Tonight we’ve released Pidgin 2.0.0beta7. This is the last in our long series of betas. We anticipate a final release later this week.

Famous last words? Ah, well, let us check back “later this week”, I suppose.

In short, my notebook appears to be suffering from some display drivers that’s preventing me from using it. I mean, my Fujitsu is even freezing up when I’m tinkering around in my BIOS…I mean, you just know something’s wrong when your computer freezes while you’re in the damn BIOS configuration screen.

I bought this notebook in late February in 2005 about a week after my Inspiron 8600 got stole and it has served me well for these past two years. Abuse may have been a factor in its untimely demise, really. I mean, given the amount of time I spend in front of my notebook, it’s as if a normal user has been using it for five years, I dare say.

Anyway, I am typing this from my brother’s notebook and have no plans to purchase a new notebook at the moment as aforementioned in my previous blog posts. I will merely “suck it up” for now until I get a notebook from IBM two weeks later. Blogging activity will likely drop as a result during this time span, at least, I certainly won’t be writing any entries for my anime shows.
