Skype - Free Internet telephony that just works

Maybe I'm behind the times, but I hadn't heard about this Skype thing. Free Voice over IP program that claims to be free with no ads, which seems very 1999.

Anyway, what's interesting is that you can also use it to dial real phones, for 2 cents a minute. So you can basically make your computer your only phone, and if you can talk any of your friends, worldwide, into getting it, you can talk to them for free too.

It does conference calling, file transfer, and chat rooms too.

I just grabbed a copy of it. Need to dig out my old microphone, but I'll plug that in too. My username is tobin00, but I don't know of anyone using this. If any of you already use it or download it, let me know, I'd like to test it for quality and duplex issues.

Hunter S. Thompson commits suicide

Damn it all to hell.

I'll miss you, you ornery bastard.

I always kept a secret hope in my heart that I'd get to meet him someday, too.

WoW

I finally sold out and started playing WoW. (World of Warcraft)

And I love it. It's really fun so far.

Anyway, I joined the Uther server, cause some of my friends are on there.

If any of you are WoW addicts (and I know that several of you are), and you play on Uther, let me know. I'm like 20 levels below anyone I know, so if you're low level and want to party up or something, that'd be a blast.
