Re: Messenger for desktop

There is a hangouts extension for firefox as well. IT seems easier to just log in to gmail or use a phone. dkeg: are you suggesting that it is possible to still do google instant messanging through pidgin? I might install this later. I also use hangouts for google voice sms, It might be nice to use ...

Messenger for desktop

Good idea, bad implementation... 300MB memory heap for a messenger..uses "a" web browser...to implement itself. It appears to come with an implementation of the chrome browser. Apparently it also creates an open TCP socket for this? Even though its on the local loopback interface, it seems...

I ended up getting a small contract to retrofit a few of them into a custom case and create a very small debian build to...
