Recorder changed back
I’ve just changed the Voxopop recording page back to the previous version, as many of you were having problems with the new one. So things should be back to “normal” now. For those who were having problems with the original version (mainly Mac OSX 10.6 users), you will find a link to an alternative version of the recording page that should work on your system.
I’ll be...

Updated recording component
I’ve recently updated the recording component on Voxopop to address compatibility issues with Mac computers. If you were having problems, please try again.
People are now using the new recorder just fine, but if you now begin having problems recording now, please send me a direct message by using the last link on our contact page. I’ll need to know:
Browser version you are using

The old make a change in one place, create a bug...
Sorry if you had problems accessing talkgroups over the past day or so. I made a change to how the invitation mechanism works in private and restricted talkgroups, which brought a bug into the system.
Note to self: do more testing before updating the site next time!

Interview about Voxopop
I was recently interviewed by Ryan Egan for the Tech Stream radio show on ABC Radio Australia. Ryan covers the latest in technology from around the world. I loved the montage of voices of Voxopop users that he produced for the show!
If you’re interested, have a listen to the podcast of the show, and check out Ryan’s blog…

This is all fixed now. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Recording back after downtime
Users weren’t able to save their audio for about an hour. The issue has now been fixed.
If you were one of those affected, I do apologise.
Bug fix: invitations to private talkgroups
The invitation mechanism for private talkgroups was faulty. I’ve traced the bug and squished it. All functioning smoothly now..
Sorry to those who had to re-send!
Bug fix: Recording
I just eradicated a nasty little bug that lived on the recording page. For some users, the audio recorder would have problems loading due to a javascript error. If that sounds like you, then please try again and see if it works!
If you do happen to have any problems with Voxopop, please let me know on the bug report forum. If I don’t know about them, I can’t fix them!

Due to all-round busyness with the launch of Voxopop, I still haven’t written a decent post on this blog. It’s coming. Just don’t...

Bugs! (not the insect kind)
I awoke this morning to a Voxopop log file containg various bugs and other mysteries. So I’ve spent the day tracking them down and eradicating them. Fun, fun…
I think I’ve got most of them sorted, but please let me know if you notice anything not working the way it should! You can report bugs on our bug forum.
I will get around to a much longer post eventually….
The deed is done!
Woohoo! I’ve finished the changeover from Chinswing to Voxopop. I’m sure there will be a few things here and there that I have missed or forgotten. Please let me know if you think of anything!
I’d love to hear some feedback, so please go to our feedback forum and fire away.
I’ll write a decent post in the next few days, with a lot more info on what’s been going...
Chinswing is becoming Voxopop
Chinswing is undergoing a transformation! New features have been added, and the look and feel of the site has been “freshened up”. It will be reborn as “Voxopop”.
I’ve taken down Chinswing and am now working on the big upgrade. Hopefully I’ll have it done in a few hours or so. I’ll then have to go through and make sure any old Chinswing links will...
