This morning I tried to connect to MSN with my preferred client pidgin, which uses the newest MSN protocol version 15. But it seems that Microsoft changed something, that does not allow clients using this version of the protocol to download the Address Book. Very clever move. That includes Microsoft’s own versions of Live messenger.
To ommit this you have to use a client with an older version of the MSNP.
Pidgin users can use msn-pecan atm. Get it at http://code.google.com/p/msn-pecan/

I have been saving for a new PC for quite a while now. For the last couple of years I have been using laptops, but I kind of miss playing some games with friends, and my current laptop my Thinkpad X60 Tablet is not capable of much gaming.
So I ordered the following parts:
- CPU: Core i7 920, 2.66 GHz
- Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5
- RAM: Corsair XMS3 3x1GB DDR1333 CL9 (TR3X3G1333C9)
- GFX: ASUS ATI Radeon 4850
- HDD: Samsung Spinpoint F1 500GB
- Case: Antec Nine Hundred
- PSU: Corsiar TX650
I also ordered following accessories:
- BenQ 22″ (1920×1080) – E2200 HDA
- Microsoft Comfor Curve 2000 Keyboard
- Logitech MX400 mouse
Now I just have to wait for it to arrive.
