0 Credits About the Author Andrew Sheppard has been fascinated by technology and science since childhood, and it’s an indulgence that has continued to this day. Since discovering Skype in 2004, Andrew has been using and hacking Skype in all sorts of weird and wonderful ways—if Skype came with any sort of warranty, he voided it long ago! Although his initial foray into using Skype was to find ways to save money on his phone bill, the true potential of Skype’s ability to do things that no regular phone system can do soon over- took that initial interest and replaced it with a fascination and desire to see “how deep the rabbit hole goes” (to borrow some words from the movie The Matrix). He’s still burrowing! Andrew is the publisher of a couple of online electronic magazines about Skype: Elpis’s Skype Power User Magazine (ISSN 1747-8421) and Elpis’s Skype API
