Grant, the best network admin

Grant, the best network admin around (Network Roads) - got the final pieces of my Instant Message client up and running today, mainly the ICQ section. This product - Trillian - is an extremely useful piece of tech, it merges my MSN, ICQ and Yahoo instant messaging accounts into one unified interface (it also handles AOL AIM and IRC if you had those accounts). It’s a great concept and I wish the major system carriers could figure out a way to make their systems fully interopable; I might even pay for it. At a minimum, Trillian’s getting a paypal donation from me. By the way, I think Trillian represents the future (as I often harp on about it) in client based programs that operate over the internet. It brings multiple services and systems into one interface that a user can configure and centralize to their personal tastes. Data management is the next challenge and our firm is already working on similar types of projects - at least from a design perspective.
