Wahoo!  The very first ever live show for my radio station! Guess what I am the DJ!  This is quite an epic event really the primier show for my radio station that I’ve been working on for weeks now.

Righto enough of me saying how great it’s going to be here’s the line up (or what I hope the general flow of the night will be like.  First up I’m going to play some dubstep/dance music from various artists (creative commons and non) we are going to play a mixture of it then once we get sick of this and into a more happier mood we are going to switch (slowly) to a more upbeat(or downbeat) rock music.  Which will set the tone put for the rest of the night as a merry cheery night with lots of singing.

Now listening to that now I know that you all want to come to the party that I’m streaming but that is invitation only but you can get the next best thing!  Listen to the live show!!!  Anyone can come online and have a listen (heck I want you too) you can even come into the chatroom during the show and talk to me and others listening to the show and after the show when the non-live playlist takes over you can talk to others listening too.  Ok now pop yourself over too http://radio.jonys.info to read more infomation about liberated melody but since I’m nice I will put the show info here too.

So here’s the details:

What:  Liberated Melody LIVE show
When:  Saterday 3 July 0900-(1000 or 1100)  GMT+0
Who:  Dj Jb mixing up some sounds for him and some mates.
Why:  Because we can and want to have a good time.
How:  Simply click the listen link on the navigation page @ http://radio.jonys.info ( NOTE:  when it’s not live it plays a playlist of Creative Commons music obtained from jamendo.com ,  if you want more infomation about non-live check out the non-live link on the navigation bar).  Also check out the irc chatroom (click the ‘chatroom’ link on the navigation bar @ http://radio.jonys.info ) to chat to people about the station and to chat during the live show( NOTE:  My nickname in the chatroom is ‘jony123′ feel free to talk to me but note if I don’t reply I’m either away, busy, at school or sleeping)

Hope to see you in the chatroom sometime or atleast I hope to see you there during the show.

Lastly know that basicly I am just streaming up a party so it’s going to be really unpredictable so come with a open mind really to listen to possibly everything and anything.   XD

After looking for something to do recently I though I may as well try to get an internet radio station to work.  With an earlier attempt at this providing some information I decided to look for a guide on the internet that uses icecast2 for the streaming.  And something like mpd with an easy interface for controlling what music is playing.

Using putty to proxy.

Do you often find yourself on an insecure connection or in an restrictive network?  Do you worry about who could be watching(or what).  Or do you need a connection to your server were only port 80 and 443 are allowed out.  I found myself in a situation which had both.  It took me awhile to search the net and find a solution so i thought i would share it here.

You will need.

  1. Putty. (Either the Windows version or Linux version.  If you are using the windows version I suggest the portable version http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/putty_portable)
  2. An SSH server.
  3. A browser.  (I suggest Firefox Portable.  http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable)

# Warning – I take no responsibility to what you do with the knowledge I’m about to present.
