Tuning Up

An update on my home radio station. The transmitter is being ordered tomorrow and should be here soon.

Also, after working over the weekend to build an RPM for UBS, I found that UBS would act bizarrely whenever I tried to play music. Turns out that the pathnames my package was giving it were not being applied to the source code in all the proper places. When I ran it with its default (and ugly) /usr/local location, things seemed to work. Or better, at least. It still didn’t play music. But I’m closer. (Maybe I don’t need to play music. The station jingle could say: “Radio Windsor Forest: Your Sounds of Silence!”)

What I’m looking for is a ready-out-of-the-box station application. If I can get UBS straightened up enough to build a package, it might play that role. We’ll see.
