Guess what? I’m using Google’s “talk” IM service right now. It’s pretty simple, just added the server in iChat, used my google username and pass and now I’m using google’s jabber server (you can add me, torrone@gmail.com). Adding the account, I needed to try connect with and without SSL, and finally me online using their server. Here’s another HOW TO – Link. UPDATE: Get the Google client with VOIP and more here! Wow!

Neat! Jill over on inhabitat has a handy guide- I’ve always coveted my friend Melissa’s fabulous terrarium, which is the centerpiece of her stylish, cozy Brooklyn apartment. I’ve secretly wanted one of my own for ages, and recently realizing that some artsy terrariums can sell for thousands of dollars, I decided it was high time to learn how to make my own on the cheap. After much pleading, I’ve finally managed to convince Melissa to spill her terrarium secrets… Link.
Looks like Google is going to be using Jabber- talk.google.com is talking Jabber. You can telnet over to talk.google.com 5222. The last line will be the standard response sent by a Jabber server prior to negotiating a login. I heard on IRC that some have logged in using their Google username and password. Link.

Over the next day and week you’ll hear about the new PSP 2.0 update from all the usual places, but don’t update- really. There are a couple new features, like a web browser, image transfer/wallpaper, some other video and network tweaks- but it’s a yawn. You’ll lose all the amazing homebrew playing capability, emulators and cool applications the PSP makers are cranking out- so don’t do it- it’s just not worth it, it removes fun (until the version 2.0 firmware can play homebrew, then it’s ok to update).
