Free oscar software for linux

Gaim is a multi-protocol instant messaging client for Linux, BSD, MacOS X, and Windows. It is compatible with AIM (Oscar and TOC protocols), ICQ, MSN Messenger, Yahoo, IRC, Jabber, Gadu-Gadu, and Zephyr networks.
Gaim users can log in to multiple accounts on multiple IM networks simultaneously. This means that you can be chatting with friends on AOL Instant Messenger, talking to a friend on Yahoo Messenger, and sitting in an IRC channel all at the same time.
Gaim supports many features of the various networks, such as file transfer (coming soon), away messages, typing notification, and MSN window closing notification.
It also goes beyond that and provides many unique features.
A few popular features are Buddy Pounces, which give the ability to notify you, send a message, play a sound, or run a program when a specific buddy goes away, signs online, or returns from idle; and plugins, consisting of text replacement, a buddy ticker, extended message notification, iconify on away, and more.
Enhancements:
- Fix system log start times for some protocols
- SILC compiles with newer SILC toolkit versions (Pekka Riikonen)
- Fixed a bug where buddy icon cache files were left in the icon cache directory after they were no longer in use.
- Attempt to detect the file type of a buddy icon when saving.
- Additional Yahoo! boot protection (Peter Lawler)
- A few Yahoo! memory leaks plugged (Peter Lawler)
- Fixed handling of the new Yahoo! profile page. (Joshua Honeycutt, Peter Lawler)
- Fixed localized Yahoo! room lists. Please refer to the Yahoo! section of the Gaim FAQ for details. (Peter Lawler)
- Enabled sending files to ICQ users using ICQ 5.02 and newer (Jonathan Clark)

Pidgin, previously known as Gaim, is a multi-protocol instant messaging client for Linux, BSD, MacOS X, and Windows. Pidgin messenger is compatible with AIM and ICQ (Oscar protocol), MSN Messenger, Yahoo!, IRC, Jabber, SILC, Gadu-Gadu, GroupWise Messenger, and Zephyr networks.
Pidgin users can log in to multiple accounts on multiple IM networks simultaneously. This means that you can be chatting with friends on AOL Instant Messenger, talking to a friend on Yahoo Messenger, and sitting in an IRC channel all at the same time.
Pidgin supports many features of the various networks, such as file transfer, away messages, typing notification, and MSN window closing notification. It also goes beyond that and provides many unique features.
A few popular features are Buddy Pounces, which give the ability to notify you, send a message, play a sound, or run a program when a specific buddy goes away, signs online, or returns from idle; and plugins, consisting of text replacement, a buddy ticker, extended message notification, iconify on away, spell checking, tabbed conversations, and more.
Pidgin runs on a number of platforms, including Windows, Linux, and Qtopia (Sharp Zaurus and iPaq).
Pidgin integrates well with GNOME 2 and KDE 3.1s system tray, as well as Windowss own system tray. This allows you to work with Pidgin without requiring the buddy list window to be up at all times.
Pidgin is under constant development, and releases are usually frequent. The latest news regarding Pidgin can be found on the news page.
Enhancements:
- libpurple:
- Core changes to allow UIs to use second-granularity for scheduling. Pidgin and Finch, which use the glib event loop, were changed to use g_timeout_add_seconds() on glib >= 2.14 when possible. This allows glib to better group our longer timers to increase power efficiency. (Arjan van de Ven with Intel Corporation)
- No longer linkifies screennames containing @ signs in join/part notifications in chats
- With the HTML logger, images in conversations are now saved. NOTE: Saved images are not yet displayed when loading logs.
- Added support for QIP logs to the Log Reader plugin (Michael Shkutkov)
Pidgin:
- Ensure only one copy of Pidgin is running with a given configuration directory. The net effect of this is that trying to start Pidgin a second time will raise the buddy list. (Gabriel Schulhof)
- Undo capability in the conversation window
- The formatting toolbar has been reorganized to be more concise.
- A new status area has been added to the top of conversations to provide additional detail about the buddy, including buddy icon, protocol and status message.
- Show idle times in the buddy list as days, hours, seconds
Finch:
- Theres support for workspaces now (details in the manpage)
- Theres a new custom window manager, Irssi
- Some improvements for tab-completion, tooltip and the password entries
- Some bugs regarding search results fixed
- A new DBus-script to create a docklet for finch
- Support for showing empty groups in the buddy list (Eric Polino)

POE::Component::OSCAR is a POE component for the Net::OSCAR module.

