ravishal ramblings my virtual life home about ravishal ravishal ramblings my virtual life october 7 2011 how to live how to die posted by ravishal under cool people general comments off on how to live how to die steve jobs has passed away and it has made me pause and consider the impact his life has made on the world apart from an iphone i haven t owned an apple computer but i ve used macs off and on over the past 30 years starting with the apple ii some people say steve was a first class jerk and a control freak i would say he wasn t really it was his company and he ran the organization in the way he saw fit the results speak for themselves as apple became a very successful and lucrative company more companies have emulated apple than the other way around his commencement speech from 2005 at stanford was a very inspirational piece here s an excerpt i especially like no one wants to die even people who want to go to heaven don t want to die to get there and yet death is the destination we all share no one has ever escaped it and that is as it should be because death is very likely the single best invention of life it is life s change agent it clears out the old to make way for the new right now the new is you but someday not too long from now you will gradually become the old and be cleared away sorry to be so dramatic but it is quite true your time is limited so don t waste it living someone else s life don t be trapped by dogma which is living with the results of other people s thinking don t let the noise of others opinions drown out your own inner voice and most important have the courage to follow your heart and intuition they somehow already know what you truly want to become everything else is secondary and on a lighter note but right on the money the onion honored steve in their own irreverent way http www theonion com articles last american who knew what the fuck he was doing 26268 may 14 2011 sl home garden patio expo 2011 posted by ravishal under about gospeed about ravishal cool places events kona stream comments off on sl home garden patio expo 2011 kona stream is proud to be a participant in the 2011 second life home garden patio expo our stream is piped through all 10 sims this year and will also be heard in the entertainment venues between performances look for myself or gospeed racer to be wandering about the expo exploring the sights feel free to request a tune too we also are proud to announce we have our own standalone client for the windows desktop from win 98 to win 7 you can now tune into kona stream using a very small but efficient client that also has a 10 band equalizer and 3 layouts you must have net 2 0 to use it which can be found here http www microsoft com net download aspx the client can be downloaded here http www konastream com files kona 20stream 20player zip just unzip to the desired location run the executable and a shortcut will be placed on your desktop rav december 1 2010 the old stream is back posted by ravishal under kona stream music comments off on the old stream is back just a programming note for all the listeners to kona stream as mentioned in previous posts i had switched to an icecast stream to replace the old shoutcast stream sadly the performance of the icecast server has been pretty bad i had requested simple edits to the icecast configuration file to alleviate the problems but the host provider refused to do it so i am coming back to the old shoutcast stream courtesy of jamie otis the same one i started with back in 2007 that url is http gold slserver com 8030 the secondary stream is http 174 37 194 139 8321 live ogg just a note about the streams the shoutcast has only 50 slots so if you are running a venue with huge crowds i may run out of capacity real quick the icecast stream has 25 slots and functions as a backup or secondary it s using the ogg format and has a higher degree of fidelity it is prone to more dropouts but if you make the right tweaks to your listening client it should work fine i personally listen to the icecast stream on my iphone and it hardly ever drops on me i have available a tuner at my studio that features these two streams look up kona stream in aracar the tuner is on the desk just take a copy http maps secondlife com secondlife aracar 148 101 99 november 1 2010 and it s done posted by ravishal under kona radio comments off on and it s done kona radio is no more check my profile in world for new tuning instructions kona radio 9 february 2007 31 october 2010 rav october 25 2010 small bumps in the road posted by ravishal under complaints kona radio comments off on small bumps in the road all transitions are hard even if you re shedding burdens as mentioned in the last post i will switch from shoutcast to iceast ogg format on the kona stream it turns out a popular viewer currently does not support ogg that would be imprudence apparently something broke in it last month and it s on the hot list to be fixed kinda sucks when people show up at a gig and can t hear your stream they sure aren t going to tip either i ve gotten a new cable modem from comcast to replace our problematic motorola unit of course it would be too simple to assume all the previous problems would simply disappear and nothing would replace them our new modem has a wan port on it instead of the more common ethernet port no longer could i simply plug it into an ethernet jack or wan port in my 8 port hub yes you read right a hub that s about 10 years old i had to plug them modem into the vonage adapter then feed it to the hub it just works but there is a big flaw when i move a lot of big files across the network it seems to swamp the network and it stops my station stream s from uploading to the server damn i ll have to spring for a switch it seems rav october 24 2010 kona radio changing gears posted by ravishal under about ravishal kona radio comments off on kona radio changing gears as i ve written about before i have been streaming online for a little over 4 years now from humble beginnings at east end