Maxim: i think it's easier to cancel a hotel reservation than it 
is to try to get it on september. anyway, after 31st you can still 
register for the devcon but you're on your own with the hotel reservations 
(we can still try to help you, but no guarantees)

i know the deadline is short but like Mario says hotels may fill 
up and then you may not be able to find a room anymore.

Hotal cancelation shouldn't be a problem. Normal in EU is until same 
day 18:00 it's OK to cancel without a no-show fee.

Mario I arrive on the 29th. I already register, but I have not received 
confirmation.

We'll be coming into Rome, then up to Milan, and staying an extra 
day. I'm sure my wife would enjoy a tour, so sign us up.

we will be leaving 2/Oct/2005/19:20, is that a good day for a tour?

i think we can do a tour on oct 2nd too.

[Just sent confirmation emails to whoever has registered. Sorry for 
not doing that earlier. If you have registered and haven't get a 
confirmation (either via email or here from me directly), please 
register again.]

Mario, I will be on the walk I believe.

With my wife.

I want a job :((( ...

Mario, please sign my partner and I up as well (adding a day to our 
hotel reservation as required).

ashley, does this mean you're departing on oct 3rd rather than 2nd?

We should make a new form for date changes? At most on Tuesday we 
need to reserve the hotel's rooms...

I'll remove the hotel reservation options from the form tomorrow.

Gabriele, yes.

Hotel Virginia asked for us paying the first night in advance. I'll 
be sending PayPal requests tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

Hum, Virginia is Rome's hotel, isn't it ?

Please note, that Paypal request is sent in "Italiano" (forza Italia, 
I tutti quanti ;-) except the small text you have wrote to explain 
the request.

Yes, Rome. It's likely it will be the same for Treviglio, however 
depending on how much they ask I might just advance that myself.

I know the mail comes in italian but i haven't found any way to make 
it send them in english.

I bought plane tickets today. So now, I can't canceled ;-)

Gabriele: Didier will arrive in Milan some hours before you all come 
from Rome. No extra days in the hotel (so you too can update your 
guests db in case you don't already know)

anyone around with QuickTime installed? (not sure if VLC is ok too)

err.. probably yes.

but I'm on dialup so I'm not sure I'll be very useful.

Yep, QT and VLC.

hmm. dialup is probably too slow. just want to check out how streaming 
goes with about the same equipment as last year (Qt Broadcaster on 
MacOS X Tiger, DSS on linux server)

Well, should we give it a quick try ?

rtsp://motoko.rebol.it/teststream.sdp

I try...

can you see anything?

No, I see nothing. It said that it does not found the require software 
on quicktime server (??!)

i guess it requires QT 7

trying...

but... let me try to switch codecs.

Something with codec ? Damned it's not WM!

switched to MPEG4

yes!

Amiga poster on the right wall :-)

what's funny is that i can't see it here now with QT 7! lol

Boring movie. Nothing moves :-(

you should have seen me :) and you should hear the keystrokes ;)

Quality is 2/10 and I have no sound

H.264 was much better. but it requires QT 7. which does not seem 
to like mpeg4.

let me try a different codec.

QT 7 is not yet available for PC !!

VLC: I got some green stuff !

i have QT 7 on pc... so :)

H.263 now. any better?
