Nice idea, didja maybe try it first?

Just got a call from the Green party, who was phoning from the train station to let me know about the whistle-stop tour they were beginning today. Complete with big cavernous echoes, like a real train station.
Complete with incomprehensible other echoes that confuse the message, like a real train station would.
Have you ever seen a press conference held inside a train station, do you have any idea why that might be?
Thaaaat’s right, it took me three listenings to figure out who was talking, and what they were saying.
Cute idea though. Good luck with that.
Maybe next time try it on someone who hasn’t read the script yet.

Skype: Skinless, Boneless, and yet utterly Unmovable?

I can't make Skype smaller than 1/2 my screen?

So I’m using Skype 4, and the first thing that hits me is that I can’t make the window smaller than 800×500 or so.  There’s also this weird side-panel thing (highlighted in pink above) that you can’t turn off.  Make me want to minimize Skype as soon as I open it, just because it’s so humongous.

It’s like, garish, y’know?

I should maybe I could find some downloadable skins, but there don’t appear to be any.

Very strange.  Am I missing something?  Dunno.

I can post this without it:

 

A)&n=
bsp;   
Spewing gibberish where there should be content.

B)&n=
bsp;    
Spewing multitudinous barf where there should be a
simple “Link It” block of like three things.

 

Hopedy hope.
