Googletalk Status

-



Thought I'd post re how I got the Google talk status thingy working on the side bar. This was stupidly simple ( after excessive googling that is ). Its easy because of a guy called Nathan Fritz has written a jabber bot called Edgar. The bot adds its self to your Googletalk contacts list, ( this is so it has visibility of your status ) then you can query the PHP status script at the Edgar site.

i.e. for my side bar I have just added the code ( can you call it code ? ) below :
<li>Someone<b><?php readfile("http://edgar.netflint.net/status.php?
jid=someemail@gmail.com/talk&type=text"); ?></b></li>

    erm, I've never seen the point of these as if someone needed to talk to me via google talk they would be at a pc that had the google talk features anyway... so what am I missing? I log onto my email, there's details there... I'm missing something aren't I? But what is it?

Went to see them (again) last night. Honestly, people don't listen to enough T-Rex, even though it can substantially improve your life. A lot of people say "I don't know anything they did", so you don't know Metal Guru, Jeepster, Telegram Sam, Hot Love, Children of the Revolution, Ride a White Swan, Get it On, I Love to Boogie, New York City, The Groover, Solid Gold Easy Action, or 20th Century Boy. Right. Bolan was totally the man, until the untimely tree/mini incident. Genius.
