This could be low internet connectivity, can you test your speed?

Best is to exit out of the room and come back in. We are also livestreaming on www.livestream.com/letstalkonline, perhaps try this at least for the sound.

Comment by Ya-Li Wu on April 20, 2012 at 10:03pm: I am new user. I clicked the link and watched few minutes of the real-time video around 3:40pm, but suddenly my screen showed "offline". In addition, I could not read slides clearly.

Looking forward to seeing you there.

Comment by David Dodgson on April 15, 2012 at 4:12pm: We have a holiday in Turkey that weekend and I will be away (which is why I didn't submit a proposal).

I'll try to catch a session or two while on the road if I can (they have wireless on the coach) :)
