learning something new and sharing as I go
I work every Monday night. The business students all know that I work every Monday night, as my hours are posted on my Contact Page, and I tell them in every class I teach when I work. So here is what one Monday night looked like a few weeks ago, between 6:00 and 7:30. Yep,... Continue Reading →
In his latest column in Time Magazine, Joel Stein writes why people don't like video phones. Even though Skype is the only one of all the cool gadgets that cartoons promised me would exist by 2010, people don't seem nearly as excited as they should be. Only 34% of Skype calls even use video.

Char has posted some problems we've been having with using Pidgin and Meebo. I personally log into all my IM accounts and my Meebome widget with Pidgin, and it works just fine. I'm able to get all my IM's and meebome conversations in one single place. It's also very nice to change my status in... Continue Reading →
Update: 9/23/2009 I haven't used this setup for well over a year, as for some reason it stopped connecting to the Meebo Widget. However, the newest version of Trillian works great with the Meebo Widget, and I have written a guide that details how to set it up. ------------------------- Hey, you got your meebome...
