  • I’ve been self hosting since 1998. My first non-website service was a VCR hooked to a firewire capture card running QuickTime server so I could watch TV in the computer lab at school.

    Your internet radio thing was neat. Mine was called Green Frog Radio. No, it didn’t go anywhere. Definitely not licensed whatsoever.

    I bought an Onkyo NetTunes amp that had Internet streaming built in, but it sucked and didn’t have any of the cool stations I liked. I got together with other nerds and we wrote a simple NetTunes proxy running mono that inserted our list of stations into the NetTunes server response. I hosted that for a while. All users had to do was configure their IP settings to add my address. It was a fun little project. Actually, I guess that was my first open source collaboration. Haha.
