Somehow I’m not the ‘tag’ type, though I could possibly become one, if somebody were to go and tag all my bookmarks properly for me. With thousands of bookmarks, that is too much of a chore! So I still work with categories, which can be highly irritating when trying to find a well-nested […]

     After posting my previous article on wifi phones, I decided that it’s time to finally do something about my computer’s voip softphone. I currently use Skype, whose temporary “free calling to any phone” is officially over. Having switched to Ubuntu, I realize that I really should ween myself off the proprietary Skype which […]
