Staying Connected

On a similar note to the last on Blogging, there are multiple ways of connecting with me online.
If you are not a Gather or MySpace user there are two IM options and one VoIP option:
1) MSN Messenger - Find me under m[lastname] @msn.com. Don't bother emailing me at this address though as I don't use it. I do see in "Msn Today" if I have mail.

2) Yahoo Messenger, which I often neglect to turn on primarily because very few of my friends are on it exclusively. You can find me here at mandy[lastname] @yahoo.ca

3) Gizmo - This is my new favourite toy. It's a great, free Voice over IP - which means if you have a mic we can talk for free just like a phone. Sound wise it is much better than any Messenger and more reliable. Gizmo is one of the best options for VoIP because it is compatible with both Macs and PCs - which is good for me because many of my friends and family use Macs (wish I was one of them!). Plus, it offers very cheap long distance rates if you call a landline. (Gizmo to Gizmo is free)
You'll find me on Gizmo with my name.

Blogging

I have been blogging a lot more lately - but not here in our "what's new" blog for friends and family.
However, for those persons who actually read this (anyone??) and who might also be interested in what else spews out of my keyboard besides academic papers and proposals (and emails) here are a few links for blogs and my two webpages:
Mandy on Gather (where I do most of my blogging)
Mandy on MySpace
Mandy on MSN
Mandy's Personal Webpage (replacing the lost one)
Mandy's Academic Webpage
