JMonitor - A Jabber client in Python

Posted by admin on September 29, 2004

Some months ago I developed a mini jabber client. My primary intention was to show
the temperature in Seville on a jabber contact.
I hacked away a demo client from the python-jabber doc and implemented
JMonitor. Since then, some friends have
been testing the thing on their favourite jabber client. Rumour has it that there are some people that
even like the thing :)

The client is a simple python application that gets connected to a previously
created jabber account to show some text on its status message [
here is a image showing it in action
]. I use it to show the temperature
updated every 5 minutes. The thing is that it can be used to show some random message.

If you want to subscribe to JMonitor to see the temperature (metric units only) in
Seville (Does it interest anyone not living in Seville?), you only have to add
the contact: sevillatemp@jabber.org to you contact list

If you are interested in the source code, you can get it from this subversion repository:
svn://svn.momona.org/terminus/jmonitor.
By the way, I am still working on it and it is still beta, but it seems to work pretty good. Expect some net disconnections.
