Hi Gary,
YOU ARE WRONG :) - not gone away yet. The
streaming server service we used is this:
http://www.primcast.com/
On the Macroom website is just code to
embed windows media player in the webpage. Then
after that - when one subscribes to primcast you
get a unique URL to broadcast from. Depending on
which plan you go for you get a limit on the
number of Viewers that they can guarantee watching live right up to unlimited.
They will do limited event packages also, as we did.
And re the break - West we go, closer to the states :)

Nice new 4 star hotel - http://www.themaritime.ie/
Good value - as far as we concerned in the land
of the battered Celtic tiger - 230 for two
nights B & B 4 star, luxury for the room now, not
each :) - All rooms overlooking Bantry bay.
Theres a place not too far from Bantry called
GARNISH ISLAND, a strange name but a marvellous
odd place - here are some pic's:

Anyways, Oiche Nacht,

Hi Aidan :
Glad to hear you are getting away for a couple of days . You'll
probably be gone by the time this message hits the cyber-space .
I prefer to give credit where it's due and forgot to mention
that yesterday's stream was viewed via 'Videolan' , the dynamite
little multi-codec freware viewer . http://www.videolan.org/
This little beast will do realtime transcoding , serve streams
too , and comes with a ton of built-in codecs (so you won't have
to install questionable codecs [like QT]) .
Great , great little viewer .
What S/W did you guys use to stream ? What size pipe ? (etc)
Enjoy your getaway !

Cheers Gary,
Glad you got a look in on the parade live
stream - nice to hear it broadcasted out fine.
Yip - the Irish were a huge export - not
because they wanted to but due to hard economic
times, particularly pre 1990's. All my buddies
from college etc all left on the plane to the
states or OZ. I think I was the only one left
here. I suppose I survived here on playing
music and working for myself - wasnt easy but got better.
Go back then to the mid to late 1800's - huge
exporting then due to the potato famine and
prison ships to OZ. So Irelands history in the
last 200 years or so has been a tale of mass
emigration to all corners of the earth and most
NOT because they wanted to - more they had to.
I will raise a glass to your mum in the next
day or so. Myself and caroline are off for two
days R & R tomorrow, place in west cork called
Bantry. Getting away after a looooonnnngggg
frenetic weekend of messy gigs - 5 gigs in 4 days.
Cheers and slainte,
Aidan

To see a traditional Irish Town Parade nip
over here at about 3:30pm GMT today, Patricks Day ( 18th ):
http://www.macroom.ie/patricksdaycam.htm
Managed to just catch the beginning of the parade .
The streaming was very good . Watched it full screen and it
also had 22Khz/16 bit sound ! Unreal ! @ ~ 25KBytes/second .
Loved the part at the end where everyone was invited to
give big "shouts out" to friends and relatives around the
world . Seems one of Irelands biggest exports is people .
Happy Paddys Day to ye all,
Shur everyone is Irish today, enjoy a tipple :)
Cheers
Aidan
