I’ve started using some software called Skype – it’s free internet, telephone software which enables you to make free phone calls over the internet to other Skype users or really low-cost calls to land-lines around the world.

If you’re already a Skype user, you can call me using this button or by adding my username – stuart.maxwell – to your contacts list.

I’ve also updated the DebandStu website – www.debandstu.co.nz – using portal software called Mambo. Both websites are now on my new server which is running Debian linux on an AMD 2500XP processor with 512MB RAM.

More news to follow soon….
