ex machina

after the upgrade to jaguar, bad things started to happen with my previously favorite os x instant messaging client of choice, fire, so i started scouting for a new messaging client.

ichat looks sort-of adequate, but lack of jabber support is a non-starter [ ironic, given the rumors that it uses the protocol internally ]. just when things were looking pretty dim [ jabberfox - i'm talking to you ], a friend points me to proteus , which is so good, it's likely going to get some money from after a few more days of testing.

did i mention that the ability to bring ssl and jabber makes me happy [ although i haven't tried it yet, so hopefully i won't be eating my words later today ]?

“"it is hard to be brave," said piglet, sniffing slightly, "when you're only a Very Small Animal." rabbit, who had begun to write very busily, looked up and said: "it is because you are a very small animal that you will be Useful in the adventure before us."”

[ about ]

this site chronicles the continuing adventures of my son, odin, who was unexpectedly born on the fourth of july at 25 weeks gestation, weighing 1 pound 7 ounces.

he's quite a fighter and you can always send him a postcard to the most current address listed here if you're inspired by his adventures. see the postcard project/google maps mashup to see a map of the postcards.

if you're new, you can browse the archives to catch up. and don't forget to watch a few movies that i made while we were in the neonatal intensive care unit. or if you want the abridged version and you can find a copy, you can read about his adventures in the november 2005 issue of parents magazine.
