It showed that one typo can become a funny theme.

Sifting through 24 hours of recorded live podcast is time-consuming, but there will be some excerpts posted on VUC and on Disrupt *This*!

Voipathon(g) brought together over 500 people from America, Algeria, China, Australia, New Zealand, Scotland, England, France, Germany, Croatia, Switzerland, Bermuda, Arab Emirates, Czech Republic and a bunch of other places, probably.

The VoIP component got to hear some rare Allison Smith (@VoiceGal, not the singer) and discussed aspects of VoIP, telephony and motorcycles as usual.

More geeky VoIP stuff - tying two bridges together

Experimenting gave us results on three interesting softphones: Blink (AG Projects), Bria and Eyebeam from Counterpath. I've used the commercial version of Eyebeam for thousands of hours on my conferences with perfect stability on Windows XP. During the Voipathon, I had two conference servers bridged for over ten hours straight with no problem. When the connection broke, it wasn't Eyebeam that crashed, but Vemotion, and when this happened, I lost the entire local recording as well.

It's important (for us geeks) to understand the bridge between ZipDX and Talkshoe. Talkshoe is near Pittsburg, PA. ZipDX is around San José or Palo Alto. The bridge that stayed up for ten hours was from San José to Bordeaux, Bordeaux to Pittsburg and the return leg, Pittsburg to Bordeaux, Bordeaux to San josé.

During another part of the Voipathon, we bridged two Talkshoe shows. Michael, host of World Mikel, connected to Talkshoe from Detroit. I connected from Bordeaux. I was connected to Talkshoe twice, once for each show. People in the two shows were able to converse normally, from all over the world, bridged together from France. The unusual thing about this bridge was that it was done on my three year-old Macbook running Blink and connected to the same DSL connection I used for the Voipathon via wifi.

After 24 hours, of which I slept about three, I won't be ready to do this again for another year or three, but it was an amazing, worthwhile experience that proves you can do alot with a bit of perseverance.
