Update: Technical Glitches and Episode Backlog

By Neil

Hey all,

So last semester is over, and a new semester is about to begin. You may have noticed a few episodes up, but they are taking time to get up (and often don’t work if you go to listen to them).

Here’s what’s going on. The back-end Content Management System I use was taken over by another organization. Since that hand-over, technical problems have begun occurring. The CMS team sent out an email apologizing to the entire user base regarding these problems, but they have not yet all been resolved.

These technical problems slowed me down quite a bit over winter break, when I hoped to clear out the episode backlog. I’ve also been slowed down because I’m recording Copyright Law first. (It’s not that I don’t understand the material, the opposite in fact. I’m being much more careful and re-recording episodes if I’m not completely satisfied with them.) I’ve also been busy over Winter Break with coaching our school’s national trademark Moot Court team.

I anticipate this semester to be a bit easier than last semester. First, I’m taking a few less credit hours. Second, five of those hours are internships (ie no reading, recording, or exams). Third, I don’t have the writing credit hours that I did last semester. Finally, I don’t have a Saturday class, as that drains the life out of you.

So that’s where we’re at. I’m going to keep troubleshooting these back-end problems, and try to get Copyright Law recorded in the near future. As always, feel free to contact me with questions.
