Thing 22 Communication

I use Skype at home to keep in touch with friends and family who live overseas and interstate. It's nice to be able to see people who live far away over the webcam...and you do have the option of just listening to their voices and turning off the image if you're having a bad hair day.

Setting up Skype at home was not too difficult as my computer has an inbuilt webcam and microphone. I recently had an academic ask me if he could borrow a webcam to use with his computer at work. I rang Nenad and IT but VU doesn't supply them. It could be useful to buy one for each campus library so that we could borrow them if we need to use them for work.

Google Talk
Added the gadget for Google Talk to my blog and chatted with a couple of colleagues
