  1. Re:The MSN client I want is..... by ViceVirtue · · Score: 0 · on aMSN 0.95 Released

    http://konst.org.ua/centericq/
    CenterICQ has a Win32 binary available, my good chum :D I hope you enjoy it.
    It's a good client, does ICQ, Yahoo!, AIM, IRC, MSN, Gadu-Gadu(woo! yeah!) and Jabber.
    TMSNC may also be available for Win32.... nope, but it doesnt matter, it's always been unstable for me anyway.

    I use Centericq (http://konst.org.ua/centericq/) which is runnin behind a screen on my home comp so it is accessible where ever there is a ssh connection.

  3. ssh + screen + console by bagofcrap · · Score: 1 · on What Makes a Good IM Client?
    For serious geeking out, there are numerous ncurses-based im clients: naim, pork, centericq among others. Using screen, not only can you be online all the time, but you can also retrieve messages sent to you while you are 'away' from any computer you can log into. Start a conversation, switch computers, and continue exactly where you left off.

    Go Screen!

    I prefer centericq, a direct client with support for loads of protocols, plus things like livejournal and rss feeds.

    I've recently heard of another protocol for sending messages to people who are offline. It seems well tested, and at the moment there are many people using it.

    There are several clients available, here, here, and here, and there are many others. Hope that helps.

  6. GSM/GPRS - SprintPCS woes by numbski · · Score: 3, Interesting · on Linux Cellphone for Kids

    I must enjoy abuse. I keep renewing my account with SprintPCS. I've been with them since 98, and overall they've treated me pretty well, but make the smallest change to my account and they require me to renew my contract for 2 years. It's been about six months, but that means another 18 months with my current billing plan before I can port my number to another provider and take advantage of a phone like this.

    If it has a reasonable ssh client, then I'm all over it. :) mobile IM's never been so good.

    Not that I need IM. Just being able to log into my iMac and reaad e-mail would make me happy. Or a decent Java imap client that supports either subscriptions or a base mail directory. None out there seem to do this yet. :(

  7. CenterICQ for console by rwa2 · · Score: 1 · on Gaim Releases Version 1.0.0

    Console users might like to try CenterICQ. I pretty much leave it up all the time within a Screen session, and can connect to it via ssh from wherever ... work, home, PDA, etc.

  8. If you're really geeky... by numbski · · Score: 4, Informative · on Next iChat version to include Jabber support

    CenterICQ

    - Cross Platform
    - It supports server hosted friends list
    - Starts up quickly
    - Supports AIM, MSN, ICQ, YIM, Jabber, RSS, Gadu-Gadu, IRC, and LiveJournal
    - It's free as in speech (GNU)

    AND

    It can be put into a screen on a server, you can detach, then simply ssh into the server from a different location and reconnect to your screen as though you never left. I do this all the time. ;) I have connections to all the major services, a slashdot RSS, and any other RSS feeds I find interesting on our shell server at our data center, and it never skips a beat.

    FYI, if this interests you, contact me for a shell account. ;)

  9. Hmm by numbski · · Score: 4, Interesting · on Classroom Bullies On The Internet

    Granted, things will have probably changed by the time I have a child old enough to be dealing with anything like this (there seems to be a long history of 'geeks' in my family, my father was an electrician, my grandfather was a chemist, etc), but if I were a parent now, here's what I would probably do:

    Find the offending username/ip.
    Move them off of whatever IM client they're using now.

    Put them on something a bit more intelligent, my weapon of choice would be centericq, but anything that will allow you to do some scripting will work.

    Set up an auto-reply to that user. Auto-block that user. Heck, grab the IP address, nmap, and script-kiddie a shutdown of that IP. Doesn't matter, but you ARE empowered as a parent to stop this sort of thing.

    Granted, not all parents are as geeky as we are. There should be a basic 'block username' and 'block from IP address' function in an IM client, no?

    For IRC, I use irssi. It's neat, small, fast, and does what I need it to. Also, I haven't had the need to change any of its stock options yet - I like it the way it is. Other candidates are BitchX (annoying autoaway etc.), ircII (too much configuring, maybe?), or CenterICQ (don't like the interface for IRC).

    CenterICQ is my app of choice for IM. It's quirky sometimes, and once segfaulted, but other than that, I have had 0 problems with it. Also, it supports a variety of protocols.

    For web-browsing, I use links. I've tried lynx and w3m, but links just "does it" I guess :). It's got support for more stuff. Also, I find the -g option nice, something the other two don't have IIRC.

    I've tried Emacs, Pico, Nano, ed, etc. etc. etc., but so far, nothing has replaced my addiction to Vim. Maybe I'm a masochist, I don't know.

    When I'm at home in console mode, I usually use Alt+Fx to switch between different apps, and use screen to keep irssi and centericq running. When over ssh, I use screen. Sometimes, I run out of VTs, so I use screen to group things inside the VTs. When in X, I just keep things in separate rxvt windows.

    For entertainment, I have either NetHack, fortune -o, or bash.org (aww shit, slashdotted them, they're down enough as it is!) in links. :)

    I've asked for this last year and again this year. I want a color serial console to use upstairs running to my iMac downstairs so I can use screen'ed naim/centericq for IM, pine or elm for e-mail, and of course lynx for web browsing.

    Quiet, low power, and can be turned on or off at a moment's notice. Leaves you logged into all the IM services simultaneously too!

    Anyone know where to get these things on the cheap so I can forward the link to my SO? :) I think the higher level VT terminals support colors much like linux's terminal does...
