UPDATE -- Unfortunately, AOL has discontinued the TOC protocol, effectively breaking SteakIM. The source code is still up if anyone wants to use it as a learning tool, or to see how I implemented some of the more advanced features. I'm still available to answer questions regarding it by e-mail - dworinda [at] msu.edu

9/10/2003:New SteakIM Version

While the fact that i often program inebriated or tired has prevented me from keeping track of my changes, it has not prevented me from fixing a ton of bugs and improving stability for the NEXT VERSION OF STEAKIM. This version, like all other versions, is Totally Awesome and probably deserves a download from you and everyone you know. Head to the download area of the sourceforge page to check it out.

5/15/2003:New Features in SteakIM

The next version of SteakIM has some cool new features, as well as a ton of bug fixes. Among the new features, a %COUNTER% token, which automatically counts the days to an event, a %VOTERS% token, which shows who has voted in a poll, and streamlined interfaces in the Blog dialogue. I probably added some other things too, I just can't remember what they are.

I've also been looking for a long time at Address Book integration. I think this would be useful but it would go back on the initial goal of keeping SteakIM low resource. Right now, I'm looking at either integrating it with Microsoft Outlook, the Windows Address Book, Mozilla/Netscape, or Palm, or creating my own Address Book database for SteakIM. If anyone has any comments on what they feel should be done with this, or if it should be left out, feel free to let me know.

5/3/2003:First SteakIM Related E-Mail

I got my first SteakIM related E-mail today from poundsmack. It's pretty cool to know that people are using a piece of software that you made, so if you want to send me an e-mail it would be sweet.

5/5/2003:SteakIM Reaches 75 Downloads

As of May 3rd, 75 people have downloaded SteakIM. At this point, I see lots of people trying it, but very little feedback. If you want, just IM me at litlevito and I'll help with problems or explain stuff. Even if you don't need that, it would be cool to know people are using it.
