unKIT for a good Cause * Pink.a.licious*

Thanks to early detection, breast cancer in America is on the decline.  

With our Think Pink unKIT, we would like to take this opportunity to talk about this very important topic.

Think of the women in your life that you love and admire.  Please encourage them to take make an appointment for a mammogram.  We challenge you not only to do this for yourself, but ask 5 of your favorite ladies about scheduling their appointments as well.  Early detection saves lives.

Thank you.

(weather permitting)
unKit Live!

To make sure that you are able to fully enjoy the broadcast and chat with other unKITters, please check out the FAQ’s for uStream tips.
4.Why is my broadcast/stream choppy?
Potential Causes

Insufficient Internet bandwidth: It is possible that the upload speed of your Internet connection is too slow.
Check your internet connection at www.speedtest.net
We recommend an upload speed minimum of 320 Kbps. 400 Kbps is preferred.
Insufficient CPU: Ensure additional programs are not running in the background or accessing the Internet (ie Itunes, Skype, Napster, etc). Your stream can become choppy if your CPU usage is so high that it causes your computer to slow down. This can affect both the broadcaster stream quality and viewer stream quality.
Troubleshooting

Buffering: You can tell your users to increase the buffering settings on the broadcast. Users can adjust the buffering in the Menu button of the video player.
Close all other programs: By closing other programs running on your computer (Itunes, Skype, AIM), you will free up CPU and help your computer run faster.
5. Why do I get error messages when I try to enter a chat room or start broadcasting?
Potential Causes

Firewall Issues: It may be possible that you are behind a firewall that has blocked off the necessary ports that allow Ustream to connect.
Flash: It may be possible that you do not have the most updated version of Flash or your Flash has been corrupted
Troubleshooting

Open Firewalls: You want to check whether the standard ports for video streaming and chat are blocked. They are port number 1935 for video streaming and port number 6667 for IRC chat. Here is information on how to open the ports:

Getting Techy with It

Y’all are probably tired of hearing me say that I am crafty, not techy. But I thought, maybe not everyone out that is so techy either. Maybe I am in good company.

unKIT Live!

Thanks to all who popped in to watch tonight.  We had a nice group of ladies.  I apologize for not being able to chat with everyone.   I hope you enjoyed talking about mini albums.  They are really great little quick projects.  I really appreciate the immediate gratification that comes with creating one.  and they make such wonderful gifts.

The little cheerleading mini album is by Creative Imaginations (one of the best manufacturers!) in their Bare Elements line.   It retails for $1.99!  You cannot beat that.  and it is a perfect size for your scrap pieces of paper.

Here are those fabulous Tonic Scissors that I used to cut the vinyl record album for the mini album.

This is the craft drill that is great for making holes in the CD’s for the mini album.  It is also great with acrylic.
