Skype

A friend of mine finally placed a call with me over Skype. We verified that not only voice was working, but video as well. We also shared each other's desktops to make sure that worked. He is on a new fancy Windows 7 system I believe. I'm on Ubuntu Linux 10.10.

This is important to me for some reason. It reminds me of the whole passport thing. I don't know why I think it is important. I just think it is important to get my stuff together. Fortunately, it is not that big a deal. Neither costs that much. A passport is going to cost me around $200 and the Skype experience is more like $20. I've spent more on shelves in the last couple weeks.

There are worse things to blow some money on.
