An alternative to skype

Hey guys!

Me, Allya and Cerasi were discussing last night the possibility of a monthly face-to-face meeting through a video chat service. Unfortunately, because skype is lamesies and you have to pay for group chat, I have brought up the idea of using Google chat. G-talk is free. Below is a link on how to download google chat and how to use the group chat function. I will open a separate post in the edit section so we can share our gmail accounts or set up ones just for the service. Links are below, lovelies:

  2. I'm willing to either get up earlyish or stay up lateish to accommodate Ada. My schedule kind of fluctuates, so pick a week and I'll let you guys know.

  3. I know, I know. I'm a bit late. I agree with this! We've just yet to put it to the test.

    I can pretty much only do nights my time (mornings your time!) -- so maybe it won't work out?

    I'm pretty sure in March I'll have a lot more time in Tak on the weekends, so I can probably do mornings and/or evenings, but I haven't heard back from the director yet. sigh.
