Sounds good Martin, you are doing a great job. Well done.

Feek · 03-11-2007, 01:07

Agreed - I've closed it now because I'm on TeamSpeak but it was sounding good.

The guy thats on air at the moment has had a fair bit to drink - its probably for the best you tuned out

Blackstar · 03-11-2007, 01:11

Well i sort of guessed from the fact he is presenting half nakid!

Dr. Z · 03-11-2007, 01:21

When it comes down to it, I absolutely LOVE radio. It rocks.

True. I've tuned out too now as that's a bit too loud for post midnight for me, but it was all good.

PS - I think your newsreader had a little trouble pronouncing Menezes.

We get our news from IRN, so it was them that goofed, not us

The 6 o'clock news is done in-house though

Some interesting statistics for you:

Currently, the streaming server is outputting ~1Mbps. It has already reached the 32bit (4Gb) wrap on upload twice today.

Over the duration of the broadcast we will use 90 VHS tapes and will create over 30Gb of MP3 logs @96kbps.

The temperature in the studio (not the apps room) is probably touching on the 30c mark, and will be extremely humid too.

We are drawing somewhere in the region 20A of continuous current.

We are spending roughly £8/hr to stay on air, excluding tech "costs" that have been "donated" my members of the society.

VHS tapes? er. why?

I use munin (it's in portage, though masked) for some nice funky bandwidth graphs on my boxen, but as you're now live it's probably not such a good idea to be playing with that sort of stuff now.
