On February 8, 2000, I had broadband internet installed in my house for
the first time.
Now, nine years later, I'm commemorating this anniversary in a really
dumb way.
Not only will I broadcast using the standard Ogg Vorbis stream to TBRN,
but I'll also be providing an Ogg Flac lossless version as well, just
because I can.
Hear every fine detail that you would not otherwise notice or care
about. Cringe at the artifacts of any mp3 or ogg file I use as music or
bed material. Experience the true high fidelity of lossless streaming as
it was never meant to be heard... well, assuming your player of choice
can stream Ogg Flac.
Unfortunately for Winamp users, the libraries are too old to support Ogg
Flac streaming playback. However, if you use Foobar 2000 for windows
(unsure of programs for Linux and mac, though I'm sure they exist), plug
the address http://tbrn.net:8888/tas.flac into your ogg flac streaming
player of choice tonight at 10:00 PM EST. Doing so before then will
yield a non-working feed. Sorry 'bout that.
Otherwise, feel free to listen in any of the normal ways provided by
TBRN, as I do plan on an interesting show tonight, geeky bandwidth-using
thingy or not. Yes, I'm aware of the potential lack of listeners to this
lossless feed because it's so specialized, but does it really matter?
Yeah, probably. Oh well.
If you are as geeky as I am, chances are you have some deep, dark,
hidden secrets that you'd rather not have published... Actually, that
has no relevance here, so forget I said that.
This is a one-off deal. I don't plan on doing this every week, or, in
fact, ever again after this particular show.
Mainly, I'm just bored and feel like wasting some resources. Yeah,
that's about it.
