Hi! I'm Cal McLean 🙋‍♂️

I'm only a part-time developer - day to day, I work in live TV around Europe. After dark, I manage the technical infrastructure of Halton Community Radio - a small, community radio station in Cheshire, UK.

Most of the GH projects I work on were originally designed to fix a problem that HCR had:

  • Record-of-Transmission loggers are expensive and bloated - so I made Chronicle
  • Too many radio stations don't have off-site backups, because many people are worried that it's expensive and difficult - so we created Backblaze Backup
  • Synchronizing Now Playing data across platforms isn't as straightforward as we'd like, so I'm working on Myriad: Now Playing (WIP)

It turns out that some of these projects have been helpful to other people, so I made them available in the hope that anybody might be able to put them to good use!

You're helping pay for the things that keep local community media on air, safely and reliably. These are things like CI and virtual machines for Chronicle, cloud storage space for Backblaze Backup, and development instances of Voluble.

As a way of saying thanks, I'll list you as a Supporter in Halton Community Radio's READMEs!
