First my Gmail account has been updated so I’m now using the new version but more important is that Skype have just release a beta release of the new Skype for Linux and it actually has Webcam support! As I don’t have a webcam currently in Poland this doesn’t make much difference to me (although I may buy one now) but it is good to know that Skype is listening to their users and developing Skype for Linux quickly. I hope by the time I return to London next year there will be a stable release and I can use my webcam on my desktop.

Thanks Skype. Keep up the good work and please give Joost a nudge. We want Joost on Linux (although Miro is perfect anyway)!!
