Ahh yes, this sounded interesting, i dont know why i was speaking so much nonsense though. In any event, yeah just a suggestion, it was very laggy in the chatroom and i dont think I was the one lagging it . But in any case, might be somthing to look into and did you figure out that soundboard yet? .

Lag was probably due to using my wife's notebook (single core) rather than my usual audio machine... working on getting it back up and running now. Keep your fingers crossed

Ah ok, yeah wifi will do it, i was just on webcam with distant relatives earlier this evening and audio was a little touchy, although my pc is a dual core it is wireless. How did you kill the audio pc anyways . Its ok because later after podcast recording i killed the lappy when i tried to install daemon tools (was trying to install mac osx in a vm) and i had to restore from backup.

IN any case, single core chipset would cause lag, im assuming the laptop was wireless unless you deliberately used a wired connection.

That's correct -- you can watch us, but not the other way around. (Although other services, like Stickam, allow those features.)
