After the last post about IceCast data, I figured we can use the data and send it over to some microblogging sites too. I’ll be using identi.ca, because it works the same way as Twitter does, it’s just open source and they will still support http auth. Twitter will no longer let authentications through it’s old API. But hey, open source saves us again!

I’ll be using the files in the old post, so make sure you fetch them. You’ll need the:

Dear Eenie,

I do not know you, or I never did. I do not know how old are you, how mean or nice are you, how beautiful or ugly, how human or non-human. In simple words I do not know you.

Today, you rammed my private saying that the informations I posted in my blog are not right. You had problems with me saying that jail was the manager of #Help and you took over, and you never did it seems, you were not a manager, and nor was jail. While I thanked you for the clarification, you…

Well, what can I say, by some funny way I ended up for half an hour in a net café. This brings up lots and lots of memories. In east europe back in the days (<10 years ago), we didn’t have internet at home, we only had net cafés. I’m talking about Romania now. The feeling was special, and when I got in here, that’s what I felt again. Let me try to explain.

So, back in 2000 when I first touched the internet, I started on IRC with mIRC, we didn’t know any other clients, just mIRC,…

I was like OMG! when I read the news that Valve will be releasing the Steam Linux client soon. Soon = a few months. Even a few months are awesome compared to the years we’ve waited for this! Finally we can play some awesome Valve games on Ubuntu without WINE! Counter-Strike: Source in a GTK+ environment, wee!

Yeah, it is big news, and I can say, that we, Ubuntu people, would even pay for these games. Why? Because we have an awesome operating system, which is for free, and we…

Before I wrote a post on scrolling song title and radio flash player, now here’s a new approach, which will help you display the Current song even if you have multiple mountpoints and fallbacks in your icecast config.

What are multiple mountpoints and fallbacks?

IceCast has the ability to run more than one mountpoints, and a different source can be connected to these. This means, we can have mountpoint /live and /live2, and different music plays on both. Also, we can setup…

Following the previous post, it’s time to hit the /join button and look at some official help channels and what have they done on the web. Since these are help channels there are basic things they’d need to have, like documentation, member list, rules, policies and so on. We’ll be looking through a couple of these channels and websites, to see what’s up. In some channels I have been involved before, but not in so many, so I might not know a lot, I’ll build my judgement from what…

I’ve always been fascinated by the Undernet chatters, it is a big community (ok, if you substract all the drones, around 5000). All these years there have been some pretty big channels around, and all of them had websites. Way back, 10 years ago most sites were done on geocities.com, now that’s over. On the romanian side, most of the channels were hosted on some go.ro, home.ro free webhosting. Times have changed, and web 2.0 has been around for a long time, so let’s just look at…
