O.P. gaim integration / msg+ protocol
Hey!
I was a very happy Messenger Plus user for many years. Whenever I sat down at a machine without Messenger Plus, I found it too awkward to use. Anyway, I've a reasonably old machine, so much so that newer msns consume too many cycles somehow to actually be doing anything useful while chatting and surfing. After a while I switched to Unix and gaim, which runs a lot faster, perhaps because of the better swap system.
Gaim has a lot of nifty msg+ like features, but it's not quite the same. I'd like to have more msg+y features, but without reverse engineering or packet sniffing, neither of which I have experience with, I don't know how to go about building that integration in. Does anyone know if there's anything published concerning the format of the msg+ text formating and such? Or anything else published concerning msg+ for that matter?
was put impeccably into words at DebianDay for me last Saturday, by Knut Yrvin of Trolltech - adults try something once, fail, and then are like "ffs this doesn't work". Children try, fail, and then try again, and succeed - maybe on the second, or even fifth retry. But the thing is that they keep at it and overcome the problems in the end.
