My latest addiction

Post #50,519 by ben_tilly 9/4/02 9:38:56 PM Reply	My latest addiction While the server was down my nephew came visiting. He asked for access to aim, so I installed gaim. And then at Peter's urging I got an account. So now I have a bunch of names from Peter and have wasted too much time chatting. If any of you want to add yourselves to that list, my login is benjtilly.

Post #50,614 by jlalexander 9/5/02 11:05:27 AM Reply	Trillian... ...all the way! I had tried to use it a few years ago and it was really rough. Then, one day, I just got fed up with having every-freaking-IM-program installed on my machine. I broke down and tried it again to find that the interface was greatly improved, and much more usable. So, I've been a big fan ever since. :) -Jason ---- My pid is Inigo Montoya. You "killed -9" my parent process. Prepare to vi.

It's XML-based IM, both server and client available on multiple platforms, plus it can SSL encryption. A company that I deal with a lot runs their own server for corporate communications, and it works great! You could run your own Jabber server at the school for student and faculty use only :) This might be something that zIWT could use too... Forgot to add, I'm on AIM as ToniasHub, and ICQ aa 2569633. ----- Steve Edited by Steve Lowe Sept. 9, 2002, 12:50:52 AM EDT Expand All History
Post #51,088 by tjsinclair 9/9/02 10:55:25 AM Reply	Re: Jabber I've played with Jabber, mainly as something to add to my UNIX sysadmin class project. It's pretty neat and not that hard to set up. However, just about all of my students run Windows and if they have to download and install a new IM client, chances are they're not going to. I agree, though, Jabber is great for intranet messaging since you can control your own server and not have the messages going out over the Internet.
