    Re: The Sitting Hall

    Nice seeing you in the sitting-hall last night Chris!

    It's getting a little quiet in there again.

      Re: The Sitting Hall

      well, there were 3 of us in there for a while this morning :!:

      i'm continuing to sign up for the 6:30 and 10:30 am est times -- but yes, the scheduler is, again, looking a bit thin

      ah yes -- the ebb and flow of the hall, the breath of the hall

      blah, blah, blah :roll:

        Good to see you as well I tried sitting this morning in the Hall at 0530, but my little guys were on the rampage even before the sun had risen. Probably some of that morning-zen radar we were talking about. :shock: I'll try to stop by tonight.

        I noticed the schedule was looking a little empty, but thought that might just be me.

            Thank you, Don, and everybody else sitting,
            when I just sat I was invisible :-D Oovoo today refused to work for me,

              Re: The Sitting Hall

              yeah, oovoo seems to have inherited some of the habits of mebeam -- it disconnects frequently, i.e., 4x in one hour sit

              can i change my vote?

              just kidding :lol:

                There are no hanging chads in the Sitting Hall election.

                I've been having sporadic issues with oovoo, but most of them I can attribute to my DSL connection. Living amongst the moo-moos is good for peace of mind, but bad for internet matters.

                  I don't have, to my knowledge, a problem with it. Roky, you probably see more than me... have I been disappearing and reappearing?

                    i never know whether some one disappeared or just came to the end of their sit and signed off -- and you should be seeing yourself in oovoo, together with me, same view as mine -- you know when you're disconnected, cause you disappear on your browser, and get a message that you're disconnected -- it doesn't automatically reconnect, you have to do it manually -- and since that would "interrupt" the sit, i usually just let it go

                    i've also found that if i turn off my webcam, and just use the avatar with my name, it doesn't disconnect, is way more stable

                      Couldn't get on to Zen Hall or Meeting Hall tonight. Been trying since 21:25 Atlantic. I was having a router problem earlier, though.
                      Message comes up "There was a problem connecting to the video call. Click the button and try again."
                      Still no luck.

                        Hi Don,
                        I just tried now and was able to get into both. I also was asked early this morning to update my version of flash, and Java was done not too long ago, though what your bumping into sounds like a network issue. Could try updating those, a reboot and try again? If it persist could be a routing issue from you to the oovoo.com servers, Though were in similar necks of the woods im on a different ISP (Im guessing your with Bell Aliant, im on Barret Xplorenet wifi). Sorry no real sound solutions just suggestions Im around for a bit if i can help!

                          Hello Shohei,
                          It was back up around noon today. Not because of anything I tried, though. Must've been Eastlink, I guess.

                            Don and Shoei;

                            I didn't have any problem yesterday but, this morning I could not connect until after I sat and tried again. Then I realized that I had been using another tab in Firefox that appeared to have been interfering with the connection. The problem seems to have been within my own ram. This may be what you are experiencing as well?
