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>.
