I keep having to update and patch Trillian to keep AOL connectivity. AOL keeps trying to block Trillian. It’s not like AOL is going to sue alternative IMs as the FTC was very critical AOL’s actions in dealing Jabber last year.
Yeah, I have been lax… I know… It’s the Sims, the rebuilding my computer at work, and playing catchup, I swear! Anyway, we are all archived up and ready to rumble.

Lovely… MSN Messenger is still down. Seems that Microsoft had problems with hardware so people were up and down. It is my turn to be down. Thankfully I have other IMs on which I can rely… AIM and ICQ being the most reliable IMs. Backing up all my data off my work computer in order…
Some interesting security articles… AIM Is Insecure (duh!?) and some details of the Microsoft October hack tell-all.
