OK, for all you people like me who use more than just one IM service, thats instant messaging for you who aren’t hip to the modern lingo, there is a new gaim in town (pun intended).
Now, I personally use trillian but I liked it so much a couple years ago I paid for the not free version. Yes that is right, captian software pirate paid for something…one of the first things that wasn’t a game since i discovered software pirating in 1998. But anyway, this new thing is open source, it runs on linux and windows, and some palm pilots / pocket PC devices. Anyway, they hit version 1.0 today, so if you use multiple instant messangers and hate those advertsement things, check it out. Things of note, the windows version needs a plugin to show the little system tray icon, and it needs to install some GTK common thingers, but it comes with that, so don’t worry about it. Anyway besides that help Valerie, Chris and Kari get an ipod by checking out some of my older posts. Like this post.
Jeff said some really amusing stuff today at small group leader training, but I’ll let him decide if he wants to tell those stories. Besides that I went and handed out free water bottles to people today. The reactions you get sometimes are really funny. I’ll let Lauren write about that though. And now, I go to do my thing and wait for my last referral to clear on my Ipod so I can get it and paint it.
