[Guest] [Hentaya]: Good thing the shoutbox doesn't have timestamps.
[Guest] [ravensong]: Is WIM going to be updated for the new patch? It gets a LUA error every time people log on bnet or pst me, because "
[Guest] [ravensong]: "surname" is now a nil value.
[Guest] [Dethedrus]: Since WiM is obviously quite dead, is there ANYTHING else out there that even comes close to replicating it's functionality?
[Guest] [Harshmage]: So the "surname" can be removed from the realID detection, in WIM.lua
[Guest] [Harshmage]: but fixing the tutorial popup and other errors is probably not going to happen without a major rework
[Guest] [menace97]: quite dead?
[Guest] [Nytetears]: I am trying out tell track I wish WIM would update I much prefer it but there are too many errors to try and use it now
[Guest] [Erudan]: Wim is being updated on Curse.
[Guest] [Chiaki]: Hello guys! I'm the one who did the German translation of WIM. The translation is somewhat old so tell me where to provide a new version .
[DevTeam] [lothaer]: Check out my new post in the General Discussion. Please report any errors as I can't check them myself.
lothaer pokes Pazza. Hey!
lothaer is overcome with boredom. Oh the drudgery!
lothaer roars with bestial vigor. So fierce!
lothaer cries.
lothaer falls asleep. Zzzzzzz.
lothaer , in quiet contemplation, mourns the loss of the dead.
lothaer tells a joke.
lothaer yawns sleepily.

I didn't see any request for your WIM to be supported in Windows XP outside of WOW.  I like the profile of WIM without all that bs MS crap attached.  So, is it possible that you have or could implement a WIM XP.  That would be awesome.  Thanks

[lothaer]

WIM has only ever been a mod to be used inside of World of Wacraft nothing more.

digsby is lame just like MS IM.  So, fine, I guess you dont have what it takes to make one for windows.  Too bad, I like the low profile interface and how I can change the size of windows and such.  Ah well, some ideas just never come to fruition LOL.  At least it works in WOW.  But I am leaving wow soon.  It's pretty boring after you get to 80.  And the people on the game seem like such elitist jerks.  GS this and experience that.  Heaven forbid you are new and trying to better your toon.  So long and thanks for all the fish (Douglas Adams  )

If it were easy, I'm sure someone would do it, however writing a program for Windows, and writing an addon for WoW are like addition and quantum physics. Sure, they both contain math and numbers, but they're totally different animals.

[jenifaerie]

you are right of course.  writing for windows using internet protocol and such is certainly a bear.  I have always wished I could create a better OS.  Not something like the never ending slew of broken OSes from MS.  Nor would it be like macintoshes.  Do you remember the movie Minority Report?  That type of interface would be so awesome and extremely usable. 

So, Zeke, you think about quantum physics.  I do as well.  Seems we could use a nice boost to our computer systems in the near future.  Imagine the power of such a system and the applications we could create.

Anyway, I am looking into my own type of IM system.  I like the WIM interface, compact, concise, discreet.  I am not much of a titterer or faceook user.  Too much personal information being spread without real privacy constraints.  Where is our humanity going at such exponential leaps?

I hope my diatribe is not boring or such.  Just trying to garner conversation about future possibilities.  Later all.

There are many simple and clutterless IM clients around.

Check out Miranda IM or Pidgin.
Miranda IM is really simple and clean. No special features unless you install plugins.
Pidgin is less simple, it has a lot more features but it isn't cluttered. (Needs more RAM because of GTK+, though)

If you're looking for a simple chat network, try Jabber. Check Wikipedia for more information on that one.

I hope this helps you a little.

So long,
Cyntio
