Yahoo! Messenger: mysailing
has logged out. (11/3/01 at 10:07 AM)
mysailing: vance, you want to try my little job today?
vance_stevens: what's that?
mysailing: it is the web cam manager. I just took picutures with it, not know
whether others can see it too.
mysailing: do you have real player?
vance_stevens: yes of course
mysailing: where should i send them to you?
vance_stevens: I see, ok, send it to v.stevens@mli.ac.ae
mysailing: ok, wait.
vance_stevens: 
mysailing: i need to find another mail function to send since hotmail can
only send file under 1000kb
vance_stevens: It's ok to send big files to me at that
address
mysailing: but i can not send
mysailing: sorry, i can not use hotmail to send them. it is too big to
sen
vance_stevens: hmmm, let's see, if there's file sharing here
...
vance_stevens: Pull down Friend, at the bottom, send file
mysailing: for yahoo mail too, it has file size limitation
vance_stevens: You mean, through yahoo messenger? Ok, how about
ICQ, have that?
mysailing: no
vance_stevens: 
vance_stevens: know any ftp sites?
mysailing: sorry. i do not know.
vance_stevens: There are a couple of things you can do.
mysailing: i should input zip file ,
vance_stevens: That's one possibility
vance_stevens: Another is can get icq, at http://www.mirabilis.com
vance_stevens: another is start a free website and then upload your file to
it
vance_stevens: then give me the url and I can download it
mysailing: ok, let me try
vance_stevens: A good one for that purpose is http://www.prohosting.com because it allows you to
put files with almost any extension on your site
vance_stevens: 
mysailing: if you icq, i need to download icq?
vance_stevens: yeah, you do
vance_stevens: It's a good program though. A lot of webheads are
on it.
vance_stevens: It keeps records of your messages, nice
program
mysailing: it is big ? i mean to download it?
vance_stevens: 5 megabytes
mysailing: it is too big, i need to download in midnight so that it would be
faster
vance_stevens: Poor Sue ... how about opening a prohosting
account? And using that for file storage that others can access?
vance_stevens: If they are rm files, you could use Geocities as
well
vance_stevens: or Tripod etc etc
mysailing: it is not free web, it seems
vance_stevens: hmmm, it's free for me, but maybe because I got in
early. Try yahoo-geocities
vance_stevens: http://www.geocities.com should redirect you
vance_stevens: http://geocities.yahoo.com/home/
<-- here's the correct
address
vance_stevens: still free and you can use your yahoo id
mysailing: ok, i am signing up now
vance_stevens: 
mysailing: how to upload a file?
vance_stevens: two ways, http or ftp.
If not familiar with ftp then use the File Manager. Can you find
that?
mysailing: yeah
vance_stevens: ok, so you find the
folder in your file manager you want to upload to, then import a file
(something like that) and browse for it on your computer. You can upload more
than one at a time.
mysailing: hope it can work well
vance_stevens: have you figured it
out? Simple once you see the way.
vance_stevens: Do you need me to walk you through it?
mysailing: http://geocities.yahoo.com/filemanager
, try it , i am not sure whether it is
ok
vance_stevens: I can't go to your
area unless you give me your password (don't do that!)
vance_stevens: You have to give me the url. That would be something like (let me see
...)
vance_stevens: http://www.geocities.com/mysailing/myvideo.rm
???
mysailing: it is better for me to think about it later. it does not work well
now
vance_stevens: Did you upload the
files to your space?
mysailing: yes, i use file manager to do it, but it does not show in
hompage
vance_stevens: no there is no
homepage yet. Just the files are there. What is the name of one of the
files?
mysailing: Movie6.avi
vance_stevens: ok, let me try to get
it ...
vance_stevens: I think I'm getting it
vance_stevens: 50% there ... what are the other file names?
mysailing: how can you do that?
vance_stevens: http://us.share.geocities.com/mysailing/Movie6.avi
mysailing: the others are nothing, i just did them by mistakes
mysailing: i mean how can you know the file names?
vance_stevens: I see a portion of
your face. I may have to get this from cache, or put the url in my windows
media
vance_stevens: You told me it was Movie6.avi (the capital M is
significant)
vance_stevens: I tried http://www.geocities/com/mysailing/Movie6.avi
and was redirected to the correct
url
mysailing: it is very big
mysailing: can you see it now?
vance_stevens: Now I plugged it into
Windows Media Player, and yes, I see it. Nice
mysailing: it is terrible faces. i just tried how to work on the
camera.
vance_stevens: Yeah, you changed your
hair too. Good!!
vance_stevens: It's fun to communicate like this. How did you record the
video?
mysailing: thanks.
vance_stevens: Anyone in webheads can
now get your video by the way
mysailing: it is the camera manager's function
vance_stevens: You've put it on the
web
mysailing: i need to delete it since it is too terrible.
vance_stevens: I can link it from
your Webheads homepage
vance_stevens: Don't do that !!???
vance_stevens: It's great!!!!
mysailing: i would take bertter photoes later
vance_stevens: Ok, up to
you
vance_stevens: When you have put one up you like, just send me the file
name.
mysailing: ok, i see
vance_stevens:
mysailing: at least there is a little progress today too. thanks for your
help
vance_stevens: Yes, now you know how.
That's great.
mysailing: i am running to gym now, see you tomorrow
vance_stevens: ok, have a good
workout

page?
mysailing: ok, it is fine. it is still there, i remember. I
vance_stevens: our yahoo chat ... I can leave off the exact url if you
want to hide your video
vance_stevens: or do you want me to use the url that shows your video
file, if it's still there?

scared of my faces

vance_stevens: Felix got me to go out and buy a web cam
vance_stevens: I guess we must have influenced you ...
mysailing: yeah!
vance_stevens: we learn from each other
mysailing: i know web camera, never know that how it does work, after
visited yours, i started to collect information of it.
vance_stevens: hey, can you maybe send an email to webheads letting us
know what information you collected?
vance_stevens: Like if you have any urls ... that would help others
??
mysailing: i have no any urls actually. I asked the computer stuffs in
our company. They know a lot about this thing. Mostly i got information from
them.
mysailing: he told me the price of web cam, function. then i went out to
buy
vance_stevens: oh, ok ..
vance_stevens: yeah, I skipped most of that, just went out to buy
