after the upgrade to jaguar, bad things started to happen with my previously
favorite
os x

instant messaging client of choice,
fire, so i started scouting for a new
messaging client.

ichat

looks sort-of adequate, but lack of
jabber

support is a non-starter [ ironic, given the rumors that it uses
the protocol internally ]. just when things were looking pretty dim
[
jabberfox

– i’m talking to you ], a friend points me to
proteus

, which is so good, it’s likely going to get some money from after
a few more days of testing.

did i mention that the ability to bring
ssl and jabber makes me happy [ although i haven’t tried it yet, so
hopefully i won’t be eating my words later today ]?
