I wrote an article about videoconferencing, and will be writing another (a more technical and Mac-oriented). I have been satisfied with iSight. Even on a 600 MHz iBook the video quality is good. Here is a screen capture of iChat AV and Hydra (recently renamed to '#####') in action:

Writing other things instead of blogging -- Comment()
I have become a bit worried about blogging. I don't want to be just a "blog jockey", who mixes and matches bits and pieces from other blogs with some personal commentary in between. On the other hand, I don't have the time to write extensively about my views, at least daily. I hardly have time to fulfil my other writing tasks and assignments. For example, I'm currently preparing the third edition of my textbook Solving optimization problems (in Finnish, Optimointitehtävien ratkaiseminen). The second edition has been sold out, so I should finish the third edition as soon as possible. Thus, there is not much time for other writing. Also, I have found a natural forum for my writing in the columns and book reviews I write for various magazines in Finland. Thus, this blog will be short of original ideas for some time.

Blog Stuff: "I'm bored of roughly 90% of the blogs that I "read" I enjoy life more when I tried to avoid computers on the weekend. Therefore: I'm going to either read fewer blogs or find some new blogs to read. Any suggestions?" [Jeremy Zawodny's blog]
