Skype and Crossloop


Recently me and a friend of mine have been using the Skype service(VOIP) and testing to see what our capabilities were. We finally tried Crossloop(Remote access) with Skype. They both passed our initial test. Skype didn't seem to skip a beat or drop any calls. Crossloop worked well though my friend did notice some lag when I was opening some applications but wasn't a major deal. When we switched access I didn't notice any lag on my end. I thought this would be a nice combination to be able to communicate with the user on the other end in addition to chat, cell or landline(remember the telephone?). Anyway I just thought I'd share the experience.

Re:Re:Re: NewEgg

Well I ended up purchasing a hard drive enclosure from NewEgg yesterday. It should be here in the next couple of days. I hate having my drive exposed to the elements but it'll have to wait. In the mean time I'm working on my typing skills using SpongeBob Squarepants Typing software. It was originally meant for my son but he's a little young for it. I decided to give it a try and it's been fun. In fact I'm typing this out as practice using more than two fingers as my wife would tease me about.
Another thing I've been looking into is VOip which is short for Voice Over Internet Protocal . I took a look at the Skype website. I thought would work out when I use Crossloop with someone to free up my hands rather than having one hand holding a phone. Of course I'd have to get a headset too.
Well that's all for now. How's my typing so far? Any difference? It's actually a bit slower than my hunt and peck method I've been use to for all these years but I suppose speed will come with more practice. Thanks for coming by.
