Title: Eee Zor Today
Post by: Eeems on October 26, 2010, 12:11:47 pm
The first airing of Eee Zor (http://omniurl.tk/4750) is today at 4:00 PM MST.
Join Eeems as he reports on some events and projects in the community as well as get some pro-tips on how to make an OS from the master of KnightOS development himself SirCmpwn!
If you can't make it for the actual showing you can always watch later as it is recorded for your viewing pleasure.

EDIT: Bumped up to 3:00 PM MST due to SirCmpwn having an unforeseen meeting.

I edited the image in the first post as the news policies only allows a maximum width of 550 pixels. (so the portal looks fine in 1024x768)

I'm glad you're recording it.  4:00 MST happens to be one of the only times today that I'm not able to watch. :P
Anyway, sounds neat!  I'm looking forward to watching the recording.

...so is this gonna be a youtube video or something?

I think that this is cool though -- not sure If I can watch it while it's on air though...  Maybe after it's recorded I will though :D

If you read the topic you will find all you need to know about the show :)
DJ: ah sorry about that, didn't know, and it looked fine on my screen x.x

Shit.
How long is the show going to be?
Could I jump in at 5, maybe?  Or 3?
I have a meeting with my congressman to discuss how much of an idiot he is his opinion on the Student Nondiscrimination Act.

Ah ok, well we are airing at 3 then, so 15 minutes from this post.

Due to more and more technical difficulties, we are airing at 5:30 PM (MST).
Title: Re: Eee Zor Today
Post by: Eeems on October 26, 2010, 07:28:20 pm
This may not happen because SirCmpwn isn't here D:
Well this might have to be planned for another time due to how things worked out. Lots of technical problems :(

I hope you guys get all the kinks worked out... I'm interested in watching.

Post by: Eeems on October 26, 2010, 09:22:32 pm
Yeah me too x.x
Title: Re: Eee Zor Today
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on October 26, 2010, 10:41:40 pm
Darn there's definitively some sort of curse on this project X.x

I am getting worried it might be best to wait until SirCmpwn gets out of hi school, his parents home and get an appartment. X.x
Title: Re: Eee Zor Today
Post by: Eeems on October 26, 2010, 10:47:19 pm
Well it should work, but for some reason his computer was giving issues x.x
Title: Re: Eee Zor Today
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on October 26, 2010, 11:05:22 pm
Oh. But I know his parents are rather hectic sometimes. In many case we talk together and suddently he shuts down Gtalk for about 15 minutes because his parents come to watch. It would kinda suck if you started Eee Zor and then he suddently had to go. X.x

Ah ok, yeah that would suck x.x

:( this keeps getting delayed :( I hope it happens sometime

Yeah i know :/

Maybe announce it at the very last minute like BrandonW did with his livestreams before? You might take some people by surprise, but if it's not done too early, people will probably join anyway. Else, eventually fewer and fewer people will be interested. :(

Post by: Eeems on October 27, 2010, 10:56:17 am
Yeah I know. :( it would have worked if it wasn't for SirCmpwn's computer spasming on him....Well Youtube was being annoying too
Title: Re: Eee Zor Today
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on October 27, 2010, 04:08:43 pm
What computer issues in particular did cause problems? And what were the Youtube issues? I noticed it has been loading slower for a while nowadays...
Title: Re: Eee Zor Today
Post by: Eeems on October 27, 2010, 07:46:47 pm
We dont know what exactly was causing the echoing. But it kind of ruined him talking
Title: Re: Eee Zor Today
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on October 27, 2010, 11:20:31 pm
Oh ok. Hopefully you can get it fixed soon. Were you using speakers by the way? That might be why. If they're too loud the other person will hear himself through your speakers. That happens a lot on Xbox Live.

We can try it again some other time.  I can fiddle with my settings until it works.  If it doesn't work next time, I'm not entirely sure if I want to keep trying.

/me hopes it's not a hardware limitation/issue x.x

Post by: Eeems on October 28, 2010, 01:54:19 am
Yeah i dont know what it was on SirCmpwn's end. But we could always try another method if we have too. Skype's screensharing and Ustream Producer could work.
Title: Re: Eee Zor Today
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on October 28, 2010, 07:30:47 am
Well the issue with skype video conference is that there can only be two people video chatting, though, I think. I am not sure if others can connect while this happens. Is Ustream Producer some sort of program (hoping it's free) allowing such thing?
Title: Re: Eee Zor Today
Post by: Eeems on October 28, 2010, 09:08:27 am
Ustream producer will let me screen capture it and air it.
Title: Re: Eee Zor Today
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on October 28, 2010, 06:06:14 pm
AH ok it's an app required to use Ustream for live stuff?
Title: Re: Eee Zor Today
Post by: Eeems on October 28, 2010, 06:07:55 pm
No, it's there desktop one that you can use for airing content from on your computer and your desktop screen. You could also use their flash broadcasting thing, which most people do.
Title: Re: Eee Zor Today
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on October 28, 2010, 08:43:46 pm
Ah ok I see. Maybe at one point to do a test I will attempt at airing a few Starcraft games for those who don't have Starcraft so people have fun watching (me losing the game). :P
Title: Re: Eee Zor Today
Post by: Eeems on October 28, 2010, 08:57:33 pm
hmm, well it would be a little laggy to watch, and hopefully your computer can handle starcraft and ustream producer running at the same time. The best way to record games is a capture card so.
Title: Re: Eee Zor Today
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on October 28, 2010, 10:19:09 pm
Well I can easily lower the settings. My bro runs Starcraft at about 50 FPS at minimum settings in 1024x768 on his dual core and I run it maxed out at 1280x720 resolution. I just gotta reduce most stuff to minimum and maybe mess with Ustream quality a bit.

If bandwidth is an issue, then I can simply play the old Starcraft instead. :P It requires a 28.8 kbps connection as minimum requirement. :P

Ah ok :) well it probably would take a bunch of tweaking :)
