I love SKYPE… Skype is great for teleconferences. You can have three or four person chats, and it works really well… If you have people around the corner or around the world. The sound quality drops out at times, but overall it is pretty good with how things work. I love the ability to put a headset on, and have a meeting. It is not as good as being in the same room, but it is close. Without the headset you tend to have issues when people type, but apart from that it works well.

In the SMH comes a story in Ireland that a Nursing Home Has opened its own pub. The Pub opens at 11am and closes at 9pm, has apparently increased the number of visitors to the nursing home. Good idea I think provided that the amount of alcohol is restricted to stop bar room brawls… But apart from that I can see it being expanded…
