CBC radio stream URLs

CBC Radio Stream URLs

Using these URLs, you can listen to CBC radio streams with applications like VLC or Transistor. The files are M3U playlists, so you can use them as-is, edit them to suit your tastes, or use individual URLs.

This playlist contains the .m3u8 URLs from the CBC Listen website, which uses the HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) protocol. The audio stream is broken up into multiple tiny files, which are then fed into the .m3u8 playlist file that delivers them to your computer in the right order. This should work with modern media players.

This legacy playlist uses good old-fashioned MP3 streams found on PublicRadioFan.com. It will work with older programs like Winamp that don't support HLS. I don't know how lo

Automounting NFS share in OS X into /Volumes

I have spent quite a bit of time figuring out automounts of NFS shares in OS X...

Somewhere along the line, Apple decided allowing mounts directly into /Volumes should not be possible:

/etc/auto_master (see last line):

#
# Automounter master map
#

+auto_master # Use directory service

Installing Graphite on OS X Lion using brew, pythonbrew and virtualenv

This is a general overview (from memory) of the steps I used to install graphite (http://graphite.wikidot.com) on OS X Lion. I think the steps are in order but YMMV. Please fork and fix if you find an error.

Install Python 2.7.2

curl -kL http://xrl.us/pythonbrewinstall | bash
echo '[[ -s $HOME/.pythonbrew/etc/bashrc ]] && source $HOME/.pythonbrew/etc/bashrc' >> ~/.bashrc
[[ -s $HOME/.pythonbrew/etc/bashrc ]] && source $HOME/.pythonbrew/etc/bashrc
pythonbrew install 2.7.2
pythonbrew use 2.7.2
pythonbrew venv create graphite
