Creepy…
Some guy from Macedonia just tried calling me on Skype. Fortunately my mic is broken, and apparently so is his. Here’s the transcript:
10/08/05 5:55 PM weird guy: hi 10/08/05 5:55 PM Aidan Findlater: who are you? 10/08/05 5:55 PM my mic isn't working, btw 10/08/05 5:55 PM weird guy: talk something 10/08/05 5:55 PM please 10/08/05 5:55 PM Aidan Findlater: umm 10/08/05 5:55 PM weird guy: ok 10/08/05 5:56 PM Aidan Findlater: i can't hear you 10/08/05 5:56 PM and i *know* you can't hear me, cuz my mic doesn't work 10/08/05 5:56 PM weird guy: i can`t talk 10/08/05 5:56 PM Aidan Findlater: where do i know you from? 10/08/05 5:56 PM weird guy: i`m from macedonia 10/08/05 5:57 PM Aidan Findlater: why are you trying to talk to me? 10/08/05 5:58 PM i don't mean to sound rude, but i'm at work right now 10/08/05 5:58 PM weird guy: ok ok 10/08/05 5:58 PM bye 10/08/05 5:58 PM Aidan Findlater: bye
I understand that a friend of mine was also getting random Skype calls like this with audio, and ended up blocking anyone who wasn’t on her list. I’ll probably be doing the same if this happens often enough.

Hey, Aidan, I had something similar happen to me on Skype too. A girl from China called me up. She didn’t know english very well at all and I spent a solid 5 minutes trying to get her to understand that I wanted to know why she was calling me before I gave up and hung up.
