Check it: #coffeehouse on irc.freenode.net is now in effect. Why #coffeehouse? #coffeehouse exists so that readers and friends of The Torn Identity have a place to hang out and chat with each other in real time. I used IRC way back when the “internet” first started, back before all the IM came out. Feel free…

How not to get fired because of your blog

Read Blogger’s tips about blogging at work. The guy at Microsoft should have read it and should have been more careful about putting up so many details online so this wouldn’t have happened. (Yeah, that’s why I’m so vague all the time, yeah, that’s it…it’s not that I can’t write.) It also mentions about a…

You can probably tell a lot about people from what kind of music they listen to. Since I haven’t been writing much, I figured I’d let my music choice tell all. I just installed Christine’s winamp hoverable playlist. It’s awesome.

Finally I have my own version of MovableType. My host had it preinstalled, leaving me with little control. I deleted all the sql tables, did a fresh install, and imported everything back, templates and entries. Now I can fully customize this baby complete with plugins and hacks. I just can’t figure out why my archives…

Miranda IM

1 min read
I’m trying out a new chat client called Miranda Instant Messenger. The program is supposed to be smaller and faster than Trillian. You can also customize it by installing your own plugins. Both of these multi-network chat clients are still working on their patches or plugins for Yahoo (unless you’re a paid Trillian user). It’s…

Trillian blocked by Yahoo
•
1 min read
Yahoo has begun blocking Cerulean Studios’ Trillian software from communicating with its own instant messaging software as part of its plan to limit third parties from piggybacking on its service. As of now, the Trillian patch does not resolve Yahoo issues. EDIT: They do have a patch for Trillian Pro v2.0.

Ok, so I’ve made some changes to this site recently (anyone notice?). I’ve also started using php files so hopefully that will allow me to do more stuff. This is my first time playing around with php so keep your eyes peeled! Hopefully I won’t jack things up too much.
