Coding and Sleeping

Opera 9 has been released: [link]

It has some nifty features. It makes me want a new threadsuck that just shows names and messages so Opera can read it to me.

Also, GeeXBox 1.0 [link] has been released. This is a nifty OS for turning an old computer into a media player. I have a GeeXBox/Debian dual boot so I can boot into Debian to run Samba for copying video to the computer, and GeeXBox to play them. Has replaced my treadmill TV. The old computer doesn't like running a Mythfrontend to connect to my MythBox, but has no problem with GeeXBox.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I installed Opera 9 on my work machine and it failed utterly to authenticate or play nice with our proxy server. So off it went, once I got out of the cascade of username/password prompts.

This makes me less interested in installing it at home.

So, what's a good AIM-and-MSN-chat-in-one thing for Mac? I know y'all have recommended some in the past.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Adium.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Seconding adium.

Hey. New board.

Adium is my favorite piece of free software ever. It's such a wonderful piece of macintosh open-source (far too rare a breed)

Plus, it's pretty.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I, personally, love the meta-profiles and the ability to change the display names.

eta: That is to say "great taste!"

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Okay this is the mobile phone watch I need. (Phone has bluetooth, site has audio.)
