Communication and scheduling are key practical matters for me. My slave has a schedule on Yahoo that she uses so I know where she is and what she is up to in the most specific way she can maintain. On it are her work hours and other social commitments as well as her training schedule. I can use this to add tasks or notes. We also use every form of chat imaginable: SMS, YahooIM, iChat for cam sessions and multiple email accounts and of course, this site.

I have her perform her 'remote' tasks and record audio or video of them as documents of her service. She then posts them on her Apple iDisk (but any FTP will work). I then download and review them at my leisure. She also reports daily service tasks by IM to me so I know when she's been serving me. All of this adds up to provide a presence in our daily lives. Isn't technology wonderful (except when your video link goes down in the middle of an intense cam session)!

My slave is very good at whip, cane and crop and thru her hand I administer corporal punishment and pleasure.
