On the air (not quite)
a year ago
I don't think I was connected to my server when I tried to do the Saturday show. I was about to e-mail Boomer to ask him to enable my port, but my Mixxx program's green "on air" light came on and I thought I was already connected. Near the end of the show, I brought up the stream page on my cell phone and saw it wasn't playing. I'll be sure to double check things next week.

You can possibly rent your own music server, but the thing here is that I don't know how you would be able to do this when you're not on Second Life. I am sure there's a way, though, so you don't have to rely on Boomer to enable 9456 for you. I mean he does have a lot of stuff to do already and if you someday manage to relieve him of remembering to enable your port when you go live and help Romeo out, you will be doing him a huge favor for doing so.
For me, the music server that I rent is only for L$400 (400 lindens, a bit less than $5.00 in Canadian currency) per month and they even throw in a bonus week. But like I said, there be some other alternatives of renting a music server.
