Goal for 2008

I can not believe that one class has already finished and another class is about to start, since I first started my Webcast Academy Internship!  I have set myself a definite goal for 2008.  I WILL graduate from the Webcast Academy this year.  I currently have 2 full 1 hour shows under my belt and after two or three more, I feel that I will be ready to do my Gradcast show.  

Success At Last!

It only took a brand new iMac and about 10 minutes of chatting with the fabulous Lee Baber and I was streaming and recording live on Sandbox B! Yahoo! I can't believe how clean and simple webcasting with a mac is. All you need is Nicecast and Skype.

Worldbridges Equinox 2007 Webcastathon - my contribution

Phew .... I took a deep breath and dived right in the deep end!  I've booked this time http://tinyurl.com/2xgh9z during the Worldbridges Equinox 2007 Webcastathon to interview my good friend Kim Cofino.  It will also be my first official go at webcasting/streaming on my new iMac.  I think I might have a bit of a play around in the Sandbox before the weekend - so if you're online when I am - watch out I might try out the stream with you!

Calling all Fairies and Angels

I'm not having much luck recording both sides of a telephony call.  I've started a forum topic here: http://www.webcastacademy.net/node/1171
and I would really appreciate any ideas, hints, tips, tricks, advice.  It's 1.37am and I've been trying to resolve this since 5pm.  It's time for me to get some sleep before the International Intern Show at 7am.  I'm hoping that some lovely angels and/or fairies can resolve my audio issues while I'm snoozing. 

Bumpy Ride - Task 3

Argghh!  Third task - not so smooth as second task.  Had success streaming (with the help of the most incredible and dedicated Durff!) in Sandbox A on Tuesday night at 10pm - and I know I was actually streaming as Sagittarian's Stream as my very good partner Jason could hear Durff and I talking!  Unfortunately, no such success with recording the stream - only my voice is present and I'm pretty sure it's because I'm not using a USB mic yet.

Recorded Telephony Call - Smooth Ride

I thoroughly enjoyed this task.  I tried to use VAC and Audacity first, having some success calling the Skype Test Call Lady (she's so patient and "there" if no one else is online).  Unfortunately her voice was not recording loud enough and I could not figure out how to make her louder.  My USB Mic is not due in the country until 5 August so I've been using a Mic and Headset but with two separate jacks.  Not entirely sure if that's the problem.  I had already downloaded powergramo

nzchrissy's Introduction

What an amazing first session with Cheryl, Susan and Jeff. I don't think I've ever had so many windows open at once and the chatroom was just humming!  So many awesome connections made today. 

I hope I've uploaded my introduction correctly!
