*** Dinesh & Kavita's wedding present ***

It would be better if the fans were working though, but the important thing is to ensure that all vents are clear and not obstructed in any way.

 

[Kari]

Would that affect Dinesh's audio as well?

90 degrees? That is hot, and in itself could explain the audio issue (although video was not affected). I just hope you weren't actually using it on your lap. Do you have it on a table? Is there anything you can place underneath it at each corner to lift it up slightly and allow air to circulate underneath it?

I have it on a cooling pad, normal temps between 40 and 50 Celsius. The thing is, this whole thing with broadcasting live with Ustream is really eating resources, both cores working constantly at over 90%. I have to think something before I'm in Mumbai; in May it's going to be really hot and humid there. Might be I need to get a better cooling pad and take it with me.

Good thing is, I've noticed, that although temps go high when I start, the laptop cools down to normal pretty fast when I finish. At the moment I think it's going to be OK in Mumbai, too, as long as we keep live streams short, let's say 5 to 10 minutes, and do it mainly from for instance my hotel or café's and such where there's air conditioning.

Honestly geeks, this is fun! Completely new for me, I'm amazed how much I can do with simple tools, basic laptop and webcam. I'm a happy man, having this opportunity to play with my toys!

Just tuned in and watched the live performance in Cloudy California..
Viewing was not an issue...Could only hear Kari.
No Audio on Dinesh and Kavita was the problem for me.
When I expanded the viewing it went real blurry so I hit esc and went back to smaller viewing in black box.

What a pretty couple they are! Kavita is beautiful!
Kari you need a bath and a shave. hehehehe

 

[Kari]

Going to sauna later tonight, Dennis, but shaving have to wait. One bet to win first...

 

[Dwarf]

How was the sauna, Kari?

Have you updated the donation page or is there nothing new to update?
Just curious.

Mike

 

[Kari]

There's nothing to update. Waiting till Friday, then transferring money, Dinesh receives it Tuesday next week as originally planned.

Kari

EDIT:

Updated the page now, correcting the date and changing the amounts in INR and GBP due to changed exchange rates. Dinesh got INR 500 for free, for the rate is better now than it was three days ago .
Amount in USD is still the same due to only minor changes in EUR / USD rate.

 

[Hopalong X]

Thanks Kari.

 

[Kari]

No probs, Hoppy.

I have to admit I also have decided not to try to boost our collection now with this aftermath of Japanese earthquake and tsunami, having bad feelings about us collecting donations for a wedding when tens of thousands of people are suffering so much that also our members want to donate there, to help people in need, as can clearly be seen in both our Today and Earthquake threads.

I have therefore decided, rather than boost our thing, to personally fill in the missing amount when the wedding finally takes place so Dinesh & Kavita get the announced goal amount in any case even when we could not raise any more.

Kari

 

[The Howling Wolves]

Kari,
Felt the same way.
Fortunately I was able to support and donate to both.
We are all going through some troubled times but nothing even close to those in Japan.

Kari I can now see the video, it appears it was the Global settings to do with Flash, I didn't allow anything to get in once I'd made the necessary changes a short while ago came here and the first post of this thread now shows me the slideshow instead of just a black box

I knew we'd figure it out in the end

 

[Kari]

Nice to hear that, Joan. We are back live, Dinesh telling about life and love later tonight (I think?). I'll post here when I know for sure what time.

Kari

EDIT:

ATM testing how audio signal is broadcasted, after some tweaks I just made. Someone online and seeing the stream, please tell how you receive the audio?

 

[Hopalong X]

As you intended this is for for those who wish to donate.

I was just reminding you if you had forgot to update that was all. Not that you would ever forget anything.

Those that can do both will.

Mike

 

[Kari]

Hoppy, it was correct to remind me. The page states "updated at least daily", and my last update was three days old so it was clearly a lack of concentration from my side. Even if the situation was not changed, I should remember to update at least that information

My only defense is this on Monday, which led also to a nice full day together yesterday, doing nothing else than enjoying each other's company

[Hopalong X]

Kari

Your forgiven.

 

[Kari]

We are live at the moment, talking about life, love and plans of Dinesh. If interested, you can watch the stream in first post of this thread or directly at LiveCam from Mumbai « Wedding blog of Dinesh & Kavita

EDIT: Wrong alarm! Dinesh has currently so bad connection it simply did not work. Trying again later...

 

[Dinesh]

My internet connection is working extremely bad tonight. That's the reason Kari is having trouble listening to my voice and the video quality is a joke. We'll try once again. Sorry about that.

 

[Kari]

Small but important update: First money to Dinesh on its way « Wedding blog of Dinesh & Kavita

Kari

 

[Dinesh]

Thanks Kari.
BTW, we're trying to do a video chat right now. Lets see if it works this time.

 

[Kari]

DKWTV is on air just now, loud and clear. If interested, come to see us. Tonight's theme: Sheik Dinesh al Camel: The Man behind The Myth!
