Some things in life are free!


Last week i had to travel to see clients + do some training in the evening with my US counterparts via live meeting. Options were (a) stay at home and do training from home office and get up the next day at 4am to get to client (b) get to hotel near client and do training from there with a 7am start. So it was option B the family favoured!
So how do i watch training + connect to the audio bridge. Easy. Connect using free Internet at hotel, connect over Internet to live meeting server. Audio? I know - use Sony Skype mouse which also acts as phone/speakerphone. Dial freephone access number from skype and open up speakerphone. Hey presto - good audio and video capabilities and the best thing? I didn't get stitched for a 2hr phone call at hotel rates or for dialing a freephone number :) When the technology works it's great!
