Damn That IM
What the hell?! I downloaded the latest version of AIM this morning specifically because of the screen name linking and it won't let me do it. It gives me some crap error message about the cookies being disabled. Um... No they're not! I checked about 20 times to make sure I wasn't just imagining they were enabled. Nope. No hallucination about the cookies. They really are enabled. So why the hell isn't it working? And why the hell doesn't AIM have some sort of troubleshooting section for that? Seriously, I think I'm, like the only person to ever have this problem because I cannot find one tiny little speck of information about this anywhere on the web. I've tried restarting my AIM session and restarting my computer. Nothing. Hmm. I'm going to try disabling my cookies, restarting the computer, then (RE)enabling them. Maybe that'll work.
Speaking of downloading... I got rid of my Kazaa yesterday and downloaded Shareaza at Downloads.com. IT'S AD LESS!!! Hooray for no ads! I think the Kazaa adware (Gain) was enabling other spyware to get in because it didn't matter how many times I ran a check and got rid of all the other spyware except for the Gain, there would be a bunch the next time I ran a check. HA! I showed that stupid invasive adware this time.
*Update - The whole idea of disabling, rebooting, and re-enabling didn't work. BUT I did find this "IM Buddy" named Recipe Buddy. You IM it what you want the recipe for and it'll give you a list of recipe links resembling what you typed in.
Example:
typing in "Chicken" will get the reply:
Grilled Chicken Cheez-It® Wraps
Smoked Turkey & Strawberry Spinach Salad
Monumental Muenster Melt
Brunswick Stew
Chutney Glazed Chicken
For more recipes in this category, type "more"...
Or you can type in "Make A Suggestion" and it will do just that. This thing is cool!
