on-line status indicator update


Tags :


        It seems my on-line status indicator site I was using went AWOL recently.  I gave them time to get back on-line since they always seemed to work, but alas, I can wait no more.  So I will be finding a new host.  In my Google search for a new host, I came across this site, not what I had in mind at all, but still shockingly interesting that it exists.
        Also, I am implementing Sametime Links into the site.  I am using the awesome PDF by Carl Tyler of Instant Technologies.  Rob Novak uses the links and it works great.  I imagine it will help me, since with the new 6.5 client I mentioned Friday, I am always logged in when the client is running.  Which to make it short means I am pretending I am working at that time.

        Update, silly me!!!  I went to ICQ and they provide their own code and icons.  I also found a new host for AOL and MSN, but for some reason the MSN is acting flaky.  I will deal with that later though.  Thanks to Tony Kelleran (aka DominoDude) for the code I grabbed straight from Yahoo! for their on-line status.  Forget these 3rd party hosts that provide presence ability.  OK, reverse that theory.  I found a 99.9% (reported) uptime service.  The actual Yahoo icon was either too large or looked funny scrunched down.  So lets try the ones I am using now for a while.
