I'm writing a miniature IM application that uses joscar to support the AOL Personal Certificates secure IM protocol introduced in Windows AIM 5.2. (It might be in Mac AIM, too; I'm not sure.)
As far as I can tell, there is currently no way for Linux users to securely chat with people using the official AIM client for Windows. My client will fix this situation. (It is in Java, so it will work anywhere, but the focus is on Linux.)
My application is going to have some kind of silly name like Joust Secure IM Lite. If someone has a better name idea, please, tell me.
The client itself is going to be pretty featureless compared to other clients like gaim or Kopete or those kinds of things. All it will have initially is IM and a buddy list and chat rooms. Later on I will probably add secure File Transfer and secure Direct IM.
The client should be ready by next week or so, and I'll probably release an alpha version then.

Posted by: Adam at January 24, 2004 09:43 PMI have built a somewhat higher level API around joscar for this project, and it's ending up to look like what I want jouscar to look like internally. Externally, it does not, but I think some of the code I'm writing now will end up in some form in jouscar. The source will be up on SourceForge, project "joustsim" soon.

Posted by: オンラインカジノ at June 16, 2004 04:41 PMIf a system is administered wisely,
its users will be content.
They enjoy hacking their code
and don't waste time implementing
labor-saving shell scripts.
Since they dearly love their accounts,
they aren't interested in other machines.
There may be telnet, rlogin, and ftp,
but these don't access any hosts.
There may be an arsenal of cracks and malware,
but nobody ever uses them.
People enjoy reading their mail,
take pleasure in being with their newsgroups,
spend weekends working at their terminals,
delight in the doings at the site.
And even though the next system is so close
that users can hear its key clicks and biff beeps,
they are content to die of old age
without ever having gone to see it.
