At the, um, top right pic I think you can see unicyclist.com on one of the monitors…
Wow… I’m going to order me a print of one of those bad boys.
Kidding GILD, dont worry!
The one with the gin looks neat…
Hey Dave, how come you’re not on TV.
cause he has a face for radio 
and a voice for print media
yoopers, where on earth did u find those?
that was the kewlest job in the history of the world ever
the guy in some of the pics at the bottom, richard, just thinks about 20 years ahead of where most of us imagine we can understand
it was in trying to come to grips with what would be required from an internet broadcast, and the need for ‘inflections’ taking place every 45 seconds (cause that’s how long an internet user will give ‘something’ to satisfy the reason the user went there), that the wonderfull phrase ‘dogmatic anarchy’ first appeared during a brainstorming session
everybody laughed the required laughs but that idea had way more legs than that
in order to do something every 45seconds that would allow the incidental listener to make sense of what he/she was listening to, myself and my producer (simon) made several lists including the features of the website we provided the radio service for, the various interactive elements attached to the broadcast (email, live chat, boma (forum site) and phone number) and throw forwards to upcoming interviews and features on the show
this being a talk-station, the headphones were set up to give me monitors in the right ear (where i could hear myself and the caller/studio guest) and a talk-back function on the left ear (where simon could talk to me on)
he would use this to give me countdowns to my next 'inflection
so i’d be doing an interview, i’d ask a question, the guest would answer (it was part of simon’s job to get them to answer in about 30 seconds, no more)
while they’re answering, simon would tell me which ‘inflection’ i’m doing next, ie ‘chatroom in 15…10…5
i would then blurt out a lil’ 5sec mention of the live chatroom and ask the next question, taking 10 seconds to do so, leaving my guest 30 seconds to answer and simon to go 'cam-pic of the day in 15…10…5 - or throw forwards to the next guest i’d be interviewing, or mention the fact that we’re going to get the game-ranger/controller into the studio to tell us about what the elephants on the Hluhluwe cam have been doing or or or)
so we would go thru three hours that seemed to rush past in 15…10…5…
this was the dogmatic part and we were just becoming aware of how impossible it was to carry such an uncompromising structure thru a live broadcast when the bottom dropped out of the banner advertising market on the internet and they had to cut back the radio service drastically
i survived as a presenter but there were no more producers and what we did became more of a continual monologue-commentary to the 18 live, wildlife cams the website covered
this was the anarchy part
even without simon counting down in my ear and making me feel like an F14 pilot about to do something worthy of slow-motion, i couldn’t take half a breath without wanting to do an ‘inflection’
presto, the fruits of dogmatic-anarchy
which is probably more than u ever wanted to know about my take on internet broadcasting and is unlikely to be waht yoopers had in mind when he started this thread, but i had fun reminiscing
if only with myself
I didn’t have much going on in the office yesterday so I was doing some boredom searching. Your name came to mind so I searched “dave walters johannesburg” and that site came up.
I think I was just as surprised. Neat pics.

Dave,
All I can say is: WOW. Even your posts sound like you think we’ll only give you 45 seconds!!
I’d love to hear more details after another gin.
