Skype on the go

My brother lives in France and suggested that I get Skype connected to avoid long distance calls.

I decided to try out a USB Skype device that would allow me to use my existing house phones and not be tied to the computer. For a few extra dollars I got an upgraded version that does call forwarding to my cell phone.

Now this is cool!! My brother calls me from France on Skype, if I am not home to answer the call, it is call forwarded to my cell phone!

This is pretty cool technology and I am happy that I did not buy a dedicated Skype phone.

p.s. Only problem is that my brother wants to call for technical support for his Computer! Oh well, nothing is perfect...

About Me

Thanks for stopping by. My name is Jim Bonnie and I have been writing software for over 20 years. After building financial data systems for Reuters for nearly 18 years I have started doing contract work and am excited about technology and currently focus on Microsoft solutions. DotNetNuke has helped provide a good introduction to ASP.NET web application development, and I am now starting to branch out into other areas. Data Access techniques and SubSonic is something that I am looking into now. This has helped me get an invitation to speak at Las Vegas at DNN Open Force 07. it was a great time. And I am looking forward to OpenForce08, where I wil be presenting on TDD for DNN.

 

Reading the codebetter blogs and attending a nothing but .net training class with JP Boodhoo helped spark my interest in ALT.NET. I attended the first conference in Austin Texas, and it was amazing to see Scott Guthrie introduce the ASP.NET MVC framework.
