AIM: Pidgin can't retrieve buddy list
by Jay R. Ashworth 29 Sep '09

29 Sep '09

About 20 minutes ago, my copy of Pidgin 2.4.1 for Linux started popping me up a dialogue box every couple of minutes that it could not retrieve my buddy list from AIM. That the list was not gone, it just couldn't access it. YMSG seems to be working fine. Dumped the client and restarted, no change. Kopete, for it's part, says it's online, and has cached user/group counts about where I'm expecting... nope, it just popped a can't connect dialogue. Did AIM fall over? I'm pretty sure downforeveryone isn't that smart... Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.

"When a contractor's jackhammer smashed through major fibre-optic and copper Telstra cables, businesses in the Sydney CBD's north-west quarter faced a potential telecommunications disaster. But with practiced speed, efficiency and expertise, Telstra swung into action undertaking a massive and daunting repair job to ensure affected businesses spent not one minute longer than necessary without phones or internet." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wT2jMUCVdJU

I'm getting failed lookups using google search from Louisville (insight communications). "can't open the page because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection.". Wondering if this is local or widespread. Thanks Jason Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry
