No MSN

MSN Butterfly Ladies – Canadian Veggie

I don’t mind MSN, I like to use non Microsoft clients, as they have no ads, and they’re generally easier to use. I typically used Pidgin, but Pidgin has started crashing on MSN, so I thought it’s time to ditch the closed source protocol and start actively using XMPP. The best part is, I use GMail, so I already have a XMPP account and server.

I’m currently using Gajim and I’ve placed it on the Compiz Fusion widget layer, which makes it even more nicer.

I’ve also installed a VOIP softphone, however I don’t think it’ll run all that well through my throttled internet.
