Just because I can

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Last night, and then over lunch today, I installed the Skype Answering Machine on my laptop. Not because I have any real interest in starting to do any sort of audio, or podcasting, but just because I could. So if you have always wanted to tell me what you think of my blog, but never took the time to write it, feel free to Skype me at mikemcbride1968 and leave a message anytime I have the laptop running. I’ll warn you though, don’t be surprised if the .wav file ends up being distributed in one fashion or another. 🙂

    I did get the Red Hat 8.0 iso’s downlaoded (all 5 of them) and 4 of the 5 have been burnt to CD, so I should probably get an attempt at installing on the new machine in this weekend. Tentatively, this is scheduled for tomorrow night, after dinner at my parent’s house. The weekend has…

    Yes, it’s election day. Yes, that is probably all you will hear about all day and all night, unless, like me, you have planned a wonderful evening of novel reading, software installation, or other non-media consumption activities. Just remember, no matter what happens today, tonight, or into the next few days, you will still be…
