Every now and then I want to listen to BBC Radio using my own player (winamp, VLC,…) or on my iPhone (shoutcast, Fstream).  This posting is for having the single point to look at in order to find the URLs for the streams.

So here they are - just a click away:

hope this will help you as it helps me.

first week @ scoyo

now - that was my first week at scoyo.de!

New job, new experiences, new ideas.

Well, this week was just 5 days long but felt like three weeks - quite a lot of new input, a mountain of tasks and so many new names and terms to learn. Overall my summary is: Great! Such an inspiring athmosphere, a permanent buzz in all corridors and open ears for new ideas! I was directly involved into several discussions and tasks so it was the first week diving into it.

My smart and small team is pretty interdisciplinary including design, QA, usability, test and product management specialists so there is a lot of areas to look into - forces you to keep your mind open! …and I met pickiHH - but that is another story…

So I look forward for more to come - the scoyo learning plattform is very cool and all kids should use it for learning! I am serious!

more to follow soon…
