Technology, Books and Other Neat Stuff

The BBC is releasing some of its internal development projects as open source. The first batch of projects includes video codecs and 3D interactive environments alongside more specialised broadcasting specific tools.

Yet more signs of the public service elements of the BBC's charter in action.

Good for them. And for us...

...as now there's a Skype plug-in for Trillian.

Not quite a true standalone tool - it uses the Skype APIs to handle integration, so Skype needs to be running. But you can start calls, and have Skype IM chats without leaving Trillian.

All in all, quite useful.

[Update: Trillian 3.0 and above only - Sorry Alan!]
