Friday Night – Saturday Morning  System  Maintenance on Radio Server

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 KVM switch to one that was returned after I sent a defective one in.
I was staring at total downtime for the entire weekend for the first time since I started broadcasting and streaming over the internet since 2004. Already this has been one of the longest times if not the longest time of dead air since I started doing this!
I had tried reinstalling and some other things to get back up and running so a few items I may have to tighten up again.
F!#% I’m going to bed but I do have to give a small bit of credit to the support person who allowed the activation of something I should never had to do in the first place since I had already paid the price!
May be time to go out and explore options but I’ll cool off first!
I”M OUT FOR NOW!!
