Tip for Using Skype with GoToMeeting

I had a call with clients today via Go To Meeting and Skype in which I was unable to enter the Access Code for the conference call. GoToMeeting kept inaccurately recognizing the code I was typing in. After about 10 minutes of re-entering the access, I was finally able to get in. The trick? Enter the code very slowly, with a couple of seconds in between each number. Since GoToMeeting figures out what you are typing based on the tones for each number, there must be some problem with the way skype transmits the tones.

Welcome

Hi all, welcome to the Cooking and Coding blog. I’ve wanted to do this blog for a long time as it combined my two non-work passions – you guessed it, cooking and coding. I have a few projects that I’ll be writing about:

  • A visual notes application written in c++ and Qt.
  • A set of online collaboration tools written mainly in Ruby and Rails.
  • My pie-in-the-sky dream of opening a restaurant. Step one, define a personal cooking style.

In addition to the three main projects, I’ll be adding anything else that looks interesting to me. So, welcome and stay tuned.
