I’m about to upgrade the music server streaming software and will be shutting down the music stream for a short span of time. Come back soon it shouldn’t take more than 15 – 30 minutes if even that long.

Had to install some updates so decided to do some internal maintenance on the external rack that caused me to have to take down the music server for a brief moment Up abd streaming again before this post is made how do you like that!

After being unable to sleep due to allergies tonight and then checking the station I found it was stuck and not playing music for a good part of Sunday. I first want to apologize for that if you were attempting to listen Sunday. I will however be installing soon some monitoring software that will alert me more […]

One of my internal core switches on one of my networks went out overnight and I had to replace it this morning. This caused an outage for a while  in areas of the site, including the radios stream the “House of Beats”. Everything is up an running as it has been since 2004 once again!

Well I fixed an issue I had not known existed because I had not been doing my due diligence in monitoring certain elements lately. The windows media encoder had crashed and then disappeared on my music server when I upgraded and I usually monitor with Shoutcast enabled media players so I didn’t notice the issue with the Windows media […]

Had a power outage today and I was away from the office but everything came back online by itself except the music didn’t begin streaming. The cause of the power outage I am guessing is the street construction about a block away. I have not been told that the construction is officially the cause of […]

I updated the streaming media software to the latest version and had a brief outage of perhaps 6 or 7 minutes when I anticipated 3 – 5 minutes. Mainly one of the dynamic libraries that provide connectivity to MySQL would not release so I had to do a full system reboot even after shutting down MySQL. Now […]

I have brought the music server back online streaming music again. 

I had some station issues last night due to a software vendor practicing an extremely questionable licensing scheme that prevented me from streaming my music to you. A routine maintenance that should have took maybe 15 minutes at the most took all night due tho this ridiculousness! I was just switching over from a backup […]
