I read that as advocating going to a conference room to yell into your skype microphone.

Article describes author going into a conference room for quiet & isolation (also notes people coming in to ask if that's why he's in there).

Yes, but this comment subthread is about rtpg's "Surely there's a conference room" reply to buserror, not about that part of the article.

Actually I meant the guy having his call in the conference room

In the offices where I'm at now though, conference rooms have become the quiet spaces though. Life imitating HN comments I guess ;)
