Skype in the Guyanese Interior
Back in May I circulated this BBC news report among a few interested friends. It concerns Guyanese adventurer Duane de Freitas, who lives in the Guyanese interior and uses a satellite internet connection to communicate with the outside world. As Skype was one of the tools de Freitas mentioned using, one of Skype’s bloggers tracked [...]

Odeo: Open for business
All the explosions and galeforce winds we’ve been having around here lately seem to have distracted me from the fact that Odeo, which I said in CFR #26 wasn’t yet open to the general public, went live several days ago–check it out.

iTunes update – still no sign of CFR. . .
Seems new podcasts have been added to iTunes, because I just did a search in the podcast directory for the word “caribbean”, and for the first time got a result. The result, however, was Dead Pirates’ Society, a podcast of far more recent vintage than CFR. Can anyone blame me for feeling a bit just [...]
