[Newspoetry] tech questions / NEWSPOETRY LIVE AT SWEET BETSY'S!!

[gillespie william k]

Yay! We'll have to set a date and sit down and talk some serious
megabytes, get our high-tech ducks in a row. 

Using the power of the Internet we can lie and say that Sweet Betsy's is
an excruciatingly hip coffeshop on the lower east side. I guess that's
actually not a lie, when phrased like that.

Do you need a special server to stream, or is it just a fileformat?
