A quick search across the Trillian user forums indicates that some security measure by AOL broke the AIM-connectin' feature of Trillian. Unfortunate.
Minimal research on the subject indicates that a security hole being fixed may have had the unfortunate side effect of this; or, possibly, AOL decided to fix Trillian while it fixed a security hole.
It's a war they don't want.
Anyway, the Monastery is down, Trillian's 1/5th down...I guess my only real option is go home and get some actual *shudder* work done.
After, of course, another one of my special pizzas. :D I call 'em special because I figured out some neat things. First, the "pizza spice" from the local health food store is delicious; second, ground-up Brown Sugar 'n' Honey Total cereal makes sweet, luscious bread crumbs. The whole pizza has a sweet underbelly now, and since I got the hang of timing it properly, it goes in quick, comes out just done, and doesn't hang around too long. Munch munch munch.
Learning to cook was such a good idea.
