GAIM & Google's IM Service

Thanks to Vijay Shankar Ganesh, there is a nice little description on
how to configure GAIM using the Jabber protocol in order to become a
user of Google's IM program.

Stream Of (Un-)Consciousness

Another day of hard (knowledge) work has passed, the mental image of myself appears rather blurred and not clear. But blogging is supposed to help - focus the mind by taking it off the most burning issues. It forces me to think, structure, and work consciously with what has so far been "just there" in the unconscious space within.

Dumping my thoughts here, should not only enable me to create a piece of reflection for myself (and possibly others) but also give me an opportunity to discuss issues with the world-wide blogging community.

I believe in gaining through sharing. True to the spirit of openness I believe that only exposition to public scrutiny can enable me to survive.

In that sense:

HELLO WORLD!
-- let's blog!
