And it starts badly for TokBox

I've set up my account to start testing TokBox, but my immediate impressions aren't good. The site and product looks good. Lots of good ideas on there and it was easy to sign up. My complaint is that I can't seem to record sound. The webcam works, and the settings are pointed at the right mic, but no sound on the recorded videos. I know the mic is set up properly as it works fine on both Skype and the video recording program that came with it.

Guess I'll have to have a play and see what happens, but not a very impressive start.

Kit

I think everything is pretty much sorted with the TOR and schedule. A little tweaking left, but not much.

The client has provided me with the equipment that I've asked for - 2 webcams and a computer to use as a test server. I should be able to get the computer driven back to my house from the uni this week, so I can start testing the various 'self-hosted' solutions that I've been looking at. I've already started looking at hosted services (things like Skype and Tokbox) that won't be any part of my final solution, but are relevant to my research.

Finally I feel like things are moving...

Tor and Scheduling

OK, I've re-done my TOR and my scheduling, as per the instructions from the module lecturer, so hopefully that's that more or less done with. I still need to go into the next project surgury for my group to run it all by him again.

Now that that's out of the way I should hopefully be able to press on with my research and testing and make up some of the delay that I've incurred in the last couple of weeks. I've arranged with my client to collect a test server machine and a couple of webcams later on this week. I should also (hopefully) be picking up the sponsorship letter that the uni is asking for.
