SIP Login from Trillian

Well another wave of good things from Trillian, after the silent release of a stable Jabber.DLL for Jabber communications (and the ability to login to Google Talk) I am now also happy to report that I'm able to login to our companies Microsoft Only Live Communications Server from Trillian.

Microsoft supports access to their network via TLS and SIP. So the SIP plugin for Trillian with a little coaxing was able to do the trick. I am able to see my buddy list and exchange messages with them. Nothing super fancy, but good for 99% of what I want to do at work. I know voice is up and coming but seriously until we all geek out and wear headphones, or get microphones that properly don't get feedback from my speakers that is a bit off... but I digress.

You can download it here: http://zoosmart.us/sip/

So the settings were pretty clear...

user: [email protected]
Windows login: DOMAINemail

(x) TLS

Server: LCS.ADDomain.company.com

I tried using the ip address, and it didn't really like that. I think it needs the DNS name of the machine so that it can properly look up the SRV records in DNS.

Video PodCasts onto your PSP

One of the interesting things about the new Video iPod is the ability to subscribe to Video Podcasts, and have the ability to sync them to your Video iPod... this all assumes that you have an Video iPod, which I don't. But I do have a excellent Sony PSP, which actually has a larger screen. I have also found that the most recent Google Video site, allows you to download the uploaded content in PSP format as well as iPod. So I set about trying to make this work

Bottom line... I now can podcast the Suicide Girls Video and transcode it into PSP format and have an excellent viewing experience on my PSP. There are notes on how to do the same with the DVD's in my cabinet... but that is another weekend project.

Spongebob meets ED from Iron Maiden

Not much to this entry, but think of all the Album Art for Iron Maiden albums... but rather than Ed in it, its Sponge Bob. 🙂

My hurt back

I don't have time to update all the details about how I hurt my back, or how I'm doing, but I thought I would share a handful of pictures that atleast show WHAT happened. The first picture of the two shows a part of the nerve column where it ISN'T herniated... the second picture shows how the nerve column becomes 'pinched' by the herniated disc.
