Advice on playing Trillian in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy adaption?
Q. Okay, so my drama class and I recently decided to adapt the novel by the wonderful DA into a short play. I've been chosen to play the character of Trillian. I think she's an awesome character. Does anyone have any advice or ideas to share on how I should be playing her? Thanks!

A. If I were you, I'd try to play it like Zooey Deschanel from the live action movie. She played the character excellently. Tricia Mc Millan (Trillian) was witty, a little sarcastic and had a very dry sense of humor. Make sure when Arthur Dent is around you always give him a look like he's a complete idiot (because he most often comes off as one).

Does anybody know when Trillian Astra will be released to everyone, not just alpha testers?
Q. I love Trillian, and I've been waiting a while for Astra. I know that Cerulean Studios probably posted a blog about this, but I don't really feel like sifting through all of their blogs. Thanks!

How do you get Trillian to set you as away when you shut your laptop lid?
Q. I am using the latest version of Trillian on my laptop. I want for Trillian to automatically set itself as away when I close my laptop lid and automatically come up as back when I open my laptop lid back up. I tried setting up an automation rule using a hot key. When I click to assign the hot key I just press the button that gets depressed when you shut the laptop lid. This works to set trillian to away when the laptop lid is down, but I don't know how to get it to automatically sent me as back when I open the lid.

Why has Trillian stopped showing the user status icons?
Q. Even though many of my buddies' status is set as 'away' Trillian continues to show the 'yellow sun' icon indicating that they are available. This began happening after i received an error message while starting up Trillian. I don't recall what the specific error message said. Any advice on how to bring back the 'brb' icons would be awesome.

A. Open your Trillian, and click on Help, then 'Check For Updates' to see if there is a newer version available. If not, you may need to reinstall it.

How do you make video chat work with either AIM 6.8 or Trillian Pro work with i Chat?
Q. I just got a webcam and am trying to talk to a friend who has a Mac but we cannot establish a video connection. I'm using the Microsoft Lifecam NS-6000 I believe. Whenever we try to establish a connection it just says "An error has occurred." I set up the clients to accept the video and audio as this camera, so I am completely lost as to what to do.

why do both qnext and trillian have issues connecting to my MSN accounts?
Q. Both trillian and qnext instant messengers seem to have issues with MSN/WLM instant messaging accounts on my computer. In trillian the only way i can log into my MSN accounts is by setting my status to "away" and in qnext no matter how many times i correctly enter my password it tells me that its incorrect. Any ideas? I'm running windows XP SP3 RC2. Any ideas how to fix it?

A. MSN changes the way clients log in quite often to break these other messenging clients as MSN wants people to use their own client.

Is there a way to keep my Trillian app connected even when my i Pod Touch is locked?
Q. I'm not really sure if it's possible, but is there any way that I can keep my app for Trillian connected even when my i Pod Touch is locked? As it is now, it seems to disconnect once my i Pod locks, and so I'm only notified of new messages upon unlocking it again. I'd love to be able to receive some sort of indication even with the i Pod locked that I have a new message, if possible.

Can Trillion/Trillian messenger read other messenger archives?

How do you aceept file transfers in Trillian?
Q. I can't accept file transfers in Trillian at all, I can sometimes send things out to others, but when they send things back, I am now not able to accept them anymore. Also, with direct connect on aim, if someone else establishes the connection, I can't accept it at all, I have to break the connection and establish my own for it to properly work.

A. You can try here, but if you cant get it from the trillian website, I am unsure if any other links will work.Your best bet would be to download it at home and then bring it in a disk/usb drive. However two things to note, 1) they will probably have a watch on outbound traffic and thus will be able to see you are using a non approved program. This can get you into trouble 2) You might not even be able to install the program, since if its a work computer you might not have admin privileges.
