The program uses a web-spider that goes throughrepparttar web gathering and indexing specific information automatically,repparttar 132240 data being mentions of Sullivan’s name. The data found, containingrepparttar 132241 originating web address, context and date, where Sullivan’s name was mentioned will be logged into a mySQL database. The Director program then accessesrepparttar 132242 gathered data through a plug-in called xMySQL.

The Ego Machine’s prototype will be presented inrepparttar 132243 virtual death memorial gallery. He’s to encourage visitors to link into his website, discuss him on their blogs or visitrepparttar 132244 Ego Machine’s beta version and manipulate his store of after-life points. Meanwhile,repparttar 132245 gallery visitors will be given a chance to interact directly with its non-beta version. Other graphic design artists also created pieces forrepparttar 132246 show. An urn that holdsrepparttar 132247 remains of Roy Ferdinand, an artist who lost his battle with cancer on Dec. 3, 2004, will also be shown. Two artists are commissioned by Antippas to create Ferdinand’s urn that displays some ofrepparttar 132248 things he treasured and his artworks, after Ferdinand’s sister handed over Ferdinand’s ashes to Antippas.

The show simply showed that even as we are practically mortals and all, not entirely permanent in this world – technological advances may help in making us virtually immortal. -30-

By using a live streaming media server, almost any multimedia content can be streamed, including audio and video assets obtained from nearly any source. Streaming does not choose any type of multimedia – whether it is stored on old 8mm film reels or already stored as an MPEG file on your computer.

However, though your streaming server is live, you can never be sure your audience can see and hear your content as you intended for them to view and hear it. It should be understood that performance of streaming media is more crucial than any other type of Internet traffic. Loss of performance will instantly mean a loss of audience. And once your audience can’t connect or lose service quality, then your efforts and investment may be wasted.

To make sure your streaming media work, along with other investments online like content creation, high performance web hosting and content delivery networks, make sure that your investment delivers results. By this, it means that you have to make sure that your audience can see and hear what you are broadcasting.

Work on streaming your chosen multimedia content for necessary purpose it may serve you. Choose a streaming server that’s reliable and has a wide range of services like Tier-1 OC-192 Content Delivery Network (CDN); professional and knowledgeable customer service staff; support for a wide array of Media Formats; network designed fromrepparttar ground up for: scalability, performance, and redundancy. -30-
