Term has come up with some
ingenous new ways of wasting our time. Last night he introduced me to
Gphone a
SpeakFreely compatible
internet phone that uses GSM compression (ie the compression used in
many cellular phones). A word of caution: you need a decent
microphone, or it will be extremely difficult for the other person
to understand you.
Also, Term introduced us to the exciting world of
Tetrinet, and online
multiplayer tetris game. If you're using Linux, you should check out
GTetrinet,
a GTK+-based Linux client. There's a list of Tetrinet servers
available here,
but we've been having so much fun playing that I put up a permanent
server at tetrinet.pablotron.org. You can monitor our game
rankings over on my tetrinet page.
