Open source radio software

Posted in Linux, Open Source, Software, Web with tags on November 24, 2011 by ubducted

The open source radio software for scheduling, automation and remote station management.

Airtime is the open radio software for scheduling and remote station management. Remote access to the station’s media management, multi-file upload and automatic metadata verification is coupled with a collaborative online scheduling calendar and playlist management. The scheduling calendar is managed through an easy-to-use web-interface and triggers audio playout with sub-second precision for fading.

Use Symbolic Links instead of vhost for localhost web development

Posted in Web on June 29, 2009 by ubducted

I spent a couple hours trying to setup some vhosts in Apache2 for developing some web applications.  The annoying thing is that my IDE (Eclipse/Aptana) uses a directory in my Home folder to store my projects.  Therefore I needed to create a vhost to point to those project folders.

What is more easy is to use the default Apache2 setup and put symbolic links in /var/www/ for each of your projects.  Soooo much easier!

Microsoft adds Open Source jquery to Asp.Net

Posted in Microsoft, Open Source, Web on December 4, 2008 by ubducted

When it comes to Open Source, I guess Microsoft has a love-hate relationship.  Whereas they hate what Open Source products like Linux and Open Office will do to their bottom line, they will use it when it suits their needs. 

MS will be adding the open source jquery framework into ASP.net.

This is good for 2 reasons:

  1. Maybe it will lighten Microsofts view on Open Source
  2. jQuery is a kick-ass product.  It deserves to be promoted through high profile products.
