In a serendipitous combination of my love of gadgets and my love of Radio 4 (The Archers excepted, which I’ve never warmed to), Cener Development have come out with a Windows Vista Sidebar Gadget which plays BBC radio stations (in fact, the gadget can be customized to play any radio stream, at least those using Real Media, with a bit of tweaking of the XML, but I haven’t tried that). So now I can listen to John Humphrys grilling Ken Livingstone whilst I sit on the Wifi bus to Redmond – well, I can’t, unfortunately, since John’s on at 6-9am GMT, which is 10pm-1am here. Ah well – at least there’s Thinking Allowed.
