Problem Signing into Yahoo with Pidgin

It’s been impossible signing into Yahoo the past few days with my Pidgin.  Thanks to Celtic Wolf for this post:

Note: The problems described in this document are fixed in Pidgin 2.5.7.  You should upgrade immediately to continue using Yahoo! IM.

As of June 17, 2009, Pidgin users are having trouble connecting to Yahoo! IM accounts.  Here is a summary of the problem:

Yahoo! appears to be upgrading their servers to a new version of their software.  This new version requires a new authentication method.  The latest version of Pidgin, 2.5.6, does not support this new authentication method.  The next version, 2.6.0, will, but it has not yet been released. Version 2.5.7 does.  To continue using Yahoo! IM, upgrade to this version.  See the Pidgin web-site for details.

The domain name that is used to connect to Yahoo! servers is "scs.msg.yahoo.com".  This domain name is actually mapped to multiple servers.  Some of these servers have been upgraded, while others haven’t.  As a result, you may see intermittent failures, or you may fail every time, while your neighbor logs in successfully.  It’s effectively a roll of the dice.

The following addresses appear to work:

• cs101.msg.mud.yahoo.com
• 66.163.181.172

66.163.181.172 worked for me. To read more click here.

 

EDIT

The fix stopped working some time today.  I decided to download the newest Pidgin (2.5.7) and am using the following pager server: scs.msg.yahoo.com, so far so good!

ColourLovers + Adobe AIR = Desktop Color Finder

I just discovered some useful Adobe Air apps.  The first one was TweetDeck, and just today I found a color finder app that allows you to search through ColourLovers’ database of user submitted patterns, palettes, and colors.  This is a pretty neat tool for design inspiration, and color combo ideas.

 

If you want to get this, download Adobe AIR first, then click here.

Green Tea Coke Anyone?

“Green tea-flavored Coca-Cola will hit Japanese stores June 8, Coca Cola (Japan) Co. spokesman Katsuya Sato said Thursday. It contains tea antioxidants called catechins, leaves a slight green tea aftertaste and is mainly targeted at health-conscious women in their 20s and 30s, Sato said.”

I love a cup of good green tea, i wear Green Tea scent by Elizabeth Arden, I super heart green tea soy ice cream, I’ve had several green tea fraps in this lifetime, so I’m a bit curious about the soda.  I guess I’ll at least try it… Hmmm.

This thing of beauty, along with all of the items in her online shop, are now sold out.  Ugh.  It is my dream to own one of her pieces someday….  Her laser-cut wood pieces are awesome too! Sigh.

Make Your Favicons

Convertico.com is my pick for creating favicons for websites.  For those of you who are not familiar with favicons: these are the icons that appear beside a website’s URL in browsers.

I was looking for a free app that does the job, but Convertico.com is easier to use and saves you time/disk space.  What it does is converts your png files to ico and vice versa without any hassle. Yay!
