One of my favorite browsers, Mozilla Firefox, will release their next version 1.5 on November 29th

I found this cool software while I was searching for something else. What is it? Well read on…

Yahoo Pal is an add-on program for the popular IM software Yahoo! Messenger. It adds some features and bypasses some limitation imposed by Yahoo! Messenger, and that can make your IM more interesting.

Yahoo! Pal is an invisible program, it will automatically attach to running Yahoo! Messenger and new Yahoo! Messengers you run after Yahoo! Pal, and add menu bar to the Yahoo! Messenger windows. You can also quit it by clicking its menu.

Features:

• Allow multiple accounts on the same computer: By default, only one account is allowed to logon on one machine. If you have more than one Yahoo! IM account, it is definitely a problem. With Yahoo! Pal, you can log on all of your Yahoo! IM accounts if you want.
• Automatically reply when you are away: Although you can specify customized status in Yahoo! Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger won’t do auto reply for you when you are away. With Yahoo! Pal, you can specify a customized message as auto reply message, Yahoo! Pal will automatically send it for you when you enable the auto reply function in Yahoo! Pal. You can specify different auto reply messages for different accounts on the same machine.
• Hotkey to hide Yahoo! Messengers windows: To protect your conversations, you can define a hotkey for special function. Once this hotkey is pressed, all existing Yahoo! Windows including the system bar icons will be hidden automatically. If your friend sends IM to you when you already hide Yahoo!, the new IM window won’t pop up. Press the hotkey again, all Yahoo! Windows and system bar icons will appear.
• Send a random quote to your friend: Yahoo! Pal is able to print a random, hopefully interesting, adage or quote. If you used UNIX fortune before, you will have more idea about this function. Yahoo! Pal stores over 16000 quotes and adages. They cover art, computers, cookie, definitions, drugs, education, ethnic, food, fortunes, humorists, kids, law, linuxcookie, literature, love, magic, medicine, men-women, news, people, pets, platitudes, politics, riddles, science, songs-poems, sports, startrek, wisdom, work and miscellaneous. Most of them are inoffensive, and other are offensive. You can send inoffensive or offensive ones to your friend depending on your relationship with your friend.

I installed a new theme today

The next GTA sequel, GTA Liberty City Stories has been released for PS2

No news on when it will be released for PC

Grand Theft Auto San Andreas is my current favorite game.

I am a huge fan of Rockstar. I bought San Andreas only one week before and yet have

reached the Flight school part in the abandoned air field.

The Flight school mission is quite hard for me and I have stopped playing it.

Now I spent some of my time online by downloading the various mods from GTA Garage

The mods there are really worth checking out

My Opera browser version 8.5 keeps crashing whenever I open 10 tabs
Maybe its time to upgrade to the latest version 8.5.1

Among all the messengers I have used, Yahoo! Messenger is the best. It delivers the best chatting experience.

Its interface is well laid out (besides the many buttons). Yahoo! Messenger has smileys to express almost any expression one would want to convey.

But Yahoo’s IM is so popular that it has a growing number of booters and viruses on the network.

Hence I use a program called Y!TunnelPro which blocks all booters. The program has a lot of features like spam guard, controlling invitations from buddies, safeusers ,chat users and unknown users,etc.

The ads that appear in the Yahoo! Messenger windows really irritate me. When refreshed they change their size and sometimes take more than half of the multi-user chat window.

I use Y.addsremover to remove all annoying unwanted Yahoo! ads. Using the program we can remove all yahoo! adds including webcam window ads.

I sometimes use NoBuddy to remove my yahoo id from another users friends list.

If you want to run multiple instances of Yahoo! Messenger you can use MultiYahoo.
