Skype Degrading, Trying Gizmo
In: Software| Technology
22 May 2007I have been using Skype as a landline pretty exclusively for the last 6 months, but the quality of the service has been degrading rapidly. Today, I called Samantha from the office and she said it sounded like I was calling from inside a tin can.
So, on a recommendation from a co-worker, I am giving [...]

In: Technology
22 May 2007Last night, I spent over an hour on the phone with three very friendly and helpful T-Mobile tech support representatives, and guess what? The troublesome Samsung T619 I slammed a couple of weeks ago is now able to send and receive text messages.

My biggest complaint: it won’t send text messages. That’s [...]
Trillian: Goodbye, and thanks for all the fish
10 May 2007I have finally given up on Trillian releasing a new version anytime before the next ice age, and switched to the the messenger client formerly known as GAIM, now known as Pidgin.
Solid, functional, and showing signs that it is in active development. Unlike Trillian, which is slowly becoming the Duke Nukem Forever of messenger clients.
I’m [...]
The client visit this week (and don’t expect too many details) was to MySpace. It is interesting to get an inside perspective on their performance challenges, as well as their beyond unique infrastructure.
I am bagged, and off to write up a document for another client.
