I have been relying on this for years and could not rate it more highly. One of the little known gems of the software world!

Works with Linux, Windows and Mac and is extremely simple to set up. 

If you find yourself using it, donate to the devs so they can keep making it even better!

Open Communications – When Google was Good | Barry Flanagan

This was a great time for open communications on the Internet. It marked the beginning of interoperable, standards-based protocols for chat, voice and presence. The possibility of an end to the many isolated islands of Instant Messaging by embracing true open standards.

Interesting launcher. Been using it on and off for a week or so. Very close to being more on then off

Nice interview with a guy I have admired for a very long time. In fact, back in 1993 when he started GNN, I mirrored it on IOL every day – bandwidth in those days was expensive, and content was thin on the ground!

GNN was great and Tim was a lovely person to deal with.

Neo-Nazi MEP from Hungary discovers he is Jewish

http://feeds.boingboing.net/~r/boingboing/iBag/~3/eN7EROU-Nr8/neo-nazi-mep-from-hungary-disc.html

A Hungarian neo-Nazi leader has had to retire from professional antisemitism because he discovered he was Jewish. Csanad Szegedi, who had decried "Jewishness" in Hungary's political class, and referred to Jews as "lice-infested, dirty murderers," was outed by a rival within the neo-Nazi movement, who revealed that Szegedi's maternal grandmother was a Jewish Auschwitz survivor, making him Jewish as well. From an AP story in the NYT:

The fallout of Szegedi's ancestry saga has extended to his business interests. Jobbik executive director Gabor Szabo is pulling out of an Internet site selling nationalist Hungarian merchandise that he owns with Szegedi. Szabo said his sister has resigned as Szegedi's personal assistant.

In the 2010 tape, former convict Zoltan Ambrus is heard telling Szegedi that he has documents proving Szegedi is Jewish. The right-wing politician seems genuinely surprised by the news — and offers EU funds and a possible EU job to Ambrus to hush it up.

Ambrus, who served time in prison on a weapons and explosives conviction, apparently rejected the bribes. He said he secretly taped the conversation as part of an internal Jobbik power struggle aimed at ousting Szegedi from a local party leadership post. The party's reaction was swift.
