Connect To Google Talk And Skype Via Trillian
The launch of Google Talk created a bit of a dilemma for me this morning. I try to keep as few programs running as possible on my machine, which, I guess is a throwback to the days of DOS when a few extra k could be the difference between being able to get a [...]

Presence: non-IM applications?
An article by Wireless Wonder made me realise that presence could be used for more than just reporting whether a person is available, busy, offline etc.
The author, Paul G had worked on a presence application for car garages. It made me think-why not use presence in home automation? e.g a front door [...]
