Anyone master all that Jabber stuff yet? Thought I'd brave some if it as Kicq is painful to use.... I've started with the PERL client Jarl - hmm... I also started with the server charente.de which might have been a mistake - est is alles im Deutsch - vorsprung durch Instant Messaging and all that. So far I have sent messages to Kicq, but replies don't work. Simon W (old ICQ) 15753212 Simon W (new ICQ) - trying to use from Jabber 116952768 So I can message 15753212 (When I appear both online and offline as 116952768) but I can't reply. The online/offline stuff seems to work well enough, just messages. And Nick the fake Norweigan is "Not Available" and his was the first IM details I had to hand. Although it kindly tells me he his client think it is running on a 2.4.7 Kernel in his abscence - eeek what sort of information am I leaking with this software I wonder....
Don't worry about it, your not leaking any info about yourself, that's the local jabber server leaking it's details which is acceptable unless you're the admin of said box... ;) feel free to try our server - jabber.ex.ac.uk. Its currently one of the most uptodate & reliable jabber servers out there - we've got transports for all the major IM systems (sans IRC atm), and more importantly, it seems to be relativly stable. I would also _strongly_ either using Gabber (gtk) or Psi (QT3 looking good under KDE with docking support) The other clients are OK, but just nowhere near as mature......
Anyway IM users here message me, and explain what I'm doing wrong. Where do I find Jabber conference group names, or is this another Jarl failing? What JID do I use for a IRC chat "????@irc.charente.de" ?
I suspect IRC is broken on charente.de as well ;)
