Staying in Touch with Me

Monday, January 4, 2010 in General by slowe | 3 comments

With the job change, some of my contact information is also changing. Naturally, my ePlus.com e-mail address will go away, but also going away (effective immediately) are my three ePlus-related instant messaging accounts:

MSN Messenger (slowe@eplus.com)
Yahoo Messenger (eplusslowe)
AOL Instant Messenger (eplusslowe)

If you are using my ePlus e-mail address or any of these instant messaging accounts to stay in touch with me, you’ll need to update your contact information. I don’t have my official EMC e-mail address yet, but my personal e-mail address is available on the About page of this site. I also have Google Talk, AIM, and MSN Messenger accounts that use my personal e-mail address as the user ID; you can use these as a replacement for the ePlus-related instant messaging accounts. I won’t be creating a new Yahoo Messenger account.

If you have my Google Voice number, you can continue using that number to reach me via telephone or SMS. Otherwise, all my old phone numbers will go away. And no, I’m not going to post my Google Voice number out here for anyone to use. Those of you that need it should already have it.

My Twitter ID (scott_lowe) and my blog URL will remain unchanged. I will continue to actively use both to share useful technical information.

    Have you seen the Google Voice call widget (Settings->Call Widgets)? People click on the link, then Google voice calls them and connects them to you, so they never actually see your Google Voice number. Still not sold on making it that easy to call my phone, but a nice feature. Maybe if you could identify calls originating from widget and default them to voicemail?

    Mark,

    Yes, I’ve seen the Call Widget, but—like you—I’m not so sure I want to make it easy for people to ring my phone. If there was a foolproof way of sending all calls made by the widget to voicemail, that might be OK. Anyone know how to do that?

    Scott,

    you can create a widget that sends calls directly to voicemail.

    * Go to Settings > Call Widgets
    * Create a new widget
    * You can then choose which phones you want to ring, or to send calls from this new widget straight to voicemail. You can even create a custom greeting for this particular widget.

    Cheers
