- For users who don't know, Colin is refering to Conversation Logging.

Forgive me if i'm wrong, but I can see no evidence for Conversation Logging. Not in the sence I mean anyway. I mean logging and saving to a text file. The "Logging" feature in Talk at the moment doesn't save to a file, it just keeps the information temporarily, so you know what you were talking about if you accidently close the window.

right click on the tray icon, then about menu, you will see a hidden message:

play 23 21 13 16 21 19 . 7 1 13 5

translate it using 1 = a 2 = b 3 = c etc

play wumpus.game

Instructions from Wikipedia:

Add [email protected] to your buddy list, allow it to add you to its buddy list, and send it a text message (anything works). Instructions will be offered if you say 'y' when it asks.

I am loving it so far. We should have some options though: like:

1. To not have the box pop up telling you what the person said when the box already flashes.

2. Emoticons? Where are they?

3. I will think of more!

Otherwise it is great for the first release.

Is it even possible to change the display name?

Right now my full name is there, but I want my short nickname.

I don't think so. AFAIK if you really don't want your full name to show, you'll have to go to this page and change your first name to a nickname and leave your last name blank. But then that also applies to outgoing Gmail.

If anyone needs them, I have 50 gmail invites. PM me if you need one.

Regarding the client, I have to say I love it. I know it lacks some necessary features, like file transfer, but I really like having a chat client so clean and simplistic. Plus it looks cool, and only uses a little memory. I really hope when they add other features, the window design doesn't change too much or gets bloated.

And I really like the way if you post several messages one after the other, your name only appears once, and all messages get apended, saving space. Smart.

EDIT: This service, as well as the recent adition of Santo Domingo (my hometown) to Google Earth, has just made me love the Google people even more. Boy, I wish I worked there.

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      Google are hyprocrites for signing this. They have been pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft, only they do it on Android and ChromeOS.

      In some countries the law has forced Microsoft to display a menu on a fresh install of Windows which asks which web browser you want and it will install that browser. This doesn't add any bloat to Windows. It simply an additional step when setting up a new PC.

      Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.
