A friend of mine just recommended using Skype which is a voice over IP product.
Had a go and I must say it works very well, I have used other products which are similar and run across the internet and are very choppy but this has fantastic quality.
Plus they have hooked up with telecommunications companies to provide access to the normal phone network which means from your computer you can call a normal telephone number in the world for just over a penny a minute.
Now the team have been on at me for some time to put this on my blog. Its been sitting on my desk for a couple of months collecting dust.
I thought it would make a good christmas present.
Dont forget to press its tummy…
Met up with some old friends Richard Jeffery and Tracy McMillan over the weekend, haven’t seen them for about 3 years. They were both looking well and it was as though we had only seen each other recently, not as long as 3 years.
They did have an announcement “they have got engaged”. Good luck is what I say.
Here is a picture from the pub, not too good a photo though…
Ok put my five Coolermaster Cool Drive 3 enclosures on ebay as they are now cluttering the bedroom. If your interested in buying these or any other bits I have in the gallery under “bits for sale” please drop me a line.
Not sure how these will go as they again are a specialised item. Selling at a good price though £3.00 each as these retail at about £18.00 a go.
Yogesh left the Ivis Group last Friday and had a bit of a doo.. unfortunately I couldnt make it as it seemed that everyone was leaving companies last Friday and I had to attend another bash. Yogesh unfortunately couldnt hire David Bailey for his photos but got the next best person with a camera phone.
If you can see them here are the photos (2 of the better ones) ….
Now there were a few people missing, so here are some pictures from the archives….
Hover over the photos to reveil the captions (if your browser supports it), plus may take a little time to download if your on a dial up (high quality thumbnails)
I also heard today that my friend Yogesh is leaving the Ivis Group in Ealing, to pursue a career at Teletext. It seems it is the climate for change.
Any way I wish him luck in his new job.
I heard yesterday that Nathan had handed his notice in at Standard Life Healthcare down there in Guildford. I cant quite believe it actually as I thought he was a lifer !!! Plus whats even more funny, he is going to join Anite Financials in Slough and I have done work for Anite in the past.
Any way I wish him well, but that does leave me to wonder who is going to support the EPS product down there at Standard Life, as most of the original team has now left.
At last the auction is over and I am amazed how much money I have made, 450 pounds. Its really wierd what people will pay when they are bidding as a lot of the prices were nearly as much as buying new.
Any way just have to box it up and ship it out now.
