Reading treasures part 1

So here is the edited version of part 1 of reading treasures.

 

Streaming without skype

Carla Arena, Dennis Oliver, Dennis Newson, Erika Cruvinel and I had planned a great session on reading treasures with everything planned and organized. However, Skype choose exactly this moment to detach itself from the rest of the world. So after several minutes of ho-humming, Carla and I took the stream without Skype and kept it up separately, each talking to ourselves.

Kicking the stream

Carla and I just had a great game of stream-football, where we practiced how to kick each other out of the stream in order to take over. Quite easy, really. It was also fun just to talk.

It's funny how you can get close to people simply through chat, but as soon as you can hear each other's voice and talk and react, it becomes intensified. After only just a couple times it feels like talking to an old friend.

Illyas Reflections on week 1

after an intensive week with talking to people (great!), trying out audacity (easy), getting used to my voice (harder) and more or less successfully recording a conversation( more less than more), I'm slowly starting to feel comfortable with the different programs. It's tough, a lot harder than I had imagined, but on the other hand, less than a month ago, I didn't even know streaming was someting I can do, so I will persevere and succeed with the help of the others. Thanks for being there :-)

Audio introductions

Hi everyone

I do believe I finally found my way around! At least I've managed steps 1-3: setting up Audacity, recording and uploading!! Hurray!!!! 

Getting lost

Hi everyone from the 2.2 group. I'm sorry I couldn't attend (was busy dreaming of sugarplums :-)), and I saw on the list that there are a number of people I already know!

I'm Illya from the USA, and would like to continue this introduction with audio once I figure it out. 

At the moment I'm busy getting lost in the book and all the links. I can't seem to find the screencast (camtasia?) from Jeff showing how you can record using Audacity. I know I saw it there somewhere. Could anyone help me out?  I also think I'm supposed to get a mentor.
