The Other Side of Midnight - Richard C. Hoagland - Live Chat Thread

[ItsOver]

Back to the smooth jazz station.

[AppealPlay]

Yeah, Skype just disconnected me and offered to leave a message.  Cost me 5¢ 'cause Skype considered that voice as picking up.

Call EnterpriseMisson and not the number.

[astroguy]

Call EnterpriseMisson and not the number.

Less of a chance he'll pick up if he sees my real name.

[UnfamiliarWind]

Hoagland need his own "wormhole" messaging system to alert him.

He can't even turn the ringer off the phone in the background. Something tells me a wormhole system would be a tad bit too sophisticated for him ...

[Claudius]

He barely knows how to use skype, I doubt it

[ShayP]

As cunning as a fox who is professor of cunning studies?

At Oxford, no less.  Black Adder ruled.

I loved Black Adder!

[AppealPlay]

Ah, I see.  Okay, then.  Maybe create a new Skype account with a fake name to fool him?

[astroguy]

"Incoming call from Stuart Robbins" might tip him off.

[Claudius]

Are we talking about the same guy? 

[ShayP]

...or plug into the USB port, thus crashing the Starship Enterprise.

I just Shazam'ed the song he came in from the break with. Turns out its off an album called "Enterprise Mission" from 1997. One of the songs is called "The Quickening" and another is called "Cydonia". Surprised I hadn't heard of it before.

That's a little sneakier than my intent of calling in from Skype to his land line number and saying I'm Robert from Wisconsin or wherever farmville place and braaps from Bellgab.

You can change your Skype screen name. It is very easy to do.

I recently heard about this Shazam thingy.  I consider it sorcery.

Pffft.  Your honor has no place in the Hoagieverse.

It's so good. Although some of the trippy space music that RCH plays is so obscure that Shazam can't ID it.

[trostol]

did he just sing the beach boys?

[Claudius]

We live in that Orwellian society? Sign me up, when do I get to put a rat cage on RCHs head?

[SciFiAuthor]

Keep stealthy. I hope you make it on.

[Claudius]

As stupid as RCH is, he is fairly right about Iran.

[trostol]

except there really isn't Dick lol

He took a call from his "stalker" so that won't bother him...

[ShayP]

Fuuuuuuuccccckkkkkkk......Get on with it Richard!  Take more callers more frequently ya jagoff!  Uggh!!!

[Meister_000]

I'm just going to start calling him RCHs scorned lover.

[zeebo]

Back to the smooth jazz station.

Yep I keep expecting him to segue into some breezy synth n' sax tunes.

If you get on, remember to just keep talking.

[astroguy]

He's taken -- what? -- 4 callers?
