Hello again!
I know, things have been rather quiet, but I have a couple of tidbits
nonetheless:
(1) First and foremost is the release of EBME TR2 (Testing Release 2),
an update to the mobile messenger that contains a few significant
bugfixes. For those who haven't heard of it, EBME is our mobile
messenger. It allows you to view who's online, and send and receive
instant messages from your mobile phone. It works with most phones now

you'll need to be able to run ebqt to set everything up (EBME won't do

enter your core details, and go!
If you already use EBME, you can use your phone's Update feature to
upgrade without losing any of your settings. Just highlight the
Everybuddy application, open the menu, and select Update to download
the new version.

them from elsewhere. If someone wouldn't mind creating a few 8x8 PNG
icons for me, I'd be much obliged.
(3) On a more minor point, there are a few bugfixes now in the trunk and
bleeding trees, which it might be worth checking out. "svn up", or use
