Adding your Facebook account as a Jabber Account to your IM Client

Have an Instant Messaging program that allows you to multiple accounts ( Trillan, iChat, beejive, empathy IM, etc.) but doesn't support facebook chat or has problems connecting with facebook chat? I have figured out how you can add your facebook account as a jabber account.  Just use your facebook user name (that's the portion that comes after www.facebook.com/... on your facebook url) @chat.facebook.com. So for example my facebook url is www.facebook.com/jasonmatthewdarr. So my jabber account would be jasonmatthewdarr@chat.facebook.com.  Then use your facebook password as the the password and now you can be distracted by your friends without even being logged into facebook!

Google Voice

I am not exaggerating when I say Google Voice has changed my life. There's so many cool things you can do on it. Free SMS. An internet record of every single text message and voice mail. Personalized voice mail greetings. Transcribed voice mails. You can actually block callers. Cheap international rates. Etc. Request your invitation.

Embracing the negative & the positive/ I like My Life

I really do. Of course there are things I would like to change but I think I've reacted to things the most true to myself that I can and that has made all the difference. To do this I've had to make decisions that were not  enjoyable at the time and still aren't easy to think about. I think I am soon going to make some more of those decisions.
