no msn issue here
So a few other FOSS IM clients were affected by an MSN issue the last few days. Kopete in KDE 4.1 doesn't have this issue, and if you have Kopete from a KDE 4.2 release, you just need to get a newer version of libmsn installed (which may require compiling from source). Nice to see that (for once) our lack of support for the latest protocol version actually kept us safe.

I've been quite productive today - committing peoples patches that needed to have the trunk freeze lifted. Already we have for KDE 4.3:
- History importer for Pidgin logs
- A new 'View History' button in the chat window
- A chat window that now follows the background setting from the config
- A dependency on an external libgadu rather than providing our own static copy
Thanks to everybody who contributed during the freeze. Keep 'em coming!
and back to the old
So I had to move my blog back to port 8080 again. My ISP started blocking port 80 again. I thought it was just the router, and apparently it was, and then verizon probably discovered it and put a more effective block on me. *shrug* who knows. I just know i'm not paying more than $100 a month for a business account, just so i host something for my own convenience.
