The Big Mashup

Carolyn and the PR team put together this nifty feature called The Big Mashup with interviews and commentaries from some of the movers and shakers in the participation age - including Martin Stiksel, CCO of last.fm, Andrew Baron, founder of Rocketboom and DJ Spooky. Plus there's a tie in with Snapp Radio.

It was one of those last minute scrambles to get Snapp Radio ready for this PR event. I did some testing on IE7 for the first time last night and found there was a rather ugly rendering problem. After lots of very bad words being directed at Redmond, I found the problem - yep, it was my bug after all, IE7 was just showing it better than Firefox or Safari.

Last night we also realized that some of the internal proxies/firewalls were not configured properly, so folks inside Sun cannot always get to Snapp Radio - thanks to the IT folks for figuring out where the problem was - things are being reconfigured now - so if you are inside Sun and can't get to Snapp Radio, try again in a few hours.

Now we are watching the Snapp Radio server to see how well it stands up to the Big Mashup load - its an old server - but so far it seems to be managing the load.  Since I'm not really a web app developer I'm interested in seeing how well (or not) this app scales to many users.

Whoa, the snappradio site is way cool. Just finished watching "Empty Spaces" by Pink Floyd. Most of the pictures worked well with the song, a few didn't but hey we can change that as everyone has a chance to influence which pictures make up the song and I am looking forward to seeing the changes to "Empty Spcaes in the near future.
