#GNU #Jami (formerly #Ring) update: a few days ago, I got the #program to work over a #LAN and today I now know it works over a #WAN (home to work) both for #messaging and #video #calls. Good job and thanks to the developers.

Finally got #GNU #Jami (used to be called #Ring) to work (i.e. communicate) with another computer. I need to experiment with it a bit more, I suppose.
