The creator of the popular PHP scripting language, Rasmus Lerdorf, has been assimilated into the Skype collective:

I have also called landlines in the US from Paris and Christine called my hotel landline in Paris using Skype. Overall the quality of all these calls were amazing. Every now and then there would be a slight drop or when 2 or 3 people all spoke at once it would occasionally garble things, but it is definitely the coolest piece of software I have used in a while. Although I may have to invest in a headset for it. You get some strange looks when you sit there talking to your laptop.

I conducted a radio show interview with Rasmus back in 2000 (show #6, June 30, 2000) when we were getting the Script School radio show started. He was a very informative and gracious guest and it was a pleasure having him on. I should roll that interview into a podcast with some reflective commentary because it would be interesting to revisit that interview five years later.

Did this post make you go hmm?
