Facebook and Skype

So I spent several hours yesterday updating my Facebook profile to provide a more complete Peep experience for myself and anyone else who happens to drop by. (If you're not yet my Facebook friend, add me...)

I added an application called All About Me in which I answer many questions including "What's your favourite colour?" and "Have you ever had a one night stand?" Then I started updating my regular profile, you know, "Activities", "Favourite Movies" etc. an hour later I was still listing my music preferences.

As I was doing this, a friend in New York tried to Skype me. I answered her call and plugged in my headphone-mic thingie, but it wasn't working. She could hear me, but I couldn't hear her. Being the obsessive I am, I tinkered around with this thing for, like 15 minutes, refusing to give up and just call her on a land line. Finally I did give up, and we talked a bit on the phone but I'd spent so much time trying to get Skype to work that she had to go and pick up her daughter from day camp.

In the meantime, somehow I'd managed to close Facebook without saving my newly updated exhaustive list of music preferences. Ah well. Back to the drawing board. This morning, when the kid woke up at 6am demanding apple juice before going back to sleep, I realized why things were screwed up: I'd forgotten that I'd added the webcam with microphone to my tech arsenal, which had replaced the headphone on the computer. Basically I was using the wrong device. Thanks to E. for the 6am wake up and helping me solve my tech issue of the day!

Got a busy day today, but will update later in the afternoon after, among other things, I've dropped in at the SpyTech store and collected some gear...
