Hey, all,
Okay, I apologize. I went way the H-E-double-hockey-sticks off the deep end in my excitement over getting a Beta invite. I do not have sufficient upstream bandwidth to stream anything worth watching, and while my PC is up to the task, my mic is not. Hence, I would not be able to talk to all the fine folk who might happen upon my stream. Therefore, I am not streaming until I get more bandwidth.
However, I will post once I have the bandwidth. This is something that's hard to get in Arkansas, by-the-by. I think the fastest in this area is ATT Uverse at around 10Mbps down, 1.5Mbps up, which is just barely enough to stream 480p.
Tests are currently giving me my best streaming results at 250kbps up, which my desktop can chew up and spit out in little pieces no problem, but over which my connection (DSL) can handle, but the video quality is akin to watching D3 via cell-phone camera recording of someone else's screen...and not an iPhone camera.
Once again, apologies. I can't resist it anymore, I'm going to go play the Beta, but I WILL stream as soon as I have bandwidth.
