22:09:02  mrsdurff ->  jeff likes chaotic times

22:09:35  kcaise ->  those crazy audio cables?

22:09:48  matt montagne ->  I second Jeff's
thoughts on Yuugma...yugma's performance isn't as quick as Mikogo

22:10:01  kcaise ->  that's right, audio
repeater

22:10:37  kcaise ->  if anyone can fix it,
jeff can

22:10:54  mrsdurff ->  i thought it was
3  weeks?

22:11:01  carolteach4 ->  How were you trying
to use Audacity?

22:11:29  carolteach4 ->  For recording the
livestream?

22:11:35  kcaise ->  yes

22:12:30  kcaise ->  absolutely matt

22:12:32  mrsdurff ->  yes!

22:12:39  JL ->  would anyone like to join the
call?

22:12:44  mrsdurff ->  It's Elementary is 4
people

22:12:56  Sheila ->  FYI - Maria will be on
NPR tomorrow.

22:12:57  mrsdurff ->  and Maria does all the
work

22:13:15  mrsdurff ->  NPR? Why?

22:13:20  carolteach4 ->  audio is really
choppy

22:13:38  Sheila ->  Weekend edition - only
about 60 sec clips though.

22:14:07  mrsdurff ->  that's me

22:14:16  mrsdurff ->  i was no help at all

22:14:26  Sheila -> 
http://www.scpr.org/programs/offramp/2009/07/18/cyberfrequencies

22:14:29  mrsdurff ->  hi chriss

22:14:45  matt montagne ->  I would use call
recorder on the Windows computer

22:14:46  kcaise ->  i made a little notebook
too

22:14:53  Sheila ->  Durff helps everyone!

22:14:56  matt montagne ->  it is a whole lot
easier to record skype calls

22:15:15  mrsdurff ->  Durff commiserates with
everyone but helps no one

22:15:24  kcaise ->  it is a tedious process
on windows

22:15:32  matt montagne ->  hmmm...kinda
reminds me of Lorna a bit!

22:15:34  kcaise ->  jeff makes it look so easy

22:15:37  Sheila ->  Untrue, Durff

22:15:37  kcaise ->  much better audio

22:15:38  matt montagne ->  yes, audio is solid

22:15:39  mrsdurff ->  fine

22:15:41  carolteach4 ->  @Durff - you are
very helpful - a great cheerleader, too.

22:15:44  Sheila ->  fine

22:15:51  mrsdurff ->  hugs

22:15:52  carolteach4 ->  Still choppy

22:16:31  JL ->  might be a connection issue
on your end Carol - restarting ETT A

22:16:32  mrsdurff ->  multi interviewer

22:16:48  carolteach4 ->  will do

22:17:00  Sheila ->  @Mireille I'm around now.
Call anytime.

22:17:02  matt montagne ->  I think that one
thing I've learned in WCA, Worldbridges, etc, is a tolerance for
ambiguity...

22:17:18  mrsdurff ->  did you adjust
preferences in Audacity?

22:18:27  kcaise ->  i thought the other way
around?

22:19:07  carolteach4 ->  I refreshed UStream
- better now - see shared desktop

22:19:15  matt montagne ->  Hello Chriss

22:19:20  matt montagne ->  welcome to Webcast
Academy

22:19:46  chriss ->  Hi Matt

22:19:47  Sheila ->  Oh, good to know about
Dells.

22:19:50  chriss ->  thanks

22:19:57  carolteach4 ->  You have to make
sure Audacity is not on microphone drop-down

22:20:08  carolteach4 ->  What is it? Wave-in?

22:20:21  Sheila ->  @Mirielle - I'm learning
as you do this !

22:20:50  mrsdurff ->  mireille is
an  expert

22:21:44  carolteach4 ->  Should be controls
to lower volume in left panel.

22:22:28  mrsdurff ->  i'm still waiting to
make my first $100

22:23:03  Sheila ->  I love it! JL is stumped!

22:23:16  mrsdurff ->  not for long he ain't

22:23:16  Sheila ->  Or pretending!

22:23:54  kcaise ->  jeff figured out my
problems

22:23:57  minh ->  what's the session number

22:23:58  carolteach4 ->  There are volume
controls within Audacity - can always use the squeeze tool to adjust
volume later.

22:24:16  kcaise ->  let me rephrase that. he
figured out how to solve the webcasting problems i was having last
summer

22:24:18  Sheila ->  @mrsdurff - that reminds
me, I think I owe you about $12 now. What's my tab now?

22:24:29  mrsdurff ->  it

22:24:42  mrsdurff ->  it's $36

22:24:52  chriss ->  session number i think is
415-500-067.

22:24:56  Sheila ->  Oh. Check's in the mail!

22:25:04  Sheila ->  ;)

22:25:04  mrsdurff ->  :)

22:25:29  carolteach4 ->  That looks a little
too soft for me.

22:26:19  kcaise ->  what do you mean you dont
want the flat stuff jeff?

22:26:41  mrsdurff ->  i like that,"whatever
works"

22:27:52  Sheila ->  That was in skype?

22:28:41  mrsdurff ->  good name for a TV show
- Matt Peaks

22:28:48  kcaise ->  good one @durff

22:29:01  kcaise ->  baloney!!

