I think the ad-hoc messaging is something that could really take off, especially in a university or other big wireless/wired systems. Now we just need a decent open source rendezvous/bonjour instant messenger for win and linux. I don't see anyone working on this...

Wow! Tania is on slashdot. This is how you can tell a nerdling has arrived. Do check out her site when the traffic dies down, her main thing, or internet thing is her fabulous 'zine, the nerdling. It is really inspiring, makes you want to put on a lab coat, mess up your hair and wander around the campus bumping into things. You will love her account of iceland, I still laugh about it, but then I still laugh about Kirk saying "this increases it's power by one to the fourth power" As a disgruntled former scientist, this gives me hope for the future, for a few minutes anyway. Once the slashdot effect has died away, read the nerdling!
