    I knew I was right when they tried to take take my coffee away from me!

  2. Re:I made a radio "VCR", and it's easy. Try it! by riflemann · · Score: 2, Informative · on Timeshifting: Cram More Into Life

    I did exactly the same, beginning from about four years ago. I moved from Australia to the Netherlands and use it to keep in touch with Australian radio shows. It works rather well and I can listen to any FM station available in Sydney.

    I described this system on my weblog.

    And mine is even simpler. Use the Mozilla keywords feature, and all you have to do is to enter 'g ' in the location bar and you have your results. Saves loading a whole page.

    See how to do it.

  4. IPv6 streaming - simple by riflemann · · Score: 3, Informative · on Dutch Experimental IPv6 MP3 Stream Relay

    I've also hacked my own copy of icecast2 to accept connections over IPv6, and now listen to TripleJ and various other Sydney-based radio stations regularly online.

    Just playing my part to support the adoption of IPv6..

    My IPv6 Ogg Vorbis stream keeps me sane!

    Or for those without AAAA DNS working:

    Slashcode doesnt support IPv6 html links it seems :(

    These devices are available from lots of electronics suppliers, such as here, and simply run off a standard serial port.

    I have been monitoring the temperature inside and outside my house for months using these things. I use a quick perl script to read these devices from my gateway box, and run RRDtool to graph it.
