Forever Geek is reporting today that my favorite instant messaging program Gaim is now known as Pidgin. I downloaded 2.0 this morning and so far I am really impressed. The interface is nice and, as always, I can incorporate all of my messaging screen names into one program (which at this point is only AIM and IRC). This is pretty superficial, but my favorite part so far is that they changed the noise you get when you receive a message to something quiet and not as obnoxious as the previous one. It might seem trivial, but I am thrilled to be able to keep the sound turned on for the new version.
