Gaim is an
AIM client for
UNIX-like
environments with
gtk. The
license is
GPL. It
supports both
TOC and
OSCAR.
the name makes
sense, while( !strcmp(strcat(g, aim) , gaim) )
According to the
website (at
www.marko
.net/gaim), it's "The
Penguin Pimpin' IM Clone That's
Good For The
Soul". It's
pronounced "
gay-
mm", which is not so
cool.
Not that there's anything wrong with that. Its
code is hosted at
SourceForge.
I was playing around with the source code to gaim and I found a stupid easter egg.
To find it, first add one of the following gaim developers to your buddy list:
When they're
online,
triple-
click their
screen name in the
buddy list with your 3rd
mouse button (or
both mouse buttons if you have a
2-button mouse and
Emulate3Buttons enabled on
XFree86).
Depending on
who you
clicked, one of the
following messages will
appear:
I don't know how long this
easter egg has
existed, but I
discovered it on the
current CVS, which will soon become
version 0.10.0. Either way, it's a really
dumb egg.

Just don't get the
cvs unless you're willing to do some
debugging. It's
buggy as
shiat.
