Just came back from a conference in Norway. Cold, friends. But very sunny and friendly.
Met up with millions of good poeple again, and now we all need Skype, the free (as in beer) phone solution for us who have a computer and a headset. Headsets are cheap, and most laptops already have the microphone inside them, so those of you with laptops just have to put on the headphones.
Especially the folks in the expat community (read: Joc Koljonen) need you to install the application, which is available for Mac, Windows and Linux. And it is a small download.
In the making of the now-tested roleplaying scenario The Upgrade!, my gang of Jeeps held phone conferences (yes, conferencing works, too!) to add productivity.
I hope to be able to report on the conference itself real soon. The book, yes, the book: am reading it. Jiituomas and Mike Pohjola are already read. Eetu’s text is next, I guess.
**Edit**: Like this: callto://olleolleolle you can link to the Skype username on a webpage, or in an email. Clicking the link makes the browser ask what application to open this type of connection with, and after the user has selected Skype once, all links like that will work seamlessly. Neat, huh.
