Random Tech notes

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

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….

    Gee is Google, through Blogger, out to conquer the world? Seriously, I’ve got to think giving people the ability to use Blogger with their own language is only going to increase the number of people and veiwpoints being represented on the web and that’s got to be good, right?
