Personal Telepresence - The Original

[YeOldeTechy]

My Technical Blog has all the links to our 16 year old "Personal Telepresence" concept (http://yeoldetechy.blogspot.com/2008/05/personal-telepresence-original.html).

LOL, LOL!

Lawrence Livermore....

I worked at Rocky Flats (http://www.lm.doe.gov/land/sites/co/rocky_flats/rocky.htm) in Colorado for years - Nuclear Waste Coordinator, and Transportation Supervisor (like you - DOE)

Too bad they couldn't get the bandwidth needed back in 92' to make Telepresence fly back then....

GREAT VIDEO!

Are you still in the field of communications?

Yup still in the field. Still trying new things. Blogging for example where this technology can be shown / explained to the average person using video, audio, links, diagrams and words.

Rocky Flats, how interesting....do you need lights at your house? We don't...I still glow ;)

What I cut from this video was the initial demo of "desktop videoconferencing" which was the first of it's kind, the Cameo from CLI. The Cameo worked on a Mac and a month or so before we took the units to Sacramento for filming, the CLI folks (David Sauerhaft and crew...gee, I hope he does not mind) diverted the video over ethernet (which I believe was the first time desktop video was used over ethernet). This is funny: The folks at LLNL who knew we were testing this blamed us for every ill that the network experienced, when in fact we only used about 2% of the total BW...not enuf to cause any problems.

Anyway...during the filming, they had our two Mac's set up side by side with the video going over an ethernet connection....and they were playing tic-tac-toe and working on a doecument (which again, I believe was the first time interactive data was used in desktop videoconferencing).

It was a great day....Paul and Phil are still radio DJ's in the Sacramento area...they did the entire segment without writing a single word down.

Yeah, I can thank good old Rocky Flats for this roller coaster I just rode - All good now!

Hyperthyroid, Graves Disease diagnosed last year, treated last September with guess what? 16mCi Radioactive Iodine-131 LOL, LOL! T3 over 2,000!

Now, Hypothyroid and daily 200 mcg Synthroid but back at my fighting weight of 260 - 270...

I have to laugh because I guess I saw it coming (took a couple whole-body neutron doses over the years) but that good old "superman attitude" always thought it was "those other" guys! hahaha! Money must've blurred my vision - again! LOL

Feel free to post whatever, and as many links, blogs, etc. as you wish. That's what the forum is here for.

Can you believe the BW numbers now for true telepresence? It's come a long way, the hard way!

[YeOldeTechy]

Wow....200 of synthroid is a lot. I have been hypo all my life, 100 per day now down to 50 for some strange reason. I know very well how the thyroid reacts (and sometimes for no reason misbehaves), so if you have any ?'s feel free to ask....

What telepresence means now is excessive $$ along with the BW.....;)

Yeah, since going hypo 6 months ago, they started me at 50, then 100, then 150 and now 200 - Last check last month - TSH at 7+. The good thing is my pituitary is woking LOL

Feel a lot better now though - talk about going from one extreme to another! In all phases of health!

I've been a Ham Radio Operator since I was 12.... been around communications (and motorcycles) all my life

I really am getting a kick out what you co-developed (telepresence) years ago (was reading your Blog)
