Hi, I'm blogger Madeline F. You may remember me from such posts as, "Honk twice is you realize that your car is on fire", and... ...Damn it, I should have held off for this intro.

( Hand signals! Nice ones! )

And, continuing last post's one-post trend, I have a completely different bit of info to convey here: my uncle is looking for an IM client to suggest for his work. He says: "Years ago there was a client (Trillium, I think) that could talk to all the major IM flavors. Is it still the pan-client-of-choice, or is there a better one out there now? Do any of them allow interoperability w/ texting to/from cell phones? (We're deploying our whole group all over the country full time for the next several months, and we need a universal way to keep in touch realtime.)" I don't chat, but I know some of you do. Any suggestions?
