    When Rants Become a Thesis: My Failed Attempt to Vibe-Code a Mac App

    ByJim 21 August 202520 August 2025

    The Vibe-Coding High: When AI Actually Works I’m an optimist at heart, and when a new tool comes along that promises to make a difficult task easier, my brain lights up like a kid on Christmas morning. That’s exactly how it felt when I started working on my KPI Quest web app. The goal was…

    The Heart of the Hub: Carnaby Media Hub’s Non-Production Spaces & The Client/Staff Experience.

    ByJim 18 August 202520 June 2025

    While we’ve spent previous posts dazzling you with the cutting-edge tech, lightning-fast networks, and sustainable infrastructure that define the Carnaby Media Hub’s production prowess, it’s worth remembering that even the most advanced facility is ultimately just a very clever (and theoretical!) collection of bricks, mortar, and fiber optics. The true pulse of CMH, the magic…

    From Chaos to KALLAX: How I Redesigned My Home Office

    ByJim 14 August 202512 August 2025

    We’ve all been there, haven’t we? The moment you realise a piece of technology, once a trusty sidekick, is on its last legs. For me, that moment arrived not with my own gear, but with my wife’s faithful laptop—a machine that had seen more late-night Netflix binges and last-minute document edits than I’ve had hot…

    No More Spreadsheet Sweat: My Journey to a UK House Deposit with Deposit Vision (LISA, HTS & UC)

    ByJim 31 July 202531 July 2025

    Hello there! You might be wondering where I’ve been, or perhaps you just thought I’d finally succumbed to the allure of a permanent nap under a pile of tech manuals (a tempting thought, I won’t lie). But no, dear reader, I am alive and, mostly, well! First off, a massive, sincere, and slightly sheepish apology…

    Beyond the Booth: The Dedicated Production Suites

    ByJim 28 July 202519 June 2025

    In the exhilarating, often boisterous, world of media creation, the spotlight, quite rightly, tends to fall on the grand spectacles. We laud the colossal sound stages where fantastical realms are brought to life, and we marvel at the pristine acoustics of radio booths where voices find their global stage. Yet, for all the breathtaking performances…

    On Air and Online: Diving into the Carnaby Media Hub’s Radio Studios

    ByJim 21 July 202518 June 2025

    In an age utterly captivated by the visual spectacle – where screens dominate our lives and cinematic worlds unfold with breathtaking realism – it’s remarkably easy to overlook the enduring, foundational power of sound. Yet, long before moving pictures danced across a silver screen, the human voice, expertly captured and broadcast, held audiences spellbound. The…

    A Curmudgeon’s Reckoning: When a Retired Enforcer Just Wants a Quiet Cuppa (and the World Has Other Plans)

    ByJim 17 July 202517 July 2025

    Alright, my dear readers, settle in. Grab a cuppa – preferably one that doesn’t spontaneously taste of salt water or emit faint fire alarms – because this Thursday, we’re doing something a little… different. You know my Thursdays. They’re usually my ‘random’ posts, a delightful mishmash of thoughts, observations, and the occasional existential crisis disguised…
