AIM fixed the hole that allowed the DeadAIM patch in its v5beta release.

Update: Never mind, a Google search quickly turned up a newer patch. :)

DeadAIM 2 beta: Neat! It comes as a Win2K MSI (MS installer), with available installers for earlier version of windows; it allows for transparency of buddylist and message windows, logging, additional alerts, patches itself into the My AIM menu, adds more options.. it's nifty. :)

(Might be a little buggy, though. Be sure to save your buddy list and totally uninstall AIM and DeadAIM before upgrading--that seemed to work best for me.)

Sweet, v2 is great! :-)

Golly, I feel horribly outdated...

What on earth is DeadAIM?

It does this:



Nice, eh? :)

Mmm, no ads. Tasty.

And I agree with TheNinjaKitten that Trillian is pretty cool. My only beef with it is that it's only friendly one user per computer, so the fact that my husband uses it means it's no fun for me to. And he whines about the length of my buddy lists cluttering up his window.

He's just jealous. ;)

I thought Trillian allowed multiple user logins simultaneously?

[csteph7579.livejournal.com]

Technically, yes, but if user B doesn't want to be bothered by user A's friends, user B has to manually log out user A, service by service, unless user A opts not to automatically log in. Which he doesn't. It's a bit of a pain. Also, no matter what, both users' complete buddy lists stay up, though in the "Offline" portion of the window, and my husband detests having 70+ SNs cluttering it up.

...waah. I have 140 people offline on AIM right now, though I can collapse that group..

Trillian. I'm all about Trillian. :)

Yeah, I just kinda haven't gotten around to that yet :)
