Skype 2.0 Beta: Webcam Works in Options Test!

Another night, another postive review.

Though not able to test the full capabilities of it within an actualy skype conversation, the cloudbook's webcam works flawlessy while testing it in options for the latest release of skype 2.0 beta. Again, picture is pretty decent, having the quality of my roomate's eyetoy, which she uses for her skype conversations (and which I used to take pictures of my cloudbook, unboxed). I probably figure out at Chicago Linux's Programming Time what else I can do with this camera, as, this is the first time I've actually had my own webcam.

As a sidenote: A question that many people have asked me, is what I should name my cloudbook. My mom, members in my Linux group, and personal friends, have asked me about it So, I would like to announce the name, after quite some deliberation.

.....I'm calling my Cloudbook Johannes.

Yes, I know, it's probably of of the weirdest names to give a machine, but, it just seemed really cool(and for this machine, coolness is it's core...with exception of a few bugs ~_^).

As another sidenote, still having many issues with the wireless. However, I'll give the full story on it tomorrow....it's too late to give a full run down(I know, I know, but, a college girl does need sleep!).
