So on friday night (7th April), my dad, my brother and I embarked on a journey of a lifetime. (Just kidding).
We set off on friday at about 5pm, ready to get to the port of newhaven for 11. We had McDonalds and prepared for the 3 hours of sleep which we'd be lucky to get on the ferry. At around 4 in the morning, we got off the ferry and drove for about an hour to a small Aire in the middle of nowhere where we managed to get another couple of hours sleep.
Welcome to my post on Hacksoton! Today I will be giving you a summary of what I got up to at the Southampton coding event.
To start things off, we arrived promptly at 9:30 when the doors were due to open and were welcomed by all of the organisers who gave us our name badges and food cards. The food cards were completely free and could be exchanged for a bacon & egg roll (breakfast), a sandwich, some crisps and some fruit. Dinner was burritos (chicken, beef or veggie) which were all very tasty.
In today's post I am going to be explaining just how to make an online radio station.
The first thing I did was to pick a genre for my station. For example, I like chillout music and drum and bass. i had a quick search on YouTube and I found some tracks that I liked to listen to. I then went on to ovh.co.uk and had a look at a domain for my station. I had decided to call my station 'Just Chill DnB' and I thought I could get the domain justchilldnb.com, then I tried to cut down on the characters in the domain and eventually got chilldnb.com. After that, I registered the domain for a year, which set me back £8 (~$10).
