For the most part, I considered working with VoIP and Skype a real pleasure. My first experience with Skype was while I was studying abroad in China. I was there for three months and I longed for the opportunity to see the faces of my loved ones. I hooked up my Hi Def Logitech web cam and like magic, I was talking with my parents! The next time I used Skype was when my cousin was deployed to Iraq. He has a terrible internet connection, a dial-up line or maybe worse, so the call often cuts out after just a minute or so. But even being able to see his face and to know he is ok is relief enough.
The only time I have ever had trouble using Skype and VoIP was for this project and trying to record the call through Jing. I started my call before I started recording and I worked like usual, but once I started recording the call the video and sound would chatter. When I went to stop the recording, it froze the whole computer. After four attempts to record the conversation, I finally got a workable recording. The conversation recording was saved and ready for upload to the web hosting site for Jing. After waiting for the 265MB file to upload, it told me there was an error and could not upload. I tried this again two more times but the same result after each attempt. I looked up troubleshooting online but that was of no help. So I hope that by the time you review this blog, I was able to get the video fully uploaded. And if not, I'm sorry!
