Tips
| Darren | MP3 Skype Recorder for Windows allows you to record, well, skype calls. This is what I use on the odd occasion I produce TWiL – http://voipcallrecording.com/ |
| Per | Start using social media to broaden your network and interact with peers (social media meaning blogs, podcasts and maybe even Twitter) |
| Joyce | Lotus Learning widget – can access them from www.lotus.com/ldd/learnlotus; bonus tip….mobile wikis beta…www.lotus.com/ldd/mowiki.nsf |
| Stuart | Sony have just released a slimline external USB Blu-Ray recorder – the Sony BDX-S500U. Very very fast (pushing boundaries of USB2.0 actually), lightweight, powered off USB, reads and writes to single- and dual-layer CDs, DVDs and Blu-Ray disks, even does 3D Blu-Rays (assuming you have right screen technology). Pretty good value at 151GBP on Amazon UK, $218 on Amazon US). Great for watching Blu-Ray movies on the road, or for backing up your systems – 50GB disks a |
