I think that after many years of working on web sites, development and so on, I’m fairly used to lots of scams like people adding you on msn just to hawk their wares, video chat and so on.

But yesterday I had some Indian guy on Skype add me, and then start pestering me. He was well pushy, asking me what I was doing, several times, then started on asking me about ‘procedures’. I eventually got what he was trying to say, in his bad english, that he wanted to work on code for me, for outsourcing.

It was a bit out of the blue to say the least, and a bit inappropriate for Skype. He got blocked, but I dare say more will pop up.

Having used Skype for some time now, but only really recently started using it for video calls and phone calls, I received a phone call from an old friend tonight. We worked together in Atlanta and I hadn’t heard from him a long time.

Good to hear from him, and of course Skype let us talk fairly clearly given he was in the US and I’m in the UK. Thanks Skype!
