One of the things I needed to do this morning was download IM software. Out-of-towners with freelancing work want to talk to me next week, and I replied, “Sounds great, if you prefer IM to phone, just let me know what network you’re on, and I’ll install an IM client so I can talk to you.” So I went out and got Pidgin, a freeware IM client that connects to just about every network out there – AIM, Google Talk, ICQ, Yahoo, MSN, and many more. It’s one of the most highly-rated freeware products out there.
Being a Downtown Memphian, there’s just something about this software that feels very… familiar. It seems like something I see many, many times every day.
Hmmm… for some reason I suddenly feel compelled to take the laptop to Court Square and use their free Wi-Fi to work.
