Life as a Physicist

A group of us are attempting to rewrite a Monte Carlo study that some internal referee’s had concerns with – as a result I’ve not had much time for anything but that, eating, sleeping, and changing diapers.

I usually don’t put stuff up here about things like Skype (unless in some other context) – but they just came out with a new version both for the Mac and Windows. Get it. The claim is they worked on call quality. Wow. Paula has a Mac, and I’m on Windows. We used to always get echo’s and Paula’s voice sounded pretty much like she was living in a tin can. The new version has totally killed the echo’s and she sounds like she might even be human.

Unfortunately, it would seem that both ends of the conversation have to upgrade to get the full benefits. At any rate, nice job Skype!
