[locustream] inactive stream in Chicago misplaced on map
by Eric Leonardson 02 Oct '09

02 Oct '09

Hello, I wonder, could the owner/administrator of the Locustream named "chicago_northside" correct either their location or stream name to more accurately reflect where it actually is placed, please? Currently it is located in Chicago's downtown, loop area, not on the "North side". As Jerome mentioned, you can type your address in, in the admin page. Or, to be more accurate, find your longitude and latitude and enter that just below the address box.

[locustream] new chinese stream
by Peter Sinclair 23 Sep '09

23 Sep '09

I'm happy to announce the birth of a new stream in Yunnan close to Lijiang in south west China where I am currently doing a residency. Details are on the map but I did want to mention that we finally got rid of all ground noise by running a long wire from the stream box (fixed with one of the screws on the serial plug to a metal staircase outside which makes a very efficient ground (there is no earth on the mains electrical installation). We made wind protection using scouring pads and a small sieve covered with several layers of nylon socks which we then fixed under the eves of the building. The network drops occasionally as does the mains electrical but the sound is clean. Best Peter Peter Sinclair petesinc(a)nujus.net http://petersinclair.org http://nujus.net http://locusonus.org

Re: [locustream] streambox setup
by Eric Leonardson 23 Sep '09

23 Sep '09

I finally have my router working and the streambox connected. Since my keyboard will only type a question mark character "?" when I type the underscore character "_" I had to go in and change my settings on my admin page to remove the underscore characters and also to allow me type shorter names into the Pd patch. In the Pd settings, stream-name is "westside" (it was was "421ndrake"), your-name is "ericl", and location is "chicago" I pressed the bang button to apply values and connect. In my admin settings, city is "chicago", location name is "westside" (it was was "421ndrake"), and your name is "ericl". You can see it on the map if you zoom in to Chicago, north of Garfield Park. Now, how do we get the Icecast server to recognize "chicago_westside.ogg" instead of "421ndrake.ogg"? BTW, in the admin page the "Pd patch" link was 404: "The requested URL /soundmap/lhoosl.html was not found on this server."

[locustream] ground-noise
by Peter Sinclair 06 Sep '09

06 Sep '09

Dear All I've noticed that most off the streamboxes have a small amount of ground noise. I'ts kind of a shame because the sound quality, especially with the new microphones is getting quite good. If you have a screen plugged into the streambox its mains connector automatically provides a ground, however when you take the screen away, since the streambox only has a 2 pin mains adapter that nasty ac buzz appears. Here is an easy way to remedy it using a jump lead which is easy to find in any electronics store: This is using a french mains outlet - for other countries you'll have to improvise but I'm sure you get the idea. best Peter Peter Sinclair petesinc(a)nujus.net http://petersinclair.org http://nujus.net http://locusonus.org

[locustream] 4th of July
by Eric Leonardson 04 Jul '09

04 Jul '09

Today is the 4th of July in the United Sates, otherwise known as "Independence Day." It is also the first anniversary of the World Listening Project <http://www.worldlisteningproject.org>. Once the sun begins to set, it will be a noisy night with fireworks exploding throughout my neighborhood. Obviously, with the explosions there will be a very wide dynamic wide on my Locustream. Being all located in urban centers, I expect that other U.S.-based streams will pick up the sound of fireworks, too. My stream on the Soundmap <http://locusonus.org/soundmap/>: "chicago_westside" All the best, Eric -- Eric Leonardson E-mail: eric(a)ericleonardson.org <mailto:eric@ericleonardson.org> Homepage: http://ericleonardson.org/whatsnew/ World Listening Project: http://www.worldlisteningproject.org Midwest Society for Acoustic Ecology: http://mwsae.org <http://mwsae.org/> Delicious: http://delicious.com/eleon Twitter: http://twitter.com/eleona Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/ericleonardson Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/eleonardson/ YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/ericleonardson mobile: 773-218-5796 skype: worldlistening
