Google Talk conference

[B16Enk]

For those of us that have Gmail accounts and have also installed Gtalk (if you haven't why not!!), here is a simple method of getting 'Conference' calling working:

Open up a copy of google talk on all computers with which you wish to conference. After one copy is opened make a new shortcut for google talk but at the end of it add /nomutex. If you installed it to the default folder then your shortcut should read "C:\Program Files\Google\Google Talk\googletalk.exe" /nomutex. Open 2 instances of the software on every user's computer. After this start a chain: User 1 should connect on one instance to user 2. User 2 will connect on his second instance to user 3. User 3 will connect using his second instance back to user 1. With this chain everyone is connected to everyone.

Another thing, Gtalk has evolved yet again, now you can leave voice messages for other Gtalk contacts if they are offline, and you can now transfer files using the Gtalk application.

Very handy if you want to collaborate on a skin/mission or whatever

If you haven't got a gmail account and would like to give it a try let me know, I still have some invites left!
