1 Figures out the other person's IP address if they also have the same

4 This would be a really interesting and pretty useful plugin. It
|
|
|
5 could work possibly by sending 'hidden' text in the form of an
|
|
|
6 HTML tag or something, and if it receives the same hidden text,
|
|
|
7 it could then pass messages back and forth to send and receive
|
|
|
8 the IP addresses.

12 Ever get annoyed because gaim doesn't support some HTML markup?
|
|
|
13 Here's a work-around. (Although, if you're this determined, you
|
|
|
14 might as well just hack gaim and send us the patches ;-) .)

18 If someone sends you a message, immediately send them a message
|
|
|
19 back. Add fun things to the message. Reverse their text, then
|
|
|
20 send it back to them. Play with fonts and colors and HTML tags.
|
|
|
21 Really annoy the hell out of them. :-)

23 Control gaim by monitoring a file

25 I have to admit, I blatently stole this idea from LICQ. But it
|
|
|
26 is a really interesting concept. What happens is it watches a
|
|
|
27 certain file to see if it's empty or not. If it's not, it reads
|
|
|
28 the contents and executes any commands stored in there (such as
|
|
|
29 send a message to someone). This can be nice for having remote
|
|
|
30 control of gaim.

|
33 These are just some of the ideas I came up with in about ten minutes. A
|
|
|
34 really nice thing about having plugins is as long as your code doesn't
|
|
|
35 segfault, you can keep testing and debugging without having to restart
|
|
|
36 gaim. Plus the plugins tend to be small, and quick and easy to compile,
|
|
|
37 so development should be quick. Try to have FUN with these plugins :-).
|
|

38 (BTW, dibs on the 'control by file' plugin. :-) .)
