[Noisebridge-discuss] Rebar is back up, music in the space.

[Rubin Abdi]

I've gotten the Rebar back up and running, still showing the same (some 
broken) information. I suggest people check out the wiki page for it and 
start making some cool shit again.

MPD (the jukebox open source server) is running again on Zebra (the 
rebar machine) and also the Noisebridge-Greet machine. I've taken our PA 
system and hooked it up to the greet machine. Zebra doesn't have 
speakers setup yet, not too sure where to put them.

Additionally I've been hearing sound complaints from other members about 
loud music bothering classes in session in each of the class rooms. The 
greet speakers are on the ground next to the couches not pointed towards 
anything in particular. Again I'm not too sure where zebra's speakers 
should go without being to directional and loud, annoying classes. The 
current idea is if classes are in session music can happen around the 
couches, if classes aren't in session music can also happen more towards 
the kitchen area.

Both machines are right now recaching any music sitting in 
pony:/d1/music, currently there's about 344 gigs of content in that 
directory. Since Jof, Matt and Dr Jesus have shown great interest in 
unflustering the current network setup, I'm not going to bother giving 
either machine static IPs or reattaching the web based clients to one or 
the other. Members are welcome to use clients on their machine to 
connect to the servers.

Zebra - 192.168.3.100
Greet - 192.168.3.88

You can find a list of clients here...

Greet has this horrible issue with snd-powermac module muting the 
headphone jack when something gets plugged into it, and needs to be 
reset through alsamixer after each reboot. If anyone has some good 
kungfu with amixer, I'd appreciate some advice on writing a start up 
script to deal with muting and unmuting some things through it.

Haven't been able to find the Apple AirPort Express since I left it in 
the DJ booth. If you have a Mac or would simply like to stream from your 
computer mp3s to either MPD session, please poke me and I can show you a 
neat trick involving shoutcast and have MPD tune into your machine. It's 
very simple and can totally be scripted.

Jason Dusek does not appreciate my musical tastes when he's pulling an 
all nighter at Noisebridge.
