Title: Shkype
Post by: Jace on 28 May 2009, 05:18
Alright doggs, here's the lowdown:
Skype is the internet phone.
I feel like I don't talk to enough people.
www.skype.com (http://www.skype.com)
Download it and stuff.
My name on there is kungfupants
Make it happen, lets chat.

Skype scares me a little bit, because people seem so much more likely to use voice/video chat there than on MSN, but at the same time, I wish more people used Skype than MSN, so I could just ditch MSN entirely.


Oh, yeah, I think I'm mariashasa on there.

I deleted it from my computer when somebody randomly called and talked to my mother, who got quite freaked out by the whole thing. I might reinstall it and just set it to "don't start on windows start".

And my guess is that my name is Snalin, can't remember though.

I've always been Snalin on the internet. If I ever write a book, it will be under the pseudonym Snalin. If I make a video game, I'll add an important NPC named Snalin. I'm kinda close to that guy, he's me, just on the internet, so he's instantly cooler.

If you were really worried, you wouldn't have even joined so as not to have to even face the possibility of rejection.  says the guy with no skype account.  What?  Just a coincidence! 

Seriously though?  You're a girl saying "This is how you can get in touch with me."  I suspect you'll get some Skype friends.   :wink:

I don't want to talk to any of you people. Sorry.

(I have skype, but I never remember I actually do have it until someone complains about it meebo, but this almost always happens when I'm watching a movie or getting ready for sleep. So I'm just no good at this skype thing.)
Title: Re: Shkype
Post by: SilentJ on 28 May 2009, 20:07
Skype keeps telling me to sign up for some premium package so I can pay for shit which isn't cool.  Can you chat via skype for free, but if you pay for premium you can call actual phones and whatnot?

(also I'm silentj1018 if anybody's interested)
Title: Re: Shkype
Post by: Jimmy the Squid on 29 May 2009, 02:48
The premium thing means you can call regular phones and mobiles for cheap as free and it comes off your credit card or something. If you only plan to use the internet voice chat thing rather than using it as a VOIP line then the free version should do you fine.

Please don't call me without asking first! I am signed in on skype all the time, but I may not actually be at my computer, so just send me a skypechat IM too. Also! I can skype on my iPhone, as long as I am at home or have wifi somewhere.

Or get a headset, then you won't have skype coming out of your computer speakers and there being an echo. I hate the sound of my voice when I hear it on skype, so if I hear it I tend to talk less.
Title: Re: Shkype
Post by: Lunchbox on 29 May 2009, 06:20
I know, I just calibrated my mic in Windows and it does that thing where you have to say stuff and it plays it with a half second delay right back in your ears. It's really disconcerting. I sound so silly.

Its all good, when the weekend rolls round (Friday-Sunday/monday morning) I pretty much abandon the internet and wander out into the meatlife.
Fridays are spent playing Blood Bowl, doing Kung Fu, then hanging out at the store or playing D&D.
Saturdays are spent sleeping, doing Kung Fu, then working at the store.
Sundays are spent sleeping, helping people move/going to the lake/river, video games with the flatmate.
I forget that I have a computer until like 1am monday morning.

also while on the topic of skype my terrifying dad once tried to call his son in law in the netherlands but because he did not have his reading glasses on he instead called darryl whose skype was set so that it automatically answers and starts webcam and also he was naked so i am about 90% sure darryl unintentionally showed my dad his junk.

I want to be able to video conference both my parents and my lil brother at the same time. Does Skype allow this? if not anyone have a good suggestion of a program that does? It would really help me out for when i deploy. Thanks in advance
Title: Re: Shkype

I believe video conference is 1on1 only with skype, but I'm sure there is a program that allows it, I just don't know of one.
