Millie popped into the Warm Room. She wanted to know who was going to set up in the observatory. I told her I didn't know for sure. But Bill might.
Tried logging into the Night Skies Network. Didn't work. I assumed they had shut down the account for inactivity. I requested a new account. Oops. That just closed a door. I should have started this process last night...
4:24 PM. Installed Google Voice and Video. Wondered about testing a Hangout. It didn't seem to work initially.
4:51. I restarted the laptop computer. Cold iron! Learned that broadcasting required a linked YouTube account. The confirmation code via SMS did not work; land line phone did. Started the browser first. Then the AVerMedia grabber. It worked! Woo hoo!
But the video was backwards or mirror reversed—perhaps it was meant to be that way. Looking from the inside... Inside the Matrix.
5:21 PM. Did a test with Katrina. I invited her.
She could hear things at my end.
5:28 PM. She could hear the crickets! Ha ha. My microphone was on. Didn't even know the Dell had a mic... Must be an audio-ready laptop, with the stereo speakers. Tested the Chat feature inside Google+ but she didn't see what I was typing. We chatted via Facebook in the meantime. Looked in the YouTube environment...
6:18 PM. She switched browsers. It appeared to work in Firefox on her Mac.
So, overall, it looked like it was working.
It was time to get some dinner...
