Random Tech notes

I installed Miranda IM the other day. I liked the fact that I could connect with Google Talk, which I can’t do with the free version of Trillian, but I wasn’t realy excited about the fact that there’s no voice features, which would be kinds nice to have with GoogleTalk. I also just didn’t like the feel of it compared to Trillian. Perhaps I’m just not a simple interface guy. 🙂

Does anyone use the Pro version of Trillian? Does it support voice in a GoogleTalk connection using the Jabber protocol? Just curious.

I am pretty excited by this. A free version of VMWare called VMWare player. At last I can take my existing virtual machines and run them on my laptop, which means I’m more likely to use them more often. Very cool….

Another busy morning

Yes, yet another morning filled with answering virus questions, hooking things up, looking up details, tracking down failures, etc. (aka yet another day in IT!) But I just wanted to take a moment and share DNS Report, especially the mail test. It comes in handy when you don’t get direct access to your ISP’s mail…

Finally felt well enough today to make the trip out to the Apple Store with Angela to look into getting her eMac. We get there and take a look at the one model of eMac that they have, which was basically what she wanted with some customizations, like upgrading the RAM and installing the Airport…

Terrific training discussion

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Kathy Sierra has an interesting post on the Creating Passionate Users blog, about how to get our users past the “P” Mode, a reference to digital cameras. There’s a terrific, if somewhat lengthy, conversation taking place in the comments as well. I’m sure I’ll have something more to say about the idea, but I want…
