects from the "downloads" section instead of the broken RA objects from the IPlayer section. But that starts to sound like work.

(well, it is a Saturday, and I only have a ton of shit to do... hmmm)

Woke up to find 'Real Genius' just started. Pretty much a badass way to start Saturday. It can only be a good omen.

Found a recipe for "Knock You Naked Cookies". Gonna try them today, but with salted caramel instead of straight caramel in the center. Wish me luck!

[GunnerInc]

Hope they turn out better than your last batch of "new" muffin recipe :-)

[BenignDesign]

I was thinking if they turned out well, I'd mail you some... but after THAT comment, I may have to rethink how nice I want to be.

[edit]
But I agree, those cupcakes were a sad lot.

I was on vacation for about a week. I have online home school which is like real school. I tried to work ahead but when I came back I had 20 overdue assignments. It's been past a week and I'm down to 10 overdue So guess what I have to do on a Saturday? Schoolwork!

Taxes are done. Whoowooo.

Made my modified cookies inspired by the picture I posted yesterday. Not bad. I overcooked my caramel a smidge, so the center - while quite tasty - isn't gooey. Final verdict: they wouldn't knock me naked, but they're good.

[CharlieMay]

Mine's in the fridge waiting for the caramel to set.

[BenignDesign]

... you followed the instructions, didn't you? Yeah... I probably should have done that, too.
