Personal thoughts. The diary or just a blog of my thoughts. |

14.11.2024 - When I read
the news that ICQ was shutted down 5 months ago, it was a good news to
see that Mail.ru put it out of misery, like it's correct way. Overall,
ICQ was like a major thing and popular instant messenger from the 90s. I
even tried to try it myself when I was a kid and it was like surreal and
unknown world of internet. As I grown up I wished there was alternative
for it and suprisingly there is. Jabber is similar to ICQ and it's also
like XMP. Seems to be more open, decentralized and even compatible to
the games too. But with specific stuff and some Jabbers supports. And I
decided to use it as my main messenger, just because it has similar vibe
of ICQ. When I saw it I assumed it was a some
sort of modern alternative of Discord. But it's not, it's a lot older
and it's from 1999. So I registered one of the Jabbers and took a client
called Miranda NG. And man, it looks awesome. It has customization to
the client and as well the sounds. Wonder in the future if we'll return
back to the early 2000s era to use old messengers like Jabber, to
re-experience the old school messengers and maybe use it for young
generations as the safe way to communicate, before they'll advance to
adulthood. 2.12.2024 - So it's Quake 3 Arena birthday and it's nice. But sad to see that this game isn't celebrated consider how dead it is. Makes me sad that nobody even tried celebrate. I wish I would celebrate it with my homies, although I'm not sure if they'll hop in in weekends with me to play it. But I do wish to have some fun with. Perhaps in the retro clubs will celebrate it too? Man, I'm so itchy to play with my friends. |
