More stuff I've done

Recently I just released an early snapshot of my branch of naim that supports OSCAR. naim is the original text-mode AIM client; I have used it since at least 0.11.6 (mid-2003), if not longer. Recently, though, AOL disabled the (ancient) protocol by which we connected to AIM. Last time they disabled TOC, they replaced it with TOC2, which required a little bit of change from us; but this time, TOC2 is gone for good.

So, after two months of hacking, I wrote a protocol driver for the modern protocol, OSCAR, and modernized the Lua support for naim.

This was a big effort, and I'm pretty proud that I managed to make a positive contribution to a project that I regularly use. I also debugged one of the toughest problems I have faced recently, although I guess that is not saying much, since I solved it in an evening.

Except that the maintainer has sort of fallen off the planet and does not care. Oh well.

But anyway. Yeah. Stuff I've done. Woo.
