Happy New Year!
Got a number of questions over the past week:
Q: I want to build an AIM bot, but I am having trouble with rate
limits and other uptime issues. How can I ensure my bot stays online?
A: We have a bot program where you can be added to our "bot
whitelist" for a certain price (I don't know the pricing offhand). If
you are interested, send me an email with "bot" in the subject line and
I will send it on to our bot business folks. In the future, we hope to
have an AIM bot (naturally) where you can submit these requests.
Q: What happened to Direct Connect/Instant Images in Triton?
A: We ran out of time and it missed the cut for Triton 1.0. However I
have seen some demos from the team working on the UI for it and I can
say that it will be worth waiting for.
Q: Why doesn't Triton's audio or video work with Apple's iChatAV?
A: We switched to a new SIP stack with Triton, and both Triton and
iChatAV had some incompatibilities that did not fully get sorted out in
time for launch. Look for these incompatibilities to be resolved with
the next Triton (1.2 hopefully) and iChatAV builds.
Q: I don't like the green color used for the messages I send. Can I change the IM window text colors?
A: The colors are set in Triton's strings.xml file. You can find strings.xml at
C:\Program Files\Common Files\AOL\....\imapp\verXYZ\resources\en-US\.
In this file, <string
name="imForm.userColor">#4a9e00</string> sets everyone's
favorite green. "imForm.buddyColor" sets the sender's color. You can
change these values to something more pleasing to you; the changs will
take effect the next time you start Triton.
Q: Is the plugin API ready yet?
A: We are still expecting a release in the very near future. In the meantime...
Q: I looked at the acccore.dll type library you mentioned before
but I don't know where to start. What interface should I be looking at?
A: IAccPlugin is the base interface that all plugins need to
implement. Methods on that interface will be called when your plugin is
loaded and unloaded.
Q: Can I test the new Mac AIM client?
A: You will read about it here as soon as it is available.

Wasn't the new version of Jams supposed to be released today. At least that's what one of your previous blog posts said.
Based on reading other peoples blogs and putting 2 and 2 together i'd say there were a couple problems with the new triton should expect JAMS monday or tues
