MSN Messenger 6.2 patch

i like to fuck with pre-compiled stuff in Windows and alter how things work. there are times when I run a program and find that something is spelled wrong, or an image doesnt align correctly - and i know i can fix it. i've used the program called Resource Hacker a lot on my system, changing things all over.

one of the programs that has bothered me recently is MSN Messenger 6.x, running with Messenger Plus!. there are so many menu items, that when you resize the program window to a decent size, the Menu wraps around to two lines.

using Resource Hacker, i was able to get my MSN Messenger 6.2 window to look like this:


(keep in mind that i'm also using Messenger Plus!, which removes the ads).

i've uploaded the modified DLL that changes the menu layout, and currently have two versions of the DLL, for MSN Messenger 6.2.0133 and 6.2.0137 available.

you can get a patched DLL here

i got Gmail!

i just got an invite from someone already using the Gmail service, and got myself a Gmail account now!

the address is: xenomorph AT gmail.com. (i'm typing it like that in the hope that spam spiders don't pick it up.)

you can visit HERE to read a bit about Gmail. it's basically an e-mail service provided by Google that offers 1 Gigabyte of e-mail storage (compared to just a few megs from services like Hotmail or Yahoo).

the Gmail service is in a closed testing state right now, so you can only get an account by first receiving an invitation from someone who already has an account.
