I’ll chime in to give my thanks as well! While pre-recording shows isn’t as fun as doing a live show, it beats the hell out of no show at all and I know the listeners appreciate it. Thanks, Nick!!

I just wanted to say Nick, what an outstanding job you have done implementing the WMFO remote broadcasting!

It's clear that without your incredible & diligent programming skills (plus some support from other community volunteers, most notably Bob Donovan and Joann Keesey), if the station was even still broadcasting during this COVID-19 pandemic, Rick Deckard would only be playing library automation, and with community members not allowed into Tufts facilities including Curtis Hall at least through January of next year, the audiences for our long running shows would essentially be lost...

Sure the error reporting is a little terse, but as a computer programmer myself, I thought it was a brilliant practical idea on your part to eschew a user interface. A few weeks ago I uploaded my show to the shared drive, and when I checked back later I saw the file had been rejected and renamed with an "invalid date format" in its name -- It took me a few moments to realize I had put one too many zeroes in the filename, and soon, with a grinning smile on my face, everything was all set 8-o

Thanks so much Nick, for everything you've done over the years, but most particularly for creating in this time of crisis an amazing new WMFO remote upload and broadcast capability!

Most Sincerely,

Edward Beuchert

You’re welcome guys! Happy to help!

Hi All,

Nick has been our super hero definitely, no doubt about it. He continues to walk us through every step and hurdle related to remote broadcasting.

Best,
