Ok – so I’ve been looking at Google Talk all evening and thought I’d try it out. First, it will not run on Win98, only 2000, XP and 2003 are supported. It installs using crossover office (4.2) and starts. You get to see the main login screen. On any button click there is an internal error and the program vanishes.

A note for those of you using Google Adsense
You’ve probably noticed the Google Adsense ads throughout the site. I have a couple of tools that I use to monitor adsense and one is a firefox plugin that tracks impressions. This afternoon it went to zero suddenly which had me investigate. It looks as though adsense has changed their reporting just slightly this afternoon.

The passing of Dr. Bob Moog
CNN and others note the passing of Robert “Bob” Moog today. He was really a pioneer of the synthesizer. He has lived in Asheville for some years. I remember way back in grade school he came to our school and demonstrated one of his early synthesizers I think it had been the minimoog. (It’s so many years I can’t recall). I do recall him demonstrating the different synthesized sounds he could get by combining different waveforms. This was about the time that electronic keyboards were just starting to become popular.

Steganography with flickr
This caught my attention for some reason. I guess because steganography is such an unusual word and because the list of uses has been covered so much in the news. I found this article talking about how someone tested to see if there was any kind of filtering on flickr for images containing documents hidden using steganography.

Google adds more languages
Well, of course, you know that Google offers search services in a long list of languages.
