# I'm on Skype

By Roy Osherove June 4, 2004 In [Off Topic](https://osherove.com/blog/category/off-topic)

**Historical article** · Originally published June 4, 2004; technical details may be outdated.

Well, I bought myself a pair of headphones with a mic attached, and installed Skype.

I feel chatty, so if you feel like it, and see me online, Skype me (surprisingly, my user name is royosherove).

If you've talked to me through the blogsphere, or on MSN messenger - I'd love to hear from you.

I'll be offline in the next few hours (Dinner with the folks..) but catch me later. I'll be happy to talk with you in person!
