About me, my intentions, first program

While I, as a person, am not new to blogging, this is the first time that I have used a site where everything has been done for me. It feels strange, I have always built my websites a designed them the way I wanted. My current project besides this site is solomon – welcome the revolution.

I am trying wordpress for several reasons:

The first, is to see if I will get more traffic. I have problems getting traffic to my other site since it isn’t part of a community.

The second is so that I have a focus. The focus of this site is about computer programs, primarily Windows base programs. There are many people, like myself, who delight in finding a good program, using it, and sharing it with others. My goal is to do this, so if you’re one of those people stick around or suggest programs for me to feature.

With that in mind, the first program I will give to you is Trillian.

Now, one can get this program through download.com, by searching for Trillian, which is how I got it, or one can go to http://www.ceruleanstudios.com/ which is the maker of Trillian.

Trillian that compiled several of the instant messaging programs of today, including AIM, MSN Messenger, and ICQ, along with another that eludes me at the moment.

Trillian has several great features besides the linking of screen names. The first being its smart underlining during messages. Certain words get underlined in green, these words you can hover your mouse over to see the WikiPedia article for. This really helps if you are trying to impress someone and you can pull up quick facts about the topic you are talking about.

Another nice feature about Trillian, or maybe not so nice depending how you use it, is the feature to save all conversations had automatically. This way you can pull up a conversation you have from a week ago and say, “Aha! I told you so!”

With Trillian you can also do things like set all your messengers away at once, bring them back at once, or go invisible.

I also have pictures of Trillian with the contacts list closed, to protect my privacy, and the account manager open with name crossed out in red, also to protect my privacy.

Trillian is a Good program, I would reccomend it to anyone who juggles different instant messenging names.
