Project Insomnia

Project Insomnia is many things, but in this context it is simply a "braindump" of whatever I happen to be thinking/reading/watching/doing at the moment. Parental guidance suggested.

Yahoo blocks Trillian... again

ZDNet reports that Yahoo is once again blocking connections from Trillian (the alternative multi-protocol client). Yahoo tried this a few times last year and it looks like they're trying again. Cerulean, maker of Trillian, employs some excellent protocol engineers, who I have no doubt will quickly figure out Yahoo's latest obfuscation and release a patch.

Until then, if you're on Yahoo and need to get in touch with me, use the email form at the bottom of this page, or find me on AIM instead.

Edit: Change your Y!IM host from scs.msg.yahoo.com to scs.yahoo.com, port 5050, and it should work. This is on Trillian 0.74H, not Pro.

Note: This post is from June, 2004. For current updates on making Trillian work with Yahoo, go to Cerulean Studios.
