Pidgin: Awesome Chat Client for Windows

For the bigger and better version of this article, check out the new site at thetechadvisors.co.cc

Pidgin is one of the best apps for Windows I’ve seen yet. It features connectivity to

  • AIM
  • Bonjour
  • Gadu-Gadu
  • Google Talk
  • Groupwise
  • ICQ
  • IRC
  • MSN
  • MySpaceIM
  • QQ
  • SILC
  • SIMPLE
  • Sametime
  • XMPP
  • Yahoo!
  • Zephyr

and more! Pidgin is also open source, so it gets updated constantly, getting better all the time.

Being open source also means Pidgin can support plugins, tiny little addons that extend the uses of Pidgin, from notifying about new chat updates to quick language translating.

Bottom line is that Pidgin is a dead-simple chat client for Windows that can do so much more than chatting from the web.

New Site @ thetechadvisors.co.cc

I have decided to experiment with having a new site for this blog @ http://thetechadvisors.co.cc. I will continue to post to both blogs to improve the transition.

The new blog has all the posts of this blog. Change will be for the better because of no limitations of the wordpress.org software, which will make the experience of all users much better!

Exciting things to look for are:

  • users
  • google friend connect
  • facebook connect
  • cool themes and plugins
  • custom javascript code in posts

Merry Christmas!

Alex

Twitter Hacked!

At 10 o'clock P.M. last night, Twitter was reportedly hacked by the 'Iranian Cyber Army'. They had access to comprised DNS records which allowed them to redirect site for some while. Twitter is back to normal now, but make sure to change your Twitter password just in case. If your username and passwords on other sites are the same as your Twitter ones (which they shouldn't be), change those too!

Signal Patterns finds Your Characteristics Based on a Bunch of Questions

I tried using the Signal Patterns Personality Test, and it works, and it’s really cool. Those traits in the images are mine, and they all apply to me very well.

To get to this point, you have to take a (about) 30 question page with questions like:

“You are always like to win and aren’t satisfied by ‘getting along’”

You answer the question based on how much this is like yourself, ranging from “Opposite of Me” to “This is Me”

Try it, and see what you turn up with!
