Wiki Update
Media Lab
Jul 2005
There have been some links to our Wiki page out there which made me realize it was kind of a mess. Of course wiki’s tend to be messy but still ours needed a clean up. I organized our front page a bit and added a couple of new development resources. We’ve talked about opening up some of our source files for a long time here, but in the rush to get projects done many files (at least my files) end up…

Zoomify Update
Media Lab
Jul 2005
I’ve gotten a couple of emails from the folks at Zoomify about their software product for use on Arts ConnectEd. Sounds like the enterprise solution would work just fine for everything we need including the ability to hit an outside script allowing us to save coordinates and zoom levels, they provide example ASPs that save Zoomify data into XML files. I’m sure we won’t use ASP but the example of…

One more blog up and running. Our Film Video department has a couple of posts in it and it’s off to a good start. This is also the first blog writing by our roving blog correspondant/editor Paul Schmelzer. You’ll see more of him on the various blogs on the Walker site.

News Center got an Update.
Media Lab
Jul 2005
Just in time for the weekend I finished publishing an update to the News Center. Now it includes the Walker Channel’s RSS feed but even better than that Nate set up an iCal feed for our calendar so you’ll never miss another Walker event (by accident). This is going to be the central access page for all things RSS and feed related so when we add more RSS feeds thats where they’ll go.

The announcement
The Green Room
Jul 2005
So last week we held our annual press conference to announce the 2005-06 season. As always, it was a mad dash to the finish line, trying to confirm everything in time, but we made it by the skin of our teeth (will it ever change? methinks not.)
This year in particular was difficult, what with the opening of the expansion in April and a media schedule that seems to demand a shorter timeline each year. In…

Introductions
The Green Room
Jul 2005
Okay, so I got it a little backwards, post first and hello second. I’m Diana, I work here at the Walker in Performing Arts, and I’ll be your weblogger for a bit, until the powers that be see fit to remove. I’m hoping to post fairly regularly, about the department, about Walker, about the field, and, in particular, about music, which is primary in what I do here, but also in my civillian life. The aim (in my…

Performing Arts is Blogging
Media Lab
Jul 2005
Diana from Performing Arts is starting to blog (I’m sure others in her department will join in soon). It will take us a little bit of work to tie the blog into the rest of the site but in the mean time you can visit directly and give some feedback.

I should also say that this is all rather new to me (other than as a reader of blogs), so forgive me if the tone seems stilted or the info irrelevant; hoping to find my legs with all this soon. To add to my previous post about the purpose of the blog, we hope to hear from readers/visitors to Walker about the performances they saw (both here and about town, around the world!?), what people thought, artists…
