Voice Emotion – Makes your talks funny


As promised earlier in my forum, here comes the post about Voice Emotion.

It’s a program tha allows you to play emtions & music while you talk, for some applications there is even a recording function.

Supported are Skype, AIM / AIM Triton, Gtalk, Msn, Yahoo Messenger, QQ (there is even an English version of the client available 🙂 ), and last but not least, Windows Live Messenger.

ICQ is currently not supported, but ICQ allows sound emotions already anyway, thanks to its Push-To-Talk Xtra! 😎

Sorry that it took that long until this blog entry, but earlier versions were really horrible and music and emotions would not play properly at all and it would even crash Skype once you have opened Voice Emotions.

So, the way it works is simple. You have to first startup Voice Emotion and then run the Skype, otherwise it won’t work. The recording feature is not available for Skype, unforrtunately so you have to use a Skype Extra for this!

Anyway, you just select the file as emotion or a music file and then press on play and you and all the call participants will hear what you played! That’s already all about it! It works pretty much like a rudimentary music player! 🙂

Enjoy!

Force Feedback Wheel & Monster Truck Madness 2


Now that they are cheaper, I decided to get one of those Force Feedback Wheels and I got a Logitech Formula Force EX (photo: Logitech) and it’s really weird good and wicked! 🙂

The best thing is the fact that it even works for Monster Truck Madness 1 & 2! And for the 2 there is even real Force Feedback support! 🙂 It’s so much fun when you rumble and shake through the mountains, stonese and mud and dirt! It’s wicked! And it’s amazing it supports Force Feedback noticing its age! 🙂

by the way:
I search for other Monster Truck Madness 2 owners that might be interested in an internet match, if so, please email me!! Thanks in adavance! =)

But I am very disappointed that Outrun 2006 does not support Force Feedback! 🙁

ICQ Toolbar in German!

They did it! They translated the ICQ Toolbar into German! 🙂

It can be downloaded from here. They also opened a German ICQ Toolbar Board where they write in very broken German (which proves that they do not know German very good at all! 😀 ) that you can ask questions about it in English:

“
Willkommen zum die ICQ Toolbar Forum!
Hier können Sie ihrer Eindruck und fragen lassen an das neuen Toolbar bekannt geben.

Bitte versuchen ihren fragen auf Englisch ausdrücken.

Vielen Dank!
Die ICQ Team“

In English:

“Welcome to the ICQ Toolbar forum!
Here you can ask questions and leave your opinion about the new Toolbar.

Please try to keep your questions in English.

Thank you very much!
The ICQ Team“

Fix for Australian daylight saving time 2006 update problem!

Since I always delete the install information of Windows Updates and Hotfixs (since it’s wasting space and why should I want to uninstall them anyway?), I got a problem to install the update KB913670 since it requires to uninstall the previous 912475 update. But since me and many of other users do not have this uninstallation info anymore, you have just…lost! After days of searching, I luckily found a solution on Will’s Blog here which offers a download of the missing installtion information files and explains how to use it, thank you a lot! 🙂
Now, after a week, I finally have all updates installed! =)

And yes, I am speaking about Windows XP X64 here so it works not only in Windows XP Professional! 🙂

ICQ Phone description


Since the last time I spoke about ICQ Phone, the xtraz info page was not available, and since it doesn’t display in English on all computers, I am happy to present the English description page =)

Also check the differences between ICQPhone rates (all rates are in US Dollar!) and SkypeOut (all rates are in Euro!)

Another Undocumented ICQ Error Number

A bit over a year ago I reported already an
Undocumented ICQ Error Number called 1001 now here we go with another one: 1004:

1004 means that somebody blocked ICQ from doing anything filetransfer related, including re-directed filetransfer.if both users use ICQ 5 the file transfer will _usually_ always work since it redirects it through a server if direct connection is not possible. only in very _rare_ cases, people block even ICQ’s ability to re-direct a filetransfer.
Since this is really very rare, it’s an undocumented error number.
