MMS plumbing at the BBC

When Matt Biddulph (R&Mi T&D Architecture Team Gruppenfuhrer) wrote about Moyles-proof code he was talking about processing incoming SMS.

That's how you're able to build the cool stuff: by having solid, scalable, adaptable plumbing.

BBC Radio Player survey

Some of my colleagues here in BBC Radio & Music Interactive are looking at our (Oh, I like saying that) Radio Player -- the BBC Radio internet audio-on-demand controller -- and are looking for feedback.
