broadcasting my computer usage & VNC extensions

[Amir M. <ami...@gm...>]

Hi,

I plan to broadcast my computer usage soon using VNC, perhaps for an hour d=
aily.

There would be an associated chat room for discussion during the broadcasts=
.

If you would like to participate in this experiment by watching me and
chatting with other viewers and/or me, please let me know of a good
time.

BTW, you might find this discussion interesting:

Also, some VNC extensions that would be helpful to get vnccasts.com
working better:

* efficient broadcasting (and not just on LANs)
* broadcast delays (e.g., 5 seconds) to allow people to recover from
accidentally broadcasting something private
* the ability to turn the broadcast off and on easily without
disconnecting clients
* the ability to count the number of connected clients
* the ability to have some clients with full control while others
view-only (w/o a password)
* a flash vnc viewer
* the ability to broadcast only certain elements of the screen (e.g.,
you might want to omit your email client say so that you can read
email without having to turn the broadcast off and on)
* some feedback on how much bandwidth is being used for broadcasting/viewin=
g
* some feedback on how many viewers you can support with reasonable
speed/bandwidth
