Radio Comming Soon!

This weekend I'm going to be adding some streaming radio stations to the site. Initially it will support probably two or three connections, since I'm presently just on a cable modem, but I'm moving my server to some major bandwidth (around 150 megabit), so things should improve significantly after the move, which is scheduled before year end.

If you're wondering what kind of server this is, it's a poopie Mandrake Linux box, with only 512MB Ram, and some kind of AMD chip in it in the 2.4Ghz effective range. I paid about 400CDN for it a while back. Seems to work okay, considering it's a goofy clone-of-a-clone mobo. I have an NFS Mount to about 2 TB volume of media (all purchased by me thank you very much RIAA). Surprisingly, the NFS mount is running on Windows 2003 Server (Storage Edition) through Services for Unix, and seems to be okay. Network is all full-duplex Gigabit.

After the radio stations are up, my plans are to set up a few interactive camera relays (e.g. Back Yard, Kitchen), a Giger Counter feed (so you can see how irradiated my house is -- hmm wonder why?), and the obligatory weatherstation.

Long range plans include me publishing my latitude/longitude from my blackberry wherever I am and plotting it on a globe, possibly with sattelite recon from terraserver, or somewhere else. That should prove useful if you ever want to fire a missle at me.
