Good afternoon,

just got some news from Microsoft... apparently they apprciate what I'm doing with Messenger... I'm very surprized but hey, that's a very good news (for me at least ). Apparently, there was some internal problems at Microsoft which resulted in the non-update of the API documentation. Now that they know that it causes a lot of problems to some people they are supposed to do what they have to do to solve the problem... great!

In the mean time I've completed the new Personalized Status feature (the old Perso Away renamed). I know it can seems to have taken a lot of time for this single feature (and it was not much improved since last version) but in some ways it's related to multi color/format text and logging so I had to do a lot of code that it going to help me with the forthcoming features.

For those who are interested in my personal life, well... this evening I'm suppose to eat chicken with mushrooms. I'm looking forward to see the Simpsons Halloween Special  on Fox this week end.... ... seriously, this evening I'll release the Interactive Agents Plugin update for Messenger 5 to ActiveBuddy. After they've done some beta test, they will release it to the public. You should try it, it's really a great tool (mostly interesting for USA people though).

I'm also going to add some more commands to MP2. Starting tomorrow I'll code the multi color/format feature... if you do not know what I'm talkign about, it's the feature that will allow you to send different colors in the same texts... exactly like IRC... if we're lucky enough, it will be really like IRC, by that I mean that it will add the underline and the background color option for your text. That's one of the feature I hope will make MP2 a success.

Again, I hope that the Alpha version will be available for the end of next week. I want to add logging first so.. we'll see.... for those interested in scripting, I still don't know what to do as it will directly be related to the Messenger API I can use.

Patchou.
