When Nick abandoned his technical officership in favour of joining the computing team, Simon took up the mantle of [[Network Engineer]] for the next two years. As the campus video network was rapidly falling apart at this time, leaving very little network left to engineer, he proposed the creation of the [[drains]], an IP-based streaming solution that put YSTV's web livestream on the TVs instead. Plus, he got to stay on the key list, which given that YSTV was his second home at this point, was handy. | When Nick abandoned his technical officership in favour of joining the computing team, Simon took up the mantle of [[Network Engineer]] for the next two years.

He also wrote [[FaffoCue]], the stopgap software to move YSTV's autocue solution away from the Acorn Archimedes-based [[NaffoCue]] and to something that could run on a Windows laptop. | He also wrote [[FaffoCue]], the stopgap software to move YSTV's autocue solution away from the Acorn Archimedes-based [[NaffoCue]] and to something that could run on a Windows laptop. He was relieved to find out they're not still using it. | ||
Not content with the technical side of YSTV, Simon shifted more into production roles toward the end of his tenure. He co-produced the awesome new titles for [[Your Answer's Rubbish]], which premiered in series 2. This began a great production partnership with [[Mark Friend]] that resulted in award-winning comedy thriller [[Man Man]]. He was also an early advocate for producing more pre-recorded shows, and relying less on live output. | Not content with the technical side of YSTV, Simon shifted more into production roles toward the end of his tenure.
