Producing a Quiz Show from Multiple Locations?
Bloke in a box asks: "One of the pubs I help manage is putting on a quiz show. The landlady's two sisters also run pubs, so we have decided to do this quiz for charity (for the Tsunami disaster). At the moment I have: three pubs, three webcams, two laptops, a desktop, three microphones, three sets of 512kb broadband, three big screens, three projectors and one willing quizmaster. I'm aware of various remote admin software which will aid with this, but I'm wondering if there is conferencing software that might be a better fit for this, since I'd need the ability to control the communications between the pubs (like when questions need to be repeated, and so forth)." What other pieces of software would you recommend for such a production?
fp. thats all.
Wikipedia and google can come in handy to resolve duch disputes as whether or not Spock is 100% vulcan or 50% vulcan, 50% human.
Thanks to the gracious giving, many charities have received so much, they are no longer guaranteeing that donations will go to tsunami relief. I have some doubts to whether a cash donation would be useful now. In the long run, our money should be spent on a tsunami warning system for the Indian Ocean (I know infrastructure issues may limit its usefulness, but you gotta start somewhere). Does anyone know how I might donate towards that cause?
On the quiz thing, might this run afoul of local ordinances? In the US we have these networked quiz thingys everywhere. Perhaps lobbying those Corporations to participate in a national/global fundraiser quiz might be the way to go. Again, local government shakedowns might get in the way.
Being a nerd is fun and all, but the pub quiz game will be just as fun if you do it with cue cards and microphones.