radio and a fledgling kona radio my station saw slow and steady growth to where it became the most listened to sl based radio station the inclusion into the itunes radio listings helped tremendously also but success came at a price as my listenership increased so did my costs the licensing fees were 45 00 a month the shoutcast server was 18 00 and my sl tier was 8 00 on a good month i would have enough in sponsorships advertising and dj tips to cover the costs as time went buy it started to become a burden a hassle to scrounge for the money while it felt good knowing that thousands of people around the world liked my station enough to tune in at least once a week it just didn t pay the bills i do have a few hardcore fans who tune in everyday and perhaps my best fans were my sponsors they forked over the money knowing well that their contribution did more to keep me broadcasting than it ever helped their bottom line as many of my predecessors and current colleagues will tell you you ain t going to get rich broadcasting online count yourself lucky if you can break even the current royalty scheme is very much leveled against the little guy there is simply no way they can get ahead it s like we pay them the privilege to broadcast their music for those who can t find a sugar daddy to cover our costs or have enough disposable income to cover the costs we all reach a point where we fold up and move on once our drive to share is spent so where to now i have already dropped my listing on itunes which contributed to about 60 of my listener hours i will also drop my current shoutcast server in favor of a cheaper icecast server this will also shed a number of my sl and web based listeners i ll be using ogg format which will give me a superior sound for the same bit rate there will also be no advertising and station breaks will be less frequent the station name will also change to kona stream to match the station website name if you wish to listen or continue listening to email me at ravishal konastream com or look my profile up in sl rav september 3 2010 upcoming release of heath vercher s heath elvehjem whimsy cd posted by ravishal under general kona radio music tags cd elvehjem heath music vercher whimsy comments off on upcoming release of heath vercher s heath elvehjem whimsy cd below is a press release from a long time friend talented musician and all around nice guy heath vercher known in sl as heath elvehjem september 2 2010 just for clarity this is for immediate release i guess it s another afternoon spent writing e mails posting videos and eating lucky charms and somewhere in all this dear reader i realize the need to write a press release or some sort of official document chronicling the impending release of a brand new recording project i could write that in the third person and tell you that heath s latest release is sure to be a winner complete with happy go lucky piano tunes that will melt your heart or that this upcoming solo piano album will be more fun than a day at the beach but you don t really want to hear that do you i thought not and you know what you re exactly right how do i make solo piano fun that s a tough call well how about i start by telling you the release date ok here goes it s october 5 2010 see that wasn t so bad well heath what sort of songs are going to be on the album a very valid question and in case didn t figure it out this album is solo piano mostly let me start with the title piece whimsy one day while i was driving to work i got this picture in my head of an album cover and on the album cover you see a pianist or rather the pianist s feet while he or she is sitting at the piano from the attire of the individual you would think they are playing a formal event and the tone of the evening would be one of hushed silence and little talking from the vantage point of the photograph one can make out both feet of the performer and on one foot a shiny black formal dress shoe but on the other a fuzzy rainbow colored sock like the stockings you might find on a birthday clown and that s it amusing funny quirky and reflective for the kiddos there is the dreamers a solo piano piece with some added cello there s always room for cello right children are a very big part of my life from teaching piano to children to spending time with my nieces nephews and the children of my friends there is something innocent pure and magical about childhood and for some reason waltzes always remind me of lazy days as a kid letting my imagination run wild and seeing what new adventure waited over the horizon this song is for children everywhere and for the child within each one of us edgewater is another piece from whimsy highlighting recent and not so recent travels along the gulf coast i have always loved the water and i have always loved the south it s something in the air and something about the way of life down here that is inescapable and so that is where edgewater tells its story in drives up and down the coast in sunsets watching the waves crash along the shore and in adventures to have every single day te deseo also spanish for i desire you is a piece written for my wonderful wife i wanted to capture the sound of what it feels like every time i look in her eyes run my hands through her hair or hold her in my arms i wanted to capture in this piece all the sensuality that is loving a woman in the most romantic way possible this song is written for kisses in the rain candlelight whispers and dreams on the lips of two people who are deeply in love and it is for something much deeper this piece is written for a woman whose beauty goes so deep that mere words can fail to describe it and that s just a small sampling of the 11 pieces that appear on the release so come on in rest your weary head and laugh a little love life that s what this album is all about there is more to come more music videos performances but it all begins with you i have all 11 tracks now in rotation on the stream you can also sample some of his music here http www heartsparkmusic
