Migrating away from Skype!

That’s it. I’m sick of Skype. The client is buggy, I always have problems with it, and the sound quality is absolutely horrible when talking to people faraway, like, say, in the US.

So I’ve started using a different VoIP solution from The Gizmo Project which uses - instead of Skype’s proprietary protocols - a freely-available and documented SIP protocol that can not only operate with the Gizmo client, but also with any other client that uses the same protocol, such as Google Talk.

And the quality is much better. And it’s prettier than Skype. And it sounds So. Much. Better.
