Diary of a Techie

I checked out skypecast service on the internet (it was free). This service allows skype users to conference each other. What is great about skypecast as compared to the skype conference button, is that skypecast allows up to a hundred participants, while skype conference only allows a  maximum of 10 (if using intel duo core).

Further, the skypecast facility allows the host/moderator to mute participants and control an otherwise unruly discussion. In our initial test of skypecast, we were honored to have been joined in by no less than Mr David Mirsky (worst of the web) and co-writer of popular carton series Futurama.

I also learned how to add more users to the conference via tips from ValuedCatholic, who refused to give his real name, and used a voice synthesizer to disguise his true voice…thanks!
