I downloaded Trillian thanks to Cooper's suggestion. I am way behind on this trend, but for those of you even further behind me, Trillian is a program that allows users to connect to AOL IM, Yahoo! Messenger, MSN, IRC, and ICQ all in one convenient interface. It also features cool customizable skins a la Winamp. So far I am still figuring it out, but I actually like it better than the new release of AIM messenger. I only use the program for AOL and Yahoo. I used to use ICQ back in the UCD days, but I have no idea what my old account was and since I don't know many who only have ICQ and not AOL, I probably won't re-sign up.
I turn 30 next month, and in preparation I'm working on a 30th Anniversary page for Club Josh. Stay tuned for more info!
I just started using Trillion about two weeks ago. So far I've found it to be really great. The skins are a lot of fun. The feature I love the best, however, is called TRANSPARENCY. It allows you to make the chat windows nearly transparent on your screen. It make a BOSS key unnecessary as you have to be looking very closely to see the window.
The PRO version adds support for AOL's voice and Video conferencing. I think it might almost be worth the $25 that they're asking.
On another cool software pick of the day note:
Check out

It's the best software I've found for cataloging your DVD collection. They even have a feature that allows you to publish your collection on the web. Mine is at:

It's not totally updated, and I haven't upgraded to the latest version, yet, but so far I'm in love with this software. When I started my collection was at about 250DVDs. It took only about 2 hours to input the whole thing.
Take a look and let me know what you think.

I own no DVDs. Does that make me a bad person? :)
Yes...
But you can be saved. Run to your nearest GROCERY STORE and buy a player and a couple of movies.
Quickly, Mark. I'll pray for you.
