I’ve previously posted a number of tutorials concerning the coolest chat clients in the universe, irssi + bitlbee. Bitlbee has seen some recent improvements, including a rewrite of the jabber codeset and addition of chat-room support for the IM clients. This mean you can now join jabber conference rooms within bitlbee.
I [...]
I’ve been using my gmail account as my primary Jabber account since I switched to Jabber. The more I use it (with bitlbee) the more I realize that Google’s implementation is a bit non-standard which leads to problems.
I’m wondering what Jabber suggestions the world has. Is there a good Jabber server [...]
I wanted to post a note and show my support, yet again, for the Open Discussion day on May 19th. Last year I took part on a personal level and made the switch to Jabber only for IM purposes. I gave some notice to my contacts and even wrote up a quick outline of how [...]
I’ve been hearing about the Irssi IRC client for some time and I finally took some time over the weekend to seriously look into it. After the initial learning curve that often comes with a new application (and a terminal based application at that!) I’m hooked on Irssi. I’m using it as my [...]
I’ve been tinkering more and more lately with irssi (tutorial coming up) as an IRC client and I recently also installed Bitlbee to allow gateway connections to outside IM protocols. Now, I can use my single IRC client to also connect to jabber, msn, etc and don’t need two clients.
Yes, I know there are clients [...]
I spent the afternoon with herlo tinkering & hacking away on our different projects we have. One thing that he has been trying to do is setup Gaim to auto-join the long list of IRC channels that he connects to regularly. I have had this feature setup for quite some time so I [...]
Here is a quick reminder post about how to syncrhonize gaim-encryption keys between multiple machines. Why would you need to do this? If you use gaim at home & at work and want to use encryption you’ll need to synchronize your keys.
Linux to Linux synchronization:
Synchronizing between two Linux machines is as simple as [...]
I’ve been doing a lot of research this week on encryption. GPG, PGP, RSA, DSA.. all that good stuff. I’ll admit I don’t understand the extent of HOW it works. I’m mainly looking at ways to implement it without completely changing the way I interact with my machine & others.
