Windows Live Messenger 8.0.0683.00_Branches (build 31)

I just went and installed the new leaked messenger build. Well, it is much better than the previous beta
  • A lot more customisable options.
  • Updated GUI. inlcuding new icons.
  • Now playing fixed (don't forget to reinstalled the original Winamp plugin)
  • Contact custom messages display correctly.
  • Better contact infomation on contact window. Name, email and custom message.
  • A number of bugs i used to have appear to be fixed.
  • New features.

Anyway, that's what I've noticed in the first 5 minutes. Seems pretty sweet. Grab it from http://www.msgstuff.com/news/post/40/

Also, from Mess.be:

We have also learned that the interoperability with Yahoo! Messenger is almost ready and that it will be added to the internal build pronto. Unfortunately, it will first be tested for about a month by Microsoft employees only, but we'll probably be talking to our Yahoo! friends by the end of May.

Windows Live Mail

For those of you still wanting to start using the beta. It's been opened for immediate sign up. Just sign up from http://ideas.live.com and go.

Privoxy - neat.

Internet:
We finally installed ad filtering software on our proxy server. Very neat, because it blocks the ads even before it gets to the browsers - kind of makes adblock redundant. We used Privoxy.
 
Calendars:
I spent a bit of time the other night playing with calendars. In the past I used to just use the MSN calendar to email me before doctors appointments etc. Although I did set up a 30 Boxes account as well. Recently I setup the Google Calendar (which I prefer to 30 boxes) but there seems to be a few issues with syndication. But the MSN calendar can't syndicate with any non-msn accounts at all. Though I hear that is going to be solved in the future.
 
Anyway, the idea is that my google calendar should syncronise with my 30 Boxes (it should already, but just didn't seem to want to).
 
Anyway, you can see the little calendar feed on the left here.

The Gibraltar Airport - those are one set of lights you definately want to stop at.

Movies

Saw a couple of movies recently. Here's a summary:
Corpse BrideThe Corpse Bride
Another Tim Burton, A Nightmare Before Christmas type affair. As with A Nightmare Before Christmas, I quiet enjoyed this. Clever puppetry (you often fell you could be watching CGI), though the songs are pretty dull.

Worthwhile watching.
Charlie and the Chocolate FactoryCharlie and the Chocolate Factory
A warped version of the classic movie. Not too bad, but not great either. Johnny Depp is good, as always, but the others are a little flat. The soundtrack is quick good, though I miss the original Oompa Loompa songs.

A darker take on the story.
Deuce Bigalow, European GigalowDeuce Bigalow, European Gigalow
Hmm... mostly bad. a couple of laughs.

Avoid unless your day has been devoid of any humour.

Yahoo Mail Beta

I randomly signed into my Yahoo! Mail account today and was invited to the new Yahoo! Mail Beta.

How does it compare to the Windows Live Mail? Pretty well. It doesn't seem to have as many features, but it is a hell of a lot faster. The interface is also a bit better I think.

I can only hope that Live Mail increases its speed and design features to match that of Yahoo, as I still don't plan on moving from my hotmail account.

Messenger Customisation

I've made a few updates to the article about customising Messenger found here.
 
Computers:
I noticed during the week, Windows Live Mail contacts now include the little photo and drop-down box found in MSN spaces. Nothing special, and we knew it was coming, but useful all the same - if for nothing else than knowing who is using messenger/spaces etc.
 
More info and photo here.
 
Oh and for any of you still using the old Hotmail, send an email to iwantalivemessengerinvite@googlemail.com and he says he will invite you straight away. If that doesn't work, there's plenty of options to get invited around the internsnet.

Howl's Moving Castle

I finally got around to watching Howl's Moving Castle, an animated film that I've been wanting to see for some time now.
 
How was it? Quite good. A magical story set in an futuristic, steam powered 18th century land (think airships and the like). ABout a girl who gets put under a curse and lives with a wizard in his magic castle, that can walk.
 
I enjoyed it.
