| Was awake for over 24 hours. Rebuilt OB2, making it utilise the VideoHub. Had issues with a HDMI patch panel. Stopped the villainous [[Andrew Waddle]] once again from fiddling with OB2's VideoHub patching. Found out that graphics had to be played on the DSK. Many thanks to [[Sophie Bolwell-Davies]], and her tech help/expertise. | | Was awake for over 24 hours. Rebuilt OB2, making it utilise the VideoHub. Had issues with a HDMI patch panel.

| Was awake all night trying to get the [https://github.com/ffplayout playout system] to work. Eventually got it working during testing, didn't realise Facebook had no audio, YouTube stream was being processed by ffmpeg instead of passing-through, playout server's ffmpeg config was incorrect and caused the playout server to be restarted many times. Resolved before the end though. Then exported a final version reaching about 39GB in size for VOD to replace the live-recorded version with it's many technical difficulties. | |||

* Created the YSTV Computing Policy. | * Created the YSTV Computing Policy. | ||
* Created the password manager service. | * Created the password manager service. | ||
* Chaired 4 computing meetings. Which where somewhat productive, and helped shape the [[Website 2020]] project. | |||
* Started work on the [[Website 2020]] project primarily doing the [https://api.ystv.co.uk backend] but also made two-ish frontend services: | |||
** [https://github.com/ystv/web-api web-api] - Supposed to be a web API (as the name implies) that powers the majority of the project's functionality. | |||
** [https://github.com/ystv/web-auth web-auth] - Provides a very bodgey [https://auth.ystv.co.uk "SSO"] service for the project. | |||
** [https://github.com/ystv/Website2ElectricBoogaloo DB migration] - Updated things, making it allegedly "better" and made it work with the new project. | |||
** [https://github.com/ystv/video-encode video-transcode] - To replace EncodeSrv with an edgy name and hopefully better approach. | |||
** [https://github.com/ystv/creator-studio creator-studio] - To replace the existing watch admin functionality. | |||
* Setup our [https://cdn.ystv.co.uk "cdn"] (really just 4 instances of minio running to provide an s3 like interface, but it sounds cooler to say its a cdn). | |||
* Replaced web's hard drive. Partially done to stop the constant daily email about a degraded array | |||
* Fixed acmetool when let's encrypt went away from using ACMEv1. Partially done to stop the constant daily email about certificates due to expire. | |||
* Caused a drive crash | |||
* Replaced web's motherboard that was agreed upon being faulty due to it's SATA connections being dubious. The replacement motherboard was also dodgy with a non-working network port which isn't ideal for our main server. Installed a pci-e networking card which couldn't work because the drivers weren't installed. Used a very reliable usb adapter to install the software necessary for the pci-e card to work. Knocked out the webcams after completing the upgrade due to a lack of vlan knowledge. | |||
* Buggered up web's record in lanDB after attempting to change the MAC address for the interface listed, requiring a ticket and an escalation and we lost the domain ystv-stream.sns.york.ac.uk (No idea what it was for) in the process :( | |||
* Specced out the ystv computing upgrades with our £10k grant. | |||
* Complained a lot about the other aspects of the grant spending. | |||
* Helped out with the branding upgrade. | |||
* Organised the 2020 project's public site branding since the two appointed scallywags aren't very good at communicating with each other ;). | |||
* Got burnt out and procrastinated lots of times. | |||
* Reinstalled the OS on both edit0/1 after Adobe not playing well with the computers not being able to connect to the domain controller. | |||
* Rearranged the station's control room to be more "covid secure" and tidied all the mess (pushed into a corner). | |||
* Installed a new CCTV server. | |||
* Got adam-rms for ystv after asking his housemate nicely. | |||
* Misc changes to the current site to keep it maintained somewhat. | |||
===Year 2=== | |||

* Increased toksivg's storage capacity to 200GB. | |||
* Hosted multiple computing meetings. | |||
* Started the internal video tutorial series. | |||
