January 12, 201015 yr Got an email from the dariusmusic.com today asking if I wanted to stay signed in to their mailing list. Did anyone else get one? Sue Thanks. I don't bother to check my mail that often but I will today.
January 12, 201015 yr I'm just technology resistant. Most of my friends know to phone me if they want an answer within a reasonable time frame. Snail mail has more chance of getting a response, because I have to physically lift that off the hall floor.
January 12, 201015 yr Author I suppose that I've got used to it. Most of the people I know use email rather than writing.
January 12, 201015 yr My son wants me to set up Skype -he's got a hope! Do it's great. I video talk to Stuart I can move the camera or take the laptop round the house so he can see what I have done. I watched him open Christmas presents....it's a wonderful invention....and FREE
January 12, 201015 yr I'll put it on my to do list then. Darius must like twitter. There's a tweet for today. Maybe he can persuaded to blog again too. Edited January 12, 201015 yr by Baytree
January 12, 201015 yr Author Optimist. Spam, you'll have to get me started on skype. I haven't got a webcam though.
January 12, 201015 yr I think I got mine for about £15. It's either a web cam with microphone or a headset with microphone....web cam is better so you can videocam
January 12, 201015 yr Author I have this aversion to being photographed. It's been with me all my life. I used to get asked to model but just couldn't stand the thought. Edited to say I no longer get asked but that wont be a surprise to any of you who know me now. Edited January 12, 201015 yr by megham
January 12, 201015 yr You don't have to have a webcam to use skype. You can either just use voice through a microphone (my laptop has a built in one) or type like you do on msn
January 13, 201015 yr not it doesn't, you could just use msn or google talk etc the whole idea of skype is to speak to each other like a phone...but FREE or see each other whilst talking
January 13, 201015 yr I have this aversion to being photographed. It's been with me all my life. I used to get asked to model but just couldn't stand the thought. Edited to say I no longer get asked but that wont be a surprise to any of you who know me now. you'll only be talking to family and friends and they know what you look like.....so no horror there it's great to see the other person you can always switch your video picture off so you don't see yourself
January 13, 201015 yr How long do you think the old facebook page will stay open? Darius could be leaving a lot of people adrift. Not every body uses itheirs every day.
January 13, 201015 yr Author I've not even looked at it for the last couple of days. Darius' page is on the poptoopera page I think.
January 13, 201015 yr Just seen today's tweet Another good day of rehearsals - just an expression or is he trying to calm our nerves ?
January 14, 201015 yr you can always switch your video picture off so you don't see yourself or not use a webcam at all. Why the need to see each other? I have talked to people on skype just using a microphone, while they have had a webcam, so I could see (and hear) them and they could hear me. I used skype on my laptopn when on holiday in US to talk to my hubby on the house phone. It worked very well.
