• Chris Eddy actually lived in the room where he worked, keeping his minimal stuff in the closet and showering at the gym next door.

Here is some hardly encyclopedic and rumor-like stuff I took out of the article: --Apoc2400 08:32, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Xing Moments

• KWBR radio (a Pismo Beach classic rock station that had a clear signal to Xing headquarters) agreeing to let their broadcasts be carried on the internet (not knowing what that really meant), and then being shocked when caller requests came in from Finland. Xing wanted to carry KOTR, but the signal was not clear enough at the Arroyo Grande headquarters.

• Rich Fife programming a live (over a T1) broadcast reception system for the RealMagic MPEG playback board in a New York hotel room in 4 hours after 48 hours of no sleep.

• Howard Gordon's bow legged BMW.

• Live Audio on the Internet was demonstrated to the National Association of Broadcasters at their conference in 1996. The companies that coordinated and produced the live webcasts of KPIG Radio were www.butterfly.net, InterVox Communications and Xing Technologies.

• After a live broadcast from a concert of then popular R&B band The Fugees one of the band members puked on the ATRANS (Xing's live audio encoding device) used at the concert, rendering it inoperable.

Notes

• Howard Gordon later went on to found Surveyor Corp, which closed it's doors in the early 2k's.

• Early Xing Streamworks software can still be downloaded on cnet.com and other download sites to verify first use. Prior to Xing Technologies - the first computer sent live audio was on the Multicast - MBone Network. (need to verify) Xing Streamworks used the world wide web and was accessible to anyone with a computer and audio software in the mid 90's. Xing Technologies sent the first live broadcasters over the Internet, not RealNetworks as their press materials frequently mention. RealNetworks sent the first live audio sports game over the Internet at a later date.

• David Levine can be reached at www.butterfly.net still today.

Peggy Miles can be reached at intervox.com still today. Howard Gordon passed on July 20, 2010 ( http://www.sanluisobispo.com/2010/08/03/1237220_san-luis-obispo-technology-wizard.html )

I'm sorry to say, but "HIstory of the Internet" article was removed from the www.nab.org site.Special+Utilizator+$ (talk) 22:05, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

Xing and MP3

I found this article looking for information about the 'Xing' data which is often included in MP3 files, in the first MP3 frame, that thus is "abused" for additional meta-data, in particular allowing easy determination of the playing time of variable birate files. This data starts with a 'Xing' signature. 86.81.19.136 (talk) 08:33, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
