Ms Selecta - Caffeine Manager
By
Jaanus on November 4, 2005 in Life at Skype.
Straight from my inbox this morning.
From: Tallinn office manager
To: all Skype staff
Subject: new hire in Tallinn officeI hereby have the honors to introduce the newest hire to Skype Tallinn office. As of today, you can meet Ms Tiiu Selecta (second from left on the picture below) in our kitchen. We had to move the lasagne-stuffed fridge you all know and love to another corner to make Tiiu some seating room.
This intergalactic-looking colleague is capable of filling itself with water, order fresh beans from corner shop to ease our other office assistants' load and hold intelligent conversations with you while waiting for hot beverages offered in wide assortment.
There are some embedded development and usability test tasks for new hires in preparation by respective teams. As result, new shiny icons and SkypeNet compatibility will be there, with release date scheduled to Q1.
Welcome.
PS: the two gentlemen are likely to see a harrasment suit in their mail soon, if you inspect the picture closely.

Fuzzy guy on left blames clueless new hire on right for crappy cup-o-joe. Clueless says, hey Fuzz you pushed the wrong sequence of buttons.

We were talking about skype-enabled kitchen devices once at the developer summit in Tallinn. It seem that there are no skype-enabled coffee machines yet.
Would be great to simply skype:coffee_tallinn?cafe_latte

Yes indeed, agreed with Grille. I expect a coffee to be ready next time I visit

Once the necessary teleporting hardware has been crafted, so that objects of interest (e.g. a cup of coffee) can be digitalized and later reproduced physically, Skype could be used for the communication. The teleporter manufacturers could simply use the Skype API (Ap2Ap). Then the communication part would be free

Perhaps superfluous to mention, but Skype's Conference option could help greatly in setting up catering enterprises. (The 5 participants limit will hopefully be eased.)
With teleporting devices widely in use, the Privacy option naturally becomes extremely important. As angry dogs are, alas, widespread in Estonia, I want to be sure I really get my café latte, and not some mad beast. Skype fortunately authenticates the other party securely.

The picture clearly shows the harassment. As the guy on the right is touching Ms Selecta's nipple. Serious "grounds" for a case from where I set. But obviously she "puts out" if you push HER buttons!!!! so it would be a hard case to win!!!!
