News 17 Mar – Music, rugby and welding

March 17th 2010 at 7:56am, By Dave Guerin

A quiet news day today!

  1. Mixing music The University of Otago has installed a new mixing desk and other equipment for its recording facility, costing around $1m. They plan to use a KAREN connection to enable real-time recording with others around NZ and the world. 
  2. ITPs to Rugby SIT Council Chairperson Graham Cooney is seeking a Board position with the NZ Rugby Union.
  3. New Bay building Bay of Plenty Polytechnic has opened a new welding and engineering facility. I hope it gets used well, as many polytechnics seem to have more lathes than students. The new facility includes space for the Titanium Industry Development Assn, which could be a big deal one day if that industry gets off the ground.
