Okay, so I downloaded Skype, but I don't know what to do with it. Am I supposed to dial a number and all of you are already on it?
Hugh, what is your skype name/handle? We will add you to our contacts and then we can connect. Mine is dear_booze.

Sharing this information doesn't create any kind of security threat. But if you are uncomfortable sharing your skype name here, send me a DM with your info. Other board members who are regular skypers will share their info here or via DM as well.

Looking forward to drinking with you!
DRINK!

I'll stay logged in on Skype today during my drinking session, in case someone herds all the cats. I drink fast, though, so there's no telling how long I'll be conscious.
Don't worry. We're in no hurry.

Not sure if I know how it works. I heard it ringing earlier today, but I didn't get to it in time. (Also, I did not have Skype up when the call came in, but it rang anyway. Not sure if I like that.) When I checked it there was a chat message there. There were also chat messages there from someone else that I did not receive a notification for.

That was Badfellow and Me. You may have also seen other people who we invited to join. Skype is a fucked up thing that takes some getting used to.

If you get to a call late you can usually see in the chat list if there is an ongoing call. Just jump right in. I do it all the time.

I logged on to the skype thing and only saw some assholes listed there. Dear Booze, Oettinger, Hugh and other motherfuckers. So I switched to online videos about monster trucks. Fuck Skype.

There are notifications on my skype, but when I click on them it doesn't take me anywhere. I'm not sure about skype etiquette, but I'm not going to try to return message. If I'm on I'll respond immediately, if not, later when I'm on.

I haven't started drinking yet today. I might go on skpe later.

This thing is starting to feel like an obligation.

So I think I've figured out some of the problem. In the hidden icons section of this laptop, Skype was running. So maybe that makes people think that I'm online at the time. But I have two laptops, this one that is online, and another one that is disconnected from the internet that I write on. I'm usually over on the disconnected laptop. So if you think I'm online, I'm really not. maybe that's why I have all these notifications on Skype. So I'm going to try to figure out how to stop Skype from telling everyone that I'm online. I don't want everyone to think I'm an aloof prick, but I'm not paying attention to this internet laptop.
