Live Lecture broadcast tomorrow!! Baladeva Purnima
Nitaisundara Das - August 16, 2008 4:04 am
OK, the time has come. Tomorrow at 10am Pacific time Guru Maharaja will give a class and it will be broadcast live on ustream. We tend to run behind schedule some so we may not be on until 10:15. Keep in my mind this is our first attempt so technical difficulties may be there. I have not had time to explore the ins-and-outs so I ask everyone be sure they are muted, but I don't think that is actually an issue because it seems you can only view, not broadcast, but just to be safe. There is a chat box where you can ask questions but at this point we are not sure if GM will be able to address them. Please don't chat with eachother during the talk because it may distract GM. Also, unless you have a ustream account your name will not show, just numbers, so please include your name in the same post as any question.
For those of you who won't be able to watch live, we hope it will be recorded and you can click the same link below and watch it later on.
If you click the following link you should come to a page with a picture of GM, or, if the talk is going on, a live video. The chat box is on the right hand side.

Will this be a new thing going forward?

Great the video got saved on the same page!!

I'm seeing where I think the video should play, but nothing happens. Is the class currently available to watch? I see the dialogue box and the names of those who were watching, but in the large box to the left, I don't see anything?

By the way, was that shot with an iSight??
Sure didn't look like it.

Thankyou so much for arranging this! I have been offline for a couple of days so missed the live broadcast but am able to watch the download.

Did no one else have problems with the audio?
I listened to it while working, and OK, all kind of machinery was running, but the laptop was connected to the speakers, and still we could barely hear anything.
Today I told my coworker Damodar about it and he could barely hear it out of his PC's speakers and later his headset. It seems that the mic GM was wearing was for the recording and connected to the kitchen and that was fine, but the ustream conference was with the built-in mic of the laptop. When Nitaisundara first got online it was so loud the walls were trembling, because he was holding the laptop to his chest, but GM had way far away.
I am going to listen to the class now from my laptop and see.
Nitaisundara Das - August 19, 2008 4:17 am
yea we threw it together at the last minute and I do not have the capability at this point to connect a good mic to the laptop. Also our usb webcam seems not to work with ustream, so we just used built in isight. I havent had time to work on the setup at all. If anyone felt inclined to research webcams for macs that would work with ustream also that would be great. Also usb mics i guess are what we need.
