I was able to finally get a proxy going at work to get around the facebook block. Took me a bit of trial and error, but I was able to get this working without an actual proxy server installed anywhere! Just a bit of SSH (with shell access to a remote linux box) and a crafty .pac file and you're on your way...

For a while I've used the browser-based UI called Ampache to stream my music files from my server to the computer I am currently on. This works well considering you only need to be connected to my network, have a web browser and a media player that can handle streaming. But I've been thinking recently that I'd simply like to be able to 'tune-in' to my music, just like it was a radio station (minus commercials of course).

Installation::
If running on an Arch Linux system, run this:
#pacman -S dvdstyler avidemux
Otherwise, check with your distros package manager for those programs.

Use::

I recently watched 'The Secret', a film about the Law of Attraction and getting what you want simply by thinking about it, for the second time. The movie talks about creating a dream wall to put the things you most desire onto. Apparently, the trick to this whole law of attraction is simply thinking about what you want on a regular basis. Seemed simple enough, but i didn't have the time or patience to get a bulletin board and find things in print that I wanted or find them online and print them out. ("eew, hardcopy.")
