MSN + linux
 

After seeing ages ago that you could use *any* email for msn, I thought Id
be a cheeky prick and try and register one email addy from one of my dyndns
domains...
why not I say :-)
Well sure enough all I needed to do to get a passport was click the wee link
in a conformation mail, well maybe not, that was (checking the email date)
16.01.06 (yeah back in January).
Of course I emailed Microsoft support and got a very friendly person who
emailed me back this (its a portion of the email)

I emailed them back, telling them I was *still* having trouble, but never
heard back *shrugs*
That was until today, for no reason at all (well ok I just installed a
jabber server on my lan for some testing) I tryed logging into my msn
account with kopete (Im allowed to yeah?) and VOILA! the damn thing logged
in, I got a hell of a fright!
(So now Im bragging about my msn being a dyndns domain and run on linux that
means (murphys law prevailing) that this a once and only
Still, for the moment... Im *almost* leet :-)
