It works on any Windows Server install, I used Windows Server 2003. You just arseign a new server role - media server. This installs the Windows Media Services control panel. The Windows Media Encoder is a free download. It works pretty much out of the box. You drop your content into C:\WMPub\WMRoot. I had to arseign some security stuff but not a lot of configuring. Windows even provides some sample content.

PS: LOL I got a personal visit from the CEO and a handshake out of this one. I was considering never washing my hand again but then regained my senses.

I was given the task of rippping Management Training DVD's down to a format that we could stream on our internal intranet. I set up a Windows Media Server and using Windows Media Encoder got a streaming server installed that feeds the ripped videos as streaming content. Slammed about 10 boxes simultaneously into the content and it never even burped.

Now management staff can view the content and learn to manage from anywhere they can connect to our network. Hope it helps. This was a fun side project for me and not all that hard. Just set the server role and away you go.

I'm a late comer for this app. I have been using FlyCast as it streams one of my favorite stations, WFMT from my time in Chicago (more specifically the show "The Midnight Special" on Sat. nights). It has a good mix of jazz and such but I mostly listen to WFMT.

I loaded up Pandora this morning as I do my daily RTFM sessions. I loaded up a stream for Jazz Fusion and WOW! This thing is great so far. I look forward to exploring it more and more. Kick a$$ Paco De Lucia "Rio Anchio" at the moment. I am digging the "Now Playing" feature on this app as the FlyCast feature kinda doesn't work for all the stations.

I should mention that my wonderful wife Christmas/Birthday gifted me a Bose SoundDock Portable digital sound system. This unit is worth every penny it costs. I have tried so many different portable sound systems and this one is IT. Lithium battery so it goes mobile with no issues. Crank the system to full volume and you fill your ears and the house with no distortion at full throttle. Remote control to pause the tunes in case I can actually hear the phone ring;-)

RTFM at the moment is Dragon NaturallySpeaking Dragon Medical 10 User Guide.

Loaded up Ubuntu "Jaunty Jackalope". I love how they name the distros.

Spent the day between the Ubuntu install and getting the Color Clarseic to come back to life. I had a minor power supply issue but she's running again. Played Lemmings for a bit.

Hope everyone had a great New Year Day!

I inherited a Dell PowerEdge 6450 (four P3 Xeon processors 4GB RAM - RAID 5) from an equipment retirement at work. It was headed to the dump so it came home with me. I set up the box and got VMware installed. Loaded up Windows XP and here I am. Next install is a Linux distro.



I am looking to get as many installs on the VMware box as possible and start the hack lab.
