What is CuSeeMe?

VIDEO CONFERENCING

GET A CAM FOR YOU COMPUTER!!

                        An inexpensive PC videocam, such as the $89 Connectix QuickCam.

 

I first got CuSeeMe from my best friend SRV, and I was what you would call,a lurker: no cam, scum of the earth, lots more annoying names......hehehe.

Well being a lurker was not good enough for me and everyone thought I was a guy, why? I used a nick, C-Girl, Oh well. So in April 16, 1998 I got a cam. OH BOY...did the fun start. When I was a Lurker I met a guy named Ah-Clem.

I must say that he was the first and only guy that was really nice to me as a lurker and we became friends. I met Ah-Clem in San Francisco at the airport and women..he looks so good in person. Eat your hearts out, hehehe. We would send E-mail to each other. I told him I had my cam and what ref did he hang at.

That turned out to be the El Ref. D and Pixie are the owners of that ref. I did surf around to other refs a little but El Ref I felt was my home.  El Ref's IP is elref.tzo.com, conference number 411.  El Ref is so popular that at times I couldn't get in so I started hanging in Nix Pix.

Pix took a liking to me and asked me to be a ref monitor there so at times you can find me in Nix Pix too. Nix Pix IP is 206.168.37.25. Great bunch of guys hang out there.

Then Subhuman (whom I met in El Ref), started a ref and well the truth be told I asked him if I could be a ref monitor there. And to my surprise he said yes. 90% of the time when I'm online you will find me in his Ref, called "Diosa".  Diosa means Goddess and there are a lot of them in Diosa.   Diosa's IP is diosa.tzo.com conference ID 4767.  Diosa is a Free ref with a 10 min time limit.

But if you would like to be a member, you can stay in the ref unlimited time.  Go see his web page at http://www.diosa-ref.com/.  It has all the information on joining and the rules you need and should abide by and some wonderful pictures of the Ref Monitors (mine too) along with some of the regulars that visit Diosa.   Diosa has some of the best looking women and the most too in CuSeeMe.  99% of all the Ref Monitors are all women.  So what are you waiting for. GO JOIN.    Sorry Subhuman its a plug but I love all the people that come into Diosa and have met some wonderful friends.  Am I boring you yet? LOL  Here is what I like to say  when Men come into the Ref and ask what the *D* means behind are names: *D* means RM in Diosa.....Diosa means goddess....where the Women Rule and the Men drool.

 

Here are some rules of the Diosa Ref:

DIOSA RULES (and why)
Listen to your *D* refmons and do what they ask-(to keep it fun for all)
Please respect all people on the reflector-(see above)
Be 18 or older-(anyone under 18 in a vid can result in us being shutdown)
You must show live vid and face, when coming on Diosa-(that's how we verify age, after they are verified..they can show whatever they want.)
Vid cappers will be banned and turned in to other refs-(bad news)
lurkers are not permitted-(we may allow them on our other refs, but not here)
Do not use audio-(this takes away from the vids)
Do not private chat unless permission is granted in public(if we all geeked, the public chat would die, and people would go elsewhere. geeking is for ref mons to regulate the ref.)
Do not DC or constantly request a DC-(this is not polite)
Do not direct, harass, ask, beg or demand people(especially females) to show themselves-(this can be considered harassment)
Do not show any children on cam-(this can shut us down)
Above All ...Be Nice and Have Fun

Also:

We ask that you refrain from using the "geek"/ "private chat" while in the ref. This function is mainly for RefMon (*D*) use. It takes away from the chat in the ref and creates lulls in the conversation. And we all know that when there is a lull we get bored!!

NOTE: Please, if you want to get CU-SeeMe, do not purchase  the Pro4.   Most reflectors (REFs) do not support it and basically the program sucks. Download CU3.1..2 Build 7. 

(The download for Cu3.1.2 use to be here but Whitepines contacted me and told me to remove it.  Sorry that I can't help you.  YOU will need to go to there web page and download it.  Again sorry)

 

HOW TO ADD REF'S TO YOUR PHONE BOOK

In you phone book look at the tool bar.  It says, Speed Dial, New Card, Manual Dial, Directory, Call Options, Test.  Click on New Card.  You will come to a screen and just go down and hit Next.  Here is where you will enter the Name of the Ref  that you want to enter.  Then go down to the IP Address and enter the address of the ref.  If the Ref has a cid (conference ID number) Hit Advance.  Here you will enter the conference id of the ref.  When done, hit ok then it will bring you back to the other screen and hit done.  NOW it is in your phone book. SET your rates for that ref.

HOW TO SET YOUR RATES

When you set up CU you need your rates to  be set at 14 send/28 recieve (and this you must do for all refs  that are in your phone book or that you add to your phone book, if not some refs will not let you enter until you have changed your rates).  You ask " What the hell do you mean?" When you right click on a ref in your Phonebook you will go to properties. It will open a bunch of  tabs that says Network, there you will see how you can change your rates. When you have finished setting your rates go down on that page and change your minutes, set both to 1.  NOW check you Codec and Quality.

YOU CODEC AND QUALITY

Go to the the Configuration Tab,  at the bottom of that page set your quality to 20%, this will let US see your vid better in a ref.  Also on the Configuration page is where your codec is located, Keep it on Whitepines  MJPEG.   Do not play with the others please unless you don't want anyone to see your video.   Easy.  Play around and get to know your program.  I hope this helps you all.
