My Feed is Burning Now

Saturday, February 23rd, 2008

Ok, maybe it’s a period of change for me, so yesterday I’ve added FeedBurner to my blog feed or, to say it better, I’ve added my feed to FeedBurner.

Pidgin Portable 2.3.0

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

Updated with Pidgin 2.3.0 + OTR plugin. You can find it here.

BTW, after having installed the new version, it suffered some crashed but I didn’t have the time to discover the cause (probably it’s the OTR plugin; in fact, after disabling it, Pidgin didn’t crash again but I cannot say it for sure.)

UPDATE: I confirm, it’s the OTR plugin that causes the crash. Disable it for now, or use the previous Pidgin version.
