FoxBoom!

I signed up for reQall yesterday, and I noticed it has a Jabber interface for adding notes and events and getting reminders, so I set it up.

(Incidentally, the website doesn’t actually mention the reQall Jabber ID, so I wrote to their technical support. They got back really quickly, and it’s “reqall@im.reqall.com”.)

The problem was, reQall didn’t authorise my Jabber subscription. Then I realised, things had been rather quiet on Jabber since I moved to Google Apps. So I did a bit of research, and found this artlcle on enabling users to chat outside the Google Talk network. But since I can’t modify my domains SRV records with 123-Reg, I seem a little stuck.

And so, I’ve gone back to “foxboom@googlemail.com” for Jabber. reQall’s working great, and I’m seeing more people online than I have for ages.

I discovered two things on Facebook.

1. Dude I’ve been trying to see is in a relationship. But looking at his partner, I’m not his type anyway.
2. My Jabber ID was out of date. It’s jon@foxboom.com and nothing else.

It’s like, OMG, what’s wrong with me?

I bought some gin on the way home, but I couldn’t find any tonic water. Crazy!

With thanks to Google Apps For My Domain, my Jabber ID is now the same as my e-mail address, “jon@foxboom.com”.

Happy New Year, mailbox-heads!

Hey guys, if any of you have got me on your AIM lists, can you let me know what AIM names you have of mine?

“joneccleston@mac.com” is going to expire, and I don’t know whether to create a new AIM name or go back to a previous forgotten one.

My first choice for IM is still foxboom@googlemail.com on Jabber (i.e. Google Talk, LJ Talk, etc.), but AIM is a close second-choice just because I don’t have to launch anything else outside of iChat.
