Hello Skypers, We've just activated DAILY SCAN FOR MENTIONS OF SKYPE ON THE NET. Several times a day the list of activities is updated. New items are added to the top of the list. It's a good way to keep up with skype without having to do anything. As you can see above, there are 20 current items.

These events are totally separate events. You sign up for one or the other.
The events are workshops -- people come when they can and stay as long as they can/want. I suggest you sign up for one of the events and come at 10:00 a.m. -- stay as long as you want to stay.

Hi Les,
Thanks for offering to repeat the skype tutorias. I've registered for Friday. I assume that's 10am Fri NZ time? I'm hoping to have others present in the office. Would it be practical for them to activlely participate? If so, would they need to register? We would only be using my computer. I could pass them my headset if they wanted to talk.

Yes, we use a third-party recording application that produces great sound quality.
