I updated my project splert to version 0.03 today.For those who don’t know splert is a tool that lets you convert the multi-client instant messenger pidgin (connects to gtalk, msn, yahoo, jabber, etc) into a full blown answering machine and much more.
The main changes are:
1. Now you can use other 3rd party twitter bots with it to get updates through twitter since the official twitter bot is down since a long time and there are no chances of coming back soon.
2. You can also use it even when you are not “away” by specifying the status when you want it to work. (e.g. any, available, unavailable, invisible, etc. Use splert -h to see all available status types). As an example, you can use this to selectively talk to people when you are busy.
For full details, downloads etc, hit the link: splert
(As usual, binary files as well as 32 bit and 64 bit ubuntu/debian deb packages are available)

I have problem with my gtalk application ( not gmail chat) when
connecting from normal windows xp pc .
problem is with 10 of my colegues working in the same network. 15
minutes after login to gtalk it shows my status to others as am
offline. For me freinds appear as offline while they are realy
online .
When i login again it will show status of online contacts properly
( online ) for 10 to 15 minutes again GMT + 4 uae is time zone.
It is windows domain based network with ISA and Juniper as proxy and
firewall , all gtalk connection are passing through these two.
