Title: Skype Chat, May 15th 12 noon CDT
Post by: Rico on May 10, 2010, 05:48:02 PM
Ok, I'm setting the time for the Skype chat/call this coming weekend.  Let's shoot for Saturday (May 15th) at 12 noon, central daylight time.  So, that would be 1pm EDT and 10 am PDT.  And every other time zone person needs to do their own math!  ;)   The plan is to talk about summer movies and what we are looking forward to seeing.  I hope to chat a little about "Iron Man 2" as well - especially if I can ever find the time this week to get out and see it!   :ironman

I think they ought to impose a single time zone across the entire US. It would make things so much easier for the rest of us ;)

iPhone Skype on WiFi and a headset - Skype calls are easily managable at bath times! Admittedly, you do need to be a bit nimble with the mute button and avoid driopping the phone in the bath (not that I've ever tried this or anything...)

We aren't really going to talk the past month's films, more our thoughts on upcoming summer stuff and a few other topics.

Really just wanting to talk with my geeky friends is the main reason for any Skype chat!  :)

For those attending and who play "Star Trek: Online" (or have played it), I thought we could chat briefly about the game and recent updates to it along with our movie talk.

Sounds good. I've been on WoW for the past 2 weeks so I haven't played a ton but I always have some stuff to say about STO.

Skype works on iPhone?  I'll try to set it up and participate, if the kids cooperate.  

edit:  haha Rico you are my only Skype contact, from the Skype call way back in 2007!  Are you still using Treksf as your username?  I am Jobygoob.

Yep - that's still my Skype name.  I'll set the call up a little before noon, my time.

Glad you could make it.  Very nice to have you on again after all this time.  And enjoyed what everyone had to say and contribute.

Wouldn't you know it...my voice makes a surprise return this morning - almost.  Whereas I was Don Corleone yesterday, I am more Wheezy Benny Hill today...

Sorry, timimg was just off for me (yes, I was running a bath etc for one of the kids but no, I didn't try and iPhone in at the same time time). Maybe next time you'll get a UK voice back.
