Greetings from Auburn… today at work, I started using a new all-in-one instant messenger client called GAIM… it’s a free download and it supports numerous IM networks such has AOL, ICQ, MSN (although my MSN connection continues to fail….) Novell, Gadu-Gadu (whatever the heck that is), IRC, Jabber, Napster, Yahoo, and SILC.
One of the cool things I found was it shows you when a particular screen name was created… So i thought way back to my first screen name of chuckysal (hint the name of the blog), i added it to my buddy list, and sure enough, there was my “member since” date… I couldn’t believe it when I saw it…. Thursday, October 21, 1997! It’s almost been 10 years since I’ve been using AIM…
Well anyways I just thought that was kinda interesting… make you look at how far the world of IM’ing has come! How long have you been IM’ing? Post a comment and let me know!
I promise there will be an updated personal entry coming this week! Oh, and for those of you that don’t know and will be in the Auburn area this weekend, the 4th Annual “Heros Take Flight Fly-In” is Saturday from 10a - 3p at KAUO. See link for more information.
