Random Tech notes

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I installed Miranda IM the other day. I liked the fact that I could connect with Google Talk, which I can’t do with the free version of Trillian, but I wasn’t realy excited about the fact that there’s no voice features, which would be kinds nice to have with GoogleTalk. I also just didn’t like the feel of it compared to Trillian. Perhaps I’m just not a simple interface guy. 🙂

Does anyone use the Pro version of Trillian? Does it support voice in a GoogleTalk connection using the Jabber protocol? Just curious.

I am pretty excited by this. A free version of VMWare called VMWare player. At last I can take my existing virtual machines and run them on my laptop, which means I’m more likely to use them more often. Very cool….

    Tami Schiller was kind enough to present a few ideas in the comments to that last post, and I definitely agree with what she had to say. In fact, the survey results themselves show some growth in the areas of alternative learning, with more firms using webcasts, podcasts and other time-shifted training tools. That will…

    Thanks to Andy for giving me the heads up on the search function not working. I’m not sure what happened, or why, but once I reposted the HTML code snippet it went back to working again, so search away! I hope everyone had a nice New Year’s Eve and Day. Most of my holiday yesterday…

    I mentioned the E-Discovery Reading Room site the other day and even suggested it’d be cool to have their blogroll put out as an OPML file for everyone to just load up in Google Reader or some other RSS feed reader. As it turns out, the next day I got an email from someone affiliated…
