Looking for testers....
Tue May 15 2001

I've been working merrily (or not so, sometimes!) on the AtomIC Systems Jabber client. A number of people have commented on how unreliable, and how unfriendly the Jabber Instant Messenger (JIM) from jabber.com is and we've been working on our own version.

However, I have to say, if you find JIM unfriendly this product is not yet ready for you. But, if you're prepared to have a play, prepared to give us constructive feedback, and prepared to use software that could just blow your machine to bits, then the AtomIC Systems Jabberer is now (finally!) in a state where it can be used.

Its a Windows only client (98/NT/2000 - it may work on 95, I don't know!) and its still a bit rough around the edges. But it IS now useable if you want to help shape its future and let me know where the bugs are.

Drop me a mail, or leave a comment here with your email addres, if you want to take a look. Remember, with Jabber your contacts are stored on the server, so you won't lose them by changing client.

    Tried using the BUG feature but it didn't work - got some crazy database error from the main page.

    Anyway, I have a crazy bug to report. Where would I go about doing this?

    I'd be willing to test it. My computer can't more wrecked than it is, and I know how to kick it's processor back in line if it acts up.

    Anyhoo, I'd like to see if the Jabber software you have will stop giving me those annoying "You've been disconnected from the AOL server for using unauthorized software" messages.
