First ALL Internet Program

Video Chat Example Starting tomorrow night (Thursday, August 2, 2007), Adam and I will be broadcasting our show for one commercial free hour right here at HelpMeRick.com from 9:30-10:30pm.

We plan to do the show at that time every Thursday night barring holiday's  No radio stations, no middle-men, no commercials, just you and us. In today's article, I'm going to try and lay out how this will work and how YOU can still interact with us to get your questions answered.

First off, when you come to our site on Thursday evenings at 9:30pm (and probably earlier), you will see our video chat window on the left side of our page. If you see just a still picture of Adam and I, that means we aren't live yet, but if you see us moving around and hear us talking, then we are live and ready to go. Follow these steps to get in on the live action:

  1. You must be using a high speed connection in order for the chat to work right.
  2. Click ONE time on the picture of us to open the chat in its own window (so you can continue to surf the Internet while listening/watching the action)
  3. Type your name or nickname into the chat box and click "Start Chat"
  4. Now sit back, relax, and either type a question to us OR if you want to sign up for an account at Stickam (its free), you can use your own web cam so that we can hear and see you.
  5. You can also still email us through the site and we will be answering more questions from email than ever before. 

That's it!

Please know that since this will be a public Internet channel, there may be hoodlums trying to cause some havoc from time-to-time, but we have our hand on the eject button at all times and will dismiss/ban any trouble makers from the room. We hope that we will indeed draw new listerners/visitors to the site and show, but very much want to continue our long tradition of helping the every day computer user. 

Our plan is to post the audio of the chat and possibly even the video of the session after the show so you can listen to it as many times as you want, any time you want.

How can you use the audio ANY time

  • Visit the site and click the play button from any computer, any time.
  • Download the audio file and save it to your computer so you can listen any time you want.
  • Burn that audio file to a CD to take with you in the car or play on your home stereo
  • Copy the audio file to an MP3 player.

We can answer more specific questions during the show on Thrusday nights.

Also, you never know when Adam or I will be sitting at our desks and decide to turn on the video chat. Now that we have the technology, the possibility of us being "on the air" will be more frequent.

Dial Up customer

Submitted by Smart Computer User on August 2, 2007 - 6:59am.

High speed is not available in our part of the western slope. However, I had been a participant as a online student in a chat room assignment with the University of Northern Colorado. If I remember correctly this worked well. The one objection I had was it seem like the chat got 'hogged' by a couple of participants. My question is what 'could not work right' as a dial up participant of your web program? Thanks! Millie