SYNOPSIS

use POE qw(Component::OSCAR);

[ ... POE set up ... ]

sub _start { # start an OSCAR session $oscar = POE::Component::OSCAR->new();
# start an OSCAR session with automatic throttling of new connections
# to prevent being banned by the server
$oscar = POE::Component::OSCAR->new( throttle => 4 );

# set up the "im_in" callback to call your state, "im_in_state"
$oscar->set_callback( im_in => im_in_state);

# its good to detect errors if you dont want to get banned
$oscar->set_callback( error => error_state );
$oscar->set_callback( admin_error => admin_erro_stater );
$oscar->set_callback( rate_alert => rate_alert_state );

# sign on
$oscar->signon( screenname => $MY_SCREENNAME, password => $MY_PASSWORD );
}
sub im_in_state { my ($nothing, $args) = @_[ARG0..$#_]; my ($object, $who, $what, $away) = @$args;
print "Got $what from $whon";
}

Simple PHP Calendar is a a simple, extensible PHP calendar class. The project focuses exclusively on generating an HTML representation for a given month. It is meant to be easily extended for use in other applications, such as input widgets for forms, or full event calendaring applications. Its output is completely customizable via CSS.
A simple example
After downloading the class and including it in your PHP script, youre ready to start using it. The constructor requires two paramets, a year and month. The following code produces a very plain looking calendar.
1 require_once( class.Calendar.php );
2 $cal = new Calendar (2004, 3 );
3 echo "".$cal->getFullMonthName()."";
4 echo $cal->display();
Customizing the display
You can use two methods to change how the calendar is displayed. Use setTableWidth to define how wide to make the table, in pixels or as a percentage of the screen. Use setDayNameFormat to change how weekdays are displayed in the header row using strftime formats.
1 require_once(class.Calendar.php);
2 $calendar = new Calendar (2004, 4);
3 $calendar->setTableWidth(50%);
4 $calendar->setDayNameFormat(%A);
5 echo "".$calendar->getBriefMonthName().";
6 echo $calendar->display();
Final Example
You can use CSS selectors to control the formatting of all aspects of the calendar, including adding borders and how empty boxes display. Lets wrap our talbe in a div named calendar and use the following styles.
/* overall table */
#calendar table {
border:1px solid #fff;
padding: 0;
margin:20px;
}
/* the day headers across the top */
#calendar th {
background: #565;
color: #fff;
margin: 3px;
padding: 2px 5px;
}
/* how days this month will look, make dates appear in top right */
#calendar td {
background: #eee;
color: #000;
padding: 2px;
margin:0;
height:60px;
text-align:right;
vertical-align:top;
border:1px solid #fff;
}
/* these are the days falling outside this month */
#calendar td.notInMonth {
background: #999;
}
Enhancements:
- The documentation has been polished.
- An example has been added for extending the class to customize how a calendar grid will display.

Tinyquizz project is a deliberately simplistic tool to produce self-assessment quizzes. Quizzes consist of a single entirely self-contained XHTML file. There is no need for a web server, PHP, database server, or e-learning platform to run them. A simple web browser is enough. It even fully works offline.
Quizzes produces by Tinyquizz can only be used for self-assessment because the answers are contained in the quizz file.
How does Tinyquizz work ?
Quizzes are written in XML, that is raw text with tags to delimit sections. For instance here is a question (tags are in bold):
< question>
< statement>You can cross when the light is < /statement>
< answer correct="no">Red< /answer>
< answer correct="yes">Green< /answer>
< /question>
Once you wrote the quizz you transform it with an XSLT processor or using the online transformer which does not require any installation.
Any basic text editor is ok to write Tinyquizz quizzes. However you may prefer to use a dedicated XML text editor such as Jaxe which can additionally ensure that the syntax is correct. Indeed you need to use the right tag at the right place
Enhancements:
- Input widgets are now locked once the result is displayed.
- A new reset button has been added.
- A new optional < justification > tag can now be added after each answer to provide the user with individualized feedback.
- Disc bullets are used for answers when there is no correct answer.
- New reference documentation is now available on the Web site as well as in the distribution.
