Are you using ? I am one of Google Talker. It is very stable and reliable comparing to MSN. Since 2 weeks ago, I have continuously convinced lots of my friends to join Google Talk network. All of them loves it. Yes, all of them. Anyway, some of them don’t like to install Google Talk client on his machine because they already run other IM, e.g., MSN, Yahoo, ICQ, and etc. Fortunately, they are glad to talk via Gmail. Otherwise, some of them are chatting via  since Google Talk is XMPP compliant IM. Today, Google  statistics according to third party clients how they are popular.

If you are using ZyXEL Prestige 650 Series, e.g. Prestige 650-R, like me, you must be aware of its limitation. According to its support note, this router does not limit the number of the users but the number of the sessions. In particular, the Prestige 650 supports concurrent 1024 sessions. A session is an end-to-end pair of two IP addresses. For example, whenever you view a web page, you are probably establishing 1 to 10 sessions depending on browser settings, internal frames, and images in that page. Instant messengers hold at least one connection. Assuming that a machine will always establish at least 10 connections, as a result, there are approximately 500 sessions for 50 machines. For more precisely, you can view the active sessions using telnet interface. Just follow below procedure.

Bloggers may want to upgrade themselves to be Audio Bloggers or Video Bloggers aka Vblogger. Anyway, media bloggers must encounter limited space problem. Everything has its cost. Blogger.com, powered by Google, allows only text and image via Picasa. If you are using web hosting services or blog hosting services, you have to pay for space and also bandwidth. Fortunately, Google offers Google Video service which allows us to upload our own video to host at Google. It is totally free of charge. You can even charge watchers by your price. In the past, you may be able to just place links to Google Video, e.g., . But from now on, you can embed the video inside your web directly!

Build 406 seems to be okay for general usage. Anyway, I got some bug reports last night. One of the bug is unacceptable so I have to release build 408 today. I recommend all you to upgrade as soon as possible to prevent malfunction.
