+title: Tetrinet and Gphone
+---
+
+<a href="http://twistedpath.org/">Term</a> has come up with some
+ingenous new ways of wasting our time. Last night he introduced me to
+<a href="http://gphone.sourceforge.net/">Gphone</a> a
+<a href="http://www.speakfreely.org/">SpeakFreely</a> compatible
+internet phone that uses GSM compression (ie the compression used in
+many cellular phones). A word of caution: you need a decent
+microphone, or it will be extremely difficult for the other person
+to understand you.
+<br /><br />
+
+Also, Term introduced us to the exciting world of
+<A href="http://www.tetrinet.org/">Tetrinet</a>, and online
+multiplayer tetris game. If you're using Linux, you should check out
+<a href="http://gtetrinet.sourceforge.net/">GTetrinet</a>,
+a GTK+-based Linux client. There's a list of Tetrinet servers
+available <a href="http://www.tetrinet.org/frame/ip.html">here</a>,
+but we've been having so much fun playing that I put up a permanent
+server at <i>tetrinet.pablotron.org</i>. You can monitor our game
+rankings over on <a href="/tetrinet/">my tetrinet page</a>.
