Wow... I just had my first Skype IP-based conversation with Jake Stuart. If you haven't gotten Skype yet and you have a laptop with microphone or a headset, I recommend trying it out. The sound is pretty great and it's completely free. Plus if you use your headphones with a laptop, you get the conversation in stereo which creates this very bizarre effect of a disembodied voice of whomever you're speaking with. Very cool. Now I just need Tim and Ari to get set up with Skype in Uganda.
i know my irish co-worker uses it, but haven't tried it myself yet. maybe for our next call, bro...?

Posted by: mrscrumley at June 7, 2005 09:25 AMSkype is just the start... VoIP in general is gonna kill off a lot of comms providers. We already have free calls between three international offices :) The VoIP servers are 100% GPL therefore free - we only pay for the hardware phones, and you can use free software as an alternative.
PS Also congrats on the house. I still remember the day I got the keys to our first house, walked in, and started ripping apart the bathroom!

My whole office has skype and it rules - what's your skpye name? I'm benjamin1573.
My brother Matt uses skype to call us from Uganda. It usually works pretty well. It's about as reliable as any other sort of communication from him to us. It's pretty ridiculously expensive for him to call us any other way.
