Wk3-1 DB Quickies: Difficulties starting new programs/breaking the norm

There are many times I have felt like a change agent on campus.  I seem to constantly come up with ideas of how to do things differently.  These ideas are usually supported, but only if they do not cost any money.  The largest task is to come up with cost effective solutions to production problems.  One project that has been successful is live webcastingour college basketball games.  In the two years we have broadcasted the games the college has invested less than $100 dollars in the project, yet we have been able to webcast every game with students.  We have had to deal with low bandwidth issues, control and interface problems, and lack of effective design solutions.  Our highlight so far was having 1500 viewers during one of our games this year.
