    Look at http://kit.tpu.org. RSA & IDEA encrypted instant messenging.

    Jabber supports SSL connections (at least on the server side, I haven't seen a client that supports it yet), so at some point I'll even be able to have my conversations encrypted! (Of course, I could just ssh into my friend's box and use talk locally...)

    If you want encrypted conversations, check out Keep in Touch http://kit.tpu.org. (Blatant plug). I could really use some help w/ this project, if anyone's interested. -henrik

  3. Re:This is a publicity stunt by Linegod · · Score: 1 · on BeOS 5.0 Available for Free - But Not Yet

    And I'd hardly call the people who code open-source "wannabe programmers" - I'd imagine they're far better coders than you are, seeing as how you're so closed-minded I doubt you ever try and learn new techniques.

    This was not an attack at _all_ open source coders. That would be insane. It's simply a comment on that fact that we have hundreds (!) of Instant Messaging clients, and only three Instant Messaging _Servers_ (Jabber, gicqd and KiT) that I know of.

    Linux is an excellent server platform, but has not made the leap in _current_ server-side apps, at least for the ones I'm looking for :)

    And I do not profess to be a programmer, I know my strengths and weaknesses, and programming is one of my weaknesses.

  4. This could be cool for the TPU crowd by Dungeon+Dweller · · Score: 1 · on Care to Register Your Own TLD?

    We could change www.tpu.org, to www.TeenProgrammers.unite!

    Might be an interesting thought...

  5. Did this in TPU by Dungeon+Dweller · · Score: 1 · on Artificial Intelligence IRC Bots?

    We did this in TPU did this a while ago. We had a LOT of fun doing it.

    The bots had some REALLY interesting conversations, if I ever track them down, I'll have to post some of my chat logs.

    Of course, one of our favorite hobbies was to put them into morally opposed channels, IE a sex channel then a christian channel... Putting them in #teen was fun. Sex channels are a blast, it isn't hard to blend in. One of my bots got into a fight in a sex channel once, and it ALWAYS got hit on.

    A couple fav's of the TPU crowd were bots that insulted/hit on people, and bots that gave out erroneous computer advice.

    Just ask around EFNet #TPU, you'll hear all about it from the older guys.
