Wow, long time no post! Ah well, the holidays are over now, time to get back to business.

Just a quick post for all you Skype users out there – version 1.1.0.61 was released yesterday and includes a number of fixes/changes, including a slicker looking UI. Apparently it also includes a new version of the API, but none of the documentation has been released for that yet. Get it here!

Just came across this article at Wired that talks about wildlife and the Tsunami that rocked Sri Lanka. The waves apparently washed floodwaters two miles inland at Sri Lanka’s biggest wildlife reserve, yet no animals died:

“No elephants are dead, not even a dead hare or rabbit,” said H.D. Ratnayake, deputy director of Sri Lanka’s Wildlife Department. “I think animals can sense disaster. They have a sixth sense. They know when things are happening.”

Is that so? Maybe it’s not that animals have a sixth sense, but that humans are stupid. You’d never find a rabbit or an elephant standing around watching the water engulf them as they record it all on tape. Nor would you find a leopard heading into the water to retrieve his favorite material possession.

Okay so maybe I am being a little harsh, but seriously!

Happy New Year and all the best to you in the coming dozen months!
