[10:02]  Airam Uggla: Poppie, I think if youcan hear the typing, whistling & yawning your audio is ok...I think you can check it under the edit/preferences tab
[10:03]  Rhiannon Susanti: What was that about audio?
[10:03]  Poppie Oh: thx
[10:05]  Pip Vuckovic: what are we waiting for
[10:06]  Airam Uggla: oh dear...it has started?
[10:06]  Sisterof Barbara: Meno Rich: To listen to the live stream, click Edit/Preferences/Audio & Video/ Play streaming music when available. Then click play on the music player at the bottom of your screen.
[10:06]  Sisterof Barbara: oh, good!
[10:10]  br9luigi Amat: me!
[10:10]  Annie Matova: I followed those audio directions and still don't hear anything
[10:11]  Meno Rich: do you see a music player on the bottom of your screen?
[10:11]  Annie Matova: yes, with sliding vol. contro;l
[10:11]  Meno Rich: and you click play and don't hear anything?
[10:12]  Annie Matova: right
[10:12]  Meno Rich: hmmm - not sure why that would happen - you can try listening on the web by...
[10:12]  Annie Matova: ioops, I had my headset on. Unplugged it and now I hear. thanks

[10:22]  Airam Uggla: is the ppt fuzzy for you too, poppie?
[10:22]  Stella Merlin: yes
[10:22]  Poppie Oh: yes then it clears up
[10:22]  Stella Merlin: takes too long
[10:22]  Rhiannon Susanti: Annie: You're back--do you have audio?
[10:22]  Transcriptionist Writer: I think fuzziness is due to lag
[10:22]  Airam Uggla: some scrreens went by too fast to clear up
[10:23]  Annie Matova: yes, I had plugged in my headset and, once unplugged, I could hear.
[10:23]  Poppie Oh: graphics card and connection??
[10:23]  br9luigi Amat: SL doesnt support Intel Integrated Graphics cards... that could be causing some issues as far as presentation 
[10:23]  Poppie Oh: i think my graphics card is pretty decent for this stuff, airam

[10:24]  Airam Uggla: indeed it is an experimental event
[10:25]  Poppie Oh: don't know off-hand -- gamer brother was impressed :)

[11:48]  Laurel Zenovka: i have computer set up for audio
[11:48]  Oodja Fadoodle: it would be nice if SL had an embedded web viewer, since so many resources currently link out
[11:49]  Milosun Czervik: nope.. getting an internal erro
[11:49]  Laurel Zenovka: Number is for SKype
[11:49]  Milosun Czervik: error, even
[11:49]  Laurel Zenovka: we can't get to skype through firewall
[11:49]  Oodja Fadoodle: linking out is often a dicey proposition for computers that don't multitask well!
[11:49]  Laurel Zenovka: without setting up with advanced notice
[11:49]  Milosun Czervik: I know the price...
[11:50]  Annot8 Greatrex: I'm getting a "call failes" message from skype
[11:50]  Milosun Czervik: $100 per year for 1024 sqm
[11:50]  Milosun Czervik: and then increments of that for more land
[11:50]  Cosmo Commons: got an "already finished" msg for skypecast
[11:50]  Milosun Czervik: No space on EduIsland... sorry
[11:50]  Cosmo Commons: when accessing via +9900...
[11:50]  Milosun Czervik: "mylowsun"
[11:50]  Meno Rich: not sure what the skyepcast problem is
[11:51]  Meno Rich: feel free to skype 'worldbridges' driectly
[11:51]  Cosmo Commons: may have already been asked/answered...
[11:51]  Laurel Zenovka: ok can hear on phone, but not very well
[11:51]  Meno Rich: as long as you audio if farily clean, we should be OK
[11:51]  Cosmo Commons: but how will/does voice change SL, vs text-only chat?
[11:51]  Cosmo Commons: for communicating "inworld"
[11:52]  Milosun Czervik: tier costs REAL $$
[11:52]  Troy McLuhan: You won't be able to use voice everywhere. Just on sims who pay extra for it.
[11:52]  Lorelei Junot is Online
[11:52]  Meno Rich: who just skyped in? would you like to speak?
[11:52]  Milosun Czervik: ah... thought that Linden would be charging for voice... nice.
[11:53]  Milosun Czervik: tier = monthly rent...
[11:53]  Milosun Czervik: like server fees you'd pay to a company to host a website
[11:53]  Milosun Czervik: (and really, this is all data & data transfer)
[11:54]  Milosun Czervik: Yes...
[11:54]  pedroangel Miles: 0v
[11:54]  Milosun Czervik: SL went away from CreditCard-based membership
[11:54]  Laurel Zenovka: i am listening on the phone now, but the sound is not clear
[11:54]  pedroangel Miles: que vasiles aqui
[11:54]  Laurel Zenovka: is this the teacher speaking?
[11:54]  Troy McLuhan: Anshe Chung offers a lot of sims specially themed for Europeans
[11:54]  Milosun Czervik: and that opened up parts of Europe - residents in some areas are not used to plastic
[11:55]  Cosmo Commons: here's a link to a blog post I made from here (inworld) earlier
[11:55]  Milosun Czervik: (at least with regard to buying stuff online)
