Oh hey, i'm using Google Talk, Googles new IM service.

[lightdarkness]

It won't be launched until tomorrow, but I found a site that has found a way to connect to their server.

How to set it up with GAIM on Windows/Linux, or Adium on the Mac:
-- For iChat, just enter the information above.
1. Add an account, select "Jabber" as the protocol.
2. Your screen name is everything before the '@gmail.com'.
3. Server is 'gmail.com'.
4. Click "show more options" and make sure "use TLS if available" is checked. Leave "Force old SSL" and "allow plaintext..." unchecked for now. Connection port should be 5222, connection server should be 'talk.google.com' without the quotes.
5. Ta-da! Just login and you should be good-to-go.

I'm already talking to the guy whose weblog I found this from. It's really neat.... don't know if google will be releasing their own client, but things look great from googles end.

http://talk.google.com should have more information tomorrow, enjoy!

EDIT: Picture of me, talking to some random dude, on Google Talk (NOTE: I'M USING GAIM)

Hmm. On Trillian I can get logged in, and connected, but I get a 503 (?) error when I try to IM people.

This looks too hard to do right now. Besides, I have trig homework that i've been putting off for a few hours now that needs to be done (its the first day of school ).
