Disruptive Telephony

So with the release yesterday of RFC4824, The Transmission of IP Datagrams over the Semaphore Flag Signaling System (SFSS), one has to wonder... which of the vendors will be the first to attempt to implement VoIP transmission in this medium?     I think it would make for a rather slower conversation, but it would certainly be intriguing.  Hmmm... I wonder which would be faster - this method?  Or the avian method defined in RFC2549.  Probably this one, methinks. 

Oh, you have to love a standards body with a sense of humor...

Phil Wolff over at Skype Journal was obviously having way too much fun with graphic-editing programs, but the results are hilarious (at least to me). A very mooving piece titled "First Look: Skype for Cows 3.2".

Given today's date, it's definitely well worth a read....     ;-)
