Some updates. The Jeopardy! college tournament last week and
this week is at the RBC Center in Raleigh, NC. It's the basketball
area where the NC State Wolfpack play and the NHL Carolina Hurricanes.
I was there for the taping of the last two episodes. They'll be
aired this Thursday and Friday. You should watch, maybe you'll
see me! Of course, you don't have any idea what I look like.

This file describes how to compile and run gaim with dbus support. Hopefully, most of the steps from point 3 will soon be automated. 1. Make sure you have the latest version (0.34) of the dbus library installed, including glib bindings. http://www.freedesktop.org/Software/dbus 2. Compile gaim ./configure --enable-dbus make make install 3. Configure your dbus instalation for gaim A. Find your dbus session configuration file, usually /etc/dbus-1/session.conf B. In that file, find the <servicedir> section. This section contains the directory that stores files describing services, usually /usr/share/dbus-1/services C. Copy src/dbus-gaim.service to that directory D. Edit the dbus-gaim.service file you've just copied, and replace the path in the "Exec=" line with the path to your gaim executable. 4. Start Session DBUS if you haven't done it already eval `dbus-launch --session` export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID These commands will set the two above shell variables. These variables must be set before running any dbus-aware programs. Start gaim as usual. To communicate with it, use "gaim-send". When you execute gaim-send, the dbus system will automatically start a gaim process if one is not running already.
