If I were on a PC, I would use Pidgin. It appears to be the closest PC cousin to Adium.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Google Voice May Open to All Today
The Today Show takes a look at Google Voice this morning (as we did three months ago), with correspondent Janet Shamlian offering a very generalized overview of its call filtering/forwarding and voicemail transcription features. We're keeping an eye on it, but Google Voice's login page is still pegged with "Coming soon" and "Existing GrandCentral users." Still, Shamlian confirmed that Google Voice would be "available today, nationwide," so stay tuned if you're eager to grab a number and try it out.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Trillium is a good Windows chat device
That's Trillian, in case you try to google it. Unless there is also one called Trillium.

Windows 7 pricing news.
Maybe this weekend I should buy some upgrades. I have one copy of Vista and three copies of Windows XP. I also have a questionable copy of Windows XP (I have a version in a box, but it's not the one that's on the computer.). All the others are pretty straight up, wait no, there's another one like that. I have a license but it's not the one that's installed.

That is to say I have licenses for four copies of Windows and four computers, but for ease of installation issues, they don't match up one for one.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Hmmm... That is a good deal. Maybe I'll buy one upgrade to try it out on a secondary PC.

Download the RC version to try it out. It should be available for a few more days. Go to the official Windows 7 website and you should be able to get it from there, though you might need a Live account to do it.
The upgrades are preorder so the deal will probably be over before you can try it out.

One weird thing Vista keeps doing to me. It keeps thinking every folder has music. I open up a folder with all text and word documents and it shows a listing with Artist, Album, Rating, and Track number instead of type, size, and date modified. Weird. Easily fixable, but weird.

Yeah, this. I wrote the other post in a hurry and didn't double-check my fingers.
