carlow based web radio station

thats cool, everything seems to be improving slowing on my end anyway, the buffering seems to have become less intermitint, lets hope everyone is off the internet except the listeners of this radio station

wow - the connection is back to normal - test stream is at 64k but theres still a bit of skipping. i'll be on skype in about 20 mins - cormacs is the username

I jsut want to make sure the connection doesnt go crap again

iamhunted

we should try that skype experiment again soon mark .... theres now 18 hours of shows playing and I *think* the thing will stay up 24/7 now - bar a minute every 18 hours when the thing restarts itself.

Also, there a link to the new chat part at http://raid.radiocrackle.com as well.

... http://raid.radiocrackle.com has now been updated with a small popup player which makes it handier to listen and surf at the same time!

iim thinking a show on tuesday 9pm and a test and chat via skype sometime sunday ....... whatcha think?

Looking at the stats we're getting about 10 or so listeners a day (which isnt bad considering I only got the last of the gremlins sorted out last night) and one coincidental thing Ive noticed is most tune out when the mike and keef show is on ... heheh .. so we need new shows to replace those with ....

iamhunted

Digiweb still havent sorted out the terrible upload speed (15k today) so if its still like that on tuesday, we'll just pre-record it rather than do a live show.

I'd really like to know if im listening to a live show or something pre-recorded..
(Not the most helpful comment i know,) but im listening now and most listeners would like to know

Edit: dont mess with the reverb button..

iamhunted

at the minute they're all pre-recored until we get some live shows on the go but the idea behind it is a bit like normal radio when you cant really be sure if the show is 'live' live or just a recording of a live broadcast.

It all depends on how many shows we can get going live, but when they are live I'll make sure theres info on the main site (and I'll spam as many forums as I can).

The shows playing though are old though .. they need to be replaced with either live shows or recordings of new live shows.

Theres also an archive link there as well, plus once apple get back to me there'll be a podcast link too.

I blame that Cormac feller for that reverb

sunday/tues sounds good, on sun, though, it will have to be late afternoon, as im in all day sunday, in work. pre recorded/not pre recorded its all cool...

aynon

im available now, hunted, if you want to do a test broadcast....

iamhunted

ive less than 2k upload at the minute so neither a live broadcast nor skype will work. feck you digiweb! Im off to send my 4th email of complaint in as many days

aynon

my god! where are you? you must be miles from the exchange?

iamhunted

nope - just out in crossneen. never had such a problem until the last few weeks.

aynon

exactly, when you need it most, it buggers it self.

iamhunted

i've no idea if this has anything to do with it. doubtful - but at the same time Im getting no replies from digiweb which makes me think they know of the problem but are waiting until it sorts itself out.

aynon

omg, i hope not, maybe this is the truth about digiweb....

iamhunted

i honestly dont think that affected ireland though. download is perfect but hte upload is really bad. hopefully this will get sorted out soon as Im itching to get broadcast some more

aynon

my dj hand, i cant keep it under control.....

come on digiweb!!!

aynon

any word from digiweb? whats happening?

iamhunted

digiweb have changed my IP about 10 times in as many days (used to be kinda static - one change in 18 months) so I assume they're trying to do something about my connection.

Can we get together sometime this week? either on skype or in person ...

aynon

you available tomorrow to meet in person?

aynon

i am also available on skype and your chat system for about the next hour

iamhunted

aynon

LIES!!!but we will see how things pan out!

iamhunted

aynon
