Google cache has it... hmmm even google cache seems to be having issues for some reason. Should be here. He even mentions Hugo's original project, which I also based my original car MP3 player off. _________________________ Christian #40104192 120Gb (no longer in my E36 M3, won't fit the E46 M3)

Shonky pooh-bah Registered: 12/01/2002 Posts: 2009 Loc: Brisbane, Australia	Hang on. This guy is running a Sun server in his car? That's pretty insane if you ask me. Don't know how this classes as Slashdot news. Woopdeedoo. The guy took a massive server, whacked an inverter on it and wrote some primitive scripts to play MP3s. Who cares? The empeg reference in the first comment was nice and shows we are still though of. Does appear to be a slashdot troll though. The pics show it still on castors. He couldn't possibly drive around like that. Edited by Shonky (18/06/2004 02:25) _________________________ Christian #40104192 120Gb (no longer in my E36 M3, won't fit the E46 M3)

If you could drag 4 out make a beowulf, make it play Oggs and live in Russia then you'd be set for Slashdot Glory. _________________________ Mk2a 60GB Blue.
