Just notice Google is testing a new layout. Looks good hope they keep it and replace the current one.

Verizon DLS Problems

John Sypin — Sat, 08 Jan 2011 07:10:03 +0000

Starting to wonder when I will have a stable internet connection. Problems started the end off December a couple days of no internet but before they came it started working again all of a sudden so no one ended up coming. Now few days later its been working but random disconnects from games on XBOX Live and and IM programs keep happening. It’s not so bad on the computer but I am unable to play a a full game on XBOX without being disconnected very annoying most time happens with in seconds of the game starting. They where supposed to call today but never got a call and haven’t called them again yet since it takes hours just to get a hold of anyone. Looks like Saturday will be spent on the phone with them.

Free calls in gmail.

Google Voice lets you manage all your phone communications and seamlessly make and receive calls on any of your existing phones. But what if you don’t have your phone with you? Or what if you’re in a place with poor cell phone reception, or you’re traveling internationally and don’t want to incur expensive roaming charges? Wouldn’t it be great if you could use your computer to make or receive calls?

Starting today you can use Gmail to receive or place Google Voice calls.

To get started, check the box next to Google Chat in your list of forwarding phones and the next time someone calls your Google Voice number, Gmail will notify you of an incoming call. You can take the call or even listen in as the caller leaves a message, in a single step right from your computer.

To make a call, just click the Call phone link in Gmail and enter any number or name from your address book.

All calls made from Gmail will display your Google Voice phone number as the outbound caller ID and all international calls will use your Google Voice calling credit and are offered at the same low Google Voice rates. We took great care to make sure that our rates are as low as possible. For those of you not as familiar with international calling rates, check out our comparison table.

Finally, check out this video:

We’re rolling out this feature to U.S. based Gmail users over the next few days, so you’ll be ready to get started once “Call Phones” shows up in your chat list (you will need to install the voice and video plug-in if you haven’t already). If you’re using Google Apps for your school or business, then you won’t see it quite yet. We’re working on making this available more broadly – so stay tuned!

For more information, visit gmail.com/call.

tNet 2

John Sypin — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 05:02:37 +0000

I currently am hosting the tnet2 master server. Anyone you used to play tnet2 can go to http://www.tnet2.org and download the client. Working on a new theme for it. A few of the old players come on every know and then. Old accounts work from 2005. The wrong database got restored so newer accounts were lost just remake your account.
