Download Windows Live Messenger 9, add custom sounds

by Brad Linder Nov 28th 2007

Microsoft has started allowing beta testers to download version 9 of Windows Live Messenger. But if you aren't one of the few thousand people Microsoft sent a download link to, you can still download the installer thanks to Softpedia.

So what's new in Windows Live Messenger 9 beta? Here are a few of the new features:

Login from several different locations without logging out first.
Create "signature sounds," that your friends will hear when you sign in, or select custom sounds or songs that will play when your friends login. You can choose from a list of sound files or create a 5 second clip from any WMA or MP3 files on your computer.
Use animated GIF files for your display picture

The Softpedia download isn't working for me. I simply downloaded it and tried to run it, but Windows says it doesn't recognize it as a valid install package. Any ideas about what's wrong?

Try the RO server. The US one didn't work for me either.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
