I just realized that tomorrow is Valentine's day. We might want to move it to Sunday at Noon, CST then.

I'll still see if I can get on tomorrow, though, but I'll definitely be available Sunday.

If Sunday, then I'll be on sometime around 12:30.

Ok, after some testing with gleowine this weekend, it looks like Skype is *not* going to work. Even outside the what seemed to be 10-second round trip between us (and we were in the *same* state, even), the conferencing ability just doesn't seem robust enough to work for this purpose (Mainly, I can't figure out how to add people to an existing conference).

So, I guess I'm back to Ventrilo. I'll either rent a server, or make use of my girlfriend's 40-user server for this. I'll have it setup and the connect info here for the final test this coming weekend (Most likely Saturday).

Hey Zitch,

Thanks for all of your help with this Smile

Quick question. I don't have a mic so I won't be able to participate in the actual chat but is there any way I can listen in on it?

If they're using Ventrilo, you can join the voice chat and hear what everyone is saying without having to speak yourself. Ventrilo also has a text chat that you can use simultaneously with the voice chat, so we could use that for all the people that don't have mics.

Sounds good. I'd definately get Ventrillo if I could listen in.

I did a little reading on this, and it seems that there is a little more involved in setting up a podcast than I thought. But it's not impossible. Need to do more research.

Got a 40-user Ventrillo server up!

Here's the connection info:

Host: 74.54.222.40
Port: 4768
Password: 19zeek81
The password is for logging into the server; use it for the server setup.

Once you're in, you have to go into the following channel:
Channel: Cherry Blossoms Falling
Channel Password: shinkai09
(That is "shinkai" - zero - nine)

Final test connection tomorrow at noon CST.

I hope to get more detailed instructions up this weekend.

BTW, this was the chat server my girlfriend used when she was playing World of Warcraft, but it's largely unused right now. I hope to get some good chats going next week.

In truth, next time we hold something like this, I'll be looking into using Dimdim or Teamspeak 3.
