Skype Session with Randy Tuttle

**Fardad** · 05-18-2006, 01:14 PM

I just had a video Skype session with Randy and it was one of the most valuable things a SR-newbie can ever get the pleasure of witnessing. He patiently waited as I gathered the materials needed to accompany my first proper honing session and went with me through all the laps and handling procedures right up until the hanging hair test.

As an SR-newbie myself, and after all the materials I've read, I found that I learned best when I see Randy's webcam and have my questions answered directly on the spot. I don't feel paranoid anymore about honing.

What a nice guy...

I'll second that.

Thank you. It is really interesting to do this. I hope people realize that Lynn Abrams will also help people out in the same manner ( video honing sessions ). My goal in doing this is to shorten the learning curve that most of us have gone thru.
It really is a fast and easy way to learn honing.

What an interesting thought. A video chat sounds like a great way to learn. What computer set up do you use?

I am about to have my session with Randy, and I am looking forward to it. There are some small but significant points to remember.

Skype 2.0 or grater must be installed and working with your web cam.
You have to be using Windows XP, I normally use Linux but Skype for Linux does not have video conf facilities, nor does Skype for Mac.

Other than that you are away with Skype video conf for free.

I had never used Skype before today and I am converted.

Windows XP, a webcam and a microphone. You also need to go to Skype.com and download and install their software. You may need to play with the software a bit to get the settings correct for the microphone. Skype has a good setup/debugging software module.

Randy,

Can you record these sessions for others to watch?

Does Skype work for Mac? With or without webcam?

X,

Yes Skype does work for Mac you can down load it from www.skype.com, not sure to much about versions.

But the Video Conf part is XP only
