A Friday of Eclectic Old School and a Few new Songs

Trying to get back into the groove of things while I plow through some household chores while not feeling optimal with some old school a few new tunes mixed in ending up with a nice mellow mixture of jazz, R&B, blues, rock and pop with drops of reggae.

I updated my Windows OS music server that plays my mixes and my Linux system that runs my music relays plus a few other systems now time to be balanced and do some non-technical clean up and need to hear some tunes

Some of the artist that will be in this mix are YG, O’Jays, Ella Mai, Nickelback, Bootsy Collins, Darren Rahn, WC, Kylie Minogue so you can see it will be a very eclectic mix but I will try and make it flow.

2018 Multi-Faceted Musical Genre First Take

2018 Multi-Faceted Musical Genre First Take

Just as the title suggests a 2018 first take of a mixture of genre’s, I know not much different than what is mainly on my station but trying to pair in some cases different genres with similar types of songs of other genre’s from different musical eras.

 

Ah well something to listen to while I get the clutter out the house you can join me in listening by going to: http://dhoytt.com/snake-ice-radio-blog/

Upgrades Galore

Upgrades Galore

Tonight I updated the OS of my workstations, virtual servers,  physical servers, streaming software SAM Broadcasting from Spacial Audio and WordPress. My I started with my workstations and then my virtual servers including my Centos 7 web server that I run my blog on.

Then moved on to update my streaming media server which is W2012 R2. Right after that I updated my SAM Broadcaster software and my WordPress blogging\CMS software.

With SAM Broadcaster I also verified all my songs, backed up my database.

    Music Server Back Streaming Music after Updates

    Well what just started off as a W2012 r2 security patch update ending up being a bit more. I ended up updating not only the server where I process the music, run the streaming application with it’s database and ShoutCast relays but also my IceCast relay which is Centos 7. When I saw the new kernel I also did a quick and dirty update on my Centos 7 web server I have virtualizized on XenServer since it was a quick update for a virtual system.

    As I brought up the SAM broadcasting software I use to stream the data I noticed there as a new version and I took a leap of faith and updated that as well since it had improvements with how it interacted with my MySQL database.

     

    In short form back up and streaming ahead at full speed on the “Snakeice House of Beats” Ship streaming service!

    System Maintenance Reboot to Install Security Patches

    Apologies for the brief music stream interruption but installing some security updates on the w2012 r2 streaming server and will be back in a few minutes. My Centos 7 web server will be up still.

    I decided to update my Centos 7  monitoring server that also acts as IceCast relay since the streaming server will be down. This  monitoring /IceCast relay server is also a separate server from the web server ans streaming music server. My ShoutCast streams are run from the W2012 r2 server.
