Trillian Question
-
Alright - I was finally dragged into this IM crap because I have to communicate with a programmer in Seattle. How do I get Trillian to stop underlining words? (I hate this IM stuff.)

I used to use trillian and loved that it was a great alternative to having 6 different IM windows open. However, since you are just getting into it, I would recommend you switch to Miranda IM. Does everything that Trillian does, plus its free (and open source) Unfortunately I don't have a solution to your problem with underlining since I haven't used trillian for years at this point.

I just did that. "Trillian" is too gay to say too many times too.

Apparently it connects to some wiki and underlines all the words found in that wiki. No worries though, I killed it off and installed Miranda.

Imagine that you are hired to build a bridge over a river. The river gets slightly wider every day; sometimes it shrinks but nobody can predict when. Your contract says you can't use concrete or steel - the client only provides timber and cut stone (but won't tell you what kind). Gravity changes from hour to hour, as does the viscosity of air. Your only tools are a hacksaw, a chainsaw, a rubber mallet, and a length of rope. Welcome to my world. -Me explaining my job to an engineer
