I am on a bit of a Skype roll at the moment. My girlfriend is finally starting to see the attraction of it as one of her best friends has moved to the US and so she is on Skype a lot right now chattering away for hours as girlfriends are prone to do (I’m sure a lot of male GAS readers will relate to this). So I am using the situation to persuade her to start moving a majority of our phone calling over to Skype. It really is amazing how much money you can save in the long term by switching to Skype and you can get a normal phone number for non-Skypers to call you on too.
A program which I have been playing around with for the past couple of days is AudioID for Skype. This suits me perfectly because I am a lazy slob at heart. My idea of exercise is lifting a TV remote control or a pizza box so this free piece of software which allows me to pre-screen my Skype calls is a God-send. Now I only have to lift my butt off the bed for people I deem worthy!

Priced at $98,000, the Magni Gyro M-22 Voyager may look like a standard helicopter, but it’s not. The M-22 is actually a gyroplane, and unlike a helicopter, it is pushed forward by a single rotor located behind the pilot. As the gyroplane takes off, the top rotor starts spinning by itself, acting like a wing, […]
