My Qik Story.

Couple of days back i was going to attend my good friend's sister's wedding but before that out of nowhere he asked me " you have to stream the ceremony on the internet - live" ,I thought " does he wants it as a fancy or..." but before I can cross question him,he told me about her eldest sister who was away in USA and wasn't able to come due to some unforeseen circumstances.And she really wants to see the ceremony.
                 "Hmmm, Live streaming ,minimal delay,Quality concerns", jargon just started to pop  in my head amidst this jargonotic chaos many ideas popped in like Skype (firstly) , Google Video Chat, VLC Camera Stream but then i remembered about a service named QIK  which helps to stream directly live from a number of Smart phones ( and im a proud owner of an E5 yeye) to the world .

<<<<<<WARNING ,GEEK STUFF. MAY INDUCE NAUSEA >>>>>> :P
So , the tests began before couple of hours from the main event .Initial tests were just BS (thanks to BSNL 3g) but after tinkering under the hood i was able to get a reliable stream at 176X144 res with audio.
<<<<<</GEEK STUFF ENDS>>>>>>>>>

So,the event began and i started streaming from my Nokia E5 initial streams were good and after getting feedback from US i was confident that everything will go fine, and it did :-).

I am just not happy that i streamed something via my cell to the world but ,i made some one smile because of it ,was what made me happy .

You can still chk out the videos at http://www.qik.com/nihitj .

Qik Rocks .


Peace out.
