Teamspeak is a wonderful communications tool!

Unread postby Shadizar » Sun 27 Jan 2008, 22:12:56

Hello,

I rarely post on the site anymore but this forum has had a profound effect on my life.

I enjoy speaking with people of like mind, or those with different viewpoints.

Teamspeak is a wonderful tool in that regard. It is more dynamic than the forums imo. You can hear and respond to the opinions and viewpoints of various members on it.

Unfortunately new members do not seem to be drawn to it. The download for teamspeak is free and easy to get (http://www.goteamspeak.com/?page=downloads).

So, I would just like to draw attention to this wonderful feature of peakoil.com. And, I would like to TALK to a larger variety of people who are interested in this topic. You will meet optimists and doomers alike. Technicians and amateurs.

I agree. I've only gone on once or twice but it's a very cool tool. :)

The problem is, of course, that not only is economics bankrupt, but it has always been nothing more than politics in disguise... economics is a form of brain damage.

Aaron, concerning your TCP/IP request, you could always give them the finger or have a POP at them, or if you're willing to forego IP, you could RIP into them :-D

I'm thinking I'll open the shortest path first on their sorry butts, and tear em a new fire wire-hole.

I think it allows Aaron to gain full access to your pc and allows him to install a virus that will cause your freezer to overheat and cook all of your leftovers.

TCP/IP is the network protocol that is used by the Internet. It was developed by the DoD many moons ago. Geeks such as Aaron dream of developing new protocols over TCP/IP :lol:

I run team speak under linux and windows. I will admit however under linux getting the mic going has been a nightmare since I refuse to buy a head set and have a seperate usb mic and my soundcard with headphones.

Does it work ok with dialup connections or does it require better bandwidth?

When do you folks go on it? Have a set time?

I've just connected OK using dial-up. There was nobody there, but I'm assuming that voice will only take up a few kbytes. With audio, latency (i.e. the time it takes to get from the server to you or vice versa) is more important than pure bandwidth. If you have bad latency, it doesn't matter how good your bandwidth is, you'll have "jitter" in the sound.

We used to have regular meetings on PS.

Maybe it would help if we had a regular PS meeting. Every Thursday at 2200 Pacific time or whatever for an hour.

Anyone interested in scheduling meetings

I bet once a month would be sufficient.

I like TS too, but just don't want to mess with the mic on linux anymore. The IRC chat link on this site will link back to an EFNet server, usually chat going on there. I do get a kick out of listening to global accents though. :)
