It's true that my client commented on the number of windows that opened and how she had to sift through them. Next time, I'll ask her to make sure she actually looked at them all.

My guinea pig test so far:

client...hear but no see, I could both hear and see

dcp...could hear me but not see me, I could both hear and see

erin...could both hear and see me, I could see but not hear her

This is a head scratcher.

D says Skype has a tech page. For the record, looks like I need to get a new microphone.

As if we didn't already know it, Erin rocks like a rocking horse. Once she employed a Guitar Hero mic, we ended up Skyping for 45 minutes! It was a riot, and so helpful.

Thanks so much Erin!

It was fun! Now I want to skype with ALL the buffistas!

And now I have a Guitar Hero mic dangling like a...dangling thing from my high-tech wire holder (aka, a potato chip bag holder clipped to a scarf on my bulletin board, which holds all my not-in-use-right-now wires.)

I am rockin' like Dokken.

I am rockin' like Dokken.

And we know not to mess with Dokken

Now that Skype has been mastered, I'm on to the next project...moving some movie files off my computer and on to dvd.

I now have imovie and idvd, which I'm given to understand will accomplish this, but the process seems to be taking roughly one DAY per file.

Is this normal, or am I doing something wrong?

Okay, y'all probably know this, but I didn't:

iPhone does have a caps-lock function. [link]

Facebook etiquette question: Facebook is suggesting I "friend" a couple of celebrities, I guess because of the mutual friends thing. But are you really supposed to offer to friend people you don't know either in meatspace or electronically? This is just Facebook trying get everyone to friend everyone else for marketing purposes right?

Not sure it's a technology question, but if the celebrity doesn't want you as a friend, they don't have to accept the offer.

I don't think "supposed to" comes into it. Different people play by different rules.

Typo, different people have different rules on FB--some friend everyone they've ever met once--you go out at night, meet a friend of a friend and are like "awesome, I'll add you on FB!" Or may have never met their friend's sister, but have heard about her and commented after her, and voila! Friends! Others only have actual close friends. ...Personally, I wouldn't friend a celebrity I didn't actually know, because I figure that's what a fan page is for, but...

javachik, I didn't know that, but now I'm so confused, because I apparnetly already had capslock on, but swear it hasn't been working...hmmmm.

Yeah, I don`t friend celebs I don`t know in meatspace (well, colin excepted probably) but that`s just an arrogance thing on my part. The celebs I know are fine with it and friend everybody.
 
Marketing doesn`t come into it, other than social media`s regular methodologies. It really is just the common friends thing.
