The logic of MSN & iChat

Thanks to André Pang, I just discovered I can use iChat to talk to the MSN Messenger Network. Sweet. I'm not sure its a good thing as I largely use iChat for work and thus only log into MSN when I get home. Then again, the great thing with iChat is you can easily disable networks... [ponders]

(and André, I still haven't read the book... but I'll get to it this weekend!)

BTW, I installed Logic 7.2 last night. Wow. This upgrade was 8 gigs! But features some beautifully subtle UI changes that help the intuitiveness of the program. The new 'save project' feature is especially welcome. It collects all audio recordings, all sampler instruments, and all plugin setting sand dumps them into one directory. Wow. Archiving made easy. I've ALWAYS had problems with archiving my music projects. I can never get full playback of the work I did under Cubase, because of the softsynths and plugins I used. Its one of the reasons I switched to Logic Pro -- I wanted to limit my soft synths, samplers and plugins to what was 'in the box', so I could open up my projects in the future... easily. Ironically, the only old projects I can playback easily were what I made using PlayerPro, a music tracker for the mac... and those tracks sounds like arse.
