Name dropping
I love seeing who's on the bleedyellow IM server. It's a virtual Lotusphere. And it makes me think that we should get the Advanced features rolling in the not-too-distant future so we can get the persistent rooms. I used to use IRC channels in my gaming days, and they're a great way to keep current on topical matters.
If you didn't gather from the podcast, when you activate a bleedyellow.com account, you can then login into im.bleedyellow.com through Sametime (whether the Notes integrated version or the standalong version -- or even the Trillian plug-in!) All you need is port 1533 comms.
Just remember that your user name is your EMAIL ADDRESS. A few people have been trying to use a more standard shortname model, but all the Connections components authenticate against email address.
UPDATE: Wait a minute... brainstorm.... what would people think about scheduling virtual Lotusphere sessions using Sametime on Bleedyellow? There's no technical reason why we couldn't invite John Head to give his presentation on Symphony integration, or Bob Balaban on Xpages, or maybe even new content... like Mitch Cohen & Chris Whisonant giving a virtual seminar on Connections implementation? Maybe Mac Guidera would want to participate as well?
Why NOT just have a persistent virtual Lotusphere going? If we had permanent rooms, they really would be like session rooms, wouldn't they?
Thoughts? Feedback please!!!

How about a Sametime Gateway so we can just connect ours to bleedyellow
now if I can just remember what email address I used to register...since Chris Miller is taken I presume I did.
Is there any way to reset or email it? Cant find a link

Pidgin (used to be Gaim) also supports Sametime out of the box, and runs on Linux/Win
Interesting thought about virtual sessions, I'd be willing to entertain the idea.

It looks like the plug-in only works for the Trillian "Pro" edition... Hope this isn't the case; regardless Sametime is working just fine.
Once again, great idea and thank you!

And you'd think that would be simple, wouldn't you? *sigh* My employer is increasingly unreasonable about the silliest things...
At least if the rooms are persistent, I could check them out from home. Great stuff, Nathan.

@4: Cool! I'll have to check that out when I get home.
@5: I'm in the same boat. Even if I could figure out how to get through the proxy, I think it would end up being a Really Bad Idea.
@6: Good idea about the "next live event" message.
