Comments on: I have found cyberspace http://www.headrambles.com/2007/04/15/i-have-found-cyberspace/ Rambles around the head of an Irish Grandad Mon, 01 Dec 2008 22:45:45 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.5 By: Grandad http://www.headrambles.com/2007/04/15/i-have-found-cyberspace/#comment-10524 Grandad Tue, 17 Apr 2007 12:00:48 +0000 http://www.headrambles.com/2007/04/15/i-have-found-cyberspace/#comment-10524 Thanks, Henry. In fact I have no problems with Skype, and like Jajah, the calls are free [two hours onto the US - boy!! What would <em>that</em> cost on a landline??!!]. If Dario reads this he might be interested though? Thanks, Henry.

With Jajah, calls to other people on Jajah are free. But even if you pay it's verry cheap. The difference betwen Jajah and Skype is that on the former you use your own landline or cellphone and do not talk thru the PC. www.jajah.com You might like Jajah better than Skype.

Thanks Nancy. I had a quick read-up before the show so I knew a little. But it certainly wasn't on the news over here! And as someone else said "You have warmed the cockles of my heart !!!" Aw! Thanks Nancy.

When they spoke of Don Imus and Reverend Sharpton,etc. no one could expect you to know about these happenings that are so unimportant they would never make International news. When the subject turned to more general topics, you had interesting points to make. As they used to say in the Cagney, Bogart films "YOU DONE GOOD,KID !!! Grandad,

I have added the link to the main post at the bottom. @Jefferson - That was a tongue-in-cheek remark. You all made me feel very welcome. I suppose what I meant was I felt a bit strange surrounded by all those American voices! It was a <em>very</em> interesting and enlightening experience. My respect for the "ordinary" American goes up another couple of notches. ;) @Flirty - My dulcet tones can now be heard on-line. I have added the link to the main post at the bottom.

I remember the first time I talked to someone on Skype. It was for a radio show, and I was so anxious that I could barely utter a whisper. It is my job to keep people from talking over other guest on the show, but I wasn’t doing a grand job on Saturday. But, I hope to have some sort of system worked out by next week. Perhaps, I could run an electrical probe to Brian’s house, and shock him every time he doesn’t shut up. Of course, I’d have to do the same to Dr. Don. :-) I hope that we can get the audio problems worked out by next week. I spent quite a lot of time Sunday, polishing the show up. It is ready, when you get time to listen to it. I genuinely appreciate you, Dario, Dr. Don, and Brian for being on the show. I hope that you’ll join us in cyberspace again next week. Thanks Grandad.

Much as it kills me to refer to this word, but they look so gay.

I heard everything - there were a lot of monologues - but clearly you didn’t hear me. And I was just starting to like that microphone …

Not Tibbles. That really p*sses him off [and that's not a pretty sight]. Actually the thing that made me most uncomfortable was the feeling that Dario was cut out. I have this bad feeling that I would start to speak when he was talking, without realising he was there. Video? Forget it. I don't want to be seen setting fire to my microphone while trying to light my pipe. And I do feel like a Grandad. Very much so, today. Incidentally, if there is a next time, how about a bit earlier? Herself was not best pleased!! If we recorded at nine in the morning? You lot would have to get up at four, but that's your tough sh*t. And if you bring New Zealanders into it, we are going to have GREAT fun picking a time. TIDDLES!! Not Tibbles. That really p*sses him off [and that's not a pretty sight].
