Hello again! I know, things have been rather quiet, but I have a couple of tidbits nonetheless: (1) First and foremost is the release of EBME TR2 (Testing Release 2), an update to the mobile messenger that contains a few significant bugfixes. For those who haven't heard of it, EBME is our mobile messenger. It allows you to view who's online, and send and receive instant messages from your mobile phone. It works with most phones now on the market, and it's rapidly become indispensible for me! To use it, you'll need a publically accessible Everybuddy core, and you'll need to be able to run ebqt to set everything up (EBME won't do that). I can run a core for you, if you want, but you will still need ebqt - talk to me. Anyway, once you have those two, point your mobile phone at http://www.everybuddy.com/eb-lite/files/ebme.jad, download, enter your core details, and go! If you already use EBME, you can use your phone's Update feature to upgrade without losing any of your settings. Just highlight the Everybuddy application, open the menu, and select Update to download the new version. (2) Calling all artists! If you follow my instructions above and download EBME, you'll rapidly discover that the icons are somewhat wacky. This is because I have no artistic skill, and so had to steal them from elsewhere. If someone wouldn't mind creating a few 8x8 PNG icons for me, I'd be much obliged. (3) On a more minor point, there are a few bugfixes now in the trunk and bleeding trees, which it might be worth checking out. "svn up", or use a nightly build. I think a minor release is probably in the works. (4) Lastly, I'd like to encourage everyone to report bugs at http://bugs.everybuddy.com - it really helps, and it's by far the best way of making sure that I take notice of a bug report or feature request!
