UK Diary: Wednesday – Humpday – Lunch With Skype
by Tom Foremski on July 15, 2009 at 1:46 pm
It’s Wednesday and all we have on the Traveling Geeks schedule today is lunch with Skype then we get the rest of the day off. Phew!
That’s a welcome break after our hit-the-ground-running start to our trip since Sunday.
Even better, lunch with Skype is in our own hotel.
I wander down into the basement dinning room of the Malmaison hotel and sit next to Sky. Already, he has accumulated several of our laptops and wireless comms dongles, and is trying to figure out some of our connection problems.
I pay particular attention as he attempts to debug Susan Bratton’s dongle because I have the same connection problem.
Renne Blodgett says that top executives from Skype were scheduled to join us but had to rush off at last notice for a board meeting. I wonder what’s brewing.
Renne Blodgett has an interview between fellow TGer Robert Scoble and Skype’s top blogger Peter Parkes.