22:29:10  mrsdurff ->  Jeff is NOT shy

22:29:22  kcaise ->  dont flatline jeff

22:30:16  minh ->  i'm in the mikogo sesion
but missed to much about what to do at the beginning

22:30:50  carolteach4 ->  I think I just lost
it.

22:30:50  Sheila ->  I still have those issues
with the Mac and soundflower. Won't play some of my mp3s on the stream.

22:31:02  kcaise ->  go for it mireille!

22:31:12  Sheila ->  Do it!

22:31:35  Sheila ->  You'll have people on the
skype call to walk you through it.

22:32:08  mrsdurff ->  i have never graduated

22:32:18  mrsdurff ->  because i never learned

22:32:32  kcaise ->  i am not sure if i did
either durff

for me. that and ustream

22:33:16  kcaise ->  yes

22:33:44  mrsdurff ->  he better not say no

22:34:24  carolteach4 ->  Love her spur of the
moment - no and then yes - why not!

22:34:53  mrsdurff ->  jeff is rubbing odd

22:34:58  mrsdurff ->  off

22:35:03  mrsdurff ->  i can't type

22:35:35  mrsdurff ->  varsity violin?

22:35:50  JL ->  Jeff is pretty odd though

22:36:14  mrsdurff ->  so is durff

22:36:44  Sheila ->  Can we schedule a Mac WCA
session?

22:36:55  JL ->  yes 'we' can

22:37:09  mrsdurff ->  you just volunteered,
didn't you?

22:37:43  mrsdurff ->  you asked?

22:37:49  mrsdurff ->  i never ask

22:37:54  JL ->  I second the nomination

22:38:02  Sheila ->  I still need some help
and I know there were some others to try to update pages.

22:38:27  mrsdurff ->  was it AL Gore?

22:38:34  JL ->  Since Matt is distracted, I
nominate him to be Sheila's co-chair

22:38:38  Sheila ->  Ok, how about next week?

22:38:49  mrsdurff ->  sounds great!

22:38:58  Sheila ->  I think Peggy was
interested too.

22:39:11  Sheila ->  IS shee around?

22:39:29  mrsdurff ->  not sure

22:39:46  carolteach4 ->  I'm trying to record
right now using Audacity as an experiment.

22:40:24  mrsdurff ->  Kim is very young

22:40:41  Sheila ->  He's stuck in NH!

22:41:03  mrsdurff ->  yes

22:41:58  carolteach4 ->  Got some recorded
and even with the spikes, it sounded fine.

22:42:18  carolteach4 ->  Of course, it might
not be up to Jeff's standards.

22:42:25  mrsdurff ->  sound thing !

22:43:59  Sheila ->  How about a Mac session
on Sunday, 11:00 am EDT? Or is that to early for left-coasters?

22:44:21  carolteach4 ->  seeing chat right now

22:47:38  chriss ->  I can't seem to join in
Mikogo. Are all in the chat room there now?

22:48:57  Sheila ->  Can hear a bit of a hum.
Low in the background.

22:49:15  Sheila ->  No chriss, some are here.

22:49:45  minh ->  i cant get there either
chris

22:49:56  chriss ->  ok, thanks Sheila. Just
trying to figure it out

22:50:03  minh ->  I can see it all but not
interact atall

22:50:20  carolteach4 ->  I never purchased
Camtasia. I have used SmartNotebook10 recording feature to record
actions on the screen and my narration of what is going on. As I
recall, Camtasia is more interactive.

22:50:38  minh ->  i have a red arrow with my
name

22:50:50  chriss ->  not sure

22:51:10  minh ->  I am happy to lurk :)

22:51:22  carolteach4 ->  Maybe you could
uninstall Word2003 and then reinstall it. I don't know why it is
freezing.

22:51:36  mrsdurff ->  hear, hear - i concur

22:55:37  mrsdurff ->  listen to jeff talk
himself out of a corner

22:56:45  chriss ->  It's a passel of great
born teachers here. Thanks for the great info. 'night for now.

22:56:59  JL ->  Night Chris

22:57:03  carolteach4 ->  Is your wife getting
prepared for going back to the classroom this fall?

22:57:36  JL ->  sort of - kind focused more
on enjoying some downtime

22:57:59  mrsdurff ->  now wiat - i'm 12

22:58:04  carolteach4 ->  How is mireillem
going to use this - specific details please.

22:59:01  mrsdurff ->  i think i need dessert
- choc frozen soy sounds good

22:59:48  carolteach4 ->  @durff - Can't eat
anything - blood work tomorrow morning- down 23 lbs. from last year at
physical today. yeah

23:00:01  Sheila ->  Wahoo!

23:00:15  carolteach4 ->  I almost fell off
the scale - so happy.

23:00:32  matt montagne ->  congrats on that
Carol...that is great!

23:02:19  matt montagne ->  that is
brainstorm-esque

23:03:24  carolteach4 ->  If folks are
committed, they should show up unless there is some drastic reason why
not.

23:04:41  minh ->  lurking works for lots of
things but skill acquisition is different

23:04:59  carolteach4 ->  Like the smack down!

23:05:29  mrsdurff ->  this lurker is tired

23:05:55  mrsdurff ->  it's after 11pm you
webcast addicts

23:06:09  minh ->  early afternoon here

didn't graduate = i could never do all this stuff

interesting; understanding it a little better each session. Night now!

schultz's take on the difference in days?

23:18:04  minh ->  the Peanuts cartoon guy?

23:18:07  mrsdurff ->  no
