No harm in trying again

btw how much bandwidth could this kind of thing possibly use? Do you have a limit of 1MB per month or something?

1gb:groan:

 

Buy on AliExpress.com

[Dan]

Yes and a webcam to be precise

 

[gray]

Basti, I believe mikhail is a fine chess player

ohhh mikhail, .... I will be anatomized by him. :totti: ....actually I'm looking for someone who offers me at least one chance to win ... but maybe that is a good idea...so I'll get into an underdog role.

I have no way of saying this without sounding like a no-lifer, so I'll give it to you straight:

I was just how the members of our forum could 'socialise' outside the forum. I think it'd be great if we could arrange to play some online games together or something like that. A few things I had in mind are:

• Skype! This is a program I discovered a while ago, but never really looked into it much. It basically allows people to talk over the internet. I know things like this are a dime a dozen these days, but the sound quality is crystal clear.
  
  It's possible to have multi-user conversations, so I think it'd be cool if we could have 'conference calls'. It's much better than the built-in speech feature in MSN, and one cool application for it would be during matches, when some people could do some commentary work for us, and we'd all hear each other going nuts when Juve score a goal
  
  It's also great if you regularly call relatives who live overseas and don't want to pay for expensive international calls. You need a microphone of course though. I wanna hear all your interesting accents, so check it out at:

• Webcam - anyone brave enough with a webcam could throw up an offer to show their mugs to the rest of us. I've got a webcam, so there's the first offer :nervous: I've webcammed with a couple of forumers, and I thought it'd be interesting to see some more of you guys
  
  
  
• Online games - there's a bunch of fun little games we could play together on sites like Yahoo Games, such as Pool, Scrabble, card games etc. I've only played River so far and kicked her ass :devil: Any challengers?
  
  Of course there's also sports games, first person shooters (my favourite... anyone up for Quake 1 deathmatch? ), and I also love playing emulated games online. I dare someone to take me on at Xmen vs. Street fighter :devil:
  
  
  I have no idea why I'm doing this... a mixture of boredom and... well... I guess it's just boredom :sob:

Gray, this is a great idea.

I don't have neither a mic or the webcam on me right now, but I will bring them to the office on Monday, or I can try using this soft at home this evening.

When is everybody gonna get together?

Ok, it really becomes a no lifer thing if we plan to meet for an online conference with your forums friends!

 

[Dan]

how does this thing work!?

 

[Ramin]

..

I got skyp when it first came out about a year or so. But not many people were using it, so i got rid of it.

i'll get it again to hear everyone's voices.

 

[gray]

Thanks Elnur,

I dunno, haven't really thought about the logistics of it all, since we're all in different time zones, but I'm sure we could get it going during matches. Even so, we could just get chatting with whoever's online

 

[Dan]

Gray, all i can say is WTF?? how does this thingy work!?

basically you just add people to your contact list like on MSN, then you can "dial" them, and they pick up, and u talk using the microphone

Good stuff Ramin, get in on the act too mate :thumb:

 

[Elnur_E65]

But you can do conferense calls too, right?

How about conference webcams?

Is anybody online now?

 

[gray]

I'm talking to blackmint right now

You can't do webcamming on Skype, and you can't do conference webcamming on MSN either.

Get online!

 

[Ramin]

..

ok i'm on.

username: ramin01

 

[Elnur_E65]

There must be some soft which will allow multiple webcams.

Oh well, I have neither headphones nor a mic. So, until this evening!

 

[gray]

Yeah there should be, but I imagine it'd take a lot of bandwidth to have all those video streams coming in.

Go grab yourself a headset Elnur, it's pretty bloody interesting matching a voice to the name that you've been seeing on your screen for months/years

Today I've had a quick chat to Jeeks, blackmint and Ramin, and there were surprises all around... Ramin said I sounded nothing like a Korean :LOL: To be honest though I thought blackmint would sound a bit German :embarass:

It'd be great to have some more of you guys in on the act, because this opens things up a lot more than seeing people put letters on your screen.

Anyway when I wake up, I expect to see a whole bunch of you chattering away

 

[Elnur_E65]

Ok, about 8-9 hours from now I will be "hooked up" too

 

[Bjerknes]

Sounds like a good idea Graham. Just tell me what to do and I'll do it.

Damn I am so jealous of you Sebastian. How the hell did you manage that once in a lifetime photo op?
