What we have at our Internet Campus:

I often receive the question of what we are using to deliver the Internet Campus to the world. I'll try to answer this nerd question on the next few postings:

Computer: I built a rack mountable computer to handle the main stream with the following specs:

Processor: Two Xeon Dual Processors @ 3Ghz
Motherboard: Intel PCI-XRam: 4GB DDR
Video: PCI-Xpress Card with 256Mb Ram
Audio: SB Audigy
Capture Card: Osprey 230 PCI-Xpress
Storage: 500 GB Sata 300 Hard Drive Raid 1
Power Supply: 550Watts
CD/DVD RW

We have the computer getting the video signal from the Main Video switcher from live services At this point we are building a new control Room to have a separated Audio Mix specifically balanced for internet.

We are using Windows Media encoder 9 to deliver the video trough a T1 dedicated lane with two streams: One at 350kbps and other at 115 kbps for mobile users.

Truth or dare?

One of the things that is surprising to me today, is the low value that many people assign to their own promises. Teenagers don't believe their parents, because they never fulfill their promises; Couples say "I'll stand by you forever" and few months later they walk on the opposite direction; politicians make promises to earn votes, and once the election is done, they forgot about it.

Few weeks ago, I was having a discussion with one of the leaders on the youth ministry at Flamingo Road Church about some technical difficulties we were experiencing during the broadcasting of our Student Service online, and I challenged him to fix the failures, so if he would complete the task with no errors, I will do my hair like him...

Reencounter...

Technology is great to be in contact with our beloved ones, few years ago, our family was divided by the distance, but thanks to messengers, chats and videoconference programs we have been in contact... but two days ago, I had the opportunity to meet with my sisters Tony, Paty and Martha and my brother Jose Antonio in the Family Ranch "La Sarana" on the middle of the mountains that surround Mexico City. We were there with no wifes, sons or friends... just the five of us. It was the first time that we were together since fifteen years ago ... wow... it was an incredible night. We were in the ranch having a great time full of memories, forgiveness, love, food, medical exams and fun. The seed of love and unity that our mother Sol planted many years ago in us, was giving us plenty of fruit. The experience to be together again, is somethng that we are planning to repeat as soon as we find another opportunity.
