Well it’s just been released, and so far I love it
Apart from the lack of add-ons (extensions appear to have been renamed) compatible yet, it’s really good. The new skin is nice too, but is gonna need replacing with something that blends in better with my SoftCrystal Linux WindowBlinds theme. There’s a built-in spell checker in text boxes, and much better tab/window handling – it can now remember (or so it says) what tabs and/or windows you had open in your last session, and restore them!
So far, I haven’t noticed any memory leaks – I hope it stays that way! The feeds system is also a lot better – I never really used to use it as it was quite hard to add a new feed so it would show as a pop-up menu – it seems a lot better now
I’ll update this post with any extra stuff I find, as I find it.
Update: There is a new extensions, or rather add-ons manager. It’s a lot nicer than the old one, and it seems to check for updates when you start the browser, and offers to update them then and there, and it doesn’t need a restart (as it’s not yet fully loaded) afterwards
Get Firefox!

I found this great blog – it’s definitely worth reading this page. And when you’re done, download Firefox or Opera, install it and then remove IE

It’s been a while, but Patchou has finally released Beta 1 of the new Messenger Plus! for Windows® Live™ Messenger
A new interface, logo and many new features are present in this beta, although there are a few disabled ones. I’ve found a load of bugs, but they don’t distract from the fun of using MP!L at all!
A lot of people say that the WLM interface is nasty, but once I’ve colorized it to match my current desktop theme, it looks really nice; much nicer than my old MSN Messenger 7.5 skin did.
Nice work Patchou, keep it up!

L33TSig hit 1,000,000 (1 million) hits a few minutes ago, and as promised, I have now released version 1.0 of the client
Release Thread | Download L33TSig
A few new features are being thought about for 1.1 or 2.0, whatever I decide to call the next major new release, but I won’t say much until that gets closer :P
Enjoy!
