Messageoke

Messageoke is a small program written by a friend of mine which allows me to send Live messages to the Tv's while I'm doing a show. At the beginning of my show while I am playing music before I start Karaoke I have a small slide show welcoming people and how fill in the request slips etc. Then I have a list of scoring numbers (1 to 10) to rate singers with funny pictures (cartoon characters holding up score cards). Other messages are "don't give up your day job" "Karaoke Virgin" "legend" "great song" etc. These are all small preset Animated gifs which are acuated by one mouse click. I can also Type messages in an area of the program (singers name, Substitute the real lyrics, for funny ones)
I will post a screen shot when I get time. This program works flawlessley with Hoster, even with the earlier versions when Hoster was running at 50%+ processor use. Now that Hoster barely runs at 2% (good on you MTU, makes my laptop runs a whole lot cooler).
This program makes my show a lot more interesting (for host and customers) but you have to know which people to have fun with.
I think MTU has something like this in the pipeline but I couldn't wait.
Cheers
