Wow, that gonna be great Daryl... one comment of
your made me think about something else actually... the idea of an online
looping venue is superb, so this is what you have... 2 areas one called The
Stage and One called ... um the mosh pit (maybe not... not much moshing at
looping gigs... ) Now The Stage is your NinJam server, jump in here to
contribute... THEN... you run an additional client maybe ON the server
(bandwidth permitting)... THEN you also run a shoutcast server (even easier to
setup than the NinJam server) this should point to the audio out of the
soundcard.. then you have a "listen only" access, for people who just wanna
listen to some live improv looping!!!
neat huh... ? However, this functionality may be
pretty easy to implement in the client... sdk is available I think... gonna
check the ninjam forums and see if any work has been done with
this...

Subject: Re: Ninjam server
Mark, it's good to hear that setting up a server is easy to do.
What I'm intending is, indeed, to create a permanent home, something with
enough muscle and bandwidth to allow us to depend on it. (I am intending, too,
to donate money to keep it running, as much as is possible depending on the
final costs). I must say it is an attractive idea - very socialist! - to have
a number of different servers all provided by those of us who can, with a page
to track them. It does have the additional advantage of allowing multiple
sessions at once. But what I'm thinking right now is to focus on one server,
and giving that as much support as is needed. I also like the idea that having
a single location would give it a certain elevation, like a venue more than
just a practice space, where people could conceivably tune in anytime to hear
some live looping music.

I think the idea of setting up an LD Ninjam
server is great, however is it really ness to find a permanant home...
(unless someone here is gonna donate one). Installing the NinJam server is
incedibly simple, even for complete idiots like me, and you don't need a
special "server" machine either. My server that i have been running is just
on my work machine and I can basically have it running whenever Im not
working.
What WOULD be a good idea however would be a
page that can track what servers are currently up and running, and number of
current users. Exactly like the Jam Farm page. So I would, for example,
register my server IP on this page, and then it would track when I was
running... maybe some hassle of course... but could be a more flexible and
collaborative solution than one dedicated server that may go sown and
have no one to fix... Lets ALL put up servers and share by a centralised
info hub???
