For the first time ever, I’m broadcasting audio over the Internet!! I’ve got a Shoutcast server running. I won’t leave it on all night, of course — I’ll be using it tomorrow evening for the Christmas ceremony; I’m just testing it now — but if you click here soon after I post this, you might be lucky enough to hear the extremely exciting sound of me typing on my keyboard. :)
DO ME A FAVOR: Hey, loyal BrendanLoy.com readers, would you mind clicking here and then leaving a comment to let me know if the audio stream is working for you? I’m going to leave it running all night, playing the same song over and over, in hopes that someone will test it for me. :) It seems to be working on my end, but it’s hard to be sure…
