Facebook IM never worked right for me in Adium, I just built the latest from Subversion and now it’s working flawlessly, it’s really easy to build from their latest if you have Xcode installed. To save you some time I’ve uploaded my adium.app to MediaFire:

I don’t blog as often as I did, I think much of it has to do with other services I am using now, they kindda replace having to blog about stuff I find online. And I don’t really have time to publish original content. If you’re interested, you can subscribe to these:

steez changes

May 22nd

April 22nd

Too dumb, whoever wrote it didn’t even put in a proper phishing link:

If you get any ISS phishing emails, forward it to the email address listed here. By the way, this is a good reason to use OpenDNS.
