andrewduckerI finally got around to getting Jabber up and running. I'm very impressed by it so far, it's come on in leaps and bounds since I last used it, and I can seamlessly talk to people on my MSN list.
Of course, that's a bit pointless when nobody else I know is actually using Jabber. If anyone I know _is_ using Jabber, I'm available at andrewducker@myjabber.net
Oh, and I've reactivated my ancient ICQ account, so you may suddenly find yourself receiving requests from me to be your bestest friend, as Jabber can act as an ICQ proxy too, so I can chat to everyone at once.
Jabber's in mid-process of being ratified by the EITF, so hopefully it'll really catch on and then I'll be able to use all the cool Jabber functionality. For a client I recommend Exodus, but if anyone has a better suggestion I'm happy to hear it.
Things may be a bit iffy for a while, as different Jabber servers provide different services. MyJabber is the first reliable one I've found so far that provides MSN and ICQ, but doesn't seem to support the main user directory. If any Jabber experts out there want to give me advice on a better server, go for it.
