[Sudo-radio] SRIG meeting tonight

Last time, Marina got a crash course in liquidsoap radio switching, and Rusty and I accidentally created Mix Tape Radio, which is still technically running -- tune in when someone is playing a mix tape. Or listen to the Sound of Silence otherwise: http://nthmost.net:8000/rpi THIS time, More of the Same! Why not? It's fun to turn unlikely audio sources into streaming radios. The more the merrier, I say. That's why this time, I'm bringing (and leaving behind) a laptop intended to be yet another stream source as well as an automated podcast-cutter. A liquidsoap sandbox machine anybody (who asks nicely) can have an account on. And I had a fun idea. We could put a streaming radio "tuner" in one or both of the rooms, a piece of hardware whose sole job it is to play streaming radio sources through a stereo. Maybe with a nice blue LCD display like the one on this page: http://wulfden.org/TheShoppe/freeduino/starting.shtml And then we could set up an open-access icecast2 box (internally) that lets anybody become a streaming source, and then the "tuner" could automatically get a list of what's available, so you could just turn a knob to switch between available sources, such as: * Sudo Radio (live) * Sudo Radio (programmed) * Mix Tape Radio * Radio Loki * All Bad Religion Plus Some TMBG * ...? * Profit So, come! I'll be at Sudo Room from 8pm to 10pm, doing whatever I want that happens to be streaming radio related. I'd still like to teach some liquidsoap programming to anyone who's interested. Cheers, Naomi ps. if you'd like to suggest a different meeting time, I'm open to it. Rachel and I do-ocracied this meeting date/time and I just stuck with it.
