More Trillian

Version .0724 is out. I know I said I wasn’t going to keep updating the AIM connection battles, but it seems this version has some other bug fixes as well, so you might want to grab it. By the way they also have, in big bold red letters, a link to download the even newest AIM patch. That should get you connected to AIM for about a day or so..*L* (via NT Compatible)

Per an anonymous suggestion from the comments, I’m going to give StatcounteX a try for keeping website statistics. Hopefully that will be a weekend project this weekend, but I’ve got to get our taxes done first. That will be a chore, but my accounting background from way back when makes it a bearable chore, and they shouldn’t be too hard. (Famous last words, I know!)

I guess those color coded cables are too confusing! But starting the 18th, that may be exactly what I’m doing. And I’m not even getting new carpet!

    Only in this case it wasn’t a pet peeve before, because I never considered that someone would do this. Someone actually forwarded me a spam they got with the message “This doesn’t apply to me, I must have gotten it by mistake.” What, exactly, do they expect me to do about that? Follow these topics:…
